90-day price history
lowest new price per dayIs the CM401 worth buying at today’s price?
The model’s ordinary price, the level it normally trades at, comes from the maker’s own SharkNinja listing, and right now that listing is out of stock. What is buyable are two marketplace offers priced well above that usual level, so there is no genuine discount here to rush for, and paying the current markup is the thing to avoid. The steady move is to set an alert and wait for the first-party listing to return at its ordinary level, then buy when it does or when a real dip appears; check back here to compare offers and spot an inflated marketplace price when the first-party stock comes back. Our price-tracking method explains how the daily record works.

Four brew styles from a single cup to a 10-cup carafe
The CM401 offers four brew styles including Over Ice and Specialty, across six sizes from a single travel cup to a 10-cup glass carafe, and its fold-away frother turns the Specialty concentrate into a milk drink, all from ordinary ground coffee with a permanent filter and no pods. It suits shoppers who cannot settle on one coffee format: single cups and full carafes, hot and iced, black coffee and milk drinks, from one machine. What it lacks is a delay-brew timer, so there is no pot waiting at a set hour; shoppers weighing other Ninja options can also see the Ninja CE251 and the Ninja Hot and Cold Brewed System. Match the exact model code before comparing prices, since a cheaper listing under a similar name is often a different unit. The permanent basket removes paper cost but wants regular rinsing, and the fold-away frother needs top clearance when raised, so a low cabinet above the counter can rule the machine out before price ever does.
Where to buy the CM401
With the maker’s listing out of stock, the only buyable offers are marketplace sellers at a markup, so weigh that premium carefully using our first-party versus marketplace guide rather than paying it by default.
What to watch on the CM401 price
The most useful signal right now is stock rather than a fresh trend: while the SharkNinja listing is out of stock, the live marketplace offers sit well above where the first-party price normally lands, so a snapshot taken during a stock gap reads higher than the model’s ordinary level. Coffee makers like this hold flat for long stretches and move around retailer promotional events, so watch for the maker’s listing to return to supply near its usual price, and let the chart flag a genuine dip below that level rather than pinning hopes on a date.
A note on the refurbished offer
One of the current marketplace listings is a refurbished unit rather than new, and it is priced above the new marketplace offer, which is unusual and worth pausing on. Before choosing renewed stock to save, read what the grades actually mean in our condition tiers guide. For the rest of the models we track, see the coffee-maker tracker.
