SodaStream - ART Sparkling Water Maker VALUE BUNDLE CQC CO2 system Includes 2x CO2 Cylinders 2x 32 Fl

I use this daily. It works very well and putting the canister in is super simple. The build quality is decent but have had no mechanical failures or anything. It is fairly lightweight and fits easily in a tight space. I would get another if I ever needed a replacement. It is a great product. The only downside is I wish Sodastream had more areas to swap canisters Read more

My best purchase was a countertop water filtration system from Amazon that has optional remineralization of the filtered water. (Stokk T1 Countertop Reverse Osmosis Water Filter. I love it.) I keep the pitcher that comes with it filled and in my frig to make sure the water is cold. I have been drinking my electrolytes in canned seltzer water because I like the bubbles and it makes drinking it more enjoyable. Sometimes I would get flavored water, sometimes just plain. I've been purchasing the store brand because it contains 12 cans per case and it's less expensive. Name brands usually have just 8 cans and cost more. Enter SodaStream! Ta Da! It was on sale for Black Friday so I took advantage of it at my sister's suggestion. My filtered remineralized water is clean and delicious and when carbonated, it makes the cleanest and most delicious sparkling water I have ever tasted. This SodaStream is very easy to use. I unpacked it, read the instructions, registered my unit for warranty, set up the system and made my first liter of fizzy deliciousness in under 30 minutes! Let me tell you how economical my purchase will be. A 12 pack of store brand seltzer water is about 4 liters at a cost of about $4.50. At two cans a day, a 12 pack lasts for 6 days and that comes to about fifteen 12 packs (60 liters) for about $67.50 every 90 days. A cannister of SodaStream CO2 makes approximately 60 liters of bubbly water using the recommend 3 pumps of gas. Right now the cost for a two-pack is $68.99. (I like light carbonation so I do one/two pumps.) The 90 day cost for SodaStream should be about $34.50, if my calculations are correct. And as a bonus, I won't be filling the landfills with empty cans. (My city doesn't recycle.) This alone makes me feel good about my purchase. The flavorings are nice but will add to your cost. My electrolytes come in flavored and unflavored varieties so I will usually opt out of adding more flavoring. I really recommend SodaStream. It's fun, economical and good for our environment! UPDATE: I have been using my SodaStream twice a day since the day I got it and the original CO2 cylinder is still going strong. So far, it's lasted more than two months. I can't imagine living without this machine. It helps me keep on track to take my electrolytes on a regular basis. Thanks SodaStream! Read more

Update: Machine still works great, but when I went to replace the co2, the other tank I received was empty. I try to drink the recommended amount of fluids that my body size would need each day. I tend to stick with water, coffee, tea and the occasional juice. Water gets boring after a while so I started buying sparkling water to mix it up. My sister has one of these machines and I thought it was cool. Plus, more cost effective over time than buying sparkling water at the store. I decided to get one. It arrived quickly and was packaged well. It was simple to set up and the directions were easy to follow when connecting the CO2. I also ordered some flavors. I played around with how much carbonation I wanted and ended up settling on pulling the handle 3 times. I don't drink sparkling water every day so the CO2 cartridges should last me a bit longer than the norm. Setting up an account through SodaStream so I can get refills was easy. I like the water both with and without flavor, although I do like playing around with the 6 flavor set, mixing and matching to see what works and what doesn't. The sleek design makes this easy to place in small spaces and given that it's cordless, makes it even easier. It doesn't take up much counter space, although I did have to watch placement due to height. It will not fit under our cupboards as it is too tall. I'm really enjoying having it and will end up saving money over time. It's a good investment if you like sparkling water. Read more

Does exactly what it says. Carbonates water with ease. Set up simple. Good fizz. I used 5 bursts. Good to know I won’t run out of seltzer. I Like using spring water instead of store bought filtered seltzer . Has all the minerals… a keeper!!!!! Read more

I really like this Sodastream machine. It does take a shot while to figure out how many pulls you need to get the amount of carbonation you like. We also like the throwback look of it. I recommend it to anyone looking for great product that fits well on your kitchen counter. Read more

I have been shopping around for one of these soda makers for a while. I still believe they are way overpriced for what they do and the simple tech behind it, but the more I read, the more doubt and apprehension built up on getting some brand-less product with no real warranty or backing from a company. This one went on a decent sale and I finally gave in. I've had it long enough now to know I am quite satisfied and happy with it. Works flawlessly and I have my soda water on demand, without waste. The cylinder replacements can be pricey but mine has lasted a ton of bottles so far and still going. I usually stay clear of proprietary designs that will not allow aftermarket consumables to be used, like the squeeze-style cylinder collar instead of the screw in type. These cartridges are identical in design across the board, no matter what brand. So when it comes to these, I do like to have choices since this is a constant replacement. I did locate a nice option recently so other than that, this is the perfect all around gadget for me. Read more
