SodaStream Jet

Awesome – We have been using our Jet for about 8 or 9 years and cannot find a fault with it. I actually came to look at other reviews as the teen is moving out soon & I was trying to decide which one to get them and I saw all the negative reviews. Hard to relate. Putting the bottle in isn't hard, I have even been able to do it with an injured hand. Four or… Read more ·  1

5 squirts and awesome soda water. We only make it as needed, thought that was always the logical point. Never expected it to last days in the fridge, even normal fizzed drink doesn't. Love the fact there are so many flavour options, we have even used our home made lemon syrup and some lavender liquor. Love it and wish it was still avail.

Wont work – Purchased today and we live an hour away! Just won’t turn on and so thoroughly disappointed. Unless support can return my call I’ll be returning the product Show details

Saves the hassle and the environment – I recently bought the Jet model at Kmart. I liked that it came as a pack with all you needed to get started - the unit, bottle and gas cylinder. It was very easy to set up and use. Since I drink a LOT of soda I thought I'd run out quickly but it's still going - and the three press 'light fizz' is quite sufficient. A big plus for Sodastream is… Read more ·  1

that it is a major brand so swapping cylinders for recycled ones is easy. My local Woolworths didn't run the initiative but my Coles did! You can also go to Coles express petrol, or the Good Guys. Some people even use dry ice but the YouTube tutorial looked a little complicated and slightly dangerous so I think I'll stick to swapping the branded cylinders.

The Jet model doesn't use electricity so it's portable and one less plug to put in.

I've enjoyed less clutter and less trips to the reverse vending machines to recycle bottles. It's also made my grocery trips substantially lighter! My quality of life has genuinely improved in just a week of owning this. Perhaps when it reaches the end of its usable life I will consider another model like the Spirit but for now I am very satisfied!

Qualuty control gone out the window – I've been a soda stream user for over 14 years. Had the old jet style which 2 of us used daily-on tank water so that was the big reason for the switch from bought soda water, plus less cartage/waste. One 60l gas canister would last several weeks. Since living on my own January this year & investing in the new Play machine, I found they were only… Read more

lasting a few weeks. So I recorded how many 500ml bottles I got, only pressing down twice. Result was around 17 litres. Many calls & emails later, it was replaced. Same thing happened with next 3 gas cylinders. Emailed again, was insulted that I was over gassing. I pointed out that even if I pressed only once that would still only be 34 litres, far short of tge "up to 60 litres" advertised. I've been offered a Jet machine but I'm reticent to acceot after reading these reviews. Looks like quality control is non existent. Will probably go thru Office of Fair Trading or even Choice Magazine as it looks like an ongoing issue for many. Has manufacture gone offshore & quality sacrificed? Great way to increase revenue if gas bottles giving far less than purported.

Excellent product especially with teenagers – This was a request from our kids for Christmas their combined present and much cheaper than previous years ie X-box... Bought at Big W and we bought extra bottles. This has to be the best value for $$$ if you buy carbonated drinks. It is so simple to use - we've been educated by the kids that you need to pump it more than the instructions say… Read more

and let off the pressure to allow for my bubbles. Following the kids instructions and doing this until we see bubbles on the bottles we have had no issues.

We do not buy their flavourings as a rule - unless the kids want something specifically. We buy the same flavourings we use to buy when we mixed t with bought mineral water so your tried and true 'lemon, lime and bitters' or 'ginger beer' concentrates work a treat. So do all the Bickfords and the 'peach tea' is lovely; works just as well with cranberry or other fruit juices as a 1/4 - 1/2 mix.

Best of all it is an environmentally friendly product as we are not contributing to landfill as the bottles are reusable. Inexpensive and everyone in the family can have their choice of drink Haven't found any as yet

Sodastream Jet – Needs 2 hands to operate and more pumps than recommended, but once you work out your preferred level of carbonation, it is fit for purpose and easy to use. Show details ·  1

!it’s working, no problem! – Having read a lot of negative reviews, I decided to take the plunge and buy the Jet sodastream. I had trouble at first for some reason but zero problems and not needing electricity is great.. I just think bottles should be a bit cheaper as we are doing it ourselves. Show details ·  1

Bring on summer – Works good after I look at video got get there are others with few more features might get one next when this one goes I am happy with this base model for now you need two hands for this model ok with me don’t forget the lemon slice

Absolutely rubbish – This product doesn’t work. I thought perhaps I had a faulty one, so took it back and replaced it with another. The second one didn’t work either. I pressed the button to carbonate until it would no longer press, the water was hardly carbonated. Very disappointed. Show details

RIP OFF – Product is a complete rip off. More of the same corporate rop off nonsense. This product has a 5 star rating on the manufacturers website, nothing misleading going on there surely.... It is cheaper to buy bottled sparkling water at Woolies or Coles than use this gimmick. I've kept track over 3 canisters, MUCH CHEAPER to just buy bottled water.… Read more

How pathetic.

It just does not carbonate effectively, leaks air and water everywhere. Impossible to clean the internals. No matter how much you tighten the canister it doesn't work right.

This product is a total dud being sold on special everywhere as its pure trash.

