SodaStream Terra Sparkling Water Maker Bundle (Black), with CO2, DWS Bottles, and Bubly Drops Flavors

Okay. I recognize right away that this is going to be an expensive purchase. Not only is the initial price quite high, but carbon bottles don't last forever, and I foresee that being a major long term purchase. That said, I've used the soda stream consistently for a month now and haven't run out of the first carbonation container, so it has good life.The product is very easy to assemble with clear instructions. It did take me a second try to learn the water has to be up to the second line before it works. Not sure what both lines are for, but the drink will only lightly carbonate if it's only filled to the first line.This kit comes with a pretty large bottle, which works for my purposes, though I will eventually invest in buying a few smaller ones for lighter use. It works well and is a much healthier alternative to soda. Obviously, it's not 100% healthy, but I'd be adding the flavoring to my water anyways (I just use a cheap water flavoring from walmart) and it helps me drink more water.Definitely a bit expensive, but I foresee getting a lot of use from this because I love carbonated drinks!

The media could not be loaded. I wanted to update to my review because I initially encountered some issues with the SodaStream Terra sparkling water maker. At first, I wasn’t getting the desired level of carbonation, and I thought the machine wasn’t performing as expected. However, after some troubleshooting and reading through the user manual more carefully, I realized that I was using the machine incorrectly.Once I understood the proper techniques, my experience with the SodaStream Terra completely changed for the better. The key is to follow the instructions precisely and ensure that the water is cold before carbonating it. I also learned that gentle, short presses of the carbonation button work best for achieving the perfect level of fizziness.Now that I’m using the SodaStream Terra correctly, I can confidently say that it’s an incredible appliance. The sparkling water it produces is top-notch, and I love being able to customize the carbonation level to my preference. It has become a beloved addition to my kitchen, and I appreciate the eco-friendly aspect even more now that I’m reducing my plastic waste. It feels great to know that I’m making a positive impact on the environment while enjoying my favorite sparkling water.The versatility of the SodaStream Terra is also impressive. I can add different flavors to my sparkling water, giving me the freedom to experiment and create a wide range of delicious beverages. It has certainly made staying hydrated a lot more enjoyable.In terms of design, the SodaStream Terra looks sleek and modern on my countertop. The compact size doesn’t take up much space, making it a perfect fit for my small kitchen.Since getting the SodaStream Terra, I’ve also noticed that I’m saving money in the long run. Instead of buying expensive bottles of sparkling water, I can now create my own at a fraction of the cost.Overall, I highly recommend the SodaStream Terra to anyone who loves sparkling water or wants a more sustainable way to enjoy their beverages. It’s a game-changer in the kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier with my purchase!

This was a gift for someone and has been greatly appreciated! It's used on the daily and has had no issues. It's easy to use, doesn't take up much room, great that there's no cords to fool with. The color wasn't a matter in the slightest, but the blue color is pretty. It's very light weight when the co2 isn't it in

Came exactly as described. We drink a good amount of sparkling water and this creates the same good taste from the cans you buy, except better!!!! Tastes more fresh and love that you can control the amount of bubbly. I was wondering how complicated the CO2 cartridge would but it was very easy to insert into the machine. We’ve only been using it for a week but definitely recommend.

So far, the sodastream has held up well. I would say that this has been worth having in our household, as it’s helped us save money by spending less on canned beverages, and it is nice to have to avoid having to run to the store last minute for some fun drinks. The CO2 replacement is available at our local grocery store, so getting new canisters hasn’t been a hassle either.My two complaints are:1. The carbonation isn’t as crisp as I’d like2. The flavors are usually just okayI am usually pretty generous with pressing the button because I love a crispy soda, and it still never has as much crisp as I’d like. They recommend 3-5 presses for one second each, and I usually go with 5 slightly longer presses. I read that the model with the lever may do a better job with carbonation, but I haven’t tried that to be able to compare, so if you like crispy drinks, maybe do some extra research.I’ve also enjoyed the bubly flavors, but the sodas tend to just be so-so. The sparkling water tastes just like I’d expect of a canned sparkling water; however, the sodas are usually too sweet and taste more like artificial sweetener (even if they’re not a sugar free version). They are not bad as a mixer, but I’d rather have a name brand can or bottle of wild cherry Pepsi over one I made with my sodastream.
