SodaStream Gaia Sparkling Water Maker, Black

Don't listen to the people who say this item leaks, it doesn't for me it worked great.

Very simple to use, doesn't require any electricity either! I usually carbonate my water right before I mix some Kool-Aid powder in with it. Makes those drinks taste like a soft drink. Highly recommend this especially as the price of snacks continue to rise!

Love it

Bought my first Soda Stream in 2020. Loved it for the instant carbonation, value, and convenience. When my v1 died in late 2023 I bought the Gaia model. I truly hate this model and am now looking for a replacement. As others have noted, this leaks everywhere. I could bear with that, but the real problem is that it simply doesn't work. After pumping the carbonation 3x more than what is recommended, I see bunch of frothy bubbles, but they instantly fade away and I am left with flat water. I like flavored drinks and now I am just paying a lot of money for flavored flat water. Really hope there is a better model that is affordable that I can find soon.

Not a bad replacement for an older sodastream. I had the old screw in canister s that were all full. The sodastream bottles and sree in canisters fit just fine so very satisfied with that. It just doesn't seem to have the same carbonization, but work just fine for sparkling tap water.

Love my SodaStream! I am a huge consumer of seltzer and I would always run out. This solves that problem. I use my SodaStream every day and enjoy that I don't have to run to the store to get seltzer. I haven't used flavoring drops yet to make sodas, but I am going to give it a try. I like that I can control what goes into my water. This helps with making sure I drink more water throughout the day. The carbonation is perfect, and I can go a little lighter or add more if I want. It sits out on my counter and fits perfectly under my cabinet. Overall, i would recommend this!

This is the best, most-improved model so far. And it will save you a BUNDLE!

As the cheapest option, its good for if youre on the fence about whether you want a carbonizer. Its pretty easy to use, but with it being the cheapest option; its rather light plastic feels cheap, unpowered so you can place it anywhere, but if you overdo the CO2 you can rupture the gasket rendering it inoperable. Had gone through two of these with a good amount but not insane amount of use. Just be aware of what CO2 canister you use, as theres two kind you can order and if you put in the wrong version, you bust the CO2 intake as well. If you know you want one of these devices in your kitchen, and can spend a few extra dollars, I would recommend one of their other models. If youre still on the fence and want it for the occasional use, this is as good option.

Works well.

What an utterly and completely idiotic design. Before, the cannister screwed in, and the soda bottle was quick release. Now, the soda bottle screws in and the cannister quick releases??? Why? Why? Why? What absolute brick thought that up? You change the cannister maybe once a month, what the hell is the point of that being quick release? Every time you use the bottle it's wet, either from filling it up or from the condensation of the cold water, so you're fumbling with it trying to get it to screw and unscrew and it's a complete pain in the ass. And every single model is now like that!! What the hell for! Just to force us all to buy the new cannisters? Is that literally it? After one of the cheap crappy plastic pieces this thing is made of breaks I'm never buying a sodastream again. I'd rather go back to lugging home cases of club soda.

I think I read that the machine leaks before I bought it, and it does. But sometimes when I hold the bottle while I press the button, it leaks less. You might want to place paper towels or a bag or something underneath it before you use the machine If you’re expecting the same drinking experience as buying a Coca Cola in a store, it’s not the same. But I recommend it. It’s cordless and it still is satisfying

A great alternative to constantly buying bubbly. The machine is wireless and comes with the cylinder to carbonate the water.
