SodaStream Spirit Sparkling Water Maker Machine includes a 1 Litre Reusable BPA Free Water Bottle for Carbonating and 60 Litre CO2 Blue Gas Cylinder - Black

We bought this initially to put the fizz into our homemade cider. Works wonders!Easy to use. We bought extra bottles so that we could still use these for water or fizzy juices for our grandchildrenSmart stylish design and removes waste as the bottles can be reused time and time again

I love my soda stream maker, I need to give it a few more presses than it recommends on the button, but a cylinder of gas still lasts a month and I probably make about 1.5 litres of sparking water a day. The flavour bottles I bought were lemonade and diet cola from Lakeland as that was the only place I could find them and they have lasted well as well, but the best is just to put in a slice of fresh lemon and that works a treat really bubbly and refreshing and because you can get 0.5l bottles it means that my sparkling water is always sparkling as I just make it as and when I want to drink it, so there's no waste and no plastic bottles. You can even subscribe to get gas bottles delivered and returned and so reduce your costs through the year. Very pleased with this as a way to cut down on our plastic bottle useage, our recycling bin is now taking weeks to fill.

We've had our Sodastream for a couple of years now. We always enjoy sparkling water, and this was supposed to save money on buying large bottles. The flavour, if you press the button multiple times, is very refreshing. The problem is that replacement gas canisters are both hard to get hold of and very expensive, so we have stopped using it as often as we once did

It takes a bit of getting used to but once you've sussed it out it works like a dream.It's manual operation which for me is perfect as I didn't want another mains powered kitchen appliance which would add to the cost, especially with rising energy prices.Bear in mind that the 60l gas quote is based on 3 presses which is a pretty flat fizz, 4-5 presses works best so you'll get through the gas quicker than the estimated 60l to about 35-40l. I'm two weeks in and it's still going after making 1-2l a day.Can't say the flavours are very good but you can use any squash or cordial to add flavour once you've fizzed. Another top tip is to use a Brita filter to filter your tap water before you fizz, it just taste's better.I'm also amazed at how it's massively reduced my recycling waste, that alone makes it worth it in my mind.

This wee Gadget is absolutely brilliant. After reading some ok reviews by some people regarding this soda stream i have come to the conclusion that those people must be THICK. This little gizmo is so simple to use Fill the bottle to the mark (for best results fill slightly over the line marked on the bottle). To Insert Gas cylinder remove back cover. Tear plastic covering off cylinder then unscrew white plastic top from cylinder. Screw the cylinder up into unit and replace back cover. Insert water bottle up into front of soda stream no need to screw into place just push up then push bottle back into unit. Now this is where people may be getting it wrong. If you like your water really FIZZY press the Grey button the top for 5 two second bursts. Press firmly down don't be scared. You may hear gas escaping perfectly normal don't worry this means its working and you are pressing the button hard enough. Like i said before 5 times 2 second bursts makes perfect fizzy water. Should have bought one of these years ago. My wife loves it as well no more carrying heavy packs of fizzy water home from shopping. I must admit the instructions (Pictures only) may be vague but they are very self explanatory. Anyway very happy with this Soda stream GREAT Purchase. Thank you Amazon

The media could not be loaded. I wrote this review because I saw so many conflicting ones regarding ease of use and lasting time. I have found this so easy to use: fill with cold water to the line, put up over nozzle and push backwards to lock (no need to turn the bottle) then push on the top button for 2 seconds as many times as you want. I like 4 as super bubbly. I stopped drinking diet coke and Pepsi and this has been a really refreshing alternative as it's super cold and the bottles are nice to drink from. We did need to buy more bottles as only one comes with it. So now we have a bottle each. We have had it about 2 weeks and the only issue was the gas cannister becoming loose a couple of times, just needed tightening. Really light so it's portable around the kitchen, and I feel much better with the lack of sparkling water bottles were getting through.

I think this is brilliant! Easy to use, yes expensive but in the long run stops buying plastic bottles so saves money an less plastic waste!Also when i used it, it does taste exactly like the water you buy from the shop so im converted! Also the canisters are refillable you just have to find a shop that refills them... i think argos do but i need to find out for sure... in the long run you save money though as this is going to be used alot!Seriously invest in it if you like sparkling water its so easy to use! Everything clips in or screws in really easy to... by this i mean the cannister and water bottle you put in it to make the water fizzy 😊

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.
