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

We’re NOT big soda drinkers, but we do enjoy a fizzy beverage now and again, so we put off buying one of these for a long time. Well, Prime Day came around and we saw the sale on this, and decided to go ahead & get one. We use it A LOT MORE than we thought we would! They have SO MANY flavorings, you’re SURE to find something you’ll use it for! My husband likes tonic water, and ginger ale, for the most part, and I’ve always loved root beer; those are our go-to drinks, but we’ve experimented with other flavorings, which are hit-or-miss. Most of the fruit flavorings just taste artificial, but we’ve found a few we really like. This one uses no electricity, so you can use it anywhere. The design is great, as its small footprint doesn’t take up much counter space, but it IS tall. We drink A LOT of plain water, so this provides a nice change of pace for our water intake.

This carbonation device works great. It is easy to use and makes a great product out of simple water (I use RO water and suggest that is better than plain tap water.)

My son loves sparkling water and I wanted to get him one for his birthday. I did a lot of research and wanted one that had glass carafes. Soda steam received great customer reviews and also from Wire Cutter. So I was really excited and purchased this product during the Black Friday sale and saved it for my son’s birthday in Jan.My son opened it up the first week of Jan and we discovered that it had already been used and one of the carafes was missing and the soda stream wouldn’t open to allow the bottle to fit in. I tried to exchange it but Amazon said I missed the window even though it said it could be returned until Jan 31st. They recommended that I call Soda Stream, which I did. I was really skeptical but the Soda Steam customer service was excellent!The customer support was very polite, very knowledgeable and very helpful. I was gutted that my son’s present didn’t work and he understood. We did a video chat and he was able to see the machine did not work. They were also able to take the product code picture, my order number and see that parts of the bundle were missing. They quickly reorder a new machine and it is to arrive within a week.I was so impressed! My son is so excited! Thank you Soda Steam for standing behind your products!

I had a SodaStream years ago that worked really great. I gave it away when I moved years ago. Recently a friend showed their SodaStream Aqua Fizz in action and it was the model that had GLASS carafes instead of plastic bottles so I bought it. It was easy to set up, but when I pushed the button to carbonate, it spilled water in the machine under the carafe.(Yes, I ONLY filled it to the Fill line, no more.) Plus I noticed the carbonation was very weak. I kept trying over several days days and it was the same - water everywhere, no matter what I did. Plus the carbonation was very, very weak, even with a full canister. Do check the other 1 star, 2 star and 3 star reviews and you'll see that is model has this known defect.**ALSO be aware, SodaStream does not tell you anyplace that the glass carafes are only 1/2 a liter (1 pint, 16 ozs) instead of the regular 1 liter (32 ounces) bottles in other models.I went to the SodaStream website and found that they don't even carry the Fizz model for sale any more. That should be a reason not to buy it. Skip this one, the model is defective!!

The SodaStream Aqua Fizz is an interesting addition to the home soda-making scene. Let's break down the pros and cons in a way you'd chat with a friend about it.It's a Bit Chunky (4/5):First off, it's kinda big. Not gonna lie, it takes up more counter space than the earlier SodaStream model. But it's not all bad - the extra size gives it a sturdy, premium feel. You're getting a solid machine for your money.Setup Can Be Tricky (3/5):So, here's the thing – figuring out how to open this thing and screw on the bottle can be a bit puzzling if you're not one to read the manual. It's not rocket science, but I wish it were more intuitive. Once you've done it a few times, you'll get the hang of it.Nails the Soda Taste (5/5):Now, the best part - the taste. This thing does a fantastic job recreating the flavors of popular sodas. It's like the real deal. So if you're into carbonated drinks but want to cut down on the sugar, this is a great option. Plus, there are tons of SodaStream syrup flavors to choose from.Chillin' with Glass Bottles (5/5):Here's a cool feature - it comes with glass bottles. They're not only stylish but practical. Glass cools your drink faster than plastic, and it stays colder longer. Plus, it's a greener choice compared to disposable plastic bottles.In a nutshell, the SodaStream Aqua Fizz is a good pick if you're into soda but want a more eco-friendly and budget-friendly option. It might take a little practice to get the hang of, but once you do, it's smooth sailing. It's pretty spot-on with the soda flavors, and those glass bottles are a nice bonus. Overall, it's a bubbly investment in taste and sustainability.

I love love love Sodastream. Have used them for decades. I love the ones that you don't have to plug in. The carafes are beautiful. I only thought about taking away one star because one of the bottles had a manufacturing flaw and had a ripple in the side of the bottle ( not the regular ripples that are part of the design ). Non-electric is great because it frees up outlets. Carbonation is great. Not super noisy since the bottles are contained within the machine. Easy and fast.
