Great bubbler with a bit of marketing fraud.
I ordered the Duo right at release, since SodaStream finally offers larger glass bottles, which in my opinion also look better than the old ones.
The joy when unpacking was great, until I took off the cover for the cylinder. There one of the brackets broke off. But that's not too bad, because everything still holds. Nevertheless, I would wish for better quality here.
The big disappointment came but when I wanted to fizz the first bottle, because the bottles you should only fill up to the mark, which is not as you might suspect at 1l, but at "only" 0.86l. The reference is unfortunately not in any shop on the product page to find, even at SodaStream you can find the reference only with the bottles in the accessories. After all, the amount is now enough for 3 glasses.
That the cylinder was changed is of course not nice for us customers, but an understandable move on the part of SodaStream.
Despite the initial disappointment, I use the Duo very much and recommend it to others.Pro
- Larger glass bottles
- Beautiful design (subjective)
Contra
- You can only fizz 0.86l (not 1l)
- Not so robust

Soda Stream Duo
The SodaStream Duo has now been in use in our household for just under a month and has so far been able to convince us with a few negative points. It is striking how much the consumption of plastic bottles has reduced, this was / is certainly one of the big plus points of the Soda Stream. Likewise, the consumption of "Blööterliwasser" has increased and sweet drinks are now hardly consumed (alternatively, Sodastream also offers various syrups if desired). From an environmental perspective (sustainability, reduction of waste, etc.), the SodaStream Duo is certainly a tool with which you can achieve a lot without much effort. The taste of the water is of course dependent on the (tap) water with which the bottles are filled, so this is not a point which is relevant for the evaluation. A big plus, however, is that the carbon dioxide content of the individual bottles can be regulated according to your own taste. So everyone has exactly the Blööterliwasser he likes. The supplied bottles (1x plastic and 1x glass) have a comfortable size to take them to the workplace or on a walk / trip. Only the filling quantity restriction reduces the content of the bottles below one liter (around 8dl), so the bottles are also drunk accordingly quickly empty. So if you have several people to visit you will not come around additional bottles to buy (provided everyone wants cold water). for everyday use in a family of 3 to 4 people (as with us) the bottle size / filling quantity but so far no problem. The Sodastream Duo is definitely a product which we can and will recommend with a clear conscience.
Pro
- Environmental aspect
Contra
- Bottle size

Good device but bad cylinder solution
Actually a cool device but unfortunately also an attempt by Sodastream to make more money with their incompatible cylinders, which unfortunately you have to fill up at exorbitant prices. Thought at first it would not bother me, but is so tedious and expensive that I would strongly advise against a purchase.
Pro
- Glass bottle
- Works perfectly
Contra
- Cylinders must be refilled at Sodastream
- Cost and effort for refilling

From the 'M'.
Defective CO2 bottle seal just after the warranty!
Sodastream's answer: "We don't have a repair service, and we don't deliver the gasket for repair".
So you have to throw away the machine for a small gasket!
Bravo the ecological ads!!!!

Less carbonic acid
Thank goodness I kept my Chrystal because the functionality is identical, the bubbling experience, that is, the content of carbon dioxide unsurpassed better. With the predecessor, you can influence to some extent how much carbon dioxide I pump in and thus choose between medium and real fizz.
The simpler feel with the gas cartridge (unnecessary )provides only for more Rennerei, because this system is not "more" everyone sells. I have heard from some dealers of tremendous problems with the Sodastream company.
It really only took one change, a Sodastream with larger bottles, no more and no less.
After immediately noticing the weak point with the lower carbonation, I turned to Sodastream. They told me to send in the brand new unit,nothing more they could do. I never received an answer to my request, my question.
The criticism is sent by phone as well as by email and somewhat arrogantly moderated away because they know exactly, the Sodastream is now a self-runner, even with little advertising.Pro
- Larger bottles
Contra
- Carbonic acid no longer dosable
- Cartridge change unnecessary
- Arrogant with criticism

