Fountain Jet Home Soda Maker by Soda Club

Pros: Easy to Use, Doesn't take up much counter space, Tastes GREAT!
Cons: Pink Grapefruit stains

We ordered from Soda-Club USA and didn't have the best of customer service. In fact, our order was shipped in two different shipments, a week apart, without any notice. We received the machine and one container of carbonation, but that was it, leaving ...

Pros: Convenient and easy to use. Excellent flavor choices. 
Cons: Not for the non-Splenda crowd. New bottle size and cylinder pricing expensive.

I can't say enough good about the Soda Club Fountain Jet Soda Maker. Making your own soft drinks at home isn't a concept most Americans would think about. Historically, soda at home has been in the American culture for a long time. Long ...

Pros: 10-year-old child can use; glass storage carafes; no cans to carry and recycle
Cons: No nearby retailer carries soda flavors; unit just a bit too tall for our counters

We purchased the Soda Club's "Penguin" model from a nearby William Sonoma store in Lexington, Kentucky, which came with two glass carafes (not plastic bottles) and two canisters of CO2. Our 10-year-old daughter loves its resemblance to a ...

Pros: makes great soda
Cons: impossible to get refills

The soda makers are great but their refill process with the carbonators is ridiculous. They refuse to use ups, fedex, or any other reliable service and all they have is their "courier" who will show up at any time of the day or night. (My initial ...

Pros: Easy to use, economical, works as it should!
Cons: Soda flavors are made with Splenda.

I really love just plain sparkling water with a hint of fruit taste. Before I purchased my Soda Maker I was buying plastic bottles of Talking Rain and cans of other brands of carbonated water. I did not like using so many resources, so buying one of ...

Pros: Many flavor choices, good value, easy to use. 30 day return privilege (less shipping costs).
Cons: If don't like diet sodas, you're not going to like the "regular" soda mixes.

I bought the Soda Club Fountain Jet soda maker as part of the Value Pack. As soon as it came, I chilled some water and then followed the instructions (which were clear) and mixed up a liter of root beer. My wife liked it. I thought it tasted like diet root beer. So I mixed up a liter of cola. It tasted like diet cola to me. I double checked and I was using the regular (non-diet) mixes. I checked the ingredients and found that the regular sodas include, in addition to sugar, acesulfame K and sucralose, which is supposedly the same as "Splenda." So, it appears to be a mixture of sugar and diet-type sweeteners. Well, I noticed right away. I do not like diet sodas. I am returning the package.

Pros: Best home seltzer/soda maker system
Cons: The size of the maker is very large for a counter.

Soda Club's Fountain Jet Soda Maker system has fulfilled my expectations of it. The product really does create vigorously bubbly seltzer water that tastes to me like bottled seltzer. I have used both Brita filtered water and NYC tap and both taste great.

The soda mixes work well too - my favorite is the Ginger Ale which tastes identical to that which I'd normally purchase. The added bonus though is that I'm not drinking high fructose corn syrup product.

I'm very glad to not have to lug those heavy bottles of seltzer home from the grocery (I drink lots of seltzer) and I don't feel as guilty about the plastic waste.

Pros: Easy to use, economical, tastes fine.
Cons: Returning co2 bottles

I purchased a basic soda club package six months ago. I do drink diet soda, although I am picky about which brands. In any case I am very very happy with this product.

It is really economical and easy to use. There is no funny aftertaste with the soda syrup. There is a large variety of flavor choices. I also like to drink plain seltzer/club soda water, and it offers great savings just for that. When you think of all the 'flavored carbonated water' available for purchase---imagine the savings on mixing your own.

Pros: easy to use and takes up little counter space
Cons: none yet

I got this product purely to help me up my water intake without buying so much seltzer from the store. Those store bottles weigh a ton to bring home and buying them on sale ended up taking up a bunch of storage space in the kitchen.

The seltzer that the Soda Club makes is perfect for me. I can adjust the amount of carbonation to taste, but find that the suggested 4 pumps works just fine. I have made a couple of the sodas and they're fine, as far as I and my family are concerned, but we're not big soda drinkers.

I haven't had to deal with swapping out the CO2 canisters, so I don't know if it will be as big a pain as others have suggested. Will edit my review if it is.
