Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought one for a friend as a gift. It’s great, works a treat. Definitely recommend adding cordial after.

Ive seen sodastream in stores for quite a while and finally pulled the trigger on getting one after all these years

I did research and the reason i chose this is that you can add carbonation to any drink instead of just water which the sodastream insists you do or you will void your warranty
