Review Text: Another excellent coffee maker from Ninja. I have been using my Ninja CE201 for five years until I decided to retire it and go with a newer model. My first impression is this Ninja XL 14 cups pro has an entirely different design than its predecessors. I still like the older version for having the control panel on the bottom right side. However, I got used to it after two days of using it. I love the Ninja's simplicity of use; the coffee maker has a removable water reservoir, so there is no pouring mess. In addition, easy to clean as well as no water filter is needed. After I unboxed and wiped it off, the coffee maker was sitting on the counter, surprisingly compact and not taking up much space compared to its predecessors. Lifting and holding the water reservoir is more secure, and water level measurement is printed on both sides of the tank for easy reading. After filling the tank, I immediately pushed the clean button, and the cleaning cycle began. After 15 minutes, the cleaning cycle has been completed. I set the clock, put my favorite coffee, and then push and hold warm to adjust the warming duration. I love that the warming duration is adjustable. The default is 2 hours and can be adjusted to 3 or 4 hours. I changed mine to 4, so I can have my coffee always warm when I need it. Honestly, the temp is precise, and even after 2 hours, the coffee was hot just like it was freshly brewed. The scoop is stored nicely on the lid of the reservoir. The delay option worked tremendously, and my morning coffee was ready for me at the time I had chosen. The refreshing timer option is fantastic as it lets me know how long my coffee has been brewed and warmed. The digital display is well visible at night. The only difference I noticed between my old coffee maker and this model is the weight. I feel the weight has been downgraded because when I put the carafe back, the machine slides around a bit, which I did not like. Great coffee maker. No regret; instead, Ninja products consistently exceed my expectations and do their purpose.
