Easy to use while mostly asleep. 99% ideal.
This is a great product, and a good value at this price. The espresso size choices are very close to perfect for the amount of coffee in a Nespresso original pod. The brew-through side is adequate, producing a brew quality equal to the quality of the coffee choice.

Poor quality
I received as a wedding gift and a year later the buttons are unresponsive and it randomly beeps. I tried troubleshooting and was told I am outside my warranty by a couple months and so they said there’s nothing they can do. I loved it while it worked but don’t waste your money because you’ll need a new one every year.

Would not buy
Received this machine for a housewarming gift and a year later there is power loss. Went through all the troubleshooting and support for them to say this is a known issue with this machine and we haven't found a solution. However, since its outside of the warranty timeframe, they can only offer me a 20% discount on the same machine. to have the same issues a year later. Extremely disappointed.

Customer review from Shark Ninja
Not “Smart” at all, wasted, costly and huge
I have had it for like 8-9 months and it’s crap. It leaks/drips. It starts without the coffee pot(Society had “smart” tech for this, it was the spring knob on the top of the pot). The frothed doesn’t offer a heating element. It doesn’t come with or have reusable pods even though when I called the company they acted all cryptic and said “there are reusable pods for the espresso”, well I haven’t found them and that’s not convenient at all to not share who makes a reusable pod. It’s the modern era where landfills outnumber people! Disposable stuff needs to go, that would be “smart tech”. Not impressed at all. You should find a better option for far less money.

Espresso feature not working properly
After a few months of using it, it stopped puncturing the pods/capsules. I’ve wasted enough money trying different brands, thinking that would be the problem.

It's worth it if you pay for espresso
I have had this machine for one year. I've lost maybe 5 pods due to some mishap or other w/ the water flowing throught the pods. But that was almost all upon my initial use. Since then, it has proven invaluable and kept me out of starbucks for shots to the tune of hundreds of dollars.

Espresso system doesn’t work - many reviews agree
Have been using for three months and the espresso pods work at a rate of about one in five or six. The system seems incapable of puncturing pods. I’ve seen dozens of other reviews on this site and others that say the same thing and haven’t seen any response from ninja to indicate they’ve done something about it or made up for the money lost by customers.
