Santa got me a Soda Stream for Christmas...love it..the family love it and this will increase our water consumption on a daily basis. Love the ease of the machine and not be limited to where I can use it as it is not electric.
Looking forward to trying it with some flavours especially Tonic water for my G&T's!!!

Unhappy with product seems to be faulty batch of one touch soda stream units taken 2 back to store .even store assistant tried to demonstrate still no fizzy soda and floods everywhere.

Just love our new soda stream maker its amazing ty soda stream the new flavours are so nice cant wait to try more of them it saves us so much money

This review is about the company. By mistake I selected a SodaStream product online and wanted to exchange! not return! as I chose an electrically ran machine and not a press button that we could use camping when we do not have electricity and also for environmental reasons. I was unable to exchange for no reason apart that they do not exchange online purchases!!!! Very disappointed and then found out I could of bought the same product in Woolworths..... terrible service SodaStream. I will not recommend your company.

We didn't drink a lot of sparkling water in the past but did buy it for special occasions. We umd and ahd for a while before purchasing. Been pretty happy we did - we drink a lot more carbonated water now, so probably hasn't saved us money but it's definitely been a great and well used product!
It's a great guilt free treat for the kids too!

We have 4 sons and We were going through loads of bottled sparkling water, purchased our soda stream and are now saving not only money but also the environment! The amount of bottles we were recycling was becoming a bit ridiculous!

We now have the ability to have sparkling water in a matter of seconds, and we have 3 bottles on the go constantly. 2 kept in the fridge.

I love that we have the ability to modify how bubbly we want the water and its

Our soda stream would probably be our most used and valued appliance. Kids and adults are loving it!

Its also super easy to replace the gas, with so many shops offering the swap service- making it far more cost effective!!

We recently bought a Soda Stream Jet to replace the 10+ bottles of soda our family went through in a week. Were all really happy with the purchase and think were saving a bit of money.
The bottles are a bit fiddly to screw into the machine but ok once you're used to it.
Kids are keen to see if the syrups work better than normal cordial!

i like it a lot but when i put in the syrup the water the i just carbonated, bubbles out with the syrup and make a big mess so when i put the syrup in have to wait 20 minutes before putting in the syrup its a pain but it tastes good and cheaper than buying a bunch of Coke

I have had 3 Sodastreams over three years. All seals leaking on every unit. Cylinder continues to flow into bottle and when cylinder loosened liquid flows back and flooding from connection. Much cheaper options available if you have co2 cylinder for home brew from Kegland you can carbonate anything in a Coke bottle with a cap that fits and attaches to the cylinder. About$1.50 each

I have been using the Sodastream for well over a year.

I wanted to cut down on the number of plastic bottles of soda I was buying from the supermarket and this was a good solution.

I kept records of output of the Sodastream and it was on par or slightly better than the price per litre for supermarket soda.

The Sodastream assembly is almost entirely plastic and I believe this is the reason that it doesn't give consistent carbonation. You might get good gas on one pour (5 depressions of 3 seconds) but the next will be very weak and despite multiple depressions you get hardly any fizz. This pattern seems to continue and it isnt the bottle at fault.

So, if you want consistency buy soda water from the supermarket.

Sodastream works well however it filled only 25 bottles for $20. I can buy Springwater from coles for .90c. I am very disappointed in the poor economic value. I hope to see the price of the refill cylinders come down in price in the near future.

I purchased a Spirit OneTouch a couple of months ago from BigW. The first cylinder lasted about 4 weeks with 2 bottles carbonated a day. The last one has only lasted about 2 weeks with similar carbonation amount. I like the idea of less waste going to landfill when using Sodastream, but it is not going to be very economical if there is a need to purchase a cylinder so often!

Has been working well for the past six months. We find simple Aldi cordial make good softdrinks and likewise simply lime juice.
We were able to reduce our plastic consumption also.
Only negative is they're perhaps a little expensive for what they are.

I accidentally left my empty SodaStream cylinder at home, needed a refill so paid double $38 ($19 normally with a replacement cylinder). When I went back with 2 empty canisters, I thought they'd just give me a new one as a trade-in for the 2, But no they only offered me a $1. What a rip-off. Spoke to the Company, who admitted that was their customer policy. Thought everybody should be aware of such a mean-spirited company, so Soda Stream really is. Don't trust theses guys

Machine not fizzing and not buzzing. Rang help desk they said send photo, photo sent. Then they wanted me to send video. Very difficult, so my son had to help me to send it via We Transfer. They accessed the video then, they emailed me to say they had lost the video and to resend. I am not able to video or submit video myself. Don't expect efficiency from this company.

Soda stream told me they do not provide spare parts or have repair centres for their machines!! After warranty our machine started leaking. I had to message a video recording so they could help me. They told me to hold the machine in locked position! I want a FIX!! $160 FOR THE MACHINE, $30ea FOR THE GLASS CARAFES, $20.95 TO REFILL A CYLINDER!!! NO REPAIR SERVICE, NO SPARE PARTS??! This is a joke! NOT ENVIRONMENTAL! We purchased the machine as an environmental choice to reduce waste and use our own water. It was great whilst working but it's cheaper to buy horrible plastic bottles from supermarket... NOT HAPPY!!

We had an old model soda stream which was fantastic and eventually died and so we went and bought a new sodastream Play (the only model available) immediately. We were so disappointed. The new model didn't grip our old bottles so thinking that was why we had no bubbles we went and bought all new bottles which the Play machine gripped but still didn't put bubbles into the water - a total fizzer - no pun intended. We contacted soda stream but they are very very slow to respond.
