This product is our choice for a sustainable sparkling water maker.
Pros and cons
According to our sparkling water maker expert
The SodaStream includes 2 bottles, so you can easily make sparkling water or cool water beforehand.
The casing is partly made from stainless steel, which makes the sparkling water machine extra durable and sturdy.
The bottles are made of glass, so you can easily clean them in the dishwasher and they don't wear.
The glass bottles are quite large and heavy to take with you on the go.
The manufacturer's warranty only applies when you use the original SodaStream bottles.
Description
Turn your tap water into sparkling water with the SodaStream Crystal Megapack + 2 Carafes. At the touch of a button, you pump carbon dioxide into the water. The longer you press the button, the more bubbles you make. Make normal sparkling water or experiment with your homemade syrup, cola, orange, or iced tea. With the sparkling water maker, you'll never carry heavy shopping bags with bottles of water back home. This is good for your back, your wallet, and the environment. You can make 60 liters of sparkling water with the included CO¿ cylinder. The included glass carafes simply go into the dishwasher after use.

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.

No more plastic!
Pros:
Exchangeable gas tanks
Con:
Learning how much gas you need to add can take a while
It took a while to figure out how to get the right amount of bubbles but I'm finally getting rid of the plastic water bottles.

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.

No more plastic bottles is a win!
Pros:
No plastic bottles anymore
Pros:
Easy to use
Pros:
Not to cumbersome
The device is well designed but if i’m being completely honest I think it should be a bit sturdier. Ours broke down twice in 1year time and had to be replaced.
