{Review} SodaStream Jet

My Dear Friends,

The wonderful people at SodaStream sent me a Jet Home Soda Machine to review.  They also graciously sent along a carbonator and a whole array of flavors to try.  I'm hooked, you guys.  No more buying soda for me.

Funnily enough, I was talking to a friend about it and I compared it to the joy I got from playing with an Easy Bake oven as a child.  I can MAKE SODA in my own home...that's awesome!


The Jet soda maker comes in a range of bi-colored machines specially created to the colored pallet of any modern kitchen. Among the Jet features are: automatic access gas release mechanism, fits extra large carbonators - optional 100 liter aluminum cylinder, minimal space usage, customized carbonation level and easy to clean drip tray.


SodaStream features nine different machines that you can buy, as well as over two hundred flavors (including caffeine free, diet, regular flavors, teas, lemonades & Kool-Aid) to mix and make your own delicious drinks!   They also carry energy drink mix & multiple sparkling water flavors!  Each bottle of soda mix makes about 12 liters of soda (about 33 cans!) for around 25 cents per 12-ounce can.

Calories Carbs Sugar Sodium Caffeine

Pepsi® 100 27g 27g 25mg 25mg
Coca-Cola® 100 27g 27g 35mg 23mg
SodaStream Cola 34 9g 9g 2mg 15mg






7-UP® 100 26g 26g 50mg 0mg
Sprite® 100 26g 26g 45mg 0mg
SodaStream Lemon Lime 36 9g 9g 25mg 0mg

You can buy different sizes of carbonators and bottles.  Carbonators are available in two sizes, to make up to 60 or 110 liters of soda or sparkling water per carbonator & can be recycled.  When empty, SodaStream takes back the cylinder to be cleaned, inspected, refilled and reused. Carbonators may be exchanged online, or at select SodaStream authorized retailers.

Bottles are specially designed, high pressure-resistant bottles for use with your machine.  The PET carbonating bottles are BPA-free and may be reused for up to 2 years.  Every SodaStream bottle and carafe comes with a fizz-preserving cap that helps to keep drinks fresh and fizzy longer than store-bought bottles.

SodaStream is environmentally friendly. 
"SodaStream is an "Active Green" product, meaning that consumers  are actively reducing their CO2 footprint every time they make soda  or sparkling water at home instead of buying it from the store. The more the system is used on a daily basis, the more CO2 footprint the user actively saves. (This differs from "Passive Green" products, which use green-friendly production processes, but their products are not inherently helping the consumers save on their daily footprint.)

Because SodaStream uses water straight from the tap, the system makes traditional store-bought beverage bottles obsolete. That means less plastic manufactured, less plastic waste is created, and fewer bottled beverages must be transported from manufacturers to distributors to stores to homes."



The SodaStream Jet is so easy to use. 

Here's how it works:
Step 1 - Fill bottle with tap water to fill line.
Step 2 - Screw bottle into machine.
Step 3 - Press carbinator button until you hear a buzz.  Buzz three times for best flavor.
Step 4 - Unscrew bottle from machine.
Step 5 - Add capful of desired flavor and screw on lid.
Step 6 - Gently shake to mix flavor.
Step 7 - ENJOY!

SodaStream saves you so much money!  I even made a few short videos to show you how easy the process is.

{Sponsor Spotlight} Oransi

My Dear Friends,

Recently, the wonderful people at Oransi sent me a fridge air purifier & a laundry ball to review.  I actually love both of these products and am quite pleased with their effectiveness. 

The Oransi Fridge Air Purifier is 4"x2.8"x2.5".  This little machine eliminates food odors, kills bacteria, prevents mildew, reduces food spoilage & sterilizes your fridge.  It's on sale right now for $29!

At first inspection, it seems like a really small little machine although when you think about it - it has to be to fit in the fridge!  It's very simple to use.  Just un-box, pop in two AA batteries, turn it on & put it in your fridge.  That's it!



The Robby Wash Blue Laundry Ball Pack is designed to be used in both cold and hot water for 12 months on average with softness and colors maintained.  It does not require any additional detergent to clean clothes or odor removal detergents to get your laundry smelling fresh. It works with both front load and top load washing machines.  The ball is hypoallergenic & is a great choice for washing baby clothes or for those with sensitive skin.  It also guards fabrics against oxidation and discoloration caused by chlorine in the water.

The laundry ball contains an ultra high efficiency laundry solution with no need to add any detergent which makes doing the laundry very easy!  You only need to refill the ball when level of maco-molecule pellets is less than 75% full. For over-sized washing machines Oransi recommends using two washing balls.  The laundry ball pack contains 10 ounces of macro-molecules which can clean for 12 months.  This is equivalent to 1200+ ounces (75+ lbs) of washing powder.  Consider how economical that is!  No need to buy washing powder could equal some big savings!

Oransi also makes HEPA air purifiers for the home as well!  To see any of the products mentioned above, please visit the Oransi website.
