Initially, l was a little disappointed with the Sodaking. It's not as simple to use as the Sodastream(only one button but still) and water would go everywhere until l learned that you have to hit the button, gas it then let it rest and repeat until you get the required carbonation. I would prefer the Sodastream but Sodaking does give you more flexibility to gas up your water. Recommended. Show details

Sodaking - Fantastic buy – Easy to set up & use. I like 3 shots of gas instead of the recommended 2. More bubbles. I ordered the raspberry concentrate as well, disappointed it has artificial sweeteners but on saying that, I should have checked the ingredients. Show details

Piece of crap – Just assembled brand new soda king spark and not working no matter how hard I have tried. Cannot get any good advice. Was asked if I have tried another gas canister and I live 10 hours from where I purchased it. So I cannot just nip down to the shop to buy another. Very disappointed. Show details

I purchased my sofa king on Friday hopping it was going to be great. Put it together to find it didn’t work – Pushed button down and nothing happened, gas isn’t releasing so disappointed with this product you can see there is no bubbles in bottle as I’ve got someone else to put together as well still not working.  Show details

Cylinder Issues – Had our SodaKing for 6 weeks just screwed a new SodaStream cylinder in and the entire thing just released the gas non stop! Iced up the base of the cylinder and was stuck fast until it thawed. Was told that the two cylinders were compatible but on checking the valve release looks quite different. Only got the Sodastream one as I could pick it up… Read more ·  1

at Coles with my groceries. Got a SodaKing one later today and it works fine. Exciting for the grandkids seeing me in a panic!

Trial and Error – At first I was disappointed with this machine but once I experimented am now very happy. I now make soda water that actually has fizz in it 24hrs later!!! After a few days I tried something different to giving it short bursts of gas. Water sprayed out!!. Now I fill until about 1 cm below the line and push down until I get a huge burst and keep… Read more ·  1

pushing for 1 more seconds.... then I give it 4-5 more short bursts and wolha!! perfect soda water that keeps it fizz. Sometimes it may spill a bit and others not so I just put a T Towel under the bottle before I start. Hope this helps someone.

replaced a dead Sodastream with this and itts a much better machine – my 7 year old sodastream died and for various reasons i decided to get the Aussie Soda King to replace it. couldnt be happier. works very well. the only slight issue i have is the soda king bottle that came with the machine is prone to spitting water. i can only put it down to the shape of the bottle. my sodastream bottles work better. the two 1/2… Read more ·  1

Expecting another heatwave so thought I would try the SodaKING Spark for cool drinks – The first 2 bottles of soda where flat (no bubbles) but found out doing it wrong...hold down button more aggressively or until the machine vents 2 or 3 times and then i had success...tastes good. Instructions bit unclear how to correctly get the right fizz in the bottle. Show details ·  1

It never worked properly but now it is unusable – I purchased this about a year ago on special in a local supermarket to replace a Sodastream that gave up after about 6 years. The Soda King had issues right from the beginning with water splashing out to various degrees when used especially with a new full cylinder. I have to have it standing in a tray permanently to prevent the whole bench from… Read more

getting water all over. Usually, when the cylinder gets to half full and the pressure is a bit lower, the water splashing improves somewhat. It got really bad about a month ago and then the bubbles just wouldn't flow at all. I eventually replaced the small internal seal that came with it as a spare and it started bubbling again but only when pressed really hard with a lot of splashing. Then the next day, I found that the nearly full cylinder just somehow leaked out and was empty. I replaced it and used the machine for a couple of weeks always having to press hard to get the bubbles. Then again one morning I found the cylinder, which was about 2/3 full, empty. The Soda King is really frustrating to use and I now have to loosen the cylinder after use to prevent the $$ hissing out while left alone.

