I basically use it for soda water.
It is brilliant, as I am almost the only one in the house drinking Sparkling water.
Does what it says on the tin.
This gift was very well received and is being used daily!
I drink sparkling water and was trying to decrease the amount of plastic I was buying every week. Love this and wouldn’t look back.
A fantastic way to help reduce plastic waste, no longer needing to buy bottles of carbonated water. The result isn’t quite as fuzzy but acceptable.
Tip a good tip is to purchase a couple of extra gas bottles so you never run out of gas. I hope you found my comments useful
The 1st one just would not get fizzy unless pumped about 10 times, I didn’t know if it was a bad gas calendar or the actual soda stream. Amazon replaced it straight away so at one point I had two, this was good because I could test the opened gas canister on the new soda stream and it worked perfectly so it was actually the base. Easy to send the broken one back. now have fizzy water whenever and stops all that plastic waste.
I could have saved on so many plastic bottles. This is easy to use and makes great sparkling water. I use filtered water and it tastes as good as any. Glad I didn’t spend more on a fancy item. This is great.
I got this because my wife only drinks fizzy water and was putting lots of plastic bottles in the recycling bin. Not any more because the Sodastream unit saves all that and it’s very easy to use.
This saves on plastic, works brilliantly and looks slick. Highly recommend.
A great wee addition to our family kitchen. It fits very easily into our kitchen with it being slim-lined and not bulky.
Great product. No idea what some of the reviews are on about regarding that they can’t get the bottle in. I’ve had no problems at all
Soda Stream is famous for this product. Its very easy to use, base feels cheap cause of plastic, but I think, it will bother you, because of very good processing.
Wasn’t sure whether to go for this or not because of the very mixed reviews but finally took the plunge on prime day and I LOVE it! So easy to use. Plenty of fizz. Bought a little my only bottle too which is perfect size for out and about. If you like sparkling water then this is the gadget for you. Buy one and save on plastic bottles
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.
Much better than the original, love the style and ease of use.
This has so far done exactly what it should put bubbles in our water can’t complain so far – delivery was amazing so quick
Love my Sodastream! Easy to use and I can pop into my local Robert Dyas for replacement CO2 cannisters (12.50). Much easier than lugging heavy plastic bottles from the supermarket – and don’t get me started on the plastic pollution! So easy to use too. Well recommended.
Great product, fizzes nicely with full co2. Just hard to find replacement cylinders these days
Excellent product which aids the environment- no more need to buy sparkling water in plastic bottles.
Works well simple and easy to use.
My main piece of advice to anyone buying this is, buy your flavour concentrates at ASDA. 3 instead of a minimum of 4.70 online plus postage.
Very pleased with this Soda stream, it keeps the water fizzy for at least 24 hrs, it’s very slim , expensive looking, and doesn’t clutter up the worktop.
Great product I like my water extremely fuzzy so it’s great. I tend not to fill the bottle the line as it over flows but apart from that it’s grea
I use it only for pure sparkling water. Not very easy to use but fine if pressed hard.
This is great in you drink a lot of fizzy water. It sounds expensive. You can purchase a large bottle of carbonated water for very little, but you’re then left with the plastic bottle which is not good for the environment. Very easy to set up and use.
I bought this as a gift. Great product if you like sparkling water. Easy to use and stylish.
Very glad I bought this. After years of buying plastic bottles of water, bad for the planet and for my back when carting them around, I discovered you can make your own! The use of a water filter makes the flavour even better. Easy to use, works well, a great buy

Not very fizzy at first, we even considered returning it for a better one, but I read some of the other reviews, you need to press hard and not fill the bottle up too much. The instructions are terrible, as in there isn’t any!
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.
Very easy to use and great item, however after 2 months of use I have noticed that the bottle catches somewhere in the machine and you have to twist it to release it or oull hardly. Machine made of plastic so its a bit worrying that I will oull too hard one day and break it.
I drink a lot of water and its nice to know that I dont have to buy another plastic bottle to have a fizzy water. I cant comment on flavours as I never tried any but its a great gadget to have.
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!
I am very pleased with my SodaStream it’s magnificent, the best thing i bought in a while. It’s powerful, makes the water very fizzy. Easy to use.
Don’t listen to some negative comments left by people who are not using it properly and who should have bought a brain instead, shame that Amazon don’t sell those.
Not cheap but it’s been worth it for me. I don’t like tap water but like soda water so I am now more hydrated than I ever have been. To avoid leaks and spills, just don’t gas too much in one go.
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.
I use this mainly for making soda water and it’s so much better than constantly buying bottles from the supermarket. One cyclinder lasted over a year.
