I like soda and carbonated water, did not want calories, was tired of lugging tons of bottles from the store, and felt bad about the amount of plastic and carbon fuels being used to transport the sodas and carbonated waters... so bought the Soda Club Fountain Jet two years ago.. and use it every day. It works great. I keep a water in their bottles in the fridge, and carbonate a couple per day to drink. The water is so refreshing that I usually drink it plain, though sometimes adding fresh lemon or lime juice is a fun change. Even with this heavy usage, the carbonator bottles seem to last forever. I recommend the 110s as the smaller ones seem to empty over twice as fast.

The quality of the seltzer is fine and the convenience of not running to the store with empties is nice. However, the manufacturer's cost claims are highly exaggerated. They claim liters of seltzer cost $.18, but no one in Customer Service could explain how they arrived at that figure. Plus, when I did buy a kit, the larger size ""110 liter"" canisters could not be purchased as part of the kit. They must be purchased separately. The ""60 liter"" canisters in the kit actually yielded only 46 liters of seltzer, at best. With the cost of the machine, it will take many liters of seltzer to start saving money and you will never achieve the claimed per liter costs. Customer Service would not address the cost discrepancies either on the phone or by email. This could be a highly recommended product if the vendor was more forthright in their representations.
