Ninja Thirsti™ Sparkling Still Drink System, 3.0

I was given this upgrade from my old system. Compared to the other this one is so fast. They definitely improved it. And bigger cartridges soon? Heck ya. I loved my old model I’m so grateful to have received this one.

I received this machine as a test product. I’ve given it a 3 star due to this machine has many flaws. 1. This machine has 4 foot pads on the bottom not placed well, which makes this machine wobble on a flat surface. 2. The water Reservoir will leak the water out from the bottom after a couple minutes of being placed on the machine. 3. the system is much louder than the first system we have. 4. This machine needs a dust cap to put over the pod holder when the machine is not in use. 5. Was not impressed with the drip tray mechanism. 6. I did not like that this machine only has 2 sizes, I like using the 6 oz for making my cocktails. I am glad this was a test item and did not pay for this product. So I will say 1. this machine does make a better more consistent soda than the first thirsti. 2. I like how this machines water reservoir clicks into place better than the original thirsti. 3. I like that the pods are inserted from the top.

I absolutely love my Ninja Drink System! It’s amazing how many different flavors and drink variations I can make without needing a ton of storage space. The zero-sugar sodas are fantastic, and the flavored teas have quickly become a daily favorite. Everything tastes fresh, customizable, and so convenient. It’s been a fun (and healthier) upgrade to my drink routine. Highly recommend!

I got this model as a replacement for an older model through the warranty. Overall it is definitely an upgrade. It dispenses a lot faster for making carbonated and non carbonated drinks. I like the water reservoir better too, it "clicks" into place and doesnt waddle around when the tank gets low. The only downsides I have are not being able to dispense 6 & 18 ounce drinks, it only does 12 and 24. Having the other options is nice when trying new flavors and if your water bottle holds like 42 ounces, no real way around just filling it to 36. Also the reservoir holds the same amount of water, but for some reason the machine wont take out the bottom like 2-4 ounces so it registers as no more water and will stop the drink from finishing. Then you have to add more water and let it drain. So if you're making a 24 ounce drink it'll dispense 12 ounces fine and then stop almost all of the way through the last 12 ounces. You'll have to get a new cup to "drain" the water and make another 12 ounces again. It's really just more annoying than anything, especially when you do in fact have enough water for the drink.

This was an upgrade for me, moving from the older model. I like that this model uses the same pods and CO2 canisters, so I wasn't forced into buying new everything to go with the new machine. I will say, I miss having the option to make 6oz and 18oz drinks WAY more than I thought I would. (Size options are only 12oz and 24oz.) Other than that, it's a great machine.
