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

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.

It is super easy to use, and the drinks it produces are absolutely delicious.... With a very few exceptions. Everything I have made with this is very good, but I really don't have a liking for the 'splash' series. These are very lightly flavored. Some people may like the very light hint of fruit, but not my cup of tea. The rest of the flavors are excellent! The hydration series is delicious and provides electrolytes, the energy tastes great and provides caffeine, and the vitamins series are also delicious and provide variations of vitamin B. The machine is very easy, even for children, to use and select the options they want. I have also experimented with blending the flavors quite a bit and everything is yummy for the most part. I have also made plain carbonated water with this, and added a squeeze flavor from the grocery store and they taste great as well. I have also seen people use other vendor syrups with this machine, and have great results, but the Ninja instructions don't recommend this. Overall, this thing is easy to use, takes little counter space, and can produce sports drinks, energy drinks, mixers, sodas, and fruit drinks for home or on the go. It isn't terribly expensive, and is pretty fun to experiment with. I like it better than the Soda Stream, and other soda making clones out there, and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

I bought two of these one for work and one for home . The one at work Works decent . The mixing chamber will drip a little bit but overall I'm happy with it . The one at home severely drips ! I put a paper towel under it and you can see from the photo what it does . At first I thought it might have been a defective Cola pod but it did it with root beer as well....... original review follows) took a while for Ninja to get into the carbonated water thing . I really like this better than the Sodastream. I'll see in the long run how the syrups will last though. It works with the blue SodaStream bottles as well. So I don't have to buy any new CO2 cartridges. I think the cost is a little higher than the Sodastream but the taste is definitely better and not as sweet. Overall it's a good carbonator.

It works well. Its compact. Easy to install. Easy to clean. I like the various flavors available. There are some gripes I have with it. I feel like the carbonation runs out too early and it doesn't always seem to work like it's supposed to. For instance, i liked the idea of being able to make different levels of carbonation. I was hoping level 1 would be a perrier, level 2 would be like la croix, and level 3 would be an aha / seltzer that delightfully burns my throat as it descends. But sadly it seems like they're all equal levels of aha-level bubbly. To be fair, I bought this solely because I got tired of having tons of cans to recycle often (and reducing the BPA exposure from their linings). I wanted something easy to use with any cup/ container. These expectations have been met. Initially I thought I might save some money long-term too, but I don't believe I have. Overall, it's easy to use, is compact, and minimal effort. I like it. ---------- But for those who are considering this solely to save money... I could never find a good break down of this, so maths time. I love me some sparkling water. I went through about 24x 12oz cans / week of sparkling water (~42 oz/ day or 294 oz/wk) before getting the thirsti. An 8pk is like 4 bucks, so thats $12 / wk for cans. How does this stack against the thirsti costs? First, lets talk about the CO2. A canister costs about $30 at target. It says that it can carbonate up to 60L(~2000 oz), so this should have lasted me ~10 weeks or $3/wk. However, it ran out after 3 weeks of only using carbonation level 2. Since changing the canister, I have been using carbonation level 1, so we'll see if that makes it last longer though I am doubtful as I can't tell a difference. From my experience thus far, the canister alone will continue to cost almost as much per week ($10) as the cans... For argument, let's say that it lasts 6 weeks on carbonation level 1. That's still $5/wk for CO2 alone. Then the flavorings. The flavor drops are about $20/3 or ~$6 for one. One drop bottle will give about 17x 12 oz drinks at most. Mind you, this is if you have a 12 oz cup and only use the lowest intensity of one flavor. You can quadruple the potency. Usually i just mix one serving each of two different flavors into a 12 or 18 oz drink. Using this math, if I'm fully replacing cans with this device, I'm going through about 2 flavor drop bottles per week, conservatively.... which translates to $12/week. Then there's the cost of the device itself. Given that it comes with 8 flavor pods (~$50 value) and a CO2 cannister (~$30), the true one-time cost is about $70. My total recurring costs per week for cans? $12 / wk. Total per week for the thirsti? $11 / wk for an optimistic estimate, $22 / wk for a practical estimate. A middle-road estimate shows that oz per oz, a seltzer by thirsti is more expensive than a seltzer from aha, la croix, waterloo, etc. ---- There are ways to save money which I would recommend exploring. - Flavoring. $6 for a 2.2 Fl Oz ($2.7/oz) bottle of flavor is not great. Stur and Mio have similar flavors, and they are 2.2/oz and 1.8/oz respectively. Generic flavorings can be even cheaper, about $1.5/oz. If I did this, I could reduce my weekly costs from $12 to $6. - CO2. Ninja has a CO2 refill club which allows you to mail in your spent canisters and receive new ones for 30% off. This would drop my weekly cost from $5-10 to $3-7. I could also buy generic compatible CO2 canisters for half the price, though I don't recommend it. You don't want to mess w pressurized gas. If something happens / explodes and you are using a generic CO2 canister, the fault is more likely to be placed on you instead of the manufacturer. Hopefully this helps. Here is a standardized cost estimate from my data above for anyone weighing pricing. Cans: 0.04/oz Thirsti max cost: 0.075/oz Thirsti min cost: 0.057/oz Thirsti w generic flavor: 0.045/oz Thirsti w co2 club: 0.045/oz Thirsti w both changes: 0.038/oz Not really worth the effort for cost savings alone imo

