Update 9/13/20 Don’t know what the delay issue was, but things have been fine since. No cleaning issues, no false stops. All components are still working great. —- **update 1/3/19** Had the delayed brew all set for a half carafe at 7:30, classic brew. Husband texted that something was wrong when he went downstairs. It looks like it started the pot with the preliminary spray to wet the grounds, but then quit like it was all done. Had maybe 1 Cup of coffee in the bottom. I pressed “classic” again and then it started brewing again as normal. I’m already saying “uh oh” to myself. 😬 ______________ Just bought and started using our Ninja 3 days ago and have used it every day so far. I had some trepidation when deciding to purchase due to the negative comments based on the cleaning indicator coming on too quickly and then too often. I didn’t put much stock into the reviewers who’ve had their product only 1 month or less; the true test will be to see how it’s doing 6 months, 1 year, etc, from now and after I’ve gotten a chance to experience cleaning it. For now, I really do love it. Make sure to measure your cabinets to ensure that the machine will fit under them safely (duh). Some reviewer(s) complained about the steam that comes out from the top and how it ruined their cabinets... you have to pull it out and away from the cabinets when it’s brewing (also duh)! The frothed is super easy to use and clean. The glass carafe feels solid and secure, and also pours out the coffee just fine. Some reviewers complained that it poured slowly (how fast do you want it to pour, man!? Gravity only works so well!). The carafe is also easy to clean and rinse out. The instructions say that you need to brew two full carafes of water first to prime the machine before it’s first use, which I did. It takes about 10 minutes from start to finish for one cycle. Programming for delayed starts is also super simple and intuitive. I’m also enjoying the recipe booklet that comes with the machine. I’ve attached an example of one of the recipes. I’ll definitely update this review once I’ve used it a few more times and experienced cleaning it (which they indicate will take 1 hour as a heads up).
