So awhile back I received a Soda Stream as a Xmas gift. At first I thought, Wow, what a great gift this
is. I really enjoyed making my favorite sodas whenever I wanted. But then I soon realized what a Complete
scam it was, the company "Soda Stream" is very much like a drug dealer. The scam is how much they
rape the consumer on the Co2 refills, you need to constantly get refills, & they are simply a pure rip off.
The refill charge/exchange price is about $30 dollars for one tiny tank (14.5 oz) vs about $27 dollars for 20 lbs
of Co2. That's about 22 times More Co2 for 10% Less money !
The solution:
1) A separate 20 lbs large Co2 tank (Restaurant size).

2) A 3' to 4' foot adapter hose.

3) And 20 lbs of Co2 GAS from your local supplier.
Unfortunately the cost of a 20 lbs Co2 tank runs between $125 to $140 shipped. And that needed adapter hose costs
about $80 to $120. Finally a fill up of your new large Co2 tank, about $27 dollars for 20 lbs of Co2.
So your total cost is about $250 ish. But keep in mind that when you refill those tiny Soda Stream tanks about 8 times
you've broke even. I've had mine up & running for almost 5 months now with Heavy usage, my Co2 tank is still going
strong & has not run out of its first fill.
If you like / love soda, this is the way to go !