I’ve been using the Ninja Thirsti Drink System since November 2024, and it has quickly become one of my favorite kitchen gadgets. If you enjoy sparkling water or flavored drinks, this system is definitely worth considering. First, it’s incredibly convenient. With the push of a button, I can make fresh sparkling water at home—no more lugging bottles from the store or dealing with plastic waste. The flavor cartridges work really well, delivering just the right amount of taste without being overpowering or artificial. There’s also a decent variety of flavors available, and I like that I can control the intensity of both carbonation and flavor. The CO2 refills are reasonably priced and last a good while, especially if you’re mostly using the system for personal or family use. Over time, I’ve noticed I’m saving both money and time compared to buying cans and bottles regularly. That makes it not just a fun gadget, but a cost-efficient one too. Overall, the Ninja Thirsti is a great option for anyone who wants an easy, eco-friendly way to enjoy sparkling and flavored drinks at home. It delivers on what it promises and fits seamlessly into a modern kitchen routine. Highly recommend!

☆☆☆UPDATE: 03.26.2026. NINJA THIRSTI DRINK SYSTEM. ☆FAILURE☆ ☆AVOID☆ ☆BROKEN☆ ☆DOES NOT WORK☆ One side of the flavor dispensing pod has failed to stop dripping continuously. It drips until the last drop has filled reservoir. It has stopped functioning properly. One side has failed dispensing flavor and drips into the reservoir that catches drips. This also happened last month and we replaced the pod with another wasting an entire pod bottle. ☆☆DO NOT PURCHASE PRODUCT!!!!☆☆ WE ARE OUTSIDE THE ONE MONTH RETURN WINDOW AND WARRANTY IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. ☆☆NO WARRANTY☆☆ 1.28.26. Ninja Thirsti (beginning) PROS: love the ease of use to start up and maintain. Purchased a pod storage that attaches to dispencer. Ordered more flavours. Included pods Cola good for all, Lemonade okay for kids. Takes up little more space for water container on counter, but easy refill capabilities without lifting container to refill, and good sighting for empty/full refill. I don't feel as though I need an extra H2O refill container. The machine's 6oz. selection fills an 8oz. glass full to the top of the glass when the glass is filled full with ice. The 6oz. selection will fill a 12oz. glass almost full with a generous glass of ice. Overall first impressions by all family members was a WOW. Packaging and delivery; perfect and quick. CONS: not sure where to order refill CO2 bottles, CO2 bottles expensive, making family only use 1 dot for bubbles...not knowing how long/many uses per CO2 bottle. I would prefer non-proprietary Ninja CO2 bottles fit the Ninja Thirsti, or better yet, Ninja should refill bottles at market/postage rates instead of a discount that is offered but still expensive. The unit has an ectrical cord but not a deal breaker, however, the electrical socket at the wall is right next to the beverage dispenser. Ha! Not a deal breaker. WISHLIST: I wish my new Ninja Thirsti beverage machine would have come with an advertisement card that displayed all the current flavour pods available, their uses, and ingredients for easy reference. I want electrolytes, my kids like noncaffiene colas, my husband likes CO2 water, and vitamins B drinks are a staple item in our home. I would like to be able to purchase a one time flavour pod kit that has a wider selection from each group of pod enhancements, or be able to select a different flavour of my choice combination from the websiti.

