   Absolutely love this machine! The bubbles are consistent and we really enjoy the kiwi-strawberry flavor the most. It’s super simple to use and always delivers a great fizzy beverage. Our Co2 is low hence why our light for the bubbles was orange. It’s giving us a warning that it will need to be replaced soon. We use it so much. I love how the tray is adjustable for tall cups or short cups. We use different sizes of mason jars and add ice afterwards. There is ice inside the water dispenser as well. Our kids and grandkids absolutely love this too. Definitely recommend this!

   Bought this for my husband for his birthday and so far he loves it. It works well and is easy to learn and the flavors so far have been good. He really likes the flexibility of being able to use whatever cup he wants and how carbonated to make it as well as how many ounces to pour.

   This model works, the best easy to pour the water in and the ice stamper is very useful. The only thing is the lemon flavoring has no flavor at all whatsoever. I tried three packs and it never works good all the other flavors work well
   The carbonation works very well and is built for quality easy to rinse after you just play with the buttons

   It works, just not as well as I would’ve hoped. My first try, noticed the processes was loud. First 8oz production produced a week flavor form the Cola pod. That setup was with highest fizz level and flavor level. Thought maybe too much fizz the first time around so I tried it again with the fizz at level one. Made no difference to tast. All the different ways I tried it, I couldn’t get any decent flavor out of this thing. The only thing I could do to get any serious flavor was adding in some flavor after the drink process was done. A little vinela blanced the cola out very nicely. Really a shame this product couldn’t live up to it’s marketing. Until they get a better flavor profile up and running, I will not be recommending this produc to anyone.
   

5. Summer Verified Buyer – 15 December 2024

   Overall, I am happy with this product and the taste and carbonation level of the drinks being produced by this device. I am worried about the additional costs that will incur with continued use of this product – additional CO₂ cylinders, CO₂ refills and flavor drops. That being said, you get everything you need to start making refreshing water drinks with this Ninja Thirsti Max Custom Hydration System. It comes with the unit, 1 60L CO₂ cylinder and 4 flavored water drops. My included flavor drops – Lemonade – Vitamins, Peach Mango – Energy/caffeine, Strawberry Kiwi – Hydrate/electrolytes, Dark Cherry – Splash. With this system you can easily customize your drink. You can choose between still or 3 levels of carbonized water. You can choice 4 water amounts – 6 oz, 12 oz, 18 oz or 1 liter. You can choose level of flavor intensity – 1or 2 per flavor. The unit hold 2 flavors at a time, so you can mix flavors and really customize your drink. All the flavor drops are zero calories. You don’t need to add any flavor and just have plain bubbly water. The bubble button turns orange when you are running low on CO₂. The unit is easy to put together. The 60L CO₂ Cylinder is easy to install. The drink drops are easy to install and switch out for different flavors. The unit does need to be plugged in and it does take up counter space. I found the water reservoir easy to fill with my refrigerator’s filtered water & ice dispenser. They do advise that the carbonation works best with cold water and there is a colored gauge at the bottom of the water reservoir for you to tell when the water is cold enough. The water reservoir is easy to take off and put back on. I have been taking mine off at night and keeping it cold in my refrigerator. The unit comes with a clearly written, easy to understand manual. Some of my thoughts and hesitations over this unit. You probably need to buy extra 60L CO₂ cylinders since they want 2 empty cylinders if you intend to join the mail in refill program. I am having a hard time finding out how much a refill is. It does look like there are a few options on refill services, so research is needed. I am not sure if my local stores sell flavor drops or will I always need to order these from Ninja or ninjaoutlets.com. Can I only use Ninja brand flavor drops or will other brands work in this machine (I don’t think so.) I do like that this reduces my use of cans and plastic bottles. Additional CO₂ cylinders are an extra expense I did not think about. Refilling CO₂ cylinders is something to figure out and consider – where and how are you going to do this. Convenience of counter top device is nice. My financial savvy husband thinks this is not really money saving, especially if you are someone who shops for deals on sodas and bubble waters.

   

6. Greg Verified Buyer – 1 January 2025

   This unit does exactly what it’s supposed to. It will make carbonated or still drinks. The biggest drawback is the flavors. They have a significant aftertaste that is not very good. I’ve started using other drink flavored drops and just mix them into the carbonation after the unit dispenses.

   There are a couple of different models. The base units require ice added to be added to the water or refrigeration in order to achieve the proper temperature for most efficient carbonation. The newer max model has its own cooling mechanism. There are also two levels of “fizz”, and you can add one flavor, mix two flavors, or add nothing during the pour. The unit also has different settings for the ounces of drink you desire.

   Overall, it’s a good unit and fun to use. It would make a great gift for a college student or for the kids to get them to drink more water. Good value for the price.

   We drink way more water now, I hate plain water but know I need to drink it, and the flavors are great! They have a subscription system for the co2 cartridges but we ended up buying a big personal tank to refill them from. However you get your co2, this thing is great. We are debating getting a second one for upstairs.
   

8. AZ Travels Verified Buyer – 15 February 2025

   I made a delicious lemon soda using a popular lemonade powder and this sparkling water maker from Ninja. I put a measure of powdered lemonade in my glass, with just enough water to moisten the powder. Then I programmed the machine to dispense 12 oz. of sparkling water, the machine produces 6 oz. at a time, stops and then produces another 6 oz. There is a cold water indicator in the water carrier that turns blue when the water is cold enough for the best bubbles. Familiar with the brand, I am confident it will continue to perform well. I won’t use the included artificial sweeteners flavor bottles.

   We love this machine and hopefully will not be buying store bought soda ever again, we purchased the glass storage bottles from ninjaoutlets.com and make drinks a week ahead and place in refrigerator then grab a bottle before work to go in the lunch bags. My fav so far is a combo coke soda with a hint of cherry spritzer and the orange with the peach mango still or soda form. All kinds of different combos or stick to the individual flavor, I saw someone complaining about it dispensing only 6 oz at a time but this is perfect for dispensing into a bottle as it stops the spill over of bubbles. Not an issue at all. The only issue of dispensing direct to the bottle you can only add 12 oz the make an extra 6 oz individual into a 1 cup jug and add 4 oz of it to the bottle to fill, the bottles only hold 16 oz, but not an issue as I just drink the remaining 2 oz as it’s mo sugar and no cal to worry about 🤣

    Me and my kids love the machine. Super easy to use and to clean. Not big so it doesn’t take too much space. The cartridges and C02 go along ways so it’s worth the money.

    WOW!!!THIS THING IS GREAT!
    We’re saving so much money on this thing instead of buying from the store. It’s even better carbonation than I thought. Well worth the money and you’ll love it.
