Oddly enough, my local Wally-mart has two of those machines.  Unfortunately,
it appears that only a few of their technicians actually know how to operate
them.  The first one struggled for over an hour to mount two tires; the
second one gave up (and tried to claim that my 15" tires were the wrong size
for my 15" rims).