Very cheaply made imitation – Terrible seals. Poor build quality, cheap imitation of another key brand. Would avoid at all cost. Rubber bottle seals, get lost on first use. Machine spews all over bench regardless of operation proceedure. Show details

Mostly OK, but not quite right – Bought this to make soft drinks, and it mostly works, but I've had a few issues with it. - On some occasions, carbonation causes water to go everywhere, and I can't see a reason for that. It doesn't seem to be related to how the bottle was installed in the machine. - The secondary gas cylinder we purchased for this appears to not work at all (install, press button, nothing) Show details

Great customer service – Wasn't fizzing the water so I rang customer support and got great guidance from Deanne. The sewing needle up the white tube worked, but it took a few goes. Yay, fizzy water at last. No more shop plastic bottles to throw out. Show reply

Sparkling water at your fingertips – I luv this product but unfortunately had an issue with fitting replacement cylinders. The team asked all the right questions & asked for photos to investigate my issue. I can’t thank Marsha & Deanne for their amazing customer service. These ladies have been so helpful. Show reply

Soda King Windsor – This is a basic machine that produces fantastic soda water. After a few trials and error it is easy to reach the desired level of bubbles. It does not use electricity and does not take up much room on the kitchen bench. It saves buying and carrying soda bottles from the supermarket. On occasion the water will overflow from the bottle and there… Read more ·  1

is no catchment on the base of the machine. It is handy to have at least two bottles to keep in the fridge. Gas refills are readily available.

Have gone through 5 in the last 2 months – These have cylinders that go up into it. the back doesn't come off. It looks great, but I think that design has some flaws. I had to keep returning and getting another one as they all just stopped working mid-fizz. The first one I had, the cylinder was stuck and couldn't be moved by hand due to design, I had to use players to get it out from the… Read more

bottom. I ended up getting a refund from Kogan/Amazon and going with Soda Stream. The very first Soda King was the bomb and so much better than Soda stream, but this design is severely flawed.

Great but with one flaw – Our old soda stream packed it in, so we replaced it with a Soda King. It's great, carbonates well and we use it all the time. One thing I think is missing, that the sodastream had is some sort of drip tray. Yes i can put less water in and not over-carbonate but I still think it would be a good design addition in the future.  Show details ·  3

I love it and the customer service is outstanding – I am very happy with my soda king. I did have a problem with what turned out to be (most probably) a faulty gas cylinder. The customer support is absolutely amazing; the response was quick and action was taken immediately Show reply

Not impressed – Was excited to receive my Soda King Spark which I ordered from Kogan. Tried first a bottle of chilled filtered water. Tastes like flat soda water, the drink actually wasn't at all fizzy. Added syrup to make Pepsi and it was instantly flat. Ditto with other syrups. Have also tried plain tap water with no better results. Will try again but so far… Read more

entirely disappointed & feel I wasted my money. Even bought extra bottles which are not required if I can’t even get a satisfactory result with this machine.

This is a fantastic machine – The Soda King saves me carting endless, heavy bottles of soda water. The reusable bottles also reduce my waste, contributions to landfill and money. They are great value and easy to use. The after sales service is exceptional. Show details ·  1

Excellent Product - Buy Australian Owned – I have owned my SodaKing for 6 years and it died this week after being used almost everyday. Our family churns through a gas cylinder every month. I find it gases chilled water better than water straight from the tap, we have several bottles of chilled water in the fridge ready to go. I will definitely be purchasing another. Show details ·  1

Ditto of other failures – I should have read the reviews before my purchase! As with some others, its fizz lasted one bottle, the rest leaking away over the next 36 hours. A design failure where the CO2 button doesn't / can’t properly return to a closed position. At least I know now what the slight odour in the kitchen was( the gas being slowly released through plastic tubing as I know CO2 by itself is odourless) Show details

Not bubbly, goes flat within 24hrs – First machine was faulty. The top button didn't work at all, took it back they tested at the store- faulty. Replacement one tested before purchase. Makes water bubbly for an hour only. Tried several ways, gassed it up Antilles it over flowed.... still didn't stay bubbly. Waist of money. Show details

Super unit – I bought a Soda King setup at Spotlight because it was on special. It is so easy to use and I have gotten months out of one gas bottle. The unit has saved us more in buying soda, in the first 3 months than the cost of the unit. Thanks Soda King and well done. Show details ·  1

Wonderful machine – I purchased a SodaKing to try to get my mother to drink more water (it worked). The whole family loves it. I also have one and it makes town water bearable to drink even without adding syrups. To those out there who say it isn't bubbly enough. I add a slow steady stream of gas until it's vented about 3-5 times. Just keep experimenting to find the best "fizz" for you. Show details ·  1

Typical new age machine failure – I bought for Christmas, it made 2 litres of drink then stated to fail, not sure if the gas cylinder was empty or the button just doesn’t depress correctly. Had to go back to buying normal side water and just adding the flavours.  Show details
