The coffee maker offers a range of features that appeal to coffee enthusiasts, including a removable water reservoir for easy filling and cleaning, multiple brew strengths, and a warming function that keeps coffee hot. However, many guests have reported issues with durability, with several experiencing leaks and malfunctions within a year of use. While it brews a flavorful cup of coffee, potential buyers should consider the mixed feedback on longevity and reliability before making a decision.

    Great while it works. Do not recommend.

    I loved this machine when it worked, which was just over a year or so. The double beep of death wouldn't go away despite deep clean and descaling. Furthermore, the brewing and cleaning functions took hours to complete the 12 cups of water and water and white vinegar. I bought this on sale in late 2024 for $59.99. It was great but so disappointing and underwhelming that a brand like Ninja turned out to be less durable and resilient than a lesser unknown brand.

    Hello there, Thank you for sharing your review. We’re truly sorry to hear about the difficulties you’ve experienced with your Programmable Coffee brewer. We understand how frustrating it can be when it repeatedly prompts you to complete a cleaning cycle, and the alert sound doesn't stop, even after the process is finished. It’s especially disheartening when cleaning or brewing takes hours, particularly when you’re simply looking forward to enjoying a cup of coffee. This isn't the experience you deserve, and we encourage you to contact us at 1-800-365-0135. We're available Monday through Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. ET and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET. Kind regards, Ninja Kitchen

    Best coffee maker ever!

    Man this coffee maker has been an amazing addition to our morning routine! Super reliable especially when a brew time is set! Ours makes iced coffee and hot coffee, we can also make different size cups of coffee so we don't waste a lot too! It's super quiet and brews some of the best coffee! I'm telling you y'all won't be disappointed when it comes to this :)

    Overpriced brand that doesn't last

    Worked well for 5 years, but then just quit randomly on me. A Mr. Coffee maker with the exact same features costs 1/3 the amount and I've had had ones from that brand last decades. Ninja is not worth the price and I will not buy another.

    Perfect until the carafe shattered

    We tried several styles before finding this. The ability to remove the water reservoir is amazing. The carafe size is excellent for two adult coffee drinkers. This has been the perfect coffee maker until today. Less than one month after the one year warranty expired, the carafe shattered. It wasn't dropped or set down hard, it just shattered. We put in a request for part replacement from Ninja, but we are not hopeful as it says the carafe is sold out and they no longer have this product available on their website.

    Doesn't Last

    I have quite a few Ninja appliances. I purchased this item in good faith, based on the brand's reputation for excellence and reliability. Our unit was a dream at first but started malfunctioning at about the nine-month mark. It just had its "birthday" and it failed completely, which is why I am on the Target app, shopping for a new one. I will not be buying a Ninja.
    1 reply from SharkNinja Product Expert team - 1 month ago
    Hello there, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We understand how frustrating it must be to have a Ninja appliance work beautifully at first, only to begin malfunctioning around the nine‑month mark and then fail completely at the one‑year point, especially when you’ve trusted our brand for many of your kitchen appliances. This definitely isn’t the reliability we want for our customers nor the standard we aim to uphold. If you still have the unit, we’d really appreciate the opportunity to take a closer look and see what happened, as we have out‑of‑warranty options available. Depending on how long you’ve been out of warranty, we may also have additional solutions for you. Our team may be able to troubleshoot the issue or help determine the best next steps to get you taken care of. Please feel free to give us a call at 1‑800‑365‑0135, where one of our product specialists will be more than happy to assist you directly. We're available Monday–Friday, 9 a.m.–9 p.m. ET, and Saturday, 9 a.m.–6 p.m. ET. Kind regards, Ninja Kitchen

    Hi Jay, Thank you for your feedback.

    Carafe leaks when pouring HOT coffee

    Brew quality and overall design are good but the carafe leaks when pouring HOT coffee. Made sure the plastic seam was smooth… pours cold water without leaking but when pouring HOT coffee (or water) it leaks terribly. Going to return and try a replacement.

    Carafe leaks

    I had a Ninja coffee maker for over 9 years that needed to be replaced. We bought this one thinking it was as well made as the other one. We didn’t need all the extra features. The carafe leaks quite a bit of coffee while brewing and pouring. I’ve noticed puddles on my counter when brewing coffee. It’s a shame since we have a lot of ninja products that we love.

    This is the third Ninja Coffee Maker we’ve purchased and they only work properly for about a year. I do not recommend.
