Get single use plastic out of your life
After reading such diverse reviews I was sceptical. I grew up with Sodastream and do like fizz in my water. What I don’t like is single use plastic, so wanted to give this a try. First attempt, water everywhere . Second attempt I pulled the clear plastic piece out properly, engaged the bottle in its correct place and the rest is sweet love, as Swiss Tony would say . Works very well indeed and highly recommended.

Great produc
Have used it now for almost a month and love it. Very easy to use. Love strong sparkling water and it hasn’t disappointed me.

Sparkling water easily available
I use it only for pure sparkling water. Not very easy to use but fine if pressed hard.

Does what it says on the TIN
Note, once fizzed, do not attempt to force the bottle off, wait until it falls into your hand (Pull bottle towards you first. Also use SodaStream refill service, refills around 12 each

I bought this as a gift. Great product if you like sparkling water. Easy to use and stylish.

Brilliant Soda stream
I got fed up carting caseloads of Diet Coke up 4 flights of stairs. So opted for Soda stream. Love drinking carbonated water – as good as bottled mineral. I am truly delighted and impressed with swift delivery. Signed up to Soda Stream website to get gas cartons and also kombucha flavouring. So happy.
It took me two goes before I realised you had to place the bottle close up when gassing to maximise fizz.
Buy and enjoy too.

Finally, a solution for diabetics
Have been struggling with water and the lack of fizzy drinks. This has helped me get off fizzy drinks! I just use it for the sparkling water element then add natural flavours like a squeeze of lemon and lime no artificial stuff. Didn’t like thier syrups, tasted awful!

Well made and easy to use.
Excellent, well made product. Slimline on the worktop in the kitchen and doesn’t take up much room. Need 3 pumps for great fizz, but if you don’t hold down The button for the full 2 seconds and wait for the fizz then a small noise like a release of air, then it won’t be very fizzy it will just be flat and taste of carbonated water.
I would recommend this soda stream.

As expected
Received as a Christmas present and it’s great. Gas doesn’t last as long as I’d hoped but certainly reduces the plastic bottles I buy

Buy one now!
Brilliant. I used to buy a lot of bottle carbonated water, and there was a lot of plastic bottles being wasted. This is worth every penny.

I like it but..
It takes time to work out how to use it… wait for the noise..wait for the bubbles to stop then press again… use cold water. Need at least 5 presses.. great 4 less plastic use if you are a soda water drinker but money wise its cheaper to buy bottles at 49p each.. 71 for soda stream 12 New gas bottle.

Not as much fizz as advertised
Water is ok, have to press much more than the directions to get “fizz” so canister has not lasted that long. Will persevere with it tho as we bought it to reduce plastic usage primarily. Causes a strong vacuum seal within the unit which then pops out quite violently, have spilt water on many occasions. My adult son has a stronger grip and doesn’t seem to have this problem, so it’s now his job to make the bubbles, as I am fed up of the clean up!!!!

Excellent sparkling water and reduced plastic waste.
Bought this yesterday as I drink a lot of sparkling water and became bothered by wasting so much plastic.

It’s very easy to assemble. As some have said the back is quite flimsy but it holds together fine. My first attempt to fizz was hysterical I had water fountains going everywhere (the picture instructions aren’t the best) but I viewed a brilliant YouTube video and took her tips onboard. I realised I’d not pulled the tab forward before inserting the bottle which secures it in place. Rookie error.

Since then I’ve had great success. Top tip was to let the water settle a bit after each blast of gas. I like it very fizzy so do 6 blasts. THEN LEAVE IT for a minute or so to settle before taking it out of the soda stream device. Perfect sparkling water that maintains its fizz.

Also bought two empty bottles as part of the deal which I highly recommend as you can have them chilling in the fridge. I’m delighted with it. Wish I’d bought one sooner.

