This 2012 Taylor 791 soft serve machine is a proven commercial performer built for reliable, day-in/day-out operation in busy foodservice environments. Manufactured by Taylor, this 3-phase, air-cooled configuration is well suited for locations that prefer a simpler installation without the need for water hookups.
The Taylor 791 is a twin-twist, gravity-fed soft serve freezer, allowing operators to serve two individual flavors or a classic twist from one machine. It is widely known for consistent freezing performance, smooth product texture, and dependable output during peak service periods. These characteristics make the 791 a popular choice for frozen yogurt shops, ice cream stores, convenience stores, and high-volume restaurants.
Its air-cooled refrigeration system uses surrounding air to dissipate heat, reducing installation complexity while maintaining stable operation when adequate ventilation is provided. This design makes the Taylor 791 an excellent option for many storefront and back-of-house applications where water-cooled systems are unnecessary or impractical.
Every reconditioned Taylor soft serve machine from Soft Serve Parts undergoes a thorough inspection and performance test prior to shipment. Our technicians fully clean and sanitize each unit, replace worn components as needed, verify refrigeration and drive system operation, and run the machine under load to ensure consistent freezing and draw quality.
Your reconditioned 2012 Taylor 791 air-cooled soft serve machine arrives ready to install and operate—connect power, add mix, and begin serving soft-serve ice cream or frozen yogurt. Durable, efficient, and easy to operate, the Taylor 791 remains a trusted solution for operators who value long-term reliability and straightforward performance in a commercial soft serve machine.
