You know those notes that companies put in their packaging to encourage us not to return the item, but to contact them first? Here's how that's going.I purchased the Ninja Espresso & Coffee Maker & Barista System on 3/6/25 and it was received the next day (good job Amazon!)I followed the instructions on how to begin using the device, and unfortunately, immediately noticed a leak under the unit. I later found that when the water tank was attached, it would leak. Regardless of whether the unit was on or off - if the tank had water in it and was attached, it would begin leaking.My first thought was return it to Amazon .. but then I thought, you know .. I really like this machine. It makes a good cup .. and I've heard that Ninja's customer service is good, so I'll call the toll free number to get that process going.Customer service was quick and friendly and told me I'd be receiving an email with a FedEx label for returning my leaky unit. A day or two later, the email arrived and I sent it on it's way. That was on 3/19/25. It arrived in CA on 3/27/25.On the initial customer service call, I was told that once my unit had been received, they would be shipping out a new one.On 3/28/25 and after I saw that the package had arrived, I called customer support (who again was very nice) and I asked them to please check on the status of the order, as I'd not seen any updates on their website. The rep I spoke to put me on hold a few times but came back and said they'd spoken to a manager and would expedite the order.It is now 10 days after that contact, and I've still not received my coffee maker or seen an update on the order.It's this kind of 'dropping the ball' that makes people not want to deal with going through customer service .. but just sending it back to Amazon, which I could've easily done.So, if you're looking for a good coffee maker and want to try the Shark Ninja products, be forewarned you may get a leaky coffee maker. And if you do, I cannot recommend that you contact Ninja customer service, but just return it to Amazon - and please note the defect so that it does not enter the market again and cause someone else the frustration.

Got for Christmas and I still love this coffee/expresso maker! Coffee is strong and I thoroughly enjoy making coffee everyday!! Buy it you won’t regret it! I’m trying to give it 5 stars but the computer is glitching