Got this for my mum for Christmas and she says it’s the best present I’ve ever gotten her. She uses it every day and loves how the water keeps it fizz for days
Saves on plastic, I have 3 bottles and it makes perfect sparkling water.
Easy to get cheap gas refills from Argos… one bottle does 60 litres.. fab
ok this product is easy to use value for money no if it was 30 pound it would be value for money as these cost a damn site less years ago otherwise it does exactly what it says it does it makes soda you can have just fizzy water or use any squash etc for flavou
Saving a fortune on bottled water and not using plastics .
Much better than the 1st generation of sodastreams. I use it most days as I love soft drinks.. this is a healthy alternative that tastes just as good.
Took a while to understand how to operate correctly and to judge how many times to press to get the right carbonation which is 5 in our case. Not sure how long the gas cylinder will last at this rate. Satisfied with the result and at least we’ve drastically cut down our plastic waste.
sodaaaaarrrr! We bought the stream plus two extra water bottles. We don’t use the syrups just lime juice or Robinsons juice for flavour. Hope this helps.
A little expensive but functions without issues, very easy to use. One can carbonise to taste by simply pressing a button on the of the unit (who needs a more expensive unit !!). The unit is complete with a high quality re-usable plastic 1ltr bottle. Linking up with Sodastream’s CO2 bottle re-fill service provides a great way to reduce plastic and contribute to saving the planet !!

Good product. Been using it daily for several weeks. Available cheaper in some high Street shops.
So far so good. Works really well. not as fizzy as a soft drink can, then I don’t want it to be.
I have this gut feeling it’s not going to work for Very long. Built like it was never meant to last long, that’s a shame, I really like this product. Shame about the production values.
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.
I don’t often write a review but wanted to give my opinion on this product.
When I was considering buying a Soda Stream type product I did what I always do, look at the products on offer and see the reviews. The one I originally wanted to buy wasn’t available so I decided to buy this one though the reviews had some negative comments, mainly about the bubbles.
Well it’s simples, you want bubbles you just press the button more! We haven’t looked back and always store a couple of bottles in the fridge so that at any time we have fizzy water. But the best thing is you can choose your bubble level and my husband prefers less so we can actually suit the bubble content to the drinker!
Also, I now don’t have loads of purchased bottles in the kitchen and that means we are using far less plastic. It’s really a win win.
I am delighted with my SodaStream water bubbler, which works brilliantly. I was feeling so guilty about all the plastic bottles I was recycling. Now I feel guilty about not having done something about it sooner! One thing that had prevented me was thinking that bubbly tap water wouldn’t taste as good as bubbly spring water, but I am surprised to find that I can’t tell the difference – probably because I add a dash of lemon juice or wine. Happy days!
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.
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 bit of practice to get it right compared to the old model but good once mastered. Only complaint a bit pricey otherwise satisfied overall.
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.
It’s a basic soda stream, the flavours you use with it are for a subtle mild taste but good fizz.
I was pleased with this product but the canister ran out after only three bottles. I don’t seem to be able to find a way to report this
Makes great sparkling water but requires a lot of pressure on the top button. I need to use both hands. I would still recommend
Absolutely love my SodaStream, I use it daily. I brought mine in Sept 2018 and have only now had to replace the gas. It’s saved me money and reduced plastic no end as I am no longer buying water. Personally, I prefer the lighter bubbles that SodaStream makes. To add flavour, I add fruit or squash. I highly recommend SodaStream.
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.
Very pleased with this purchase, some reviews were disappointed that there was not enough fizz, I would recommend 3 firm presses for 2 Seconds each press, this puts in quite enough fizz. Extra bottles are useful and retain the fizz for at least 24hrs. Saves buying single use spring water in bottles and doing our bit for the environment.
This is amazing! I’m really excited to have carbonated water on tap. I can’t believe the reviewers who are saying that their water is not fizzy enough. Mine is incredibly fizzy! I was really chuffed to get it on an Amazon deal too.
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.
I bought this as a gift for my husband who loves sparkling water but was disheartened by the amount of plastic waste that he was contributing to each time he bought a bottle. The SodaStream is a win/win. He can make a small amount of sparkling water whenever he feels like it and other than the cost of the gas canister, which relative to the other costs is not significant, it’s a great product.
Great product which reduces plastic use as I was having 6 small bottles of sparkling water each day. Very happy with my purchase and bought another as a wedding present.
We found this really easy to use and all the family love it.
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.
I find I am not very good at putting the gas into the bottle, but my husband is great at doing it so he gets to make the sparkling water.
Drinking a lot more water since getting this, easy to use.
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.
