Gaia Sparkling Water Maker, Black

Works better than I expected

Don't listen to the people who say this item leaks, it doesn't for me it worked great.

Very easy to use and makes some strong bubbly water (you can adjust how strong!). Just be sure to buy the right canister for it.

Just got this, hope it works as expected, price was very good compared to other vendors.

My old machine used old bottles that they no longer make so I had to replace a perfectly working “machine” (because it’s just an elaborate valve) for an expensive new one as well as buy new bottles. I have a stockpile of CO2 canisters but I found out this machine only uses “quick connect” canisters instead of twist lock canisters I have so I have to lug my stockpile back to the store and attempt to exchange them. My son got a SodaStream Fizz and Go metal bottle and, you guessed it, the bottle doesn’t fit this new machine nor my old one! Why make all these different machines and different bottles that aren’t compatable with each other? I’ve reached out to the manufacturer to see what I need to exchange, refund or throw away just so I can have a dang drink! Ar this rate I’d rather skip the headache and go back to regular soda. Serves me right for trying to give my family a healthier alternative. One star for the soda because when everything was working perfect several years ago when this product first came out the soda was delicious and healthier than normal soda.

So, it does what it says it does. I tried the single packet that are like crystal light and it doesn’t mix well because the water is cold. When l put it in the bottle and mix it up with the machine it is fine. I think the liquid drops would taste and mix better with the cold water. I did 5 to 6 pumps and it was strong, you have to twist it off slowly or it will come spring out like a coke that was shook.. l will update soon when l use it more. I think people who are having issues with leaks are holding down the button to long. It's a learning curve, bc it happened to me. I like mine strong, so l pump two times and let the bubbles settle, then l pump two more time and let the bubbles settle, and thenmore l do one more pump. When l'm done l take it off slowly, so it don't come spilling out. That has worked for me. The only issue l'm having is finding the right flavor that taste good. If anything changes l will update. I might try to do a video.

Love my SodaStream! I am a huge consumer of seltzer and I would always run out. This solves that problem. I use my SodaStream every day and enjoy that I don't have to run to the store to get seltzer. I haven't used flavoring drops yet to make sodas, but I am going to give it a try. I like that I can control what goes into my water. This helps with making sure I drink more water throughout the day. The carbonation is perfect, and I can go a little lighter or add more if I want. It sits out on my counter and fits perfectly under my cabinet. Overall, i would recommend this!

Muy bueno lo recomiendo

Works well.

I was tired of going to the dollar store four times a week for soda water, but I have precious little counter space for a big Soda Stream. Thankfully, this one is the narrowest one they sell, and fits between the microwave and the fridge. Easy peasy.

J'aime beaucoup mon sodastream merci amazon

What an utterly and completely idiotic design. Before, the cannister screwed in, and the soda bottle was quick release. Now, the soda bottle screws in and the cannister quick releases??? Why? Why? Why? What absolute brick thought that up? You change the cannister maybe once a month, what the hell is the point of that being quick release? Every time you use the bottle it's wet, either from filling it up or from the condensation of the cold water, so you're fumbling with it trying to get it to screw and unscrew and it's a complete pain in the ass. And every single model is now like that!! What the hell for! Just to force us all to buy the new cannisters? Is that literally it? After one of the cheap crappy plastic pieces this thing is made of breaks I'm never buying a sodastream again. I'd rather go back to lugging home cases of club soda.

I think I read that the machine leaks before I bought it, and it does. But sometimes when I hold the bottle while I press the button, it leaks less. You might want to place paper towels or a bag or something underneath it before you use the machine If you’re expecting the same drinking experience as buying a Coca Cola in a store, it’s not the same. But I recommend it. It’s cordless and it still is satisfying
