SodaStream Aqua Fizz Sparkling Water Maker Bundle (Black), with Co2, Glass Carafes, & bubly drops Flavors

Flavors sent were actually: Lime and Cherry. Worked out better for me. Otherwise, everything as advertised. The canister installed easily, carbonating the water was easy, the glass bottles feel sturdy while looking elegant, and the final product is a very well-carbonated drink with plenty of fine bubbles that feel more like sparkling than exploding. It needs a lot of room above it but I was pleasantly surprised that it does not plug in which meant I did not have to have it near an outlet.

Read a lot of bad reviews, took a chance and it works perfectly. Been using it for a month now, no issues and comparing the bubbles to my source, can't really notice a difference. Maybe slightly smaller bubbles, but i push the source till it lights up two or three and only do about two farts on this. Came with the new quick connect canisters, sad about that as the source uses the original scew type. But hey, maybe thats why mine works so well, updated model. Love the glass now i can put flavors into the bottles without ruining them for plain water like with the plastic. A lot of people complain about the indication sound, like a fart, but i like it. Its not obnoxious like the source and i can make water late at night without disturbing the house. What else can i say? I've made three bottles a day for a little over a month now and the canister hasn't been changed yet. I also make the same with the source and had to change the canister last week. I believe i don't waste as much gas with this one, mostly because it's shrouded and i don't get the excitement watching it bubble. People talked about water and scum build up inside the shroud. Tip: fold a paper towel and place it into the can before you close it to catch any drips from the nozzle and dry up any residual moisture. If you feel it getting damp just toss it and replace. My machine looks brand new still.

My daughter is a sparkling water addict and she LOVES this device. I gave it to her more than a year ago, and she's been using it continuously. Refill cartridges are very easy to get and install.

My family has had another, cheaper model of a sodastream for years, it is a plastic unibody that barely fits the larger CO2 bottle. It feels cheap. In fairness, we've had that older model for more than ten years so it is just as worthwhile as the Aquafizz, just a little less stylish. The Aquafizz is the same system but with style. I particularly like that the Aquafizz has glass bottles, and they are sturdy! I was a little afraid at first but they're holding up to my clumsiness well. I was always frustrated as well that the energy drink syrup we used stained the plastic sodastream bottles, and putting them in the dishwaher warped those bottles, but obviously that is no problem with glass. And the carbonation lasts very well, even at room temperature. I sometimes forget that I have an unfinished bottle in my vehicle for a couple days and am always pleasantly surprised that my drink is still bubbly. This package is definitely a good deal, I'm still on the first CO2 bottle and Bubly drops that came with it after more than 20 uses!

When I first found out about these I realized flavored water is so cheap that it doesn’t save any money and it’s actually more work because you have to mail out the tanks to get replacements. First thoughts, Why bother? Here are 3 reasons why you should own this. 1) reduce waste and your carbon footprint. 2) reduce your exposure to harmful endocrine disrupting chemicals 3) make your own mineral waters and save a ton of money 1) flavored water sold in stores is made from polluted municipal water sources. They’re packed in cans and shipped many miles to local stores. Water is heavy and uses a lot of fuel to ship. I live in California where Nestle buys a lot of our water for their bottled products - and we are in a severe drought. I knowingly can’t support their business or any canned or bottled water company buying someone else’s municipal water supply. 2) cans are lined with BPA which really is bad for our bodies and especially our reproductive systems. For women, these fake estrogens can increase problems with painful or missed cycles and contribute to weight gain. For men, these chemicals can increase weight gain, contribute to manboobs, and completely destroy androgen (testosterone, DHEA, etc) levels. For children? You can’t imagine how bad higher levels of exposure to these chemicals are for developing minds and bodies. Read Countdown by Shanna Swan or watch her interview with Joe Rogan. Physical deformities for boys that mean they will never have the ability to produce enough testosterone, early puberty for girls, and much worse. These chemicals come from many sources in our environment and while we can’t completely prevent exposure we can reduce exposure by staying away from unclean cosmetics (anything scented with perfume is suspect) microwaved plastics and the big one, CANS. This is alone made the purchase worth it to me. 3) I drink RO water. It’s about as close to distilled as I can get without a big bulky machine. It’s pretty much devoid of minerals. When you drink mineral water, the minerals are dissolved in the water by the carbonation process which makes them easier to absorb than in food or pills. Our foods have about half the mineral content they had 50 years ago, Google soil depletion and you’ll see this isn’t made up. A bottle of Gerolsteiner (German bubble water) is $2.19 on sale and I could easily consume 2 per day. If you try to obtain electrolytes through supplements like LMNT or Liquid IV, you’ll pay about $1.50 per serving. Fortunately some hard working individuals have figured out how to make your own duplicate mineral waters with a sprinkle of common minerals you can buy a few pounds of for $15 here on amazon. You can easily find recipes for your favorite mineral waters or try making your own. A few pennies worth of minerals and co2 saves me dollars a da and helps me get added nutrients I’m not currently getting. If you have 3 people in your household that’s $6.57 a day if you all had one liter of mineral water or $2398 a year. You’ll easily recoup the cost of this machine, co2 and flavoring.
