you’ve got the option to even combine two flavors to craft your own creation.
With some experimentation, I found the fizz and flavor level I liked best.
I tested out eight different flavors, at least one from each category.
I liked some flavors better than others, but overall the drinks were tasty.
The flavored seltzer drops are unsweetened, similar to a La Croix or other sparkling water.
All of the other flavor drops are sweetened with the artificial sweetener sucralose.
The price includes a CO2 tank and four bottles of Ninja Flavored Drops.
The Flavored Drops retail for $6.99 (5.43 / AU$10.64) apiece.
Each bottle yields 17-20 12oz beverages.
Each canister should carbonate about 100 12oz drinks, depending on how carbonated you like your beverages.
It’s not a tiny machine, but it’s reasonably-sized for what it does.
Setting up the Ninja Thirsti Max is easy and takes just a couple of minutes.
The water tank also happens to have a 60L capacity.
It can also be removed if you’re using an extra large cup.
Ninja Thirsti Max: performance
The Ninja Thirsti Max works exactly as Ninja describes.
Choose your beverage size: 6oz, 12oz, 18oz, or 1L.
Choose your carbonation level: none, low, medium, or high.
Place your cup under the nozzle and press start.
The Ninja Thirsti Max will beep when your drink is ready.
The real limitation of the Ninja Thirsti Max is the Flavored Drops.
There are currently more than two dozen zero sugar flavors with more on the way.
There are no flavors with sugar or any other sweeteners in the lineup as of this writing.
I tried all of the Flavored Drops that Ninja sent me to test.
There were four soda flavors: root beer, orange, cola, and Dr Thirsti.
The sodas are new to the Ninja Thirsti lineup.
They all tasted pretty much like the diet sodas they are intended to replicate.
All of the carbonation levels were sufficient, but I liked the highest level the best.
In some cases, I even added extra plain seltzer to cut the sweetness a bit.
If you don’t, you might not enjoy it.
I’m a big sparkling water drinker, and lugging home multi-packs of canned water is a hassle.
I tried adding a favorite powdered drink mix to the plain seltzer I made and that was great.
You could also try adding fruit juice or even wine for a sort of spritzer beverage.
you’ve got the option to always add flavor drops from any other brands.
Should you buy the Ninja Thirsti Max?
The seltzer flavor drops contain no sweeteners.
I guess if you really like those Ninja flavor drops but not the fizz, go for it.
Unlike the Thirsti, it doesn’t add the flavors directly, it just carbonates your water.
Any flavorings are added after the fact.

I tried different fizz levels and different flavor intensities.
Everyone’s tastes are different, though.
