To bottle ansich: The cylinder weighs just over a kilo. Whether filled or empty makes little difference. A new bottle is protected on the head with a plastic band and a plastic plug. The expiration date is printed on this plastic stopper and is always at my bottle over 2 years. Per cylinder should be able to bubble up to 60L water. This number, however, is actually fictitious. Only those who make do with one or two Spudelstößen per 1L bottle, also comes actually to 60 liters. The reality is somewhat different. For example, I've bought the SodaStream, as I like to drink well water sparkling table. Medium I do not like, it must be lively. When SodaStream you have to push the button for easy tangy effervescent 3-5 times. I did and found that I bring it to just 36-42 liters per cylinder statistics over several weeks. Noted again - with sparkling soda! For medium bubble of course you get back much more.
What can you say about the price ratio? Prices here are constantly changing, so I do not want to talk about whether it is beneficial or not here, because tomorrow it may be different. Only so much: In local trade around the corner of this cylinder will cost us around 30 euros. By the way cost us a filling from 6.99 to 7.99 euros. It is available in many supermarkets or at electronics stores and there where you can buy accessories SodaStream. Who happens to still need a plastic bottle, you should talk to look at the offer, is also recommended: SodaStream 1053000490 Reserve cylinder plus bottle
Before, I dragged my heavy soda boxes through the area. The glass bottles are heavy and with whom to run to the office was not exactly brilliant. Although the plastic bubble at the discount is not bad either - but if you consider that the touring through Germany in trucks - then little can be environmentally friendly. You have to let me think how hard the water is, and yet relatively few matches as a truck. With this cylinder and the water from the tap to get though better off as brand soft drinks, but is created (at us at least) no saving relationship with the discounter water. But we have done something good for the environment, and the water from the tap tastes just as good. And the water hauling also ceases.
Conclusion: I would like SodaStream After a year no longer miss this device! We are absolutely satisfied with this cylinder. Even when Replace never gabs problems. There is nothing to complain about, the cylinder is highly recommended.
