When I initially received this product I loved it. Six months end the pod clean light came on so we cleaned the pot as directed. Only to find out the pod part if the machine would not work, what we found out that there was a pin straight up in the button of the pod pit had bent and not puncher the pod so the coffee would flow through, also upon closure looking the pod unit it’s self was cracked, I only used Ninja pods when making my own coffee or store bought pods. So wondering if this is a common issue the Ninja pod part of the coffee pot has. No problem with the carafe part of coffee pot . Was very disappointed cause I loved my Ninja! Any words?

I bought it for its 8-qt size and sous vide ability. It has not disappointed and gone beyond my expectations. Love the sous vide, the steam, and the sauté mode. I also like the bake and the braise modes. I didn’t really buy it for the slow cooker mode, so can’t give an opinion on that. Here is a pic of the sous vide food. I have also done over easy eggs in it.

Perfect
