DrinkMateOmniFizz Sparkling Water and Soda Maker, Carbonates Any Drink Without Diluting It, CO2 Cylinder Not Included (Matte Black)

One year review. The omnifizz carbonates better than the soda stream.The bottles also hold the carbonation better and longer. If a drink makes it to the next day, I get a satisfying ‘hiss’ when I open the bottle.The product design and quality is good. Working well and no sign of wearing out at one year.

This thing is dead simple and works great. It requires no power source and has a pretty small footprint. I have never been much of a seltzer drinker, but now I pretty much exclusively drink highly carbonated, unflavored water.Funny thing is, I bought this for my significant other. She is a seltzer addict, and likes this just fine. She enjoys the serious concentration of bubbles you get with this. I did not expect to get in on the action, but here I am.I really have no issues with this, after a year. It makes really fizzy water, and the water stays fizzy for hours in the bottle with the cap closed. It takes seconds to make. Two two-second pushes of the button and you are good.Do yourself a favor, and buy a CO2 tank (like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00IE1DJ2I) and get it refilled at a place that does home brewing, or a commercial beverage supplier. Look around online and see what's in your area, before buying a tank, of course, but if there is anything around, do it. You will save a lot of money versus doing the exchange on the little cartridge that comes with it. If you decided to go this route, the only other thing you need is an adapter (like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CP96GL76) to go between the cartridge and tank. Look for videos on YouTube. It might seem scary, but it's really no big deal, in my experience. The tank has already paid for itself, no question. I fill it for $20.Drinkmate will only let you send back at least two empty cartridges. This comes with one, which would mean you have to buy a second to send back and get a $20 "coupon" to use on buying more cartridges, which start at $60 for two (before "coupon") plus shipping and tax. It's not hard to figure out that buying your own tank is the way to go, if you can swing it.You should probably also buy more beverage bottles, unless you live alone or only one person will use it. Keep in mind they expire, so don't buy them just to buy. The expiration maybe seems dumb, but I do suppose that constant pressurizing takes a toll on the plastic.

I thought this would be complicated to use, but I just watched their brief video online rather than read the instructions. I find it faster to use than the SodaStream Fizzi I had been using over a decade. I believe the threading on the SodaStream had finally gotten a bit stripped, and when I went to look at a new one I saw that they use a different CO2 bottle and different carbonation bottles. Well, I decided I'd rather only have to replace one thing instead of two, and also I had been mixing sugar free drink packets with a small amount of water to add to my SodaStream carbonated water, but it takes time to carefully pour the concentrate in so it doesn't foam all over, dilutes the carbonation, and is an extra step.I've been carbonating GFuel energy drink powder mixed up. There are so many flavors available. I've also tried the Margaritaville packets and the piña colada is my favorite of those(doesn't need booze, it's tasty as is!) the best thing is carbonating the Sonic Ocean Water, because Sonic is fifteen minutes away, and the restaurant version has too many calories. After finding an online service for super fast and cheaper co2 exchanges right in my home state of Wisconsin, I think I'm done buying prebottled soda and dragging all those empty cans and bottles out to the recycle bin. Being able to carbonate mixed powders means I use this more than I did my SodaStream. I still buy their Pepsi Zero concentrate for when I want a cola.There are just so many flavor options now. Torani lavender syrup and green tea is a gourmet favorite of mine but I feel like I find a new favorite all the time.This is a fun way to have low calorie drinks with an infinite amount of creative options.

Had it for weeks, use it 3+times per day mainly carbonating water then adding a squirt of liquid drink mix from the drink mix isle. Lemonade, fruit punch, grape, orange and mixed berry are my favorites.I also occasionally use the typical soda syrups, and I know that if I use drink mix powders instead, to add powder very slowly to carbonated water or else it'll bubble over quickly.I managed to buy 10 full carbonation canisters for $4.05 each at a store that sells overstocks. What can I say, I'm a bargain hunter. Very simple learning curve to using the DrinkMaster.Drinking carbonated water is better for you so say some doctors on the internet. I'm not going back to the high sugar sodas at fast food places. My bottles of choice is reusing 1 litre sports drink bottles and I discovered that if I carbonate a liter of water before bed, it's still carbonated sufficiently in the morning to add my squirt of liquid drink mix and go.I recommend this product over the competition for its extra utility value of being able to carbonate other drinks than just water.
