really? We got one in the 80's but quickly realised how expensive it was to use. Hopefully the costs have come down.

I have heard the latest models are good, If you have children might be cheaper than buying shop stuff, but then again all that sugar is not good for kids.

I bought soda water all the time. Taste exactly the same. SHould be cheaper now. Plus gives me a reason to drink more water and prevents me from drinking soft drinks.

We had one in the late 1980's - early 1990's. Glass bottles then.. We used to just make the soda water without any flavourings also... adults & kids used it alot.

I think I received it as a birthday present.. probably meant someone else in the family wanted one so gave it to me for a present.

Is there a reason why you can't just drink water fgs?

further to soda stream:

"Actress Scarlett Johansson has quit her role at the global charity Oxfam after criticism of her brand ambassador position with soft drink company Sodastream.

Sodastream has been criticised by groups such as Oxfam for producing its products in an Israeli factory in the occupied Palestinian territory."

My husband is forever buying soda water, goes through it as if he owns the factory........will let him know what you said.

One other thing, do you get a choice of how much soda you want?

Not really behind the times, just because the Soda Stream has been around for a few decades. It is still selling in the shops now, so there must be a market for it.

Drinking plain water gets boring ( I drink that mostly). I buy carbonated mineral water now for a change. Soda water and carbonated water.. you get the fizz without the sugar in fizzy drinks.