I tell it I love it every time I use i
The first item sent was not fit for purpose. I spoke to Soda Stream and they recommended that I sent it back to Amazon. I sent a note to Amazon and they dispatched a new product the same day. The new machine is amazing. I can decide how much fizz I want and it works perfectly. The fact that I am not hauling huge bottles of soda home from the shop and I don’t have huge quantities of large plastic bottles to put in the recycling is a big bonus. Very, very happy with my purchase and the service I received from both Sodastream and especially Amazon! Thank you

Takes a little getting used to!
Arrived on time, and as described. This is a replacement for an earlier model, the bottle on this model does not screw in as in previous models, but has a grip mechanism, which takes a little getting used to in order to get a good seal on the bottle. Once figured out, it works flawlessly.

Can’t live without this
I can’t live without this how.
You can vary how fizzy your water is and the gas canister lasted me around 100 bottles of water. It’s easily refilled at places like Argos.
It’s not bulky or cumbersome to have on display and it doesn’t need a plug socket so can be put anywhere !

Great kitchen additio
Very easy to use and makes very good sparking water and other drinks when used with the flavours.
Only 2 star for value though as it is expensive for what it is and the build quality isn’t that good, but still well worth having.

Works well and makes water more interesting
I’m moving away from cola and other fizzy drinks, and trying to reduce single use plastic usage, so this seemed worth a try. Fizzy water is more interesting and if we do use it for squash it seems to need less concentrate.

Bought when on special offer but I think still worth a go at full price.

This model is easier to use than the ones where you screw the bottle up into the assembly. Quick and easy – fill bottle to the line, push up and back into unit, give it a couple of 2 -3 second presses on the button, pull back and it’s done. We often keep a bottle in the fridge once carbonated.

Cylinders can currently be exchanged at Robert Dyson shops for a tenner or so.

Sleek design, works well and easy to use
Really happy with the Sodastream Spirit. Very easy to use and a sleek design. As long as you fill the water bottle to the fill mark there are no issues with adding fizz – is very simple to manage level of fizz, add couple of button presses for lots of bubbles.

Save on plastic
saves on buying so many carbonated drinks in plastic bottles, (water for me),also saves a great deal of money. refills at Robert Dyas(uk), are only 12 as long as you take back your empty. Sits nicely on the kitchen worktop.

Not easy to use but works great once you've figured it out.
This must be the product withthe most contradictory reviewsI’ve come across on Amazon, which almost prevented me from buying one. Turns out they were all right!

When I first used the SodaStream according to the instructions (pics only)Ibarely got any fizz, whereas my partner got great fizz but couldn’t remove the bottleafterwards. Over the course of the past weeks we’ve worked out how to use it properlyand are happy with it, but it isn’t as easy to use as the instructions make it look like.

To give a few examples:I didn’t press down the button hard enough, so while it looked like the machine was doing theright thing, it wasn’t releasing enough gas for good fizz. To get the bottle out afterwards we found that we have to move it slightly to the left when pulling the lever forwards, then push the bottle up (instead of pull down!) until a “pop” sound occurs and the pressure isreleased.

Overall I’d give the SodaStream 3 stars for ease-of-use and 5 stars for the final result, making it 4 stars on average.

Stopped Buying Badoi
Mainly for environmental reasons we decided to stop buying bottled water. This Soda Stream was on offer during Black Friday and has already covered its cost in savings on bottled water.
It is very simple to use- you can precisely add as much or as little fizz as you like. It is relatively small and does not take up a large space on our limited work-surface.
Would be interesting to know exactly how eco-friendly it is compared to shop bought fizzing water.
I needed to buy a couple of extra bottles in order to keep some cool in the fridge.
Last week I had to change the CO2 canister for the first time. Took about 20 seconds. It could not be more straight forward.

Superb!
I bought this in the sale for my mum for Christmas and it is brilliant! It is so easy to set up and use; the instructions for set up were just pictures but it was quite simple really. The only thing is, it doesn’t tell you how long to push the button down for to carbonate the water so that is a bit of guesswork until she gets the hang of it. My mum is very happy and I am now going to be keeping an eye out for one for me. Would I pay full price for it… no. However, it is still brilliant and I do recommend it.