Very pleased with this. Purchased to reduce the amount of plastic bottles I’ve been using. So easy to use & water stays fizzy for a long time. Make sure you fill the water up to the marker line on the bottle to ensure your water gets carbonated properly. After reading negative reviews about this product I can only assume people are using it incorrectly. If your water is not filled up to the marker then you will not get fizzy water.
I use a lot of soda water (either for drinking or mixing) and was concerned by the number of plastic bottles I end up buying as a result. So my natural conclusion was to carbonate the water myself, which I have to say, has been very successful. I can choose exactly how carbonated I want the water to be (from light fizz to “oh no it feels like I have popping candy in my mouth” fizz), the bottle supplied is sturdy and retains fizz extremely well, and everything is easy to use, fits well and tastes just as good as standard soda water. A big recommendation if you want to decrease your plastic usage.
My husband is a happy man! Denied a Soda Stream as a child, I’ve made a dream come true. He’s thrilled. A great addition to the kitchen. It’s easy to use and we’ve cut our plastic waste dramatically by using this instead of plastic bottles.
I bought this for a sparkling water addict.
I don’t think it saves any money against buying bottles, however it’s surely far better for the environment with a gas canister recycling scheme.
My only complaint really is that it is very tall and doesn’t fit under the kitchen cabinets. It is also quite ugly so has to live in the pantry!
My other half is very pleased with the water it produces! And the bottles provided hold the fiz in well.
I would recommend purchasing a set of smaller bottles though…
Read the reviews and very varied -from no good to excellent. However the price was good so I went for it ! Very easy to set up and working within a minute of unpacking. Sparking water easy to achieve after 3 blasts and I tested whether the water lost the sparkle in the provided bottle. This wasn’t the case and still bubbling when poured the following day. Ever to experiment I filled the bottle with white wine and gave it a blast or two ! Definitely had a nice sparkle to it. Would I recommend this product ? Yes I would.
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.
Husband delighted with this for xmas. Eady to use – sparkling water at a few button presses. He drinks it by the gallon so this will be hopefully better for the envirnment too – save using all those plastic bottles
I am very happy with my new Sodastream Spirit. It arrived, safely packed, ahead of scheduled delivery date. I was slightly disappointed that there were no written instructions only a set of pictures. That is the reason for my 4star rating in the Ease of Use section. However, that was a minor difficulty. After an unsuccessful first try I got the method sorted out and have enjoyed sparkling water ever since. I enjoy drinking sparkling water and appreciate not having to carry heavy bottles of it home from the supermarket.
Convenient.
Saves plastic.
Makes decent Soda water.
The removable cover for the cannister housing at the back feels a bit flimsy.
Saves money? I am yet to work out the economics of it. I use this only for making Soda water – not as a lemonade/Cola/fizzy pop replacement. After the initial purchase, each cannister apparently makes 60L of Soda water – though I assume that is with the minimum recommended ‘fizziness’, and I put a couple of extra pumps in for my preference, which is more like store bought Soda water – and costs 23 currenly on Amazon. This works out at a little over 38p a litre. By contrast Morrisons soda water is 45p a litre (alson on Amazon). So, factoring in a probably get a little less than the 60L out of the cannister it is probably more or less even.
For me, worth it for using far fewer plastic bottles and the convenience of Soda water on demand (assuming you have the gas!)
Can’t comment on the flavour of the syrups as I haven’t used any.
Don’t forget to factor in the gas canister costs, they are 15 for 60l (you swap out empty for new at Argos etc.).
Would have preferred the one with the glass bottles but as that model opens upward we wouldn’t have had the space.
Overall very pleased and would recommend.
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.

Easy to use and the water has a great taste (nothing to share with the one we used to make using powder when I was younger). Dosing in a reproducible manner is not easy.
– A lot of people were saying they weren’t getting fizz from it, i can only assume they were using it incorrectly as I got a fantastic fizz from it! Really powerful and took seconds, also stayed fizzy for a very long time.
– It looks great, it fits into the kitchen’s asthetiques easily and the build quality is very nice
All i can say is that it works very well so give it a go!
Glad not to be buying plastic bottles which is the only reason I bought a soda stream. Sometimes it works better than others at putting in the bubbles but I can’t work out why.
Very pleased. It works well. Will be interesting to see how long the gas bottle lasts.
The product is fine – however less than two weeks later the same item is priced at 59.99 when I paid 75.99!
Very happy with my sodastream. Bought it as an investment to reduce my plastic bottle consumption as I was drinking so much fizzy water. I don’t use the sodas, so can’t comment on those, but it’s a sleek design and produces good fizzy water!
Tried the sugar free orange and mango and cloudy lemonade and diet cola. All very good.
