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.
