Why buy La Croix and waste precious pantry space when you can just make it at home? SodaStream manufactures some of the most reliable sparkling water machines on the market, loved for their ease of use and slim and cordless design. They rely on CO2 cartridges (and flavor droplets, if you desire) to fizz and bubble normal tap water in seconds, and they’re a smart way to save on buying packs of that delicious fizzy water at the grocery store. This review of the fan-favorite SodaStream Terra from user Trickseedog sums it up nicely: “I can’t help but think of the money I would have saved had I bought this a long time ago.”
If you want sparkling water on demand and at home, you can take 40% off a SodaStream Terra starter kit at Amazon. Usually $99.99, this bundle includes a SodaStream Terra machine, one cylindrical CO2 cartridge (which makes up to a claimed 60 liters of sparkling water, lasting 4-6 weeks ), a 1-liter dishwasher safe carbonating bottle and 40ml of Bubbly flavor drops for just $59.99 . In other words: the savings start the moment you buy this at a discount.
Several users love the fact that it doesn’t run on electricity or batteries and instead uses gas to carbonate, and one reviewer even says they bring theirs to camp . To use it, you just insert a filled bottle, twist-lock it on, then push its top button a few times (the brand recommends no more than five) to carbonate the still water and turn it into a seltzer.
The SodaStream Terra doesn’t just make flavored sparkling water, either. The company has a deal with Pepsi products, so you can make Pepsi, Mountain Dew and Starry and their zero-sugar versions at home. There’s also plenty of Bubbly and proprietary flavors and energy drops, too.
Once your CO2 cart is empty, you can either buy a new one, refill it or exchange it. You can refill your empty SodaStream cartridges at a nearby retailer, which includes Target and Walmart ( find a location near you ) or exchange your empty one through SodaStream’s online exchange program for half the cost of a new one. (A two-pack of new cartridges from the brand can cost up to $70.)
You can find the Terra on sale at Amazon in blue, red and black, but it’s not clear how long this deal will last, so hurry! Read on for more promising reviews and money-saving breakdowns from several happy reviewers.
More promising reviews of the SodaStream Terra countertop sparkling water maker:
“ This SodaStream version was easy to set up and it’s easy to use. It requires no power source. I’ve had it only a little over a month so I’m not sure yet how often the cartridge will need to be replaced and how much that’s going to cost. Also, my family who bought it for me included so many Bubly drops that I’ll probably never need more. Anyway, it’s easy to use and cheaper than buying cans of soda water. I’m doing much better at staying hydrated. And the other night we had guests for dinner and several of us enjoyed just having plain bubbly water with the meal.” — semi-green in the suburbs
“I did a lot of research before deciding on the Terra. I wanted a manual sodastream so I could take it camping with me and not need electricity to operate it. I also wanted completed control over my bubbles. I looked for a model that could be modified to accommodate a 5lb Co2 bottle. The TERRA ticked all my boxes. As soon as it arrived I put the starter kit to work with the included 60L co2 cannister. In couple of minutes we were drinking the bubbly-ist, sparkling water EVER!! The 60L cannister is not going to last us long, so we will set up the 5lb bottle with the quick connect adapter hose, purchased here on Amz, as soon as we run out of the smaller (more expensive) cannister. Refilling the 5lb tank will cost around $30 in my neck of the woods. We found a brewing supplier who swaps out tanks, so will have to forego the new tank I’ve bought to acquire Co2 when we need it. I couldn’t find anywhere in town that would use my tank and refill, swap outs only, like propane tanks. So with the Terra, hose, tank and additional bottles we are in it for around $200. After doing my calculations based in the amount our household drinks, we’ll break even in 6 weeks at 30cents/Litre. Keeping in mind all my purchases were made during Prime Day, I saved on average 35% overall. I’m looking forward to only making one trip to get Co2, rather than multiple trips to the store to get flavored sparkling water. We’ll also be producing less waste, and that’s always a bonus.” — shoegirl22
“ I had been buying sparkling water, usually lime or lemon flavored, as my main carbonated drink. That’s not super expensive vs. soda costs, so I didn’t really think about a SodaStream until I visited my in-laws and they had this model and loved it entirely for making sparkling water. I splurged and bought one. The SodaStream Terra has replaced that and is better. Because of the method of carbonating by button push, I can do variable carbonation levels. It’s easy to vary the level of flavor using either fruit (I bought a bag of limes), the drops, or no flavoring at all. I have not had to exchange my carbonation cartridge, but they have a process to do exchange so the old tube doesn’t go into a landfill. It’ll take a while, but it will pay for itself and it keeps me from drinking soda so it’s 5/5 in my book. ” — Mike X
“ This is a really great invention. I could spend all day telling you about all the flavors and uses but sufice to say this thing works great. The biggest question I had was cost. I used to spend about a dollar a bottle on club soda/seltzer. With the Soda Stream, and my math, I’m spending about fifty cents for the same amount. I make as much or as little as I want (follow the instructions for the bottle size). I keep the bottles in the fridge and carbonate them as needed. I learned from experience that you ALWAYS add your flavorings AFTER the water is carbonated. I’m not a fan of the Bubbly things that come in the box. My favorite flavor is MIO Black Cherry Energy (ANY of their flavors work great). There is one flavor I cannot seem to find (sugar free, of course): LEMONAIDE. It’s the unicorn of water enhancers. I have no idea why the manufacturers haven’t figured this one out. Lemonaide flavoring is so good when you can find it. Soda Stream also has a tank exchange program where when they send you two new tanks (bottles? cartridges?) they send you a box/instructions/etc to return two empty ones. If you’ve ever worked in an office with a printer toner exchange you know exactly how convenient this service is. I can’t wait to see what this company can do next.” — L.D. Smith II
“This is my favorite purchase in the last 2 years! The water is just as good as store bought and it has saved me so much money! Definitely spring for the big pack! I just changed my tank for the first time. It lasted me a month. I actually just bought one for my dad too” — Tiffany Katopka