First, don't buy. The system is fiddly and drink syrups selections are few and generic. Not a great system, read more about my experience with a engineered flaw from Ninja. This is going to be bit long winded describing my warranty claim 3 months after purchase, please bear with me. Starts off that my #2 flavor will no longer dispense. I contacted Ninja support. Before they would talk to me I had to take several pictures, give serial number and a number on the plug itself. Fine so far, a bit annoying but whatever. I was then informed that there was a engineered defect in the original model and they are getting an updated version and stock will come in about 2 to 4 weeks and one will be sent. Annoying, but I can still use one side of it. 5 weeks later, send an email. This is where I got truly annoyed. They want me to not only include the numbers I already sent them, but they also want me to cut the cord (very specifically) and take a picture of the unit with the cord cut, write a letter declaring I cut the cord and take a picture of the letter and the remainder cord. Super annoying, but hey they are going to ship me a new unit no cost to me, BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE. I complain about the warranty and they stated again I would get a new system and shipping takes about 2 weeks, BUT, I would have to pay between $10 and $12 for the shipping. This was a KNOWN defect in a product I proved I purchased and still would have to pay shipping. I told them where to stick it and now going to Soda Stream. Never will I buy another Ninja product.

I bought this originally so I could stop drinking diet coke but was a little hesitant. I was a all day long diet coke drinker for years and never again! I dont like the flavors ninja offers, they taste un natural so I opted for just drinking carbonated spring water with fresh lemon. Hands down this combo is way better then any beverage I've tried not to mention its super healthy. I've been losing weight FAST! The trick I found is make sure the water you use is super cold, then I take 2 fresh lemon slices and squeeze them over ice in my glass, then drop them in and then put it in the machine to get the carbonated water. It took a few tries to really perfect it but this combo is awesome. Dont use bottle lemon juice concentrate its not the same and you can really tell a big difference in taste from fresh lemons vs bottled lemon juice. The taste is sorta like homemade fresh lemonade with fizz. Its quite hot here in AZ so I pretty much always have a glass nearby, this is by far a much healthier option and it only costs pennies on the dollar compared to store bought drinks not to mention its hands down better tasting and satisfying then anything you'll buy in the store. Natural always wins!

Me encanta tomar soda y con este sistema me es muy fácil y más saludable.

This was a gift for my boyfriend and he loves it so much. Very easy to set up and use! I highly recommend

Sorprendido con el resultado de burbujas, desde pocas burbujas para servir de inmediato está perfecto, cuenta con 3 niveles de burbujas Me llegó con 2 muestras de sabores son buenos y no contienen azúcar Y para que su funcionamiento sea bueno hay que usar agua muy fría Esto reducirá el gasto de agua mineral en casa

J'adore, facile a utiliser , boissons rafraîchissantes a volonté et même des saveurs variées. Fruit du dragon et autres saveurs disponibles ainsi que la possibilité de faire des mélanges de saveurs.

El producto y la atención del vendedor es excelente solo que mi paquetería lo golpeó y se descompuso , pero el vendedor asegura compras buenas y eficaces ! Todo bien
