How does this compare to fizz giz products at sodastreamalternative.com? Anyone try to compare carbonation levels?

Not sure how it compares with fizz giz but the SodaPlus produces excellent carbonation levels. The trick is to make sure the canister is very cold before adding water and carbonation.

I assume you mean, "Is there any difference in beverage quality when using this canister compared to the canister that came with the SodaStream." No, there is no difference. You have to also get a brass adapter to use this canister (it is available on Amazon). If you make a lot of fizzy water this method is great - easy refill at any sports store for ~$3!!!

That all depends on how fizzy you like your drinks. Go to www.fizzgiz.com. They have all the info you will need to make a decision.

yes, it is. fyi, not all sodastream authorized dealers exchange these (e.g. Macy's), so call around. If I remember correctly, Costco exchanges the 60-L carbonator.

it isn't terribly loud - I've had a soda stream (well, still have it only its at my vaca home across the country). The only loud part is when you have to release the pressure. You push a button and a 2 second "hiss" occurs which may scare your dog. I bought this item after reading an independent review of all home soda makers; this one was the most impressive. I have two main comments on Mastrad vs. Sodastream: Sodastream is vastly more costly, but Mastrad's Soda has a distinct metallic taste I believe from the gas contained in the metal chargers. I purchsed the MrFizz Seltzer Chargers as they were the least expensive. Perhaps others wouldn't produce that taste? I doubt this would be true as they are all pretty similar. However, the taste hasn't prevented me from drinking it or ordering more. The Mastrad isn't as "easy" to use, theres more steps involved...soda stream does have that process down pretty darn well. What is odd is this Mastrad was reviewed as having the "Best tasting selzter". I know this is a lot more information than you requested, but I figured I'd offer it since I could. Hope this helps.

My Crystal Sodaatream was purchased from Wayfair through Amazon. I was very pleased with the service from Wayfair. It came with one carbonation canister and one glass bottle. I purchased additional glass bottles from Wiiliams-Sonoma. I hope this answers your question adequately.

my husband uses it in his water. 1 Tbsp per 32 oz. It tastes like alka-seltzer without the fizz.

This comes with the 1.3 liter bottle which makes a lightly carbonated water from each cartridge. I plan to order the 1L bottle soon to have a stronger carbonation. think the smaller bottle is only available from the Soda Sparkle website, not Amazon.

After you inject the co2 & Shake for a min or less i find that you just have to leave it for a couple min. You can leave longer & that may make it more bubbly. I also find that if the water & carafe are chilled the carbonation process is better. Plus I like it cold!

The taste is based on how long you ferment it. The second ferment is where you can flavor it so you can then put a flavor in that isn't bitter. This is also where you get most the fizz -- it feeds on sugar so if you don't put much sugar or something with sugar in it, I find you don't get as much fizz. But you do have to play with it to get the taste you like.

my son buys sodastream syrup and tries to figure out the proportions....I just use the fizzy water and add a shot of peach juice or lemonade to it.

Peter E., I'm sorry but I've only had my Primo Flavorstation for a short period of time and have not used up a full cylinder of CO2. I am keeping track of the number of liters I get. I also have never used or know anyone who has used a Soda Stream. so I wouldn't have anything to compare to.Sincerely, Ronald

Fizz Giz comes with everything needed to start carbonating soda. Mine came with two 16g CO2 cartridges that got me started, you can order more of them, search Amazon for Redrock Distributing: 20 ea 16 Gram Unthreaded CO2 Cartridges For flavorings, you can search the web for many great recipes, most of which can be made healthier than what you'd buy in the store.

The instruction booklet says you can use 2 cartridges. I tried it and it was very fizzy; however, that did not make the fizzy last longer. I tried it with less water and did not notice a difference in the carbonation.

It tastes a bit different, but I've had the SodaStream for so long that I've come to really like it. I drink mostly the diet soda, but sometimes the regular and like both. I also drink the rootbeer flavor and like that a whole lot as well.
