We have had this coffee maker for since August and we use it daily. What we have noticed is a green deposit at the base of the water reservoir within the sealed unit. How can you clean this ? You cannot get to it. We also notice that spare parts for this maker are not available. Very disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi there,
Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re sorry to hear you’re seeing green buildup inside the sealed section of your Single‑Serve Coffee Maker’s water reservoir. Since that area isn’t user‑accessible, it can’t be cleaned manually, and we understand how concerning that is, especially when you use the machine every day. We also appreciate you pointing out the difficulty in finding spare parts. We’d like to take a closer look at your unit and help explore the best next steps for you.

Bought about 1 yr ago. Still brewing well. Can’t say that about another popular brand I was replacing yearly in spite of routine cleaning with “kits” sold by maker . Very happy with purchase. Generally very pleased with Ninja brand and support !
Piece of crap don’t waste your money. Brewed extremely slow, continuously drips after brewing is complete. And after six months just quit working. Stick to air fryers.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

The buttons do not turn on anymore. I’ve owned it less than a year and cleaned it like I was supposed to and now it just stopped working. I’ve tried different outlets and it doesn’t turn on at all. Would not buy again!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This is actually a replacement. I LOVE IT!!! I love having a choice of either Grounds or PODs. OH and having a frother attached and the other features makes it even more fantastic. I'm so glad I chose this Ninja Coffee maker.
I bought this product a few weeks ago and the clean cycle light goes off every 3rd time I brew coffee. I have fully and properly completed the clean cycle 2 times. I'm not sure if I got a lemon product or if this is something others have experienced. While I love the machine, design, and features, I am uncertain of the accuracy of the clean light going off so frequently. I have tried using different settings but the light keeps going off every 3rd time I use it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

There is nothing better than NINJA products. This coffee maker is easy to use and sleek looking. I've given up on keurig machines constantly jamming and breaking and will stick with Ninja in the future
