    Solid product for a good price. Hard to beat half off for bringing in your old one. I'm a heavy soda drinker so this thing gets me by for about a month before losing fizz. Very easy install.

    I love my Sodastream machine. I am saving so much money with the CO2 refill. Not going back to buy sparkling water in the store ever again.

    I like the convenience having carbonated water at home at any time. I also like that I can exchange the carbonator quickly, in minutes. But I am disappointed. My water is never fizzy enough. Based on description of the product it should have enough CO2 for 60 liters. It lasted maybe 30-35.

    Bubbles Galore with the SodaStream

    I've always been a fan of fizzy drinks, but let's face it, buying endless bottles and cans isn't great for the environment or my wallet. That's why I was thrilled to discover the SodaStream CQC Exchange Carbonator in Pink, and let me tell you, it's been a game-changer in my household. First off, let's talk about convenience. The SodaStream Carbonator makes it incredibly easy to whip up sparkling water or soda whenever the mood strikes. With just a few simple steps, I can transform plain tap water into delicious, bubbly goodness in a matter of seconds. Plus, the sleek design looks fantastic on my countertop, adding a pop of color to my kitchen decor. But what really impresses me is the cost-effectiveness of this little machine. Instead of constantly shelling out for single-use bottles and cans, I can simply exchange my empty carbonator for a fresh one at a fraction of the cost. It's not only better for my budget, but it also reduces my carbon footprint, which is something I can feel good about. And let's not forget about flavor options. With SodaStream's wide range of syrups and flavorings, the possibilities are endless. Whether I'm craving classic cola, zesty lemon-lime, or something more exotic, I can customize my drinks to suit my taste buds perfectly. Plus, I love experimenting with different fruit juices and herbs to create unique flavor combinations that you just can't find in stores. Overall, I couldn't be happier with my SodaStream CQC Exchange Carbonator in Pink. It's convenient, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly—a winning combination in my book. If you're looking to reduce waste and enjoy delicious fizzy drinks at home, do yourself a favor and pick one up today. You won't be disappointed!

    So easy to exchange out inside of BestBuy, they are the brand name products so you know you can trust the quality. Works perfectly with my SodaStream every time. Very grateful that BestBuy has these available and that it's so easy to exchange them for the same cost you would exchange them for shipping them back.

    Exchange process wasn’t too painful and it works as it’s intended. Since Pepsi flavors are available now it’s nice (wish Coca Cola was available but doubtful it will ever happen).

    Soda stream is awesome. Turns regular water into expensive tasting fizzy water. Why pay a fortune for bottles of sparkling water and deal with lugging it around and recycling. This allows you to use your own water, tap water works fine for us too .

    Easy to walk in and exchange for new canisters, right at the register. Sometimes, associates are not sure how to do the exchange but usually pretty smooth.

    Carbonator is fine. Staff needs to be trained in how to handle the exchanges. It took a lot longer than necessary for Staff to figure out how to do the exchange, discover where in the store they hide the bottles, find someone that actually knew how to put it into the register and for me to get out the door! I have done it at this location in the past and it seemed surprising that the staff person did not know how to do this as he indicated that he was not a rookie.

    I owned 3 of the old screw-in Sodastream machines (blue cylinders) before going to quick-install/quick-load (pink cylinders). Haven't looked back - the price for the cylinders is the same, and the quick version cuts way back on the aggravation. A 90L cylinder lasts me about a month, and I fizz 1 to 2 liters of water per day. Exchange is the way to go, and Best Buy is convenient and staff is helpful.

    Bestbuy may or may not have refills available. It's hit or miss, but then it's cheaper than buying a new carbonator
