    I bought this to steer myself and my son away from regular pop..it has been amazing. No plugs, no mess, just press and go really. No real clean up and to be honest I love the flavors but I usually just carbonate my water. Not at all disappointed with my purchase. Love love love it.

    Everyone in my family has a Soda Stream and raved about them and gave me a hard time for not having one. I decided to give it a try and love the flavor you can mix in...but my favorite in a splash of juice and carbonated water from the Soda Stream. Easy to use, clean and helps my family cut down on soda/lots of sugar. The only drawback is the expense on refill cartridges, but less than and healthier than buying lots of 2 liter sodas.

    I thought this item was actually fun to use. The soda is really easy to make and the whole system is easy to clean. My only 2 complaints are that it is difficult to find the differences between the model types and also the soda's carbonation didn't last as long as store bought sodas. I only tried it once though, so I have to buy another soda container and try again. Hopefully my opinion will change by then!

    I like the concept of this. Pros: - Add as little or as much syrup as you'd like - Don't have to go to the store to get soda/carbonated water - Love the red color - Doesn't take up too much space - Just use tap water Cons - Takes some getting used to when pushing the lever - Not as carbonated as soda from the store or water

    Easy to use, we always have soda on hand. Sometimes the number of pushes has to be adjusted to get the carbonation right.

    I bought this with a little bit of a skeptical thought, but after using it for a while, it really carbonates the water before adding flavor, and the flavors themselves are pretty good. We use it every night and we don't have to worry about caffeine or excess sugar or anything like that.

    This is a good product, very easy to use with good outcome. It takes Some time to get used to it to find the right dosage on the carbonator but once you get through that it is All fun, just thinking about the amount of waste you avoid. AS well AS the money you save. The flavours are not my think, if you want coke do the real thing, not the dient or other surrogats.

    This thing works great, if you hate going to the store for club soda mixers, you need to buy this. I always have a supply of sparkling soda water to mix with my Bourbon!

    Takes a lot to carbonate water. The generic flavoring sucks. Not too many options for name brand that I've seen.

    This is one of a few I have purchased, now for friends since I have them. I have an obsession for fizzy water and drinks and this delivers! The C02 exchange program is great and each canister lasts forever (as does the drink mix syrup) making it a great value. No more store runs for cocktail mixers or an afternoon fizzy beverage. I drink a lot more water too since I love the taste of carbonated water.

    It is very easy to use and easy to take care of. I got it for $25, I think it was originally at least twice that price. I used it a LOT when I first got it! I have gotten lazy and haven't used it as much, but it's a great product. It comes with a CO2 tank that makes it easy to take home and use right away. It is very user friendly!

    This soda maker is fabulous. It saves me from having to buy sparkling water. It has already paid itself. It gets the job done. If I would've known, I would have bought one long ago!!! Highly Recommended.

    We like the whole setup but the CO2 goes fast. Could be a little cheaper.