Would recommend it Vs buying plastic bottles
Easy to set up and use. Requires a lot more gas to make it as fizzy as store-bought water than you’d think, so you’ll probably need to replace the cylinder a lot sooner than expected. Other than that it’s excellent and the cylinder refill scheme is brilliant.

A must to save on plastic
Bought as had one many years ago and loved it used many times a week for the children . This one is easy to use and will save on plastic this Christmas and beyond

Bought it to cut down on plastic bottles
I had an old SodaStream years ago. With bottles of fizzy water at 20p a the supermarket, I gave up using it.

Having seen how much of a problem plastic bottles are, I picked up a newer model, and it does a great job.

Five button presses and it’s just as fizzy as shop bought sparkling water. I bought a couple of spare bottles so I can chill some more water in the fridge, ready for use later.

It has a larger capacity than my old one – making just over a pint glass worth. It stays fizzy in the bottles, so that’s not a problem.

Ottimo prodotto per amanti di acqua frizzante!
Regalo di compleanno per il mio fidanzato che ama l’acqua frizzante, molto apprezzato. Di utilizzo immediato e semplicissimo, consigliamo di ripetere l’operazione tre o quattro volte per avere un’acqua frizzantissima (ovviamente dipende per dai propri gusti). Stiamo usando il cilindro ormai da un anno e non ancora finito, penso che la spesa valga assolutamente la pena. Una volta gassata l’acqua aggiungiamo talvolta degli sciroppi per fare bibite. Unica pecca la bottiglia di plastica, non un materiale che amo e trattiene gli odori (gli sciroppi non glieli mettiamo mai dentro, sempre solo acqua filtrata). Ho pensato spesso di comprare le bottigliette in vetro della linea soda stream (per via dell’attacco della bottiglia, non possibile metterci qualunque altra bottiglia si abbia in casa ma ci vuole proprio quella). Fatta vedere in diverse occasioni ad amici rimasti affascinati dal prodotto. Molto leggero, non si attacca alla corrente ed occupa pochissimo spazio.

Fantastic. Works really well
Fantastic. Works really well. The bottles that come with it are perfect size for the fridge so I always have chilled water ready to fizz. Haven’t tried any flavours but have reduced my plastic recycling loads not buying sparkling water any more.

Wonderful stuff.
Absolutely fantastic. So glad that I finally got one of these. No need to buy fizzy water any more, or save all the space needed to store it.

Fresh soda water on tap
Had this several weeks now and is used daily. It was purchased to cut down on the plastic waste we create and cut down the volume of shopping.
Pro’s… Fresh soda water on tap all the time
Easy to use
You can make the soda water as fizzy as you like. We just give our two bursts of gas and its just right.
Drastically reduce the amount of plastic we produce even though we can recycle plastic bottles.
Cons… None to report as yet, still on the first bottle of gas that came with it so dont know how cost effective it will be.

Can definately recommend just wish we thought of it before now.

Pratico, Elegante e Funzionale
Il gasatore Spirit rispetta tutte le caratteristiche descritte dal costruttore:
1) semplicit, sia nell’installazione della bombola di CO2 che della bottiglia (entrambe le manovre eseguibili con una mano),
2) eleganza, in quanto ottimo componente di arredo che si adatta sia alle forme che ai colori del mobilio;
3) funzionale, infatti con un semplice tocco si pu scegliere il giusto grado di effervescenza dell’acqua;
E’ un oggetto che non dovrebbe mancare in nessuna casa, non necessit di corrente elettrica e pu essere spostato ovunque, inoltre i concentrati biologici annessi sono veramente buoni e gustosi (nel mio caso gusto : limone verde e ribes nero). Il prodotto e i concentrati sono stati provati anche da amici e parenti e il risultato/opinione stata la medesima: semplice, pratico e buono. Lo consiglio a chiunque soprattutto a chi vuole quella sensazione di brio in pi
