Soda Stream Drink Maker

I have been drinking sparkling water for quite a long time now as I find a lot of the juices or sparkling drinks too sugary and water a bit too bland. I am the person that you see in the supermarket filling her trolley up with umpteenth 2 litres bottles of sparkling water and then struggling to push it. Well I was. One day, I was loading up as usual when a lady told me that she used to do this but she now had a sodastream and made her own sparkling water at home. I smiled and agreed that it would be a good idea whilst still filling my trolley up. I put this comment at the back of my mind but it kept on resurfacing every time I went shopping so I came home one day ...  Read the complete review

Everyone has heard of Soda Stream, and we have two of their drinks’ makers. The old version which is slim line and only takes one sizes (500ml) glass bottles and the new “Classic” model which takes 1/4 Litre, ½ Litre and 1 Litre Plastic Bottles. The Soda Stream company started in 1903 and their first machine was called the “Prince of Wales” and was only found in Rich Homes. The 80's saw the “Get Busy with the Fizzy” ads on the TV and it seemed that every home had one (Except ours). Our first machine (the old-fashioned one) was a Charity Shop Bargain at just £1 including a gas cylinder and two glass ...  Read the complete review

I’m sure you’ve heard of Soda Stream, perhaps you even have one or know someone who has. Or perhaps you did have one, maybe in the 80’s seduced by the supremely irritating ‘get busy with the fizzy’ advertising campaign. However, is it my imagination or are less and less people using them. For a number of years now my local Sainsbury has not stocked any soda stream products. Imagine my shock, when researching this, to find that Boots had stopped as well. I am convinced that this could possibly be one of the biggest marketing flops of the last decade. Lets start at the beginning ...  Read the complete review

A machine that is useful for just about everybody, whether you like fizzy pop or want mixers to go with your alcohol. We have had a Soda Stream since 1984 and it is still working. B.C. These were the years before children when we used to make dry ginger ale, tonic, lemonade and cola to mix with spirits. W.C. These are the current years with children where we make all kinds of fizzy drinks to guzzle. Of course W.C. also stands for where you will end up if you drink too much lemonade. Simple to use.. You have a selection of different sized plastic bottles which you fill to the marked waterline with tap water. You then locate the top of the bottle ...  Read the complete review

This product has introduced me to dooyoo as it came up on a search to find refills for my soda stream. Keener to read reviews rather than write them! but I feel I must just add that it is now almost impossible to get the gas canister for any soda stream appliance refilled! I used to get mine at Tescos, Wilkinsons or my local independant ironmongers but none of them now swap an empty gas for a full one as they used to. I had a help line number for sodastream (I`m sorry but I discarded this!) and they gave me ONE supplier for the whole county of Leicestershire and its about 30 miles away! She did try to sell me a new model that I could purchase all sorts of gismos for ...  Read the complete review
