Default Anyone have SodaStream?

What model do you have? Do you like it?

Wal-Mart has two models. I can't tell what the benefits are of the more expensive model. Amazon has several models.

I only want to make sparkling water. I won't be buying any of the syrups.

I have one. This is the model - though I think it's been updated a bit. Super easy to use. I think it comes with plastic bottles but I believe there are glass bottles that can be purchased separately.

Target also sells them so maybe look there to compare prices.

I bought mine off groupon

We have the 2nd generation model, but I keep watching to see if the newer model has a better press in the back as these are prone to break if your kids are rough with them. So far ours has lasted around 2 years. We are due to replace all our bottles soon, and we keep debating the glass bottles but with marble flooring and cement/pvc type flooring in the house with clumsy kids, we're not sure if it's cost effective.

We had one and sold it in a yard sale this spring. We were going through the canisters fairly regularly when we were using it and it was expensive! We did not use the syrups but the local (fancy kitchen) store that we got canisters from kept pushing them on us so that definitely contributed to us not liking it.

I have the 'crystal' one in love it. It is how I get my children to drink water. If I add anything to the water it is juice concentrate. ( I do have a caffeinated drink mix that I will make for me )

Default Re: Anyone have SodaStream?

I saw my old thread and I did buy one, back in 2017 during Cyber Week. I use mine a LOT. I absolutely love it. I love that I can carbonate my own water, not drink mystery carbonated water from whatever muncipal water system where a factory is located, my carbonated water isn't sitting in aluminum cans for who knows how long before I drink it, and it just plain tastes fresher. Plus, less waste and less to carry home from the grocery store.

There is a way to buy the large,restaurant cans of CO2 and fit them to a Soda Stream. My dh said he'd do it. It's been 2 years so I don't think he will.
