E-TERRA Sparkling Water Maker Bundle (Black), with CO2, Carbonating Bottles, and bubly Drops Flavors

Got this as a Christmas gift for one of my boys who was buying flavored sparkling water like it was free! Just finally got the feedback that he absolutely loves it. He said it was super easy to install the CO2 and use with the included bottle. He loves that there are extra bottles and an extra CO2 so he can have a good supply of waters. He likes the cherry and lime flavors but said putting them together is the best! He really likes the 3 levels of carbonation so you can choose depending on what you’re going for and says that on all of the levels the carbonation lasts a long time when stored in the bottles! I definitely made the right choice getting this for him! He’s anxious to try the different flavors…so many though, what to code next!!

We first came across the SodaStream soda makes in Europe and bought one over 9 months ago. It's an excellent product, and we've not had a single issue with it in over 9 months of pretty much daily use. As the level of carbonation is adjustable you get the amount of bubbles you want. The whole carbonation process is quick and easy with pretty much no mess. Just don't fill the bottles above the recommended fill line. . . . Also, you won't be generating a lot of plastic bottles that are just going to end up in the environment creating more microplastic waste. I suppose the only downside is that we're no longer spending a lot of money to buy Pellegrino sparkling water. Sorry Amazon.

Cutting out sugars but love my bubbles. This product is great because it has preset bubble level options from light to extra :) typical soda seems to meet the second level but I love a bit more so the highest level is great. Many flavors to choose from and they satisfy even my pickiest family members with them stating they taste like the originals. Trash is reduced due to reusable bottles as well. All around a great product for anyone who likes great a nice fizzy drink and just plain sparkling water.

Just arrived today & I already made Pepsi zero & Mug root beer Zero & both couldn't be easier or taste better. I started on the middle setting as a couple have mentioned it seemed closest to regular bottled soda to them but mine seemed overly fizzy so next bottle will be on the lowest setting & see how that is. The unit is slender & light, made a little heavier but more stable with a CO2 bottle inserted, which also couldn't possibly be any easier. Actually, since I didn't read the instruction manual, the hardest part of getting that first bottle made was inserting the bottle as I was trying to screw it in. OK, you've laughed enough. Once I gave the inside of the bottle top area a look I realized it was just a push-in connection & that worked as simply as its designed to. Now its time to order some Dew, so glad they have original & Zero!

I'm not sure what the hype is for about this product or that there ever even was hype. I remember it being advertised like it was so cool and seeing it in stores. It's not a bad product. But I have some major criticisms. A. The power cord design is bad. Throw it in the bin. I understand they were trying to be clever and minimalistic by having the AC plug nested in the bottom of the device with "clips" that guide the cord along the bottom and out the back, but, they should have just put the power port on the back or somewhere else you can't see. It comes loose way too easily which shouldn't even be possible. B. This specific package gives you 3 bottles instead of the standard 1. There's no point. The bottles do not seal the carbonation in. I filled up two of them, sealed them and put them in the fridge. In less than 2 days all the carbonation was gone. So, the point must be to fill them up, get the water cold, then carbonate it, then use it immediately. I can get cold water without keeping it in the fridge. C. Sometimes even if you fill the water below the fill line, when you carbonate it will spew water everywhere if you don't screw the bottle in exactly the right amount. Therein lies the problem because the nozzle isn't actually designed to screw in very well. Not a dealbreaker though. At this price point (~$120) it's still valuable as a carbonator. I'm not sure what differentiates it from the cheaper, non-electronic version though. Truth be told, I also have a Ninja Thirsti and I feel like the carbonation is better but it it's also definitely more of a hassle than this product.
