Thank you so much for the clear instructions - managed to get mine installed and working fine first go. No water blowups that I’ve heard everyone experiencing :)

[@michaelbayne2905]

Picked one up today in a second hand store barely used. Missing the power supply. Off tomorrow to get power cord. Excited to use it

[@michaelbayne2905]

My brother made me a power adapter. Therefore I don’t have to go look for one today. I have hooked it up and tried my first one touch and it works great. First thing I tried yes, was orange juice. Carbonated water to the amount of three orange juice containers, then added the frozen orange juice without pulp, mixed it up and wow it’s like a Snapple drink. Snapple O.J. O J Simpson would love this drink.

[@powsvalentine]

Why does the water keep spilling everywhere when I put the bottle in and press the button??

[@EverythingPractical]

Is it too full? Not sealed? Did you add syrup before carbonation?

[@SandySaunders9142]

Third time must be the charm. I finally got the bottle lined up the correct way! Yeah!!! Thank you for your helpful videos. Now on to my popcorn machine and its movie nite!

[@cc05jc]

My one touch worked well with the first co2 cartridge but the second one continued to carbonate the water even after the cycle was complete. I had a second new cartridge ($70 CDN fml) but when i switched cannisters the continuous carbonation did not happen. If this happens to you exchange the cannister and you will be good

[@kazyboo5774]

OK I'm gonna try again. I tried twice and got water everywhere, as in your demo!lol Then when I removed the bottle the gas kept coming out, even after I unplugged it. The problem is, the picture instructions are so vague, as is their mini video online. It didn't show how to put the gas cylinder in, where the power cable goes or do you press the button once or keep your finger pressed down? I didn't know how long to keep the bottle inside before removing....Oh well. I'll persevere. Thanks for your helpful vid!

One more tip here, if you are into juicing, vegetable juicing especially, then carbonating them will prevent oxidation and will keep the juice fresh.

[@susanmiller6023]

Can you show the amount of carbonation for each level. I got my first sodastream in 1982 and I'm on my 4th now but the water goes flat quite quickly even with new gas and new bottles and I end up throwing so much flavoured water away. So I'm intrigued with the levels of fizz.

[@ShahabSheikhzadeh]

today I learned sodastream has been around forever.

[@MyFreshgirl]

Very nice review. Thank you. Do you need to clean the probe? Or how to keep the probe clean?

[@EverythingPractical]

In over 4 years of ownership, I have not needed to clean the probe 😉 I havent thought about this until now but, since the gas is an acid, it must be keeping the probe clean 🤓

[@npolite22]

Just note that the Fizzi doesn't have a high PSI similar to older models. This one has 116PSI vs the older ones which have a 145PSI.

[@hadassah8549]

Thank God for your video. It came with no directions and I had no idea I needed to screw in the CO2 cylinder🤣🤣🤣🤣 I subscribed to your channel. I think I am going to need your expertise🤣

[@willpoko8631]

Maybe like 10 minutes after I carbonate my drink, and seal it tight in the bottle, for some reason it looses its carbonation. How can I fix this?

[@EverythingPractical]

Strange it looses it so fast. Maybe carbonate more?

[@JOStanevich]

What is the "correct" way of loading the bottle to the machine? Sometimes it works; sometimes it leaks all over.

[@EverythingPractical]

Have a look at my other video for the soda stream, perhaps it helps 🙂

[@patrickrumley8096]

The outcome seems related to how tightly to affix the water bottle to the top of the bottle dock. It would help if the product instructions clearly showed how to set the bottle in the dock to avoid the overbubbling mess. I have now succeded one time to get it right after taking more care to fit the bottle snuggly into the top of its dock. I hope this is a repeatable solution; otherwise, back to Bed Bath and Beyond it goes.

[@laraarx8598]

Great review, thanks! Can you put the water bottles in the dishwasher?

[@EverythingPractical]

Yes you can!

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

What is the voltage of the wall power supply? It should say something like "9V DC @ 0.5A". I'd like to know if I can replace the wall supply with batteries. I'll know what kind of batteries I need from the powersupply description... Thanks!

[@EverythingPractical]

Interesting. Output is rated 24 VDC, 1.67A Good luck, let us know how you go with a battery powered Soda Stream !

[@jasonmcintosh2632]

@@EverythingPractical Wow... That's a lot. I guess they need that to run some solenoid. Thanks for the information. That's not something easily obtainable with a battery... Three 9V batteries would be 27V... but I don't think they could sustain 1.67 amps for very long. Seven 3.7V batteries would be 26 volts... they could definitely handle the load long enough... That's a lot of batteries though.

