Pros and cons

Instructions not as clear as I would like but there are many online videos to help
Con:
Takes a few attempts to get the right balance of bubbles but that's not surprising
Once I had found an online video with clearer instructions it was really easy and now I use it every day.

Exchangeable gas tanks

Con:
Hoeveelheid bubbels valt erg tegen
Lang niet zo veel bubbels als bronwater in de winkel. Wordt wel als vervanger bestempeld in de reclame.

I would rate the machine 8/10, overall good value.
Pros:
Lightweight
Pros:
Condensed equipment/little amount of parts
Con:
Taste
Con:
Must use with provided bottles
So far I’ve enjoyed the product. I needed to look up a video on how to insert the water bottles vs following the pictures of instructions. I also didn’t realize you can only use the machine with the provided water bottles

It makes great tasting soda water
Pros:
Makes really good soda water
Pros:
Easy to use
Pros:
Two glass bottles included
Con:
The locking mechanism could be easier to operate
I really like it. It's easy to use and makes great soda water when you want it. So, the gas is always as strong or weak as you like it.
You get two glass bottles of around 600ml each with it and a CO2 bottle.
