I have been satisfied with the C02 canister exchange process until recently. I generally go through a canister every 2-3 weeks. I don’t know if my store received a bad batch, but the last three canisters I’ve received have either been half empty or mostly empty. The most recent canister was purchased 2 days ago. I filled up three bottles before the canister was empty. The canisters before that lasted between 3-4 days. Very frustrating. I still love my Sodastream, but if this continues, it might be cheaper just to go back to buying a 12 pack of bottled sparkling water.

Bought this because I typically drink a 2lier bottle of sparkling water a day. Thought I’d reduce plastic consumption & maybe save a little money. My state has a bottle deposit so more than 90% of my bottles were being recycled anyway. The packaging of my recent purchase was ridiculous- 3 PLASTIC bottles the size of a soda bottle for the flavoring - should have read the size info- I was expecting something the size of the flavor drops you can buy at any grocery store. Then in a totally separate package on a separate delivery day you sent me a box almost as large as a shoe box. Inside was several large sheets of brown packing paper- cradling a sheet of plastic bubble wrap that appeared to be heat sealed because it could not be unwrapped if one wanted to reuse it- ... MoreBought this because I typically drink a 2lier bottle of sparkling water a day.

Not so earth friendly people!

My son has one and I wasn’t sure how fast we would use and go through them since my wife exclusively drinks sparkling water and as what I read it was good to have back up. There was no return label in the box for exchange and I was told you have to order a new replacement set which cost 16.99 per cylinder and is more than I paid for this set so that is confusing. 🫤However we are pleased with our purchase I did not refer my son’s information for a discount either so that has no bearing on the price difference. I even got the flavors and think they are comparable.
