First, I am not being paid nor was I offered anything for this review. I hope that I can help others make an informed decision based on my previous experience with other brand carbonating machines and this one. I have had two different Sodastream machines but what I love about this one is that I can carbonate anything! I mean ANYTHING! I have carbonated plain water, flat soda, flat prosecco and OJ for a wonderful mimosa, and even Rose. I love it! Super easy to use, very nice footprint, light weight and easy to move around, and quality bottles. I use a local shop that offers discount CO2 exchange and if it ever becomes an issue I will use one of the online ones that does the same. The bottles are very tall but they fit in my refrigerator door so not an issue for me or I could use my adjustable shelves. Storage of the extra bottles are a little more difficult. I have to lay them down in a cabinet instead or store them in my wine cabinet. With my other machines, the first one lasted several years but it was a pain to move around and had a much larger footprint and I did not like the bottles. The second one only lasted a few months and same issue on bottles except for the stainless one. Bigger issue was that you could only carbonate water and then add flavorings. Not like I could re-carbonate my prosecco or soda. My only complaints about the FIZZpod machine is that I would love a stainless bottle cap and bottom (not plastic) for pure aesthetics especially when I am using this at a party on my bar top. I would happily pay a premium for that option. I will update if any issues arise but otherwise I love this machine!

I love this thing! I bought it because I was going through so many one-time use plastic bottles, and I didn't like the impact of that on the environment. This gadget is so easy to use and takes up very little space (unless you count all the bottles of flavored syrup I got to make my soda!). It's quick to make soda and very easy to change CO2 canisters. Yes, the tube that injects the gas is plastic, but if you're aware of this and its potential fragility, you can just operate the unit carefully. I use one hand to start setting the bottle on the base plate and the other to lift the lid/gas pump as I continue setting the bottle upright. Not hard to do.I read that some people were complaining about the long, slender shape of the bottles - that they don't fit in the fridge and that they fall over easily. That is true, but there's a very easy work-around. If you make a bottle of soda filled to the indicator line, the beverage fits very nicely in a 32oz bottle. I have a few empty Powerade bottles that have a nice wide mouth - it's very easy to pour the contents from the FizzPod bottle into the Powerade bottle without spilling or the use of a funnel. Then I put the Powerade bottle in the fridge and pour the soda into my Yeti tumbler as needed. Easy-peezie. Then I just rinse the FizzPod bottle out and turn it upside down to drip dry until I make the next batch. It's nice that they include so many bottles because I understand that they do wear out over time, so having 2 backups will keep me from having to purchase more bottles anytime soon.The only drawback to this, or any soda making machine, is the cost of the CO2 canisters. I did just see a video on how to fill them yourself, and as soon as I buy what I need to do this, I'm going to give it a try. That would be an incredible cost-savings!

I like the Fizzpod Soda Maker. It's very elegant and easy to use. I haven't used it to fizz flavored drinks but I like that this model can do so. I bought the "bundle" for the sole purpose of having 2 carbonator cartridges -- thinking that I could send one in for refills while using the other one. No downtime, right?! Well no because the manufacturer will only take returns for the both of them. Seriously, WTF! This is not made clear in the description. The whole purpose of having 2 is so that you never have to run out. Why would you need 2, if you need to use them both before getting a refill? It makes no sense whatsoever. You can save yourself a lot of money by not buying the "bundle."The other downside to this model is that the water bottles are very tall. Elegant, as I mentioned but may not fit in your refrigerator -- they work in mine as I have a wine rack and can lay them on their side. It's ok but take note to make sure that solution will work for you bacause warm bubbly water is just gross.

Didn’t come with co2 just empty bottles but you can buy it separate. I like this machine, space saver.

J'adore le fait d'avoir 3 bouteilles ultra légères. Cependant, si vous n'avez pas un grand évier ou un robinet flexible, ça peut être difficile à laver. Aussi, on a besoin d'une place haute dans la porte du frigo pour mettre la bouteille au froid. Sinon, c'est parfait!

Got this because we have a problem with bubbly drinks. Been through 3 sodastreams that all have broken over time. This unit is simple, solid, and easy to use. Co2 easy to find as it uses the same as sodastream. Mechanics are simple, not easily broken, and simple to use. Crazy amount of carbonization! Bottles are nice, but quite tall for the fridge.1 month in. Very happy with it. Awesome value, undercutting sodastream by around $40+.

The instructions are a bit thin for a novice, but it's easy to figure out. I have also discovered that I can control the degree of fizziness I want. The containers are too tall to stand in my fridge so I let them lie along the edge of a shelf and they don't leak.

No incluye el tanque que gasifica el lÃquido y lamentablemente en México es imposible comprarlo. Por esto no lo pude probar
