SodaStream E-Duo Sparkling Water Maker (Black) with 60L CO2, 1 BPA- Free Carbonating Bottle and (1)1L Glass Bottle

I am sure I am not the only one who thinks that fizzy water tastes better from a glass bottle. This unit works very well and is easier to operate than any other. Glass bottles are great (you can order more)

I prefer bubbly water to flat in general. In the past Soda Streams didn't give great results so when a friend recommended I give a try to a newer model I was a little skeptical. I figured I could always return it if I didn't feel I was getting results. So far, I am loving this! I typically make mine with "level 2" carbonation and since I consume the whole carafe within a few hours I don't know how that would hold up in longer term storage. It is really simple to use and does not give water any sort of bitterness from the carbonation. Water quality makes a huge difference. The more pure the water, the better tasting the results. Even tap water carbonates though. I do find that the colder the water, the better the carbonation. So far I have only used the glass carafe, and I mix flavoring in by the glass not by the carafe full so it stays clean at the seals. If I run into issues I will come back to update but after a couple months of use things are going great.

I love this carbonator. My first one was similar but shaped like a penguin. It died finally so I went with this because it uses the same GLASS bottles so I didn’t have to part with the collection I have. It works great and I drink a lot if bubbles.

Overall I was definitely using this, but I went through the CO2 too quickly and it's slow and rather expensive to order replacements. And it was very hit or miss finding local places that actually had the CO2 refills in stock. I was going through one tiny tank every week or so. And considering the hassle its become finding refills those tanks were making this not worth even a fraction of the money. Maybe if they gave the device away for free and recouped the cost via refills which is where they have to actually be making the money anyways. The instructions leave a lot out and don't help very much. When they talk about "beeps" they mean the farting noise this thing makes when it over pressures "something" in it. Then however on EBAY I spent like $30 to buy a hose to hook this to real CO2 tank which I should have to refill once every 6 months... except the unit stopped working right. So then $150 for a tank and then I can exchange the tanks for $20 at one place that even delivers in town... seemed like a real win for once with this. Unfortunately something seems to have broken in this unit. It's constantly leaking a little CO2 and clicks when I slide the cover down and doesn't carbonate very much at all now before it gives the warning "beeps" And in the process of inspecting the device I took the hose off without releasing the pressure first and ruined the connector. So I'm pretty unhappy with this and really would not recommend it at all. The only good thing about it really is that it lets you carbonate water in GLASS containers instead of plastic. Otherwise The CONS 1) the instructions are inadequate 2) its awkward to use 3) refills are hard to find either online or locally 4) it broke after maybe 6 months The PROS 1) you can carbonate water cheaply without the constant waste of throwing away bottles 2) you can do it in glass bottles or moderately reasonable size

I'm keeping my original rating, but after about 3 months of use (and a minor repair job, weeks ago), over the past few days I'm noticing its carbonating water less and less, now matter how many times or how long I'm pressing down for it. I used to gauge the amount of carbonation by observing the amount of bubbles in the carafe after activating it. Oddly, and considering I have an industrial size (5lb) CO2 bottle for only about 6 weeks tops, there doesn't seem to be any lack of CO2 (which should last me well into the summer months) venting when I push the button. But rather suddenly, it doesn't carbonate as effectively as before. Even though it *sounds* like it's carbonating the wazoo out of the water, when I look at the carafe upon extracting it--hardly any observable bubbles. I've done a cursory check for leaks that might affect the carbonating action. I inspected the insides of the caisson containing the carafe and the stem, but everything seems in order. There is that plastic sleeve around the head of the carbonation stem, and I'm wondering how that functions in the carbonating process? Is there something I'm not understanding about how water takes on carbonation? I'm hoping someone reading this with a similar experience of a sudden diminution of carbonation amounts might have some advice about what's going on.

Great alternative! Easy to use! No need to plug, sleek design! Wishing they have sprite then it’s absolute perfection! Don’t have it long enough to know if I am saving, so far I like that I have it available anytime!

Sometimes, you just have to pay for the right brand, which this is. I had a terrible service from a previous (cheaper) competitor, and nothing could be done when it broke within a few months. The glass jars are great. I get refilled cylinders through an exchange program at Canadian Tire.

Excellent. Thank you

Facile à utiliser et bon au goût

Fonctionne à merveille !!! Toujours de l'eau pétillante de disponible. Super bon achat!!!!
