I was so excited to buy this machine shortly after it came out in the summer of 2024. We loved it. Recently it started leaking a brown substance from the bottom. Unfortunately my warranty is expired & the only choice I have is to trash it - and/or invest in a brand new machine. I am heartbroken. This machine is a bit pricey to only last 18 months. Not sure that I want to spend this kind of money on a replacement or any other Ninja products with such a short lifespan.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hi Jax,
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. Feeling excited about a new machine, enjoying it for over a year, and then discovering a brown leak from the bottom, especially once the warranty has expired, can be incredibly disappointing. Investing in a product you loved only to face an issue like this after 18 months is understandably disheartening, and your concerns about longevity and value carry a lot of weight. Feedback like yours is truly important, and it will be passed along to the relevant teams for review.
I got this as an early birthday gift and I absolutely love it. There is a little trial and error with certain recipes, but with the recipe book of tips and tricks and multiple online forums it’s easy to overcome.
I bought this a few weeks ago and I have loved it. I have made so many different drinks in it and it always comes out yummy. It is easy to set up, find a recipe, make a recipe, serve, and clean. It is easy to pour in a pre-made mix, press two buttons, and have a drink ready while doing minimal work.
I bought this this month. It was the best purchase I’ve ever made. Ninja has always been top notch. I would recommend this product and any other product from this brand. Looking forward to making all kinds of freeze drinks year round. Thanks Ninja for a fantastic product!
