Sodastream Twin Pack Fuse Carbonating Water Bottles 0.5 Litre for Sparkling Water Maker, BPA Free, for Spirit, Spirit One Touch, Power, Genesis, Jet, Play, Source, 2 x Reusable Bottles (White & Black)

I was looking for something to carry my fizzy drinks - i dont have a soda stream.Looking at all the containers these were the best value and build. The metal bottles only carry water, i like to have orange coke etc so needed plastic.So a 50p 2lt bottle of drink fills these bottles up a few of times, beats paying the £1.20 for a bottle for drinks.The bottles are very strong, the lids secure nicely with no leaks.They add no horrible tastes to the drinks like metal bottles.They keep my drinks fizzy as long as the bottle is dry.They are really nice to drink from.Dont wash them in the dishwaser, just wash and rinse by hand and you will be fine.

Nice bottles and easy to clean, but don't use boiling hot water in them as I ruined one.

These bottles are great to use with the modern soda streams. Fizzy water on tap is great. The reason I bought the 500ml bottles was because I found the 1000ml too big. You have to pretty much fill all these bottles within 2" of the top to the main level, otherwise the fizzing spout on the soda stream won't be submerged in the water to fizz it. Fizzy water never keeps for long, so I personally find that 1000ml of water that's been fizzed is too much. I add mine to squash mostly. The 500ml bottles when filled is enough for a 1 pint glass of drink for me, whereas the 1000ml bottles I was throwing the other half away. You can't half fill the 1000ml bottles with water because the sod stream nozzle won't be submerged. I realised I'd be using more gas to fizz the larger bottle as well, so for this reason I find this 500ml size much better for my usage and drink volume requirements.

So if you're like me and you needed a new sodastream bottle or 2 and you see they have the x2 1 litre bottles available, you buy them assuming they fit your manual machine and find out that this is a probable coy for the company to make you go out and buy a new machine or if you have to now send the bottles back and exchange for the tiny 500ml bottles but you really don't want to, you wish you could find where to get the old 1 litre bottles but when you search Amazon you don't know if you'll be getting the correct one.... Do this next bit of you don't want to spend more money or waste time or care what the machine will look like after, what I did (pic attached, should have cleaned it before taking a pic lol) but solder off the front of the bottom (make sure cannister is NOT connected when doing this(I didn't have it connected but just incase)) after that's done the new bottles will fit! (Disclaimer - I am not a professional, this was a DIY opportunity I seen and took the chance and it worked for me, make sure it's only plastic on the front and nothing else before soldering) Good luck!

I got these as spares for my genesis soda stream. Very mixed reviews on if it fit or not. They don't fit if you leave the drip tray in, as they are skinny and long compared to the ones that came with my machine.I took the drip tray out and fiddled for a split second putting it a certain angle (stress free) and it fit in perfectly. For the price they was im happy. If you can't be bothered to fiddle then they ain't ideal.

Very sturdyOrdered two more as soda stream only came with one bottle which hubby lost somewhere in the ether!Useful to use for transport liquids and using to fizz up our home made cider.Seems expensive but after the initial coat this is a more cost effective way of drinking fizzy drinks

Good product

This is another "out of the box" exhaustive product review based upon critical product examination. The following points are of note:1) the product is sold as a pair;2) the shape is...well, er…..bottle shaped;3) each bottle is designed with a whole at one end;4) if you put in on its side it will always roll down inclines;5) each bottle has a sophisticated moulded dual-purpose screw thread surrounding the hole. The dual purpose being fitting a cap or fitting to the main pressurization device;6) both cap and pressurization devices are stand alone state of the art equipment;7) Please be aware there is a design limitation in that you cannot fit both devices at the same time to a single bottle;8) after pressurization the gas will escape from the bottle in an uncontrolled manner unless you take your time smoothly and slowly unscrewing the attached device from the bottle;9) The bottle walls are constructed of a clear plastic material so that the user can see if there is a liquid inside - a clever touch by the manufacturer.All in all deserves the 5* as there really is nothing but quality in this product.
