We purchased one of these, Ninja offered a 60-day trial so we thought we'd give it a try. From day one we knew the machine is a keeper. If you order from Ninja, you will get all 8 flavor pods vs buying from other retailers you will only get 4 flavor pods. Once we setup the unit, we were pleasantly surprised at how good all the flavors are and that they are all zero calorie. We did not purchase this unit to save money over buying soda, we purchased the Ninja Thirsti as a healthier alternative to high calorie soda that also contains many more chemicals. You can save money by exchanging the CO2 canisters, by my calculation, the cost is roughly the same as buying brand name soda in bulk. We found the amount if fizz is more than enough on the lowest CO2 setting so that should make the 60L cartridges last longer. So far we tend to run the flavor pod at the higher level so possibly those may not last 100 drinks as advertised, but probably long enough. The colder the water, the better the fizz, the machine infuses the CO2 for several seconds which makes up most of the wait time, but it's really not long at all and you get a fresh, fizzy drink. If you want to save money on the CO2, there are many YT videos on how to save money on refilling your own CO2 cartridges but you cannot beat the convenience of just changing out the cartridges and if you do the CO2 exchange it works out closer to $15-$17 per CO2 cartridge but overall, not that much more expensive per ounce than soda and you get much more variety. Bottom line, the flavors are extremely good, the system is easy to use, and the cost is reasonable. We also like not having to lug cans of soda home from the store and not filling up our recycle bin with aluminum cans. At 16" high it will fit under our cabinetry that also has under cabinet lighting and molding.
What a great comment! Couldn't agree more with those points. Thanks for watching! - J
@@TheAverageKitchen💀💀💀
Thanks for the great review! Simple and to the point. Just some more general info:
- the machine price lowered in Canada to $249.99. And on Ninja webpage there is often a 20% off coupon. So you can easily get it on sale or with coupon for $199CAD (assuming u find it in stock)
- the CO2 canisters can be replaced with any generic twist-on ones at any exchange program. So can use a local or regional program for more savings. I use a local company and pay $12.50CAD per exchange refill bottle, and includes free delivery to my home
- ninja flavours are good, but they are mainly fruit/juice flavours. However any of the sodastream sryups work on this, just choose no flavour, and then put 1.5tbsp of coke sryup (or any flavour) in. Tastes like regular soda. Also, the ninja pods lids come off easily, and you can put ANY of those water enhancer small bottle liquids (which are around 50ml) they all use around a 3ml dose per 355ml. Pour them into an empty white lid bottle which also does a 3ml dose. The blue lid bottles do 3.6ml dose for 355ml liquid on 1 star level. Over all hundreds of 3rd party flavours with these, and still automatically mixed (koolaid, country lemonade, crush brand) are a few i've used. And sodastream sryups have tons of name brand pop flavours (add 1.5tbsp syrup urself, cant reuse ninja pods for these).
Overall just wanna say, you are NOT locked down to ninja branded co2 or flavours. As you said in the review, the height doesnt fit under my cabinets too with my lighting, which is a downside. But placing it on the counter next to ur fridge, as far back as u can. And getting a little basket to hold pod flavours and put it in the space behind the machine might be a good compromise in ur kitchen.
Wow thanks for that amazing comment. Tonnes of useful info there! - J
I just purchased this today. At Costco. Came with 12 flavors and an extra tank for water. $129.00 so far so good.
Great deal! Marc
I use cold Culligan filtered water with mine. I only follow the expiry on actual containers. No issues for me.
Great tip. Thanks ! Marc
Hi Mark, I'm Dennis Daniels from Cleveland, Ohio! Thanks for sharing your video about your review of the ninja thirsti system! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much for watching! - J
Hopefully, the price will come down as more are purchased.
Always enjoy your videos, Marc & Jamie!!!
Agreed! Especially for the consumables. Thanks so much!! - J
Hi from Toronto, Canada! New to your channel. Really love it! Has helped me greatly with some of my purchases.
Keep up the great work!
Cheers!
Thanks so much! 🇨🇦 - J
Excellent review! We do not drink a lot of pop….but I think this would be great as a treat!
👍🏼👍🏼
On average, 12oz X 100 per $60 worth of cylinders would be cheaper than 1200oz soda in the US via cans/bottles of premium soda.
Fair enough! Although you also have to account for the cost of the flavour cartridges. Thanks for watching! - J
Hi, Charlotte NC. love your product demos.
Thanks so much !! Love the Carolinas. Jamie , myself and a bunch of buddies go to Myrtle Beach golfing every April ! Marc
Keep in mind you can hack those flavors cartridges to hold any flavor too, imagine you make your own flavor syrups, you could put them in the flavor cartridges and other people could enjoy something you came up with easily.
