Water leak and error messages.
Coming just shy of two years. Sadly the first Ninja Priduct I’ve been incredibly disappointed in. Started out great. Then low water. Then leak. Not worth the value by any stretch. I own a lot of Ninja products. Megazone Airfryer. creami and slushi. This by far was a big hit to me as the other products I don’t use as often. Do better Ninja. please.

I love it
I love it but I do not use all of it's features. I've had it two years and I make coffee or expresso based drinks
I bought it to cut down on my Starbucks bill and he has done that. I am looking into it's other features now.

Yea and meh.
It arrived with a broken water reservoir that needed an additional 7 business days to be sent to me. I could buy one and it could be here in 1-2 days. One less week on my warranty also. Poor start.
After using it a few weeks it brews pods fine, definitely needs rinsing between uses, so I worry about it holding up over time.
The drip brewer is just okay but the carafe...

Espresso stopped working after two years
After two years espresso part stopped working. The pods are not perforated and the water goes everywhere except for through the pod. And once I started troubleshooting I learnt that it is a very common issue with this machine. And there is no fix for it.
The brew part still works fine but the whole point of this machine is to be able to get both brewed coffee and espre...

Replacing & hoping it dosent fail in a year again
This will be my last Ninja product that I buy, unless it exceeds expectations for the next 5 years. This is my second time purchasing this exact unit. Our last unit became defective after just over a year of use, the nespresso side no longer worked. I was faced with the decision of disposing of almost $100 worth of nespresso pods, or buying the machine again.

Have been looking at this model for over a year. We have a Ninja Keurig pod multi brewer but wanted the Nespresso pod feature. When it went on sale and the website offered another 10% off, that was the time to buy. Now with this unit and our Ninja Cafe Lux, I have all of my coffee bases covered! Love Ninja products!

Great all in one machine!
This coffee and espresso machine is wonderful! The drip coffee is delicious as is the espresso and I really like the milk frother! For my preference, I brew 2 Nespresso capsules for a cappuccino. It’s also important to know that you have to heat the milk first before frothing it. I enjoy the ability to make cold froth with this, but I would like if they would add a stea...

I really wanted to like this coffee maker, but after a few weeks of use, I’m pretty disappointed. The biggest issue is inconsistency—some days the coffee tastes fine, and other days it comes out weak or bitter even when I use the exact same settings. The machine also tends to leak a little from the brew basket, which leave...

Hubby bought this for me for Christmas in 2022 and it was great. Used both sides and almost all of the features with no issues. But then came year and half mark. It started flashing for no reason and couldn't stop it until you unplugged it. Called support and because it wasn't doing it during the video call, nothing they could do (they said). Then it started cutting off...

We’re very sorry to hear about the issues you’ve experienced over time, that’s not the level of quality or durability we strive for, especially in a product you’ve enjoyed and depended on for so long.

Your feedback about the brewing temperature, programming, and compatibility changes is extremely valuable, and we’ll make sure it’s shared with our product team for review. While the product is outside the standard warranty period, we’d still like to explore options to assist you. Please reach out to us at 1-800-365-0135, and we’ll do our best to find a solution that works for you.

Unresponsive after less than 3 years
My machine lasted less than three years. It's unresponsive and the led's just cycle through the options as if it's in store demo mode. Brews fine, but you'd think it would have lasted me longer.