Just doesn’t work – Thought I would try the Jet but it is horrible. Once bottle is in place you cannot get a good seal and water spews out everywhere. Bottle hard to remove. Zero fizz. Show details

Very ordinary product – Very disappointed after buying this “Jet” It just does not gas like it should. You have to pump gas into it for about 30 seconds before it even tastes like it should.  Show details

waste of money – No wonder it was $49 at Harvey Norman. Very cheaply built Hard to use and to remove the bottle and the water is just like plain water. Don't buy it. Luckily, Harvey Norman gave me a refund- thank you very much. Show details

Hard to use. 2 handed operation – I bought this yesterday, and will be getting a refund tomorrow. Although I like the idea of a push button. That's the only good thing about this Stream and I will be reverting back to my 2016 addition. You need 2 hands to operate this machine one to operate the bottle angler and one to screw the bottle in, which for myself with tics and tremors… Read more

is quite a hard task. It would have worked better if inserting the bottle was just a push up not screw in. I recommend do not purchase if you or family have hand/arm issues.

Very exciting birthday present – I bought the jet for my daughter as a birthday present and she was so excited! Everyday she is using it and trying different flavours. So good to get her fluid intake up. I need to get some more bottles to keep up with her - just not sure if the fuse ones will work with the jet?? Very happy Show details ·  1

Helps me keep my water intake up! – I grew up in a household that always had a SodaStream, and decided that instead of buying mineral water all the time, I'd get around to buying one of my own! I bought this model from Harvey Norman, and it is serving me well! Only thing is that I think it had perhaps an old gas bottle in it, because it doesn't have very much fizz. I find it enough… Read more ·  1

for my purposes, though, so I'm not overly concerned about it. I'm thinking that a new "fresh" bottle might make a difference, but I won't just get rid of this one just to see.

Not quite the same as I remember the SodaStream being when I was a kid, but I'm certainly saving money (and, most importantly, using fewer bottles) and very happy with that fact!

Garbage – Lots of water leakage during refilling but not much fizz. Glad it was a gift & could be thrown away without any financial loss. Garbage product as far as I'm concerned. Show details

Biggest waste of money – My children gave me this product for mother's day. It is utterly useless. Unfortunately they didn't keep the receipt so I can't even take it back. I have followed the reviews and all the instructions. There is no fizz even after 5 -7 long sprays. So disappointed I'd never recommend this product to anyone. Show details

Wanted one for a long time – Idea is great. Very disappointed. Wanted one for so long now, finally purchased one from kmart. Can't get bubbles and when I do they don't last. I have read the trouble shooter and still can't seems to get it to carbonate properly. Tastes like cordial. Show details

Love IT ! – I received a Soda Stream Jet (black) for Christmas 2019 as a gift from my kids. I drink a lot of carbonated water generally spend a good amount of singular and packs when shopping. However, to save the environment the Soda Stream was the logical idea with reusable bottles. I have to say the pressure is great. The amount of fizz and long-lasting… Read more ·  2

fizz in the bottle is exceptional. It works well with room temp or extra cold water. I like the screw in bottle holder to seal the bottle when depressing gas into the bottle. I don't add flavours but that's a personal choice.

The portable convenience is a bonus as I can take the system with me camping and so forth it is a stand-alone unit and does not require electricity.

Water everywhere and hardly any bubbles – We were recently given a SodaStream Jet as a gift but the machine just doesn't work most of the time. We've followed the operating instructions available online and in writing but most of the time the bottle just doesn't seal in the machine during carbonisation and as a result it sprays water everywhere and develops very little fizz. If we had bought it ourselves we would have wanted our money back. I could not recommend this product to anyone

Not very Bubbly! – We just replaced our Soda Stream after having the previous one for a long time. We were very happy with it as it gassed the water very well. Our new model is a Jet Soda Stream but it just doesn't seem to "gas" the water very much. We've checked the gas bottle and that seems to be locked in correctly. But this one doesn't seem to be as good as the previous one unfortunately. Just wondering whether anyone else has had this experience? Show details

I like it, my partner thinks its average – I guess it depends on what your preference is, we buy sparkling water from Coles which completely allowed us to stop drinking soft drink, the amount of gas in the sparkling water almost makes you feel like you're drinking lemonade haha! We received a Soda Stream Jet series from christmas and i like it, it doesn't make sparkling water quite as… Read more

carbonated as the Coles brand one we usually buy but i compare it to purchasing san pelligrino, cape grim or Mt franklin sparkling water. My partner absolutely loves the Coles brand one so he is pretty underwhelmed with the lack of fizziness.

Setup of the machine itself is very easy, attaching and replacing the gas cylinder is also very straightforward. I can purchase additional bottles and gas cylinders at my local Big W. The unit is tall but the base is just a small square so it doesn't take up a lot of bench space which is important.

Broke after 4 months – We bought the Sodastream Jet to eliminate purchasing bottled sparkling water. We literally used ours multiple times a day as the whole family are addicts. After only 4 months, today it broke. As many of the other reviewers have also experienced, the mechanism attached to the button which releases the CO2 from the canister is busted and won't… Read more

carbonate the water anymore. Wish I had read the reviews here before I made my purchase. I've also investigated some of the videos on YouTube with suggested fixes, but nothing so far for my specific problem.

Valve blew up!!! Cheap plastic pressure valve!!! – Owned for about 4 years. Had always worked well until today. First fill from a new (genuine) CO2 cylinder. Connected the water bottle, pressed the lever and BANG!!! The cheap plastic valve body failed by splitting in two! The years of pressure cycling fatigued it to the point of destruction. If these are going to fail after a certain… Read more

number of cycles then Sodastream should clearly state this at purchase.

Why isn't the valve made of brass, like the one on the gas cylinder?

Would not rate it very high – I received the soda stream as a gift for my birthday, and I can only say that it could be better! The entire process is not very user friendly and the bottle just seems be lose towards where you connect it to the streamer despite tightening it very well. I even got my husband to check if I was doing anything wrong but despite several attempts, the water lacks the bubbles and hence defeats the purpose.  Show details
