Why Choose Marwey for Your Cotton Candy Machine?

Typically, no. The vast majority of commercial-grade mini claw machines are designed to be plugged into a standard wall outlet (AC power). They are not intended to be battery-operated due to the relatively high power demands of the lights, joystick controls, and claw mechanism. Some very small, toy-grade versions for home use might use batteries, but for arcade or business use, you should plan on having access to a reliable power source.

Essentially, there is no significant difference! The terms Photo Booth Machine and Selfie Booth (or Selfie Station) are often used interchangeably to describe the same type of modern interactive photography equipment.

Both machines:

• Capture high-quality images (and often GIFs/videos).

• Allow for instant digital sharing (email, text, social media).

• Include fun props, filters, and backdrops.

•  

The term "Photo Booth Machine" is the original, traditional name, while "Selfie Booth" is a newer, more contemporary term that emphasizes the modern, digital sharing capabilities and the user's control over their own photo experience. When you're searching for one, you're almost always looking for the same product!

The ideal photo booth background balances visual appeal, versatility, and branding potential. While classic options like sequin curtains or floral walls remain popular, modern solutions offer greater flexibility. MARWEY's approach enhances this further through integrated technology.

For versatility, a solid neutral-colored backdrop (grey, white, black) provides a clean, professional base that suits any event theme. More importantly, MARWEY's digital background technology allows you to transcend physical limitations. You can project custom branded environments, animated scenes, or even green-screen effects directly through the booth's interface.

This digital capability, combined with MARWEY's AI-powered features, enables real-time background customization and themed overlays—meaning a single physical setup can offer endless creative possibilities. The "best" background ultimately aligns with your event's purpose, but with MARWEY, it becomes a dynamic, interactive element rather than just a static decoration.

They are highly versatile and effective for a wide range of businesses, including:

• ​Event Planners:​​ For weddings, corporate events, and parties.

• ​Route Operators:​​ Managing multiple locations with consistent, reliable equipment.

• ​Location Owners:​​ Such as bars, malls, amusement parks, and tourist attractions looking to increase foot traffic and social media exposure.

MARWEY machines feature advanced connectivity allowing remote software updates via secure internet connection. Updates include new game content, security patches, performance optimizations, and feature enhancements. Critical updates are automatically deployed, while optional content updates can be scheduled during off-peak hours to minimize operational disruption.
