Ikea vending machine offers kitchen tools

Ikea has installed a vending machine at a Stockholm subway station to sell small kitchen items such as a garlic press, an egg slicer and other tools, according to Ehandel.com, a retail site. The machine is located near a new Ikea kitchen products store.

The temporary store is about 4,300 square feet and includes a showroom with seven display kitchens, according to a press release from Ikea Sweden.

The vending machine, which will be up for a few weeks, encourages consumers to "get a kitchen to go with their garlic press."

The machine accepts payment cards.
