Soda Stream review and giveaway! 2/9 **CLOSED**
I am a huge soda drinker and really would drink way too much of it if I didn't know what was good for me. So, when I was given the chance to review a Soda Stream home soda machine I was thrilled! This machine is so cool. It's eco friendly, helps you save money and is super easy to use.
From the Soda Stream website:
The advantages of SodaStream's Home Carbonation System include:
Convenience: No need to carry heavy bottles from the store. The SodaStream system is simple to use and requires no batteries or electricity.
Environmentally-Friendly: SodaStream is an "Active Green" solution that minimizes the huge eco-footprint caused by the manufacture, transport and waste of plastic bottles.
Variety: SodaStream offers over 100 flavors to suit everyone’s taste. Regular, diet, natural, fruity flavors, ice tea, energy drinks, sport drinks, tonic and many more.
Space Saver: No need to store bottles of beverages or empty bottles for recycling in your home.
Personalization: Make drinks just the way you love them… more bubbles, less bubbles, sweeter or lighter, even create your own flavor!
Family Fun: The system is quick and easy to use. It's fun for everyone and kids just love it!
Value for Money: Great savings compared to pre-packed carbonated water and beverages.
Satisfaction Guaranteed: SodaStream drinks makers are of extremely high quality and include a money-back satisfaction guarantee and Lifetime Warranty to our customers.
Like I said, I love, love, love soda, but we all know that many soda brands are filled with tons of artificial chemicals, sugar and other unhealthy ingredients. The Soda Stream flavors are a little healthier than traditional soda. There's even an all natural line of flavors that contain no preservatives or artificial ingredients and actually taste delicious. And, my favorite flavors of all are the Mywater Flavor Essence syrups, which are unsweetened and just give your water a little hint of flavor. I guess you could compare it to Talking Rain. It's so yummy and will really get you drinking your water.
I received the Fountain Jet home soda maker for review. I really like that there are no cords or batteries, so I can put the machine anywhere. It's slim, compact and fits right in. Although I received the black model, there are 3 different colors and a ton of different machine models. The Fountain Jet comes with 2 reusable 1-liter bottles and a carbonating cartridge that makes 60 liters of soda or carbonated water.
It's so super simple to use. Really, you just fill the bottle with water, put it on the machine, push the button three times and then add flavor (if you want). That's it! You have fresh, homemade, healthier soda. I even brought it over to my grandma's house for our family Christmas get-together so the whole family could have their own sodas. They loved it.
You can find the Soda Stream machine that's right for you here. You can also find all the accessories such as syrups, bottles and carbonating cartridges on the Soda Stream website or at select retailers.
Buy it
-or-
Win it!
One lucky reader will win a Soda Stream fountain jet home soda maker starter kit with 2 flavors of your choice, yay!

mandatory entry: Wow.. Am I really the first commenter?? :) First, let me say that we *LOVE* our Soda Stream. Or rather, my husband loves our Soda Stream. I love that we don't have to bring home, and then throw out (recycle) tons of bottles. To that end, my Sister-in-law lives in NY in an apartment, without a car and has to walk or take mass transit to get to the grocery store. She also loves her bubbly drinks. I would love to win one of these for her!
So anyway, back to the mandatory: I love that the Plastic bottles are recyclable at the end of their lifespan and love that Soda Stream has come out with the even larger 130l carbonators. :)
Thanks for the chance.

I learned that they are sold at 7 stores within a mile of me. They also have a lot of useful information on their website- I learned that bottled water in not safer than tap water!

being able to control the amount of fizz is so neat to me, I like my sodas almost flat but it's hard to get them that way. With this little gizmo that looks like it would be easy. I'd love to try this out.

I learned Because SodaStream uses water straight from the tap, the system makes traditional store-bought beverage bottles obsolete.
