Great way to get your water!
Excellent way to get more water. My kids bought me this for Christmas present so I could get more water. It’s great to see the many combinations of flavors that you can create. Plus you get the option to make it flat or with the level of carbonation that you desire.

I love this drink system, BUT there is definitely a defect in the machines ability to dispense flavour after a while. We are on our 2nd system (1st was replaced under warranty for the same reason). Even with brand new pods, a clean machine... The system eventually fails and stops dispensing flavour. I'm torn on replacing it yet again because my kids and I love the fact...

Disappointed
This is my second thirsty that has stopped dispensing flavor , unfortunately it’s now out of warranty so ninja will not replace. Offered 30% on a third unit which i will pass as its a defect that i read many people have had . Really disappointed with ninja as i own many of their products and have had issues with a few . Time to move on to a different company.

I have purchased two ninja thirsti machines. The first one lasted for about 100 drinks before it stopped dispersing the flavoring. We tried to clean it and follow online advice but nothing worked. I purchased another one and it too stopped working after making maybe 30 drinks - same problem! We even purchased new flavor pods to ensure they weren’t the issue. The machine...

Good addition for quick drink choice.
Good addition for quick drink choice. I am not too happy with the default flavours yet trying to find my choice but even great to have it for my own fresh homemade flavoured soda drinks everyday .

Not thirsti anymore!
This thing is great, very convenient and easy to use as it just dispenses into any cup instead of a huge bottle. Only complaint is there isn't any sugar variants of the flavour pods.

Quit working after 1-year warranty expired
I loved this machine when it worked — the concept and convenience are fantastic. Unfortunately, just after the 1-year warranty expired, one of the flavour cartridge dispensers stopped working. After reading through other reviews, it seems this is a common issue.
When I contacted Ninja support, they offered only a 30% discount on a replacement machine. That’s disappoint...

Stinks I really wanted to love this
We bought this a year ago and it was fantastic, however it now no longer works due to a design flaw. Based on online message boards this is a common issue but ninja will not help fix. Do not buy this product unless you want to fix yourself in the future

Awesome product but not all that is listed is included in the starter box. Missing 2 more flavors. Machine runs really well and flavors are great for adults and kids alike.

Then didn’t take the new one out of the box until a month ago…. And big shocker, won’t spew out ANY flavor. I have tried EVERYTHING ninja recommended and now my 1 year warranty is up.
