I had a Sodastream years ago, but it got packed away when moving after barely using. I just remembered it not really being fizzy enough. I found it last year and gave it to my brother. Well, then I got thinking I wanted a newer model, as trying to drink healthier sodas, but they're expensive to ship & hard to find. I did some research on a few sites and decided on Drinkmate. Very good choice! It is so easy to use, looks pretty and makes great soda with plenty of fizz! Highly recommend if you're trying to find healthier alternatives to sodas.
