Philips Sparkling Water Maker Soda Maker Soda Streaming Machine for Carbonating with 1L Carbonating Bottle, Seltzer Fizzy Water Maker, Compatible with Any Screw-in 60L CO2 Carbonator(NOT Included)

I have just filled my 31st bottle. The liquid is still nice and fizzy, and no sign of it running out of CO2. So I'm now saving money, not having to buy bottled.And I can now use my local Cotswold Spring water straight from the spring.

Been using a Sodastream Crystal sparkling water maker for the last 4 years. Just replaced it with this product. It seems to work well, it is less complicated and so easier to clean and it doesn't take up as much kitchen space. The litre bottle size is a good solution, more practical on fridge space than the Sodastream 60cl size coz I used to need two bottles to keep the flow of cooled water running. Now one will do. The screw in gas bottles from the Sodastream fit fine - yes they do!. I don't expect it'll last as long as the Crystal but then it's less than half the price.

I received my carboniser today but unfortunately the box did not include the CO2 canister as described. It is really difficult to get support on this - I have emailed Philips directly to see whether they can help. If not then unfortunately I will have to return the item. It looks very good though, sturdy and also looks very easy to use (obv can't use it without the Co2 canister).

I thought there should be a gas cylinder to generate the sparkling water. It is really no use without.

Not only is it not as advertised (it will not fizz anything - just water) it has lost pressure so it no longer carbonates water. It now only created carbon flavoured flat water. It’s not a good product. Go for something else.
