SodaStream - Plastic Jet Sparkling Water Maker - Red

I tried a carbonater decades ago and at that time they just didn't work well. Decided to give it another go after recently reading positive reviews. This product works very well and totally satisfies my thirst for carbonated water. It is very easy to use and water retains its carbonation. Not sure why the carbonating bottles have a 3-year expiration date on them, but maybe they will develop permanent ones.

This is the 3rd SodaStream machine I have owned. The first one lasted 10 years. The 2nd one is a different model and only uses the smaller capacity carbonators. Fine, but needs replacement cartridges quicker. I bought this one to perfectly replace my original unit. Apparently the factory changed the way they make them about a year ago. It now takes about 10 or so pumps to get the same amount of carbonation that 7 used to (and it still advertises about 7). So I am needing to use more at a higher expense. I am disappointed, although I am happy to still own the machine. It will probably cost me more to drink my soda, but I am saving the environment.

After purchasing and carrying (I live in NYC) tens if not hundreds of soda water bottles home, I decided to purchase a soda stream. This was one of the best decisions to make. This is one of the items that you think you don't need, but once you have it, you don't know what you would do without it. By using it, you're saving money on soda water and saving time by not having to haul bottles home. Additionally, the soda water is just as good if not better than what you buy at the store. You can also add flavors to make low calorie drinks. If you drink sodas or soda water, then this item is for you.

This is a great item I use it every single day but it is not a money-saving machine it is simple to use it is simple to operate the carbonator are easy and simple. You don't save any money because the carbonators are expensive $14.99 and that is just for the refill the soda syrup are about 5 to 7 dollars Hey carbonator if you use it like I do once or twice a day will last you about 28 to 35 days and that is what the operation of three pumps It doesn't save me any money but I do drink less soda since I don't have to buy it I control the sugar and I control how sweet or how much carbonation to put in my drinks so in that case yes it is actually a very awesome product but it doesn't actually save any money every three months or every two months I buy five or six of the syrups instead when I started doing is actually just using the carbonation and buying other sweeteners Such as MIO, crystal light and other syrups that last longer and are much cheaper. Still I love it, cocktails and drinks are awesome. Not for saving money.

We have a SodaStream at home and wanted to get one for our friend to use for their home and at parties. This model was different than the one we have but is very simple to use and works just as well. It comes with plastic cap bottles (the higher models come with metal capped bottles) and some sample syrups and a starter tank of gas. It is a model where the bottle screws in to the base unit rather than locking in otherwise and you simply push on the button at the top to add bubbles. Definitely worth the price if you want sparkling water or sodas at home on demand.

The directions were straight-forward, and the unpacking, cleaning, assembling and soda-making took about ten minutes. I'm probably not going to use the free mix sampler, but I'm happy with the carbonated water available whenever I want.

I wasn't sure about this product, but it intreagued me and delivered on all fronts. If you ever liked a drink but thought, its too fizzy or, this would be good carbinated - this is perfect for you. It's also a cheaper way to have soda vs cans and you get to customize flavors and strength of sweetness. Further, the mixes have little/0 cal's.

I had been wanting one of these machines for over 10 years, back when they used to only be sold in marine stores around here and were called Soda Club. I never wanted to spend the money on one though. Well, Best Buy had them on sale for $60, so I figured they weren't going to get any cheaper than that. The machine itself works great, you can get the water as carbonated as you want it, and it stays carbonated for at least all the next day (maybe longer, but I always drink it all by the next day). This is the value machine. I was looking at the 3 they had at Best Buy, I thought this one was nicer than the one they had for $20 more. The only problem is sometimes it's a pain to screw the bottles on when you carbonate them. This problem is fixed with the machine that's $129.99 in the store, because the bottle just snaps on, but I didn't think it was worth an extra $50. The only complaint I have is that ALL the flavors had half sugar, half sucralose in them. I hate diet drinks. They didn't make them without the sucralose. Finally, they came out with some flavors they call their natural line, and they're made with all sugar, and they taste much better than the normal flavors, but they only have a few flavors in natural. Plus they charge an extra $2 for them, which is kind of annoying.