Pro
- No more PET in the house

Terrible product.
Terrible product, it’s a manual system, in the advert it makes it look like you put in a bottle and press a button and it all automatically completes the process. Need some strength to manual process the catch. Poor pressure into the water. Water sprays everywhere when you do try to add more pressure. Different type of canister from usual standard. Very poor product...
Pro
- nothing
Contra
- everything

fell in
I should have looked better. To cash in on the gas cylinders again, a new system was developed. Ok. the bottle must no longer be screwed in (which was never a problem) Only can now no longer be bought at the discount store.
Pro
- Large bottles
- Quiet when bubbling
- Small housing
Contra
- New gas bottle system
- New gas bottle system
- New gas cylinder system
- New gas cylinder system

Get used device - goes back
I thought for a long time about whether to order the device used or new.
I then decided to buy a new machine, but I received a used machine from Galaxus.
There are clear signs of use on the machine and the packaging was no longer sealed with the original tape.
At the same time, the used version disappeared from the marketplace.

Gas bottle no longer fits
We have two different models of Soda Stream. Now the first time I wanted to change the gas cylinder, the standard cylinder no longer fits in the device.
So Soda Stream has a monopoly on gas cylinders again and can charge whatever they want.
This is just hoodwinking customers.Pro
- Easy handling
Contra
- Gas cylinder no longer fits

Broken after 2 months
The article has a turning mechanism that becomes really difficult to operate over time. At the beginning everything was great and suddenly it got so jammed. It just doesn't work any more. I'm really disappointed!

Good but it's a shame to have to use exclusive bottles
Pro
- Glass bottles
- Easy to use
Contra
- The exclusive sodastream Co2 bottles
- I bought an adapter so I can use the screw-in bottles from any shop!

Proprietary cannisters.
Bonus points to Galaxus, for suggesting me incompatible cannisters during purchase (I mean, shame on me for not checking, but still, kind of disappointing).

NOT compatible with the CO2 cartridges from Aldi/Coop etc!
Better buy an appliance that is not from Sodastream!
Contra
- Proprietary rubbish

I do not recommend
I'm not a fan of Sodastream. CO2 is a dime a dozen. Money-making. I recommend the "Sage InFizz Fusion" (https://www.galaxus.ch/en/s2/product/sage-infizz-fusion-soda-makers-44682465).
Pro
- 2 glass bottles
- Price
Contra
- Quality, plastic
- Patented Quick Connect System
- you cannot see the bubbling process
- Arrived broken (metal container is broken off)
- Moneymaking

Not compatible with old bottles
Claims to be compatible with older bottles but "requires an adapter" - come on, pathetic.

Unusable without cylinder
Cylinder exchange at sodastream.ch does not work. The empty cylinder is already more than two weeks in the milk box. Customer support does not respond, are not available by phone or email. Correct - I'm not evaluating the product right now, but without this service the device is simply unusable.

Not compatible!
We needed a replacement for the existing device (with glass carafes). Quickly bought this new Sodastream device, looks yes the same - but it is not! Closure and size of the bottles are not compatible and also the existing gas cartridges can not be used further!
There is a lack of clarity in this regard from Sodastrem and Digitec (in the notes)

Not compatible with standard cartridges
Attention the device does not work with standard cartridges, you have to use the exotic, original SodaStream cartridges. Expensive and not everywhere to get. My mistake, I could have informed me more precisely. Nevertheless, a no-go and certainly the last device from SodaStream for me.

Monopolistic scrap
Pro
- Water is bubbled
- All plastic so surely soon the possibility for another purchase 🥰
Contra
- Bottles (glass or plastic) from previous models not compatible
- Standardised gas bottles from Migros or Coop no longer compatible thanks to "innovation
- Due to the closing mechanism, there is no longer a free choice of the amount of CO2 in the water (overpressure protection).
- Not returnable because already opened by Galaxus for security pamflet (illegal?)
- Instructions only in Swedish/Norwegian/Finnish and Danish
- CQC (New Proprietary Gas Cylinder) nowhere available for exchange
- No option not to order a plastic bottle.
