Just Meh!

I bought this in November, the espresso side started acting up. Contacted them, finally got it figured out and after I cut the cord, they sent me a new one. This one isn't much better, when I close the coffee side it leaks.

Would not recommend

Do not purchase this item if you plan on making espresso for more than 1 year. The espresso function malfunctioned after 1 year of using it and past its warranty so they only offered 30% off. Why repurchase if it is just going to break again??Upon further research and looking at reviews, this is a VERY common issue. It appears Ninja has not been taking their feedback seriously and is not fixing this issue for this particular model. It was good while it lasted but not worth the money since it won’t last long!

Lasted just over one year

Lasted just over one year. The unit can no longer puncture the nespresso pods so it can’t make espresso any longer. Company offered 30% off only. Can not be serviced. I will never buy another Ninja. A horrible ripoff unit

Great when it worked

We used ours daily, until we couldn’t. About 13 months of use. Now it won’t power on. Zero lights. Known working outlet, nada. My guess is some sort of thermal fuse was tripped making it completely inoperable. Pretty sweet how the warranty lasts a year and not long after that year the entire thing is kaput, unfixable, and now a paperweight on my kitchen counter. Loved it while it worked but won’t buy again. If it’s failing for no reason at this point in time, it’s by design.

Disappointed

Didn’t even last a year, we get an error message and have to reset the clock every time to get it to work now. So disappointing, we love Ninja products and have a bunch of them. Not this one though.

Great while it lasts (two broke before a year old)

Great while it lasts. First one just kept giving errors after several hours troubleshooting with support. The warranty was honored and.a new machine was sent but unfortunately less than a year of owning that one, it now will not brw any pods.

One of the worst purchases we've ever made

This items is defective. It keeps shutting off and we're unable to make even a cup of coffee. Additionally I can't run the cleaning cycle.

Great machine but...

I’m leaving this review as an FYI for anyone considering this machine. We purchased it in November 2022 and absolutely loved it at first. We followed all cleaning instructions and it worked great—until it didn’t. One day, while sitting in our living room, the machine randomly turned on, started beeping, and had flashing lights. After checking troubleshooting options, there was no clear fix for this error. We contacted Ninja, and they told us the unit could not be repaired and would need to be replaced. They offered a 30% discount toward a new machine. While we appreciate the discount, it raises concerns about durability. We don’t use the machine daily, so having it fail after only a few years is disappointing. If you’re okay with potentially replacing a machine every few years, this may still work for you. Otherwise, you may want to keep looking.