[@dbm5540]

About how many bottles can you make per c02 cylinder? {as shown} I would use the 3 setting.

[@EverythingPractical]

The cylinder says 60 liters, so about 70 bottles full. I normally use the lowest setting as it provides quite a lot of carbonation at that level already

Hi, the CO2 lasts about 60 bottles, depending how much you like to carbonate the water. I change mine when the fizzies start getting low, which sounds like where you are.

[@OntarioAndrews415]

If you are buying bottled water for your sodastream then you are pretty much defeating the purpose of NOT using a lot of bottles for the health of the planet. I'm just saying. Also, he forgot the part about pushing that clear plastic part forward so that you can place the bottle in there and then most it back. It's all in the details. Also, if you are using tap water from the sink and it's unfiltered perhaps let the water run for several second before filling the bottle.

[@lieke1987vj]

Can you use glass bottles in this machine?

[@EverythingPractical]

If it fits, locks, seals and is rated for the pressure, yes.

[@jojorussell9336]

Have you carbonated flavored bottled water? Success?

[@EverythingPractical]

Hello, I have not but, this could be something to try 🙂

[@moonsnugs]

Do you recommend the water be cold before it’s carbonated or does that not matter?

[@EverythingPractical]

Hi! Technically speaking, colder water absorbs the CO2 better, but I use both with room temperature water and dont noticea difference. I prefer colder water so I always try to have chilled water ready in the fridge. I hope this helps!

[@smit17xp]

nice

[@bobjcookbbjc]

Great Review I really what one. Does it money or just convenient

[@EverythingPractical]

Worth it 100% ! If you want to check money saved, run a quick calculation how much 60 bottles of carbonated water will cost you. If it's less than the refill CO2 bottle (normally and $15-20), then it worth it financially as well as convince 😃 Hope this helps!

[@Khaladas]

Ok so mine just explodes water just as you demonstrate 'when you don't put the bottle in correctly' . It's not at all clear the correct way to put the bottle in....

[@EverythingPractical]

Yikes, I know that's no fun! It is kind of hard to demonstrate how to be sure it is in correctly. Unfortunately this is an issue with a few other soda stream models as well..

[@Khaladas]

@@EverythingPractical I finally figured it out, the bottle needs to be pushed up and into the unit so it's hovering over the base. If it's resting on the base, it doesn't create a proper seal and you get the explosion.

Unfortunately I haven't had this issue.. I can only think if the bottle is not clicked in all the way or the CO2 is not in properly, perhaps it will not let you run it. Maybe check this and if this is all fine, unplug if from the wall, wait a minute, plug it in again and try again. Let me know if any of this helps or of you find a solution :)

Have you tried topo chico drink? Can you try it and let me know if the intensity is comparable.

[@EverythingPractical]

Hello, I have not tried it. If you are looking for lots of carbonation, this soda stream goves you that on level 3. It's way too much for me. Even level 2 is really high. I typically only use level 1.

[@dmx71234]

@@EverythingPractical please try topo chico and let me know if it compares. Thanks!

[@EverythingPractical]

Hello! Unfortunately here in Switzerland I can not find it. Seems I am only able to order a 24 pack that would cost $300. Im sure it's good, but not practical for me to order this in ;) Being bit of a water expert myself, I can tell you that the combination of minerals in the water give it the flavor. The addition of CO2 gives it that fun fizziness we all love. Even if I tried Topo Chico, I wouldn't be able to achieve the exact taste with only the soda stream. I would need water with similar mineral concentrations as well. But I imaging you are more after the level of carbonation. I can't imagine Topo chico would add more carbonation than the level 3 setting for the soda stream because this is already high. If you want more, you can cycle it again. If it is less than the lowest setting there are 2 tricks. 1) after it's done carbonating, shake the bottle before opening to gas off the CO2, and 2) you can stop the dosage of the CO2 by pressing the button again after you have done some trial and error. I hope this helps a little. If I ever have the pleasure to try Topo Chico mineral water at a reasonable price, I absolutely will!

[@christachrista17]

Top Chico holds its carbonation way better than making your own. However I use mine on 3 and then hit it again on 1 to get the same super burpy water experience 😉

While your point is important indeed, what she probably meant was if you can add anything else to the water besides the original syrups from SodaStream. And the answer is of course yes, it can be whatever you like, other syrup brands or just simply lemons, oranges, other kinfs of fruit... it is not limited in any way.
