• Reviews around cycle (4.56 of 5)

    Ninja Coffee Bar Brewer, Thermal Carafe (CF087)

    • The cleaning cycle is almost impossible to complete (ie make the clean light shut off)
    • This is a nice feature but potentially annoying -- I just ran a clean cycle with descaler as the instructions say but the light is still on
    • And running it through the clean cycle is time-consuming.
    • So we went thru the clean cycle, light stayed on
    • Even after repeated cleaning cycles
    • Now, not only does the clean light stay on after about 36 hours of going through multiple cleaning cycles, but now the machine is flashing the clean light and the display no longer says the time but flashes Cln (for clean).
    • The clean light stays on even after doing a short AND a long clean cycle.
    • They suggest you fill the water dispenser with a cleaning solution or white vinegar and run a cleaning cycle, followed by two cycles with water only to flush the machine.
    • (clean cycle wasn't working)
    • The clean cycle with solution is a total of one hour.
    • I couldn't get the "clean" light to turn off, even after running the clean cycle multiple time
    • I have not had any problems with the cleaning cycles or it not finishing brewing like some of the negative reviews
    • I have descaled 4 times (enhanced clean cycle) and the click display is still reading "cln"
    • So I performed a cleaning cycle (press the clean button), and for the flush, I tried pressing the clean button.
    • I've basically spent an entire Sunday trying to get it to run the clean cycle or even brew a cup to run the rescaler through
    • (clean cycle wasn't working)
    • We went thru the clean cycle about 5 times and clean light still on
    • I don't know if this is due to mineral buildup, but I've had it come on right after running several clean cycles
    • Let the clean cycle run.
    • Unfortunately after only 7 months, after regular cleanings because the "clean" light is always displayed and only using filtered water, the Ninja coffee bar displays the "clean" light and beeps at me when I try to run the clean cycle
    • and I don't use the clean cycle with vinegar or urnex as often as I
    • The cleaning cycle is almost impossible to complete (ie make the clean light shut off)
    • It makes very good coffee but is constantly asking for a cleaning cycle
    • I have particularly hard water and it usually takes me 10-15 clean cycles to get all of the mineral buildup to flush through
    • I ran 8 cleaning cycles through it...light still coming on
    • I now have the exact same problem with the replacement coffee maker and the light will not go off after numerous cleaning cycles
    • got stuck in "clean" cycle and would not come out!
    • I chose to go with the thermal carafe, but It really didn't keep the coffee hot for longer periods of time,l but at least I don't have to worry about breaking a pot
