Works perfectly when used correctly
By Kaveh A
I don't seldom write reviews, but since I nearly avoided this purchase because of the lackluster reviews for the Revolution, and because I had many of the problems other reviewers had on here, I feel compelled to share my experience.I purchased my Revolution from W&S and have had it for about three days. Here are some points I would like to share:(1) Build Quality - this unit is mostly plastic. At $200, there's no reason it shouldn't have all-metal housing and steel fittings. It isn't that complicated a machine, and I'm guessing their margins are very high at this price point. I've been waiting for the Breville version of the Sodastream to be relased, but my patience ran out, and I suspect it will probably cost something near $500. I don't know how long the plastic will hold out, but we are careful with the unit, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it last 5+ years with daily use.(2) Carbonation - one simple rule: use tap water. Everyone has an opinion here, but I've burned through a cannister of testing and spoken with Sodastream directly, and I'm here to tell you that, in ideal settings, room-temperature water will carbonate indentically to chilled water. The reason why you should use room-temperature water is because the carbonation process reduces the temperature of the water near the tip to near-freezing. If the water is already chilled, the tip tends to freeze and restrict the release of CO2 into the water. The result is poorly-carbonated water. The reason why people are using chilled water is because they think it will carbonate water better. It does not. What chilled water does is *hold* carbonation better. To achieve optimal results, one needs to carbonate room temperature water and then refrigerate it. At the highest setting (level 4), the water is so carbonated it's hard to drink. With the glass tilted into my mouth, bubbles are popping in my nose with mini explosions continuing on into the back of my throat. That's how I like it, and it's more than store-bought sparkling water can deliver.(3) Soda mix taste - I've only tried the cola so far, and I like it. It's not quite exactly Coke, but with the high carbonation and, if sufficiently chilled, it's nearly impossible to tell the difference. I'm going to order some of the essences as well as more of the naturally-sweetened cola.(4) Value - Some folks have done a lot of calculations here, so I won't try to repeat their detailed process. My back-of-envelope calculations tell me that if savings are your top priority, you certainly should be looking at a lower-cost model, and preferably, a used unit in good working condition. At $200 plus mix costs plus carbonator costs plus expiring plastic bottle costs, this is more of a convenience to those of us who are tired of hauling, storing, and disposing large quantities of plastic bottles and aluminum cans. I suspect after two years of heavy use, I should break even, which is great, but my primary reason for purchasing this unit was to have sparkling water on-hand all the time and without the hassle.(5) Access to Local Carbonator Exchanges - I didn't do this before making the purchase, but I got lucky. I would strongly advise you go to the Sodastream site and use their mapping tool to determine if there are stores local to you that have carbonator exchange programs.For me personally, the carbonation issue was the biggest. The less-than-perfect carbonation followed by the observation that the tip was freezing had me putting the unit back in the box with one hand and calling the company with the other, and all because a number of people online have been erroneously stating that you should use chilled water with the machine. Hopefully this review will clear things up for some folks.

By B. Bloom
Despite what one of the other reviewers said it is not $1.00 per litter of soda for the CO2. It's about 1/4 that price at approximately .22 cents per liter with a refilled carbonator (math $29.99/130 liters = .223). I love energy drinks and if you read any reviews on the web most people think sodastreams version of Red Bull is better or at least just as good. Here's the math on my savings on the energy drink. Creating sparkling water is also a huge savings with sodastream.Sodastream cost of 24 x 12oz = 288ozSyrup cost for 288oz = $5.032CO2 cost - 8.727 liters * (.223 per liter of CO2) = $1.94Total Cost for Sodastream Energy Drink = $6.97Red Bull cost of 24 x 12oz = $45.58 (Sams Club Price)Savings = $38.60Starter kit starts at $79 so it doesn't take long for your investment to pay off.Some other reasons to buy.Big advantage of the revolution is not having to screw in the bottles. This might not sound like a big deal but I had the screw in type previously, and stored it under the cupboard. This made it difficult to easily attach the bottle because there is a lever you are suppose to pull but mine was under the cupboard (unless I pulled it out from within, another step). With the new version just push up and in, no more screwing in the bottle!!No dragging bottles of soda from the store and you can easily have a variety to choose from.If you buy 10 you get the 11th free of syrups.Use bed bath and beyond coupons to save 20% on the starter kit or syrups (Text "offer" to 239663) and you'll receive your first coupon for 20% off one item)Saving the earth (image all the resources we are spending to ship essentially water around when we have it right in our home)Saving bottles from scattering our planet.

Revolution versus Fizz
By Craig Blackman
The one really nice thing about the Revolution is that you don't have to screw in the bottle. But that is all that I think is better that the FizzThe really poor point about the Revolution is that it wastes CO2 almost every burst. For all the extra CO2 it uses it does not give a very strong carbonation. If you press the third button only the first burst will not waste CO2. So at each step each carbonation burst vents more and more CO2. So by the time it gets to the last cycle almost all the CO2 is just vented.I do wish I could send this back to soda stream and have them modify the carbonation bursts so that each pulse is much smaller and that it waits more time between bursts. Since I have a Fizz that I can use in the mean time, that is what I think I will do. Send the darn thing back and ask them to reprogram it.I have not tried the Source but it says in locks in the bottle with a single push of a button. If it does that and then allows for manual carbonation that would be the winner.Bottom line is that I cannot believe they spent so little time getting the carbonation cycle process correct. I do not believe that the Revolution is worth the money.BTW on the Fizz: For me the Fizz chip never did track the carbonation properly. You must make a very firm press for the Fizz chip to see that you have pressed the lever. However, the unit is solid and can make a very, very heavily carbonated drink with less CO2 use than the Revolution.Very disappointed in the Revolution However, I do prefer the sodastream flavors and the Flavorstation flavors to most of the soda from the stores. Part of taste is what you are used to.
