Drinkmate OmniFizz Sparkling Water and Soda Maker, Carbonates Any Drink Without Diluting It, CO2 Cylinder Not Included (Classic White)

Actually does a better job than SodaStream, which I had for years, till it broke. I like the level of fizziness in the DrinkMate better. The SodaStream CO2 cartridges work perfectly, but keep in mind that the SodaStream bottles do not fit the DrinkMate. This is a beautiful, deep shade of red, not orange-y.

This thing is dead simple and works great. It requires no power source and has a pretty small footprint. I have never been much of a seltzer drinker, but now I pretty much exclusively drink highly carbonated, unflavored water.Funny thing is, I bought this for my significant other. She is a seltzer addict, and likes this just fine. She enjoys the serious concentration of bubbles you get with this. I did not expect to get in on the action, but here I am.I really have no issues with this, after a year. It makes really fizzy water, and the water stays fizzy for hours in the bottle with the cap closed. It takes seconds to make. Two two-second pushes of the button and you are good.Do yourself a favor, and buy a CO2 tank (like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IE1DJ2I) and get it refilled at a place that does home brewing, or a commercial beverage supplier. Look around online and see what's in your area, before buying a tank, of course, but if there is anything around, do it. You will save a lot of money versus doing the exchange on the little cartridge that comes with it. If you decided to go this route, the only other thing you need is an adapter (like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP96GL76) to go between the cartridge and tank. Look for videos on YouTube. It might seem scary, but it's really no big deal, in my experience. The tank has already paid for itself, no question. I fill it for $20.Drinkmate will only let you send back at least two empty cartridges. This comes with one, which would mean you have to buy a second to send back and get a $20 "coupon" to use on buying more cartridges, which start at $60 for two (before "coupon") plus shipping and tax. It's not hard to figure out that buying your own tank is the way to go, if you can swing it.You should probably also buy more beverage bottles, unless you live alone or only one person will use it. Keep in mind they expire, so don't buy them just to buy. The expiration maybe seems dumb, but I do suppose that constant pressurizing takes a toll on the plastic.

The Omnifizz worked as advertised. Setup is a breeze provided you thoroughly read the instructions. Many reviews disparage the low carbonation achieved by home seltzer devices compared to store bought.If you are using room temperature water, your fluid will not be as carbonated as it will at a colder temperature. This is because the solubility of the carbon dioxide (CO2) in water increases as the temperature decreases. In other words, the colder your water, the more CO2 it can absorb.Also, using less than the maximum fill level will allow more CO2 to interact with your fluid, assuming you shake it gently before releasing the pressure in the bottle. The longer you wait before releasing the pressure, the more CO2 it can absorb.

I’ve been buying a lot of seltzer water and decided to try this. I’m extremely happy, I get great fizz with a coupe of pumps. I’ll see how long a tank lasts to determine if this saves any money for me, but it definitely gives me more convenience. Also, love the Aqua color!!

This is great if you want to carbonate water OR already prepared drinks/juices. I've carbonated iced tea and lemon water and I made my own vodka soda. It's fun, easy to use. and works quickly and well. However, the co2 cartridge keeps unscrewing on its own after a couple uses, and I have to re-tighten it. This is not hard to do, but it is just something I should not have to do. I've decided to use packing tape to tape the cartridge to the body of the unit to keep it from spinning/unscrewing. As you'd probably expect, the unit is made of a light weight, rigid plastic that does not feel very durable. After reading the reviews I bought the extended warranty, so I don't feel so bad about it feeling kind of cheap. So far so good. We've used it for nearly a month...daily or more often. It works..works well with that one annoying issue. Maybe your's won't unscrew itself all the time.
