This is the second Ninja Coffee maker I've owned, the last one is still good but since I needed one in our RV, I retired the old one and got a new one for the house.  This is designed well and makes sense to use.  I'll start with the water reservior, it is removable so it keeps it nice and clean vs the coffee maker with the reservoir buil into the unit that only gets clean when you do the clean cycle, this removable reservior also makes it easy to add your water and pop it back on to make coffee. This unit also gives you the option of 1 cup or up to 14 cups which really comes in handy if you entertain and you have the option of brew strength and it's programable so when you want your coffee in the morning it's ready to go.  Again this is my second Ninja and honestly I will never buy another brand of coffee maker, they are built to last and if you do have any isses the customer service is great.
