@Luvsmyfam, I can't really say - think they are all made under the domain of one manufacturer at varying cost/reliability levels.  I can say, imho, Cuisinart and Hamilton Beach seem to be pretty good bets.  I usually do a search, e.g., best single-serve coffee makers for 2021.  Best Reviews and others will pop up and by reading their top five and going to A you'll probably get something that works longterm.Woman Wink

@Luvsmyfam,  I recently purchased a single serve from Walmart for $2.  Walmart also lists several other low priced makers.  I bought the Mainstays Single Serve Dual Brew Coffee Maker on recommendation and it certainly meets my needs.

I've had very good luck with Keurigs. And I always register my products. I've read that people who have registered their products and then have a problem are easily able to get replacements.

 

I think I went three years before I needed to descale my coffeemaker. And I have very hard water. The only water I used in mine had been filtered through my Zero pitcher.

My first Keurig lasted many years. My second one, not so much. I replaced it with a Bunn single serve and love it. I also have a regular Bunn coffee maker and it makes great coffee.

@eddyandme   Youre right about the height of the Ninja.  It will fit under my cabinet, but we have to move it out when we use it as the k cup lid flips up.  But, my husband and I were so surprised as to the quality of the machine.  Its very nice.  My Keurig looks rinky dink when compared!

My current (and only) Keurig is 8 years old and still going strong. I LOVE it! I use filtered water in it and it's still working just as well as the day I got it. I've never even had to descale it.
