I've had this product for a couple weeks now and we just love it. For us, the convenience is incredible. No more driving down to the store to buy soda. We got it thru http://makeyoursoda.com and saved $10 using a discount coupon code

Sodastream is a great product that I highly recommend. I myself am a fan of seltzer and soda. There is nothing better than fresh home made soda. With SodaStream Soda Makers you can put as much syrup as you like. I was able to by mine at a discount along with free shipping here http://www.seltzer-maker.com

I also purchased my SodaStream soda maker at http://www.seltzer-maker.com. They have a limited time $10 discount along with some value packages that are great. I personally got the Penguin Seltzer Maker. This has got to be one of the best purchases I've made all year. I think everyone should have a Home Soda Maker. It's great for parties, families, and people who want to control what goes into their soda.
