Frequent clean light error

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
Worked well for awhile but now it randomly sprays coffee grounds out of the top. The FAQ say it's clogged butI don't see any clogs. It just randomly fails.

Purchased for a friend that was having issues with her keurig - best swap ever! Shes obsessed and cant stop talking about how much more flavorful her coffee is & she uses it consistently
I bought this in January and I'm so in love with it. I have the Ninja Brew station coffee pot also but I use that when we have company. I love this one because it's so compact and doesn't take up a lot of space on my coffee bar. I also love that I can brew k cups or my own coffee which is a must for me. My coffee doesn't come in k cups so this was definitely a plus for me, not to mention I love the Ninja product line.
i would give a 0 but it makes me pick a star rating. This coffee maker is the worst. The top does not stay down and causes the pod to leak all over. Even exploding all over the wall. One of the worst made products and I advise anyone looking at it to look elsewhere. I didn't even have this coffee maker 4 months. Do not buy it!!!

I would just love it if I could get a cup of coffee that doesn’t have a ton of grounds in the bottom!!
