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

Have had this for a few years now and it's still working great after my soda stream brand kicked the bucket

ما عطاني نفس تجربة المشروب الغازي .. الغاز المضاف بسرعه بديروح وطعمه غريب

Tal y como lo necesitaba. Muy útil y práctico. Llego muy rápido

Item is very flimsy, had to return for a refund as the gas bottle thread was faulty and would not connect. Disappointing as Philips is normally a quality trusted brand.

So far so good. I have run into the issue some folks have talked about with the vent getting stuck open, but I discovered that only seems to happen if the seal is not good on the bottle. This can be remedied by re-screwing it back in, or supporting the bottle from the bottom while carbonating. I now just do this by defaul.t and showed my husband how, and we've had no problems with it since. It's an inexpensive unit compared to competitors, so I really can't complain. We've already gone through 2 of the 60L cylinders because my husband likes to carbonate all his water on top of any soda we do. So it's getting heavy use. My only real complaint is that Philips doesn't make a glass or aluminum bottle that is compatible with this model. Using plastics aside, the bottles that go to this have a 24 month lifespan and then they're supposed to be replaced. Glass and aluminum would not. However, my primary reason for choosing the Philips over competitor brands was price, and the fact that it uses screw in style CO2 cylinders. One of the leading brands is swapping almost exclusively to quick connect style which are more expensive and more difficult to get from 3rd party makers. The screw in style the Philips uses are very easy to find from many different companies at a reasonable cost, and to find companies that do a cylinder exchange program.
