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)

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

I love this product because it helps me to make my drinks more conveniently where I don't have to go to the store and buy pop or other drinks to satisfy or quench my thirst.

Bought this to fill in while I chased the warranty replacement of a much more expensive brand. So far it works exceptionally well, has great fizz and like the slightly larger than the old bottles. It's all plastic, at least externally, so expect it will wear out at some point, but for the price (even including having to buy extra proprietary bottles) I am quite satisfied.

A los tres días empezó a fugar agua por la parte de arriba, ya había comprado tanques de gas y botellas extras, pude regresara máquina pero no todo lo demás y fue más caro que sólo la máquina.. ahora buscaré una máquina que sea compatible con las botellas y los tanques que tengo

After sifting through various reviews here I realized the reviews were covering multiple models, I wanted to clarify that this review specifically focuses on the **ADD4901GROQ/37** Phillips. **Initial Impressions** One important note: **this unit does not come with CO₂ canisters**. While this is likely due to shipping restrictions, I can see how it might be an inconvenience for some. If Philips included the canister, it could take longer to arrive, and most buyers would probably opt for a quicker way to obtain one anyway. That aside, the **compact and lightweight design** makes it incredibly easy to store, even in tight spaces. No need to clear out a dedicated area in your kitchen—this fits wherever you have room. **Build Quality & Usability** Some concerns have been raised regarding the **build quality**, with reports that the materials feel somewhat flimsy. However, given the simplicity of the operation—it’s entirely manual with no electricity involved—it should hold up well under normal use. The **push-button carbonation system** is straightforward: press the button **2–3 times**, and you’re done. Unless you're handing it off to kids who might be a little rough with it, durability shouldn't be a major concern. Personally, I appreciate the **no-electric design**, since it means you can place it virtually anywhere without worrying about power access. It’s an efficient and practical choice. **CO₂ Canister Options** I ordered a pack of **two Simplisoda CO₂ cartridges** from Amazon for around **$42**. After some research, I found the same bottles from the manufacturer for about **$43** and ordered a couple of extras, ensuring I wouldn’t have to wait on cylinder delivery—which can take **a week or longer** from both sources. For those looking for faster options, Amazon offers overnight delivery, but **at a premium—$62 for two canisters**. The reason I mention this is because **Simplisoda offers a canister exchange program**, which is significantly cheaper than other brands. You can exchange empty canisters for **$12.99 each via their app** or **$13.99 via their website**, and they claim to accept **any brand**. They send a **return shipping box** with new canisters, making the process seamless. However, be sure to get the correct **attachment method**—this Philips carbonator uses a **screw-in connector**, while some brands use a **quick-connect system**. **A Small But Notable Issue** One issue that does stand out is the **water bottle cap seal**—it’s prone to falling out easily. This can be frustrating when handling or cleaning the bottle. Currently, Philips doesn’t seem to offer **replacement lids or seals**, only extra bottles. To work around this, I picked up **a couple of extra bottles**, assuming I’d need them anyway, and plan to check out a hardware store to find a matching seal. **Final Thoughts** If you’re looking for a **simple, compact, and easy-to-use water carbonator**, this is a solid option—especially if you prefer a model that doesn’t require electricity. While the **build quality could be improved**, it should be fine as long as it's not subjected to rough use. The **lack of included CO₂ canisters** and **water cap seal issues** are minor inconveniences but can be worked around with a little planning. Additionally, if you want to save on CO₂ canisters, the **Simplisoda exchange program** might be worth considering. Just make sure to check that your canisters have the **correct screw-in connector**.
