I love this machine. I love the fact I can add my own amount of carbonation to our drinks. They are coming out with some natural flavors that I am excited about. I am a big fan of soda Stream and have done a review on them.

I purchased the soda stream in October of 2010, almost a year ago. It was easy to assemble, but it did take some trying to get the right amount of syrup into the soda stream. It doesn't take up a lot of space, and if you purchase more than 2 of the plastic bottles it comes with each family member can make up their own flavors. We have tried root beer, lemon lime, cola, orange, and ginger ale. We liked all but the lemon lime. That flavor just never tasted right, but the others were good. We especially liked the ginger ale. We also liked the idea that we could use it as part of our food storage. We want our family to eat as normally as possible in the event that we would have to live off our food storage, and this is a way for us to store drinks for our family to enjoy without taking up a lot of space. We love our soda stream, and with the price of soda going up everyday it just makes more sense.

I have had a soda stream for several years. The flavors are fantastic! I love the fact that the diet sodas use splenda as their sweetner. You can mix your own flavors and they are great with some juice and just carbonated water. Make your own is a great way to save money AND stop filling the landfills with trash!

This is our favorite thing we have purchased in quite a while. My husband and I drink different types of sodas and storing several 12 packs or 2 liter bottles took up lots of refrigerator space. This product is great b/c you can keep lots of flavors around for friends/family without taking up much storage space. Also, you can adjust how much carbonation based on your preference. It makes great sparkling water with or without some added flavors that you can buy - these last a long time. We have given the SodaStream to several relatives and friends and everyone loves it! The sodas (even non-diet) are much healthier than can or bottle sodas and they taste so much better.

I absolutely love this product! We make flavored water and soda every day. And it is so easy to use, my kids can do it too! It saves so much money and is great for the environment. I highly recommend the SodaStream.

This is the best product. I purchased it for my mother for her birthday. When we lived in NY we used to have seltzer delivered to the house, old school style in the glass bottles. When we moved to florida we were unable to find this service, so my mom started buying bottles from the supermarket. She always said it tasted different, but it was fine. She would go through one or two bottles a day. Then I got her the sodastream. She loves it, she is able to make her seltzer as bubbly as she wants. And it is so much cheaper than all the bottles. Plus it's better for the environment! My husband loved it so much I had to buy him one too!

I first encountered SodaStream at a family event. We made our own soda. How cool is that?!?!?! The taste was so fresh, so great! Not to be one-upped by my sister, I had to have my own. We use it all the time. Not only is the cola the best I have ever tasted, but the other flavors are great, too. The flavors DO NOT CONTAIN high fructose corn syrup and the diet flavors DO NOT COTAIN aspartame. What a healthy plus! I like being able to make healthy drinks for the kids, too. We make sparkling apple and grape juice. Yum!

I tried one of these at Sam's Club and put it on my wish list! I am not a huge soda drinker, but the idea of making sparkling juice drinks with my daughter is wonderful! I love it because it can be used to make sodas that are similar to what is at the store or personalized drinks at home! It is a great alternative for folks who want something healthy to drink! I can control the sugar. Since we don't have recycling services here, I also know that I'm not tossing as much plastic in the trash!

I purchased our SodaStream when the product was first available to buy and I have simply NEVER regretted my purchase. Before buying our SodaStream we were spending a ridiculous amount of money each week on sodas we purchased from the store. It was a horrible waste of money and bad for the environment. Since we purchased our SodaStream we have not spent one penny on overpriced sodas of any variety. We make plain sparkling water, ginger ale, diet cola, root beer--you name it. And, it tastes BETTER than the name brand sodas we were spending our money on. We love our SodaStream so much we encouraged a handful of our friends to buy a sodastream fountain maker too! Too bad we didn't get in on a referral program for this product!

It is easy to use and much healthier than bottled soda. Fun for the kids also.

I love this thing .

My husband and I are huge fans of sparking water and have spent a small fortune on bottle after bottle over the years. When I discovered the Soda Stream Carbonater, I knew it would be an instant hit. We have had ours for 3 years and use it nearly every day, making everything from root beer to spritzers to classic but simple sparkling water with lemon. It is so convenient and simple to use, and I love that the water stays fresh in the sealable carafes - no more wastage! We use every drop. This gadget is truly one of the best kitchen investments we have made. I highly recommend it!

I, too purchased it last year for my husband at Christmas...never regretted it. My daughter calls it "home-made sparklies" for the sparking water - and she's just 2. Agree that some of the flavors take a bit getting used to - but not having to lug home all those bottles of soda from the grocery store is well worth it.

Our family loves sparkling water but I didn't like the amount of plastic bottles we were using to quench our thirst. A friend told me about SodaStream and our family was immediately hooked. It is so easy to use, takes up minimal space, and the carbonated water is better than what we were buying in bulk. The best part is that we are no longer using so many plastic bottles. I would highly recommend this product.

This is one of the best purchases I have made in the last couple of years. Being a fan of sparkling water, I would buy so many 2 liter bottles at the store. I would also purchase lots of the canned seltzer or club soda at the local grocery store and it could get costly and it was also heavy to carry. Now that I make my own soda, all I need is water and my carbonator. I probably drink at least a half of gallon of sparkling water a day, so this is a godsend. The soda maker uses 1 liter bottles, so I keep 4 on hand so that I always have cold, sparkling water. I also make different flavored sodas for the family. There are so many flavors to choose from and everybody likes them. This product is environmentally friendly, since there are no bottles or cans to toss, and it is cheaper to make your own soda, rather than buy it. I LOVE this machine and will always keep one on hand. It's also user friendly, so anyone can use it.
