Carbon8 Sparkling Water Maker Machine, Home Soda Stream Machine, Screw-In CO2 Carbonator, Countertop Water Mineralizer, Seltzer Soda Maker Dispenser, CO2 Cylinder Not Included, Black

Awesome product and short of constructing your own solution, this blows the competition away. Pros: - Super easy to use. Plug and play, no configuration. - Compatible with major CO2 cylinders at the grocer, etc. - Consistent product each time and long lasting. - No specialized bottles required. Cons: - Water tank only holds around 1l of water, which means if you're drinking a lot of sparkly, you're going to constantly be filling the tank. - The product only works well if the water is chilled. Room temp/tap water simply will not carbonate as expected and this is explained the manual. You need to add ice to the tank or just keep it in the fridge. I fill mine after each use and stick it back in the fridge. - I love how this thing is packaged and assembled, it's really nice and doesn't feel cheap, however the mat it comes with makes it impossible to move if you need counter clearance, etc. (it's VERY tall). I ended up cutting some parchment paper to go underneath so that I can slide it and access the tank. I think this product is expensive but only as expensive as the top-tier competitor products. I found a machine that also chills your water, but I didn't feel like paying over $600. I do wish the carbonation was adjustable and you must keep chilled water for it to be effective. Overall 10/10 for me. I'm addicted to this product and have 4-5 large glasses/day.

This sparkling water dispenser is awesome. Setting it up was a breeze, and it looks great on my counter. No need to set up the fizz level, it is preset for the right amount of bubbles. It’s super fast, so you’re never waiting around for your sparkling water. I love that I can make it fresh whenever I want and not deal with buying and recycling bottles all the time. If you’re into fizzy drinks, this dispenser is definitely worth checking out!

Attractive and sleek with a very small footprint. Easy to convert for use with 5lb CO2 tanks. A bit spendy for what it is, but it looks very nice and has a solid buid quality.

What an amazing design! Carbon8 deserves a 10/10 for design and operations. It looks amazing and works seamlessly. A bit of learning on how to make it work smoothly in terms of the spray and getting the CO2 into the chambers. But once I got that, it was amazing !!! new kitchen addition to our family. Guests use it too. I credit Amazon (!) again for introducing it to us as the many other things we own. Thank you Carbon8 and Amazon. Wonderful addition. M

Update: the replacement unit failed after 4 months. That’s three complete failures in less than a year. 100% failure rate after three tries. It’s high-priced junk verging on a scam. Original: Mine failed completely less than 6 months after purchase. This after they had to send me a replacement for the water tank 3 times to finally get me one that hadn’t been cracked during shipping. Very nice people, customer service is fine, but doesn’t it seem like they’d have a longer warranty period if they thought they were making a good product? Bottom line: buy the insurance! I had to use mine!

Great product however doesn’t specify how to get the carbonated cylinders. It would be great if they sold the cylinders or suggest which ones they are compatible with the machine.

I'm absolutely obsessed with my new sparkling water machine! It's my go-to for a fast glass of bubbly water as part of my daily routine to try and stay hydrated! Very excited that I can whip up my own cocktail or mocktail at home without stressing about the carbonated water going flat. No more wasted half bottles because the fizz disappears after a couple of openings. Seriously, I can't count how many times I've had to chuck a half-full bottle. Having instant fizzy water on demand is a total game-changer:)

Fanatic! We have had all the other bottle based ones. I think one of the things they don't talk much about this unit is that because you're aren't carbonating entire bottles your save a bunch of CO2 the cylinders last much longer. We love this unit.
