A Lil' Orbits Classic

The SS1200.

The machine most of our electric operators end up choosing — and never trading in.

The SS1200 is our highest selling electric donut machine... and there's a reason. It hits all the sweet spots: enough production for most businesses, easy enough for one person to set up, attractive and clean stainless steel construction, runs off a standard 20-amp outlet*, and our patented automatic production that makes customer stop and watch. Same proven design since the 1970s, only updated to meet modern standards.

Even though we are proud to offer a 90-day trade in program on all of our donut machine models, we're proud to admit that it's not a popular program! Most of the time, when a new customer finds out that the SS1200 they purchased can't keep up with their demand, they just purchase a second one - or an SS2400 - and keep the SS1200 as a backup. It's that good.

Lots of Profit, Very Little Space

The Model 800.

Under 3 sq ft, 37 pounds, and it'll fry anything you put in front of it.

The Model 800 is the sweet little sibling — designed for the spots where space is the real constraint. Up to 800 high-profit mini-donuts an hour, runs off a standard 20-amp outlet*, and here's the kicker: push the donut hopper out of the way and it doubles as a universal fryer. French fries, egg rolls, breaded veggies, anything that needs to be fried. Two businesses, one machine.

* Important Details on Power Requirements

Before your equipment ships, our team will do their best to confirm your requirements so there are no surprises on day one.
Here's exactly what each electric machine needs, so you can plan accordingly.

Model 800

Standard outlet

One standard 20-amp wall outlet is all it needs.

  • 115V AC, 60 Hz, 1,800 W, 20 A
  • NEMA 5-20P plug (one outlet)
  • 220V / 60 Hz available for international
NEMA 5-20 plug and receptacle configuration diagram

SS1200

Standard outlet

Same single 20-amp outlet as the Model 800 — works in most venues without an electrician.

  • 115V AC, 60 Hz, 2,300 W, 20 A
  • NEMA 5-20P plug (one outlet)
  • 220V / 50 Hz universal version available
NEMA 5-20 plug and receptacle configuration diagram

SS2400

Plan ahead — 2 outlets

The SS2400 has two power cords and needs two separate outlets to run.

  • Heating element: 220V AC, 50/60 Hz, 5,760 W, 30 A
  • Motor controls: 110V AC, 2.5 A
  • NEMA 6-30P plug for the 220V circuit

Heads up: The SS2400's 220V/30A circuit isn't a standard household outlet — it's the same kind a clothes dryer or electric oven uses. Confirm with your venue or electrician before ordering. If you're not sure, just call us and we'll help you figure it out: (763) 559-7505.
