Ninja Thirsti Drink System, Soda Maker, Create Unique Sparkling & Still Drinks, Personalize Size & Flavor, Carbonated Water Machine, 60L CO2 Cylinder & Variety of Flavored Water Drops, Black WC1001

Our house has almost exclusively Ninja products. If there’s a product we want and Ninja makes a model, we will spend the money to get theirs.Overall the design is nice, easy to use, and sturdy plastic. The container holds about 48 ounces of water, which is more than enough to fill out Ninja Thirsti bottles. The carbonation bottle that this unit came with was full and lasted longer than the expected amount. Super simple controls and the stickers on the unit are very helpful, especially if you lose the manual. My wife finds that level 2 carbonation taste and feels about the same as the highest level, which is level 3.We don’t use the flavor packs very much.

I've been totally happy with my purchase. I've had it a few months, and the low CO2 warning just recently came on. It's in regular use by 3 people. My 12-year old probably uses it the most. It was a big hit while entertaining over the holidays! I ordered replacement canisters through Ninja on January 14th, just a couple of days after the warning light came on. They arrived the 19th. It's now the 30th, and I still haven't needed to put in a new canister. The lowest carbonation setting is just fine for me. My sample flavor pack had two vitamin flavors, one energy (caffeinated), and one hydrate with electrolytes. All are sweetened with sucralose, which I dislike. I wish it had included at least one unsweetened option. I don't think I'll be purchasing the Thirsti brand flavor cartridges. They're convenient, but I don't think they're worth the cost. The great thing about the home machine is you can truly customize. Maybe you want to get away from sugary drinks, but you're not on the soda water bandwagon. You can mix your carbonated water into fruit juice or soda to start acclimating to less sugar. It's also simple to purchase any brand of flavor drops to mix into your drink, and if you want sweetener you can use any kind and amount you like! I don't even bother with the flavoring most of the time. Just the carbonation is good enough for me! We were constantly buying bottles and cans of soda water for our household. It was taking up a lot space! I love having this machine instead. I've even reused disposable empties to take my "fizzy water" on the go. It's easy to position even a narrow bottle opening under the dispensing spout. Using cold water is recommended. The reservoir comes with a cold water indicator, which I eventually removed. It didn't seem like it was turning as blue after a couple months of use. I deemed it unnecessary anyway, and possibly a place for bacteria to grow. You can store the water reservoir in the fridge, but I don't because my refrigerator already has a water pitcher spot. Using ice works great, too.

This is one of the best designs I’ve ever come across. Carbonation is adjustable as is the flavor and even mixable! Fits on your counter without taking a ton of room. Quality is above expectations! Great product!!!

I used to own a sodastream but didn't like their bottles and adding flavors was messy. This thing solves both of those problems. I keep my reservoir in the fridge and refill it from the Britta when empty. I make 8-12 24oz bottles per day. It takes a about 2 minutes to fill my 24oz bottle, which I don't mind. I like that I'm not buying cans at the store anymore.The included carbonation tank does not last long. I emptied it in 5 days. I bought an adapter hose and run it directly off a 10lb CO2 tank now. Works like a charm, and I get around 4 months of use before needing a refill.The flavor pods are a bit pricy and not always in stock, however I discovered it's very easy to open the pods up and refill them. I now order flavors from a local company for around $1 per oz rather than the $3-4 per oz that Ninja charges for their flavors.Overall, I'd buy this again. If you drink a ton of sparkling water like I do, the costs will add up unless you're willing to go a bit DIY and step outside of Ninjas offerings.

Got it for my wife and my self. Was trying to quit Energy drinks but needed something make for it. Decided to give it a go during Black Friday sale.I have to say the machine works great, still using it almost daily till this day. Great replacement for coffee when I need cold drinks with caffeine. We tried a couple different flavors now and after testing and experimenting with different flavors it’s really been a great purchase.Just need to make sure the water is cold when making drinks to make them extra bubbly I normally get one flavor that comes with caffeine and mix it with another flavor such as lemonade and make nice cool Sri is for dinner times or when any guests are over. It’s a great way to make mixed drinks for our friends and family and for just the two of us.Would highly recommend it if you like trying out new drinks and not spending the money at Starbucks or other stores. It’s extremely easy to just do it your self!

Well made, easy to use, a very intelligent design like all the other Ninja products I own. Some of the flavour pods have an aftertaste, especially the orange flavours… A big improvement from the previous Sodastream !!!

Love the machine