Love that idea ! Marc
Unfortunate that the only options are unsweetened or artificially sweetened. I was initially interested in checking this out but the artificial sweetener is a no-go for me and unlike the sodastream you can't even use any other syrups besides what Ninja markets.
Great point! We'll have to check out a SodaStream. - J
My friends bought one of these...its so expensive. The C02 replacements are crazy expensive, the drinks are insanely expensive. Soda Stream is way way way better value for money. I've had the same Sodastream for 7 years and hooked it up to a refillable 5 gallon co2 container. Costs $21 usd to refill every 6-7 months. Soda stream drinks are always on sale, you can often get their drinks for 1/2 half off a lot of times. I just ordered directly from their website and Pepsi Zero was only 4.99 on sale. My friends figure every drink costs them about 50-70 cents (not including the cost of the machine). My soda stream is about 10-15 cents per drink.
I totally agree !! Marc
Dead wrong. None of us use our sodastream as it’s a huge pain to make a bottle of it. Also, it always makes a mess. Thirsti is the best.
That was a great video. That’s expensive though for making drinks.
It's a premium product for sure. Thanks so much! - J
@TheAverageKitchen can you do a video on the breville air fryer toaster oven pro? Thank you Hazel
We'll see what we can do! - J
@hazelstalker we will add it to our list !! Marc
I just bought mine at Costco and it came with 12 flavors and two canisters. It was $159.
Good deal! - J
Can you use the Amata water enhancer In the Ninja thirsti machine?
I don't believe so. The Ninja pods are a specific size and shape. - J
I’m curious if the flavors taste fake or if they taste like actual fruit. You mentioned one tastes like an orange tic tac. I would prefer it taste like fruit instead of candy
I wouldn't say they taste like actual fruit juice. - J
What kitchen gadget will they invent next!?!?
We can't wait to see! - J
Can you use it with no flavor pod?
Absolutely!
This co2 bottles are standard. You can search somewhere else to buy it cheaper
Fair enough! Still consumable though. Thanks for watching! - J
so at max cabrination you probably get like 60 drinks out of a C02? This would be expensive with how much I drink. The pods say they make 17 drinks, that's gotta be on the lowest flavor, and I'm assuming 6oz. So high flavor in 18oz might be only 4 drinks? What about 24oz, which is what I'd drink lol. I randomly tried to do the math in my head, but this could be like $3 for a 12oz with max everything which is insanity. And if it's 17 drinks for 6oz low taste, 24oz strong drinks with full carbonation would be like $5? I'd go broke.
I hope this product becomes popular enough for companies to release much cheaper 3rd party flavor pods. And I'm assuming people will figure out how to refill the C02s themselves for dirt cheap like they did with the Soda Stream. With both of those things I'd love to have one.
Thanks for the insight and break down. I would assume this product will eventually drop down in price. Marc
Did you try it with warmer water?
Yes and Ninja is right, it isn't quite as good. Still comes out with fizz but colder is better. Thanks for watching! - J
Yeah, it loses the Fizz by 50 percent...
That sounds about right. - J
I like the concept, but it's a trap! You're tied to Ninja not only for the flavour/soda refills, but also for the CO2 cylinders. Great marketing, but I would have a tendency to push that towards the "Scam" pile, notwithstanding the quality of the drinks. Great review, thanks!
You're totally right about being tied to Ninja with this! Although, if you love Coke or Pepsi, you're tied to them too lol. Thanks for watching! - J
@@TheAverageKitchen Thank you! I've just watched another video in which I learned that Sodastream gas cylinders (cheaper and easier to source) are compatible but as Sodastream has (had?) its production in the Occupied Territories that's a "No" from me... Also the flavour packs seem to be reuseable/refillable with the flavours of your choice, but concentrations would vary, so it would be hit-and-miss. Apparently the thing also "reads" the colours of the lids and allegedly adjusts amount dispensed accordingly, so all in all a bit of a headache... Oh, might also check whether the gizmo is available in Europe at all!
EDIT Not available in Europe, at least not from the German website of the South American river outfit. One less decision for me to make!
over priced, and the refills are too expensive
That's a fair take! Thanks for watching. - J
SodaStream is better
Could be! Haven't tried it. Thanks for watching! - J
All of the flavors suck, don't get it if you're expecting to make soda
I couldn't disagree more. While you're right about there not being a "cola" flavour, the flavours are great! - J
I can exchange my co2 canister at walmart, target, etc., for $15, and if I really drank a lot of carbonated beverages, I could get a large co2 tank from a gas exchange store and use it to refill the co2 canister for much less. You could even go the dry-ice route.
Fair enough! Still some steps to take and extra cost. Everyone will have a different tolerance for that. Thanks for watching! - J
