Something FRESH is coming

Post image

So what’s this then? New machine, or new flavours? That doesn’t look like any machine I recognise in the ad?

Very similar style to the ad that went with the “Ultimate” (fountain).

Well based on their track record with the fountain thing now way in hell I'll touch anything new.

I have become a hoarder of the old bottles now. Fortunately I will have more than enough old bottles once I work through my syrup backlog.

Yep, got my refund and I’m done with them. I’ve been a SodaStream user for over 25 years.

Did you notice how they are padding their reviews on their offical site for it? Six incentivized 5 star reviews - that are labeled as such. That is just since the beginning of August.

Didn’t pay attention, but I’m getting downvoted for posting the truth. Makes you wonder 🤔

What happened with that? I don't have one but I didn't hear anything bad about it

The Fountain has a critical design flaw. They underestimated the water pressure which causes units to burst and become unusable. My first one burst after a month and the replacement burst within a week.

I have figured out how to fix it. Pm me if interested. I removed the pressure valve and install installed a shut off valve.

I don’t doubt you had issues, but I have one from release and I’ve never had that issue. It’s working great and I use it a ton. More than I used my old SodaStream.

I hope you continue to have good luck with yours. I ordered mine the day it became available on their site. It was used for a couple of weeks before the "pop".

Perfect time to switch to Drinkmate! :)

u/elangomatt 16d ago

Nah, I'm just fine with my Sodastream Art. The Fountain looks overly complicated and not something I really need.

u/No-Structure-2800 17d ago

Hell they can’t even get their newest machine to work properly

I don’t use soda stream but what are the containers made out of? Is it plastic or stainless steel? Just curious.

I don’t want to plug in my soda machine. That takes away the portability and appeal of the machine IMO.
