I recently received a SodaStream Jet to review. Having been a SodaStream user for 2 years I was was excited to try a new model and see what it can do. What I love about SodaStream is that our family can enjoy soda at home for less than buying it at a grocery store, the syrups have no high-fructose corn syrup, do not contain aspartame and you can use simple tap water. Plus, the cylinders are recyclable and each SodaStream is said to eliminate 2000 bottles a year. It safe, delicious, and an environmentally friendly alternative.
I really liked the Jet. It is easy to use, easy to install the cylinder and is much quieter than the model I had from a few years ago. The one feature that I wished the Jet had was the gauge to read how much CO2 is left in the cylinder. There is nothing worse than wanting to make some soda and not having enough gas!
Most Soda Stream’s come with some sample packages, but if not, I would highly recommend the sampler with 12 packs (shown in picture below). This gives you an opportunity to try out the flavours and find a few that you love enough to purchase a large bottle. In our house we have everything from Kool-Aid to Crystal Light to Green Tea Pomegranate Mango. One of my favourite things about soda stream is that you control how much syrup goes in. You can have lots of syrup for a rich flavour or just a bit. And, you can make it in seconds.
Check out the stats comparing Coca Cola to a Small Double-Double to a Soda Stream Orange Mango – the calories and sugar levels are incomparable. SodaStream wins hands down for lower sugar, lower calories, and lower carbohydrates.

Do you have a SodaStream? Do you love it?
I love my soda streamer! It is so convenient and easy to use! Our fave is root beer! But I actually just like the plain soda with a little lime:)

Absolutely agree that soda with lime is perfect! My hubby loves the root beer too.

I wish I had one now that I see how many extra calories I am consuming when I drink Coca Cola :(

I have been intrigued by these ever since I spied one at Blogher way way back in 2012. Glad to hear they are as awesome as I thought!

They are great. Even if you are not a pop drinker – love making carbonated water without the sodium that the bottled fizzy water has.

How neat is making your own pop at home! My kids would never stop making pop!

How very cool! Although we don’t drink soda, there was a time I used to and would have loved something like this. Sounds like a great product to have on hand in the kitchen for many families :)

whoa that is a big difference in calories! I’ve heard good things about these and have been wanting to try one out. I wish our kitchen had more cupboard space this kind of thing!

I have a tiny kitchen so know what you mean – I keep ours on top of our fridge. Easy to grab and use but we don’t have to work around it everyday.

OH MA GOD. I need this, especially for carbonated water!!!!! Thanks for a great review, I’m heading over to see how I can get my hands on one.
You would love it Nancy! So fun and fantastic :)

Most people don’t realize how many calories they are consuming with normal pop! Soda Stream really is a fantastic alternative!!!! PS – I am in love with your adorable flower cup..hehe

That looks so cool. We don’t drink pop here so I wouldn’t have use for one, but would love to visit you and try one.

We have the original soda stream and we are happy with it. I love that I can pour less of the soda syrup in if I want so the soda will be lighter. It is a great way to customize your soda.

My daughter was begging for a soda stream but I kept saying ‘no’ because I thought it was all about making pop. I love that it doesn’t have aspertame, high fructose corn syrup, etc. Thanks for the information.
