PHILIPS Sparkling Water Maker Soda Maker Soda Streaming Machine Quick Twist for Easy Install, 1L Carbonating Bottle, Soda Water Maker, Compatible with 60L CO2 Carbonator(NOT Included), ADD4901GROQ/37

Lasted 6 months only ! Product was nice until one day that the bottle wouldn’t screw in anymore . I dont understand how such a simple system failed but it did .

Replaced my Soda Stream fizzi one touch with this -- I'm pleasantly surprised. Watching the costs of carbonating machines continually rising was depressing. So was a life without bubbles ... But then I found this! It's a manually operated fizzer (no electricity, just a button to release the CO2 from the tank and into your water). My SS Co2 cylinders work on this new machine. The bottles don't. Philips has a propietary "twist" type bottle, so you will have to buy some if you want to keep more on hand than the one provided. I'm happy with this as a replacement. It's half the price it would have cost to replace the SS, so I feel like I'm already ahead!

No me llegó el tanque de gas y en ninguna parte viene la especificación del tanque de gas para comprarlo por separado. Favor de informar cuál es el tanque compatible. Gracias

I had a Soda Stream for a long time and was wary of switching brands, but I am glad I did. This devise works great, takes up a little less room on my counter and uses standard cylinders so it is easy to make the sparkling water my family enjoys.

Looks good, works good, should come with more than one bottle.

After sifting through various reviews here I realized the reviews were covering multiple models, I wanted to clarify that this review specifically focuses on the **ADD4901GROQ/37** Phillips. **Initial Impressions** One important note: **this unit does not come with CO₂ canisters**. While this is likely due to shipping restrictions, I can see how it might be an inconvenience for some. If Philips included the canister, it could take longer to arrive, and most buyers would probably opt for a quicker way to obtain one anyway. That aside, the **compact and lightweight design** makes it incredibly easy to store, even in tight spaces. No need to clear out a dedicated area in your kitchen—this fits wherever you have room. **Build Quality & Usability** Some concerns have been raised regarding the **build quality**, with reports that the materials feel somewhat flimsy. However, given the simplicity of the operation—it’s entirely manual with no electricity involved—it should hold up well under normal use. The **push-button carbonation system** is straightforward: press the button **2–3 times**, and you’re done. Unless you're handing it off to kids who might be a little rough with it, durability shouldn't be a major concern. Personally, I appreciate the **no-electric design**, since it means you can place it virtually anywhere without worrying about power access. It’s an efficient and practical choice. **CO₂ Canister Options** I ordered a pack of **two Simplisoda CO₂ cartridges** from Amazon for around **$42**. After some research, I found the same bottles from the manufacturer for about **$43** and ordered a couple of extras, ensuring I wouldn’t have to wait on cylinder delivery—which can take **a week or longer** from both sources. For those looking for faster options, Amazon offers overnight delivery, but **at a premium—$62 for two canisters**. The reason I mention this is because **Simplisoda offers a canister exchange program**, which is significantly cheaper than other brands. You can exchange empty canisters for **$12.99 each via their app** or **$13.99 via their website**, and they claim to accept **any brand**. They send a **return shipping box** with new canisters, making the process seamless. However, be sure to get the correct **attachment method**—this Philips carbonator uses a **screw-in connector**, while some brands use a **quick-connect system**. **A Small But Notable Issue** One issue that does stand out is the **water bottle cap seal**—it’s prone to falling out easily. This can be frustrating when handling or cleaning the bottle. Currently, Philips doesn’t seem to offer **replacement lids or seals**, only extra bottles. To work around this, I picked up **a couple of extra bottles**, assuming I’d need them anyway, and plan to check out a hardware store to find a matching seal. **Final Thoughts** If you’re looking for a **simple, compact, and easy-to-use water carbonator**, this is a solid option—especially if you prefer a model that doesn’t require electricity. While the **build quality could be improved**, it should be fine as long as it's not subjected to rough use. The **lack of included CO₂ canisters** and **water cap seal issues** are minor inconveniences but can be worked around with a little planning. Additionally, if you want to save on CO₂ canisters, the **Simplisoda exchange program** might be worth considering. Just make sure to check that your canisters have the **correct screw-in connector**.
