sodastreamGaia Sparkling Water Maker, Black

If you drink soda then this will be your new best friend and will save you a ton of money in the long run!!I even bought one for each house of our family members (4 total) for Christmas and all stated that these were their favorite ans most used gift they received.

Works perfectly!! Lots of carbonation it is plastic machine is the only downside

If you don’t do this, you will have a mess and Water will be all over. I guess that is the chief complaint about this device. But you gotta be smarter than the device and actually turn it to where it is sealed before turning it on. one complain on this is that when you go to put pelletized dry ice in the bottle it has a slow leak. I guess that’s how they get you to buy more of them. You gotta love how people just spend more money on their products. I like this device, but I wish that it would take the blue canister instead of the pink one, the pink canister is designed to leak, causing you to buy another canister at $37 I don’t know about you but I go through a canister every two weeks. They should make restaurant ones for households just thought I know not many people would buy it, but I would depending on the fact if it might be

Bought my first Soda Stream in 2020. Loved it for the instant carbonation, value, and convenience. When my v1 died in late 2023 I bought the Gaia model. I truly hate this model and am now looking for a replacement. As others have noted, this leaks everywhere. I could bear with that, but the real problem is that it simply doesn't work. After pumping the carbonation 3x more than what is recommended, I see bunch of frothy bubbles, but they instantly fade away and I am left with flat water. I like flavored drinks and now I am just paying a lot of money for flavored flat water. Really hope there is a better model that is affordable that I can find soon.

Our last Soda Stream lasted us for 10 years. We ordered a different brand and found that it didn't carbonate as well. So we ordered another Soda Stream and the carbonation worked just as well as our last one. The plastic bottle supplied seems to be smaller than what came with the original. This model was supposed to have included one Diet Pepsi and one SugarFree Mountain Dew flavoring. What came was two Mountain Dews, no Pepsi. Not a deal breaker but it's going to take us forever to go through two bottles of MD. I hope this one lasts as long as our last one.

I did a lot of research before buying my Soda Stream. I drink a lot of diet soda and the price for them had gotten really expensive. After I purchased my Soda Stream, I kept track of how many liters of soda I got out of one canister of CO2 plus factored in the cost of the syrup. It was slightly less expensive than buying 12oz cans. We decided that with the amount of waste we were saving, it was well worth it. I also found that the gas exchange program directly through Soda Stream was better than going through Amazon. Apparently I missed the fine print that said they would email you a code for the gift card. I thought the gift card would be automatic so I didn’t think they were receiving me canisters. When I realized it, all f the emails had been deleted. It is much more straight forward when you go directly through Soda Stream.

This model that's sold here on Amazon for the Soda Stream, the Gaia, it is not sold in the United States it's only sold in Europe and that was a decision by the Soda Stream Corporation or powers that be of Soda Stream. It's just that they made it for Europe; it's a very good item, it's manual so there's no power cord or anything like that you just simply put in the the unit in the back for the carbon and put the water in the container and press. It's amazing and you can control how strong it is by how many times you press it. You can purchase the flavoring and I just thought it was amazing and I don't know why I haven't purchased this before; it's saving me a lot of money in the household as well as enabling us to control how much sugar is in our drinks and after using this I realized that I don't want it as sweet as I drink before. I like this.

Great device!! Upgrade from my older model
