Arrived, unpacked, tried. Everything was to my satisfaction. The often-mentioned problems with the lock I can not confirm. It all works smoothly and easily. I switched from soda siphon "Cool", because you can clean it in the dishwasher for me a glass bottle like better and. While there are now also plastic bottles that can be cleaned in the machine, but let's face it, on the table to see the glass bottles but much more elegant. Secondly, the design of the "Crystal" is something more appealing than the gray plastic device. Even the somewhat cumbersome screwing the plastic bottle in the bubble omitted here, which can already be a reason for the change alone. Bottle into the tank back, press, push down cover lever to the right and then "bubble". From little to much carbon dioxide, anything is possible. I cool the water in the bottles before, so it can absorb the carbon dioxide better and I can do quite sprudeligen ;-) bubble. And the variety of syrup is yet ingenious. One can conjure up such a variety that even a little drinker like me, suddenly becomes a water freak. , Although the price a first time gives clear recommendation to thinking: So from my perspective. However, I am disappointed with a fact and is very serious for me: I wanted to buy a carbonated cartridge to replace. If on Sunday the carbon acid is all, is not so funny. So getting a replacement has to be there. Nope !! The friendly lady at the market M. did not want to sell me, because she could not. You can only "replace" an empty cartridge with a full cartridge. Of course I was a bit perplexed. What shoud that? That could ultimately not explain my lady - statement of Soda Stream. Aha, so, Soda-Stream-site on the Internet called from home. Again, nothing, no cartridge. At most, in conjunction with another glass bottle into a proud for me but price. I wonder now what is for such a thing? I want as many buy - at the hardware store I get huge gas cylinders for the grill. Why can not I just have to purchase a carbon dioxide cartridge for sale, or rent, or rent or whatever? So at this point I am a little perplexed. If someone has a tip for me, I would be really grateful.
