Philips Sparkling Water Maker ADD4901BKOQ/37, Plastic Soda Streaming Machine with Quick Twist Bottle, 1L BPA free PET Carbonating Bottle, Soda Maker Compatible with 60L CO2 Carbonator (NOT Included)

I got this because I had just ordered several bottles for my classic soda stream and it really wasn’t working well. I didn’t want to waste the money on the cylinders so I wanted to find a low cost soda stream compatible with my blue twist on CO2 cartridges. I couldn’t find any classic soda streams on Amazon or at least not for very cheap and this came up on my suggestions and it works very well much better than my old soda stream.

Received on time bust just opened. It works well with our local c02 cylinder purchased separately. At first I wondered its compatibility due to quick twist label, but it refers to the bottle not cylinder type. The description was not clear. It worked well in first few days but the lock twist mechanism started to have problem just after few refills. It just cannot hold the refill bottle and the water just burst when pump gas into it

Would’ve been nice if they included a gas can so we could’ve used it right away. Also advertising the type of gas. One would buy now I have to wait two days to use it!

Worked well for a short time. But after less than 4 months, the gas started leaking when I was trying to carbonate the bottles. You could hear it leaking and feel the cold. And it took much longer to carbonate the bottle. This is my second Phillips soda maker. My first one had a similar issue and I had to replace it. Something happens to the seals or the cheap plastic construction, and it bleeds out the CO2 from the gas canister, so it's also costing more money with the gas it wastes. Try a better product.

I had a Soda Stream for a long time and was wary of switching brands, but I am glad I did. This devise works great, takes up a little less room on my counter and uses standard cylinders so it is easy to make the sparkling water my family enjoys.

Excelente, funciona muy bien

That it is a good sparkling water maker. I would recommend it to anyone

So far so good. I have run into the issue some folks have talked about with the vent getting stuck open, but I discovered that only seems to happen if the seal is not good on the bottle. This can be remedied by re-screwing it back in, or supporting the bottle from the bottom while carbonating. I now just do this by defaul.t and showed my husband how, and we've had no problems with it since. It's an inexpensive unit compared to competitors, so I really can't complain. We've already gone through 2 of the 60L cylinders because my husband likes to carbonate all his water on top of any soda we do. So it's getting heavy use. My only real complaint is that Philips doesn't make a glass or aluminum bottle that is compatible with this model. Using plastics aside, the bottles that go to this have a 24 month lifespan and then they're supposed to be replaced. Glass and aluminum would not. However, my primary reason for choosing the Philips over competitor brands was price, and the fact that it uses screw in style CO2 cylinders. One of the leading brands is swapping almost exclusively to quick connect style which are more expensive and more difficult to get from 3rd party makers. The screw in style the Philips uses are very easy to find from many different companies at a reasonable cost, and to find companies that do a cylinder exchange program.

Item is very flimsy, had to return for a refund as the gas bottle thread was faulty and would not connect. Disappointing as Philips is normally a quality trusted brand.

Well made/good price, takes sodastream co2 bottle but not the water bottles, Philips bottles are better imo A+++++

Lasted 6 months only ! Product was nice until one day that the bottle wouldn’t screw in anymore . I dont understand how such a simple system failed but it did .
