SodaSparkle Compact and Safe DIY Carbonated Soft Drink Maker Deluxe Starter Kit with 2 Eco-Friendly Bottles



I like the Soda Sparkle!!


Finally decided on the Soda Sparkle after hemming and hawing over it vs other versions. I have a friend who has Sparkle and really likes it, so I chose this one. Really happy so far… We go through a lot of sparkling water in our house, often mixing it with juice to make “spritzers.” So it’s nice to have a continuous supply around without having to store the massive Costco supply in every corner of the kitchen (and shlepping it from the store). I like the seltzer best “plain” — it’s really nice, actually… fresh, without the saltiness that you typically get in pre-made sparkling water — but my kids are having fun experimenting with the flavors. The whole process and cleanup is really easy. Really terrific product in my view.

Great machine requiring only a small space.

This is a great machine which requires almost no effort or space. The best idea for carbonating water is a bulk CO2 canister, regulator, hose, and an adapter for the bottles that you use. All of which are sold here on Amazon. But many of us do not have the room or time to deal with that setup.


I have tried the Fizz Giz and SodaStream, and found issues with both. I just got this machine in and it seems to fill the bill. It’s relatively small and doesn’t take up much room. I can use it while traveling and have a soda in the middle of the desert or the Atlantic Ocean. No need to carry around canned or bottled sodas. Just the water which I would normally take with me and some small CO2 cartridges.


I use the SodaStream flavors, but any type of flavoring will do.


It’s convenient and it works.


Update April 9, 2013:

I just reduced my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars. I think the machine is great. But there seems to be a hidden ‘Got Ya’ here. The…

AWESOME PRODUCT!!!


Fantastic Product!!! My kids and husband absolutely love SodaSparkle. Simple to use, very convenient, and tasty; whether it be a glass of sparkling water or a refreshing soda. I love the fact that I can take it anywhere we go too and I don’t have to keep it on the countertop; it goes right into my cabinet. (God knows I don’t have anymore room on my countertop.) I am also very thankful now that I don’t need to shop and lug in heavy bags of Soda Bottles and cans…Suddenly, there’s a lot more room in my pantry/refrigerator and I don’t have to continuously clean the mess of having cans and bottles all over the house. I do want to also mention that my kids had their friends over this past weekend, and the single serving flavor packets were a huge hit! They were having a ball mixing the flavors in like it was their own creation! Adorable sight… I definitely will recommend this product to my friends and family.

DeLonghi Eco Descaling Solution 5513291781



The right descaler


While I found the ads for descaler confusing, this solution works perfectly and is easy to use. We use the coffee machine often, so I use a bottle every 4 months. The timing depends on the hardness of the water, but I thought it might be useful as a real life gauge on how much to order.

Works ok. Chalky residue will form. Original > Eco


It works well. However, as you run the product thru the machine a white chalky substance will form on the floor/counter/wherever you shoot the steam out. I suggest using the original descaler instead of the "Eco" descaler. The original works better and with no chalky discharge.

Works great with our delonghi magnifica coffee machine


We have used this several times over the last year on our delonghi magnifica coffee machine and are pleased. It does what it says it will and leaves the machine clean and ready for more use. Very pleased with this product as I am confident it is protecting our coffee machine investment.

Sanyo Microwave Glass Turntable Plate / Tray 12 3/8 in P34



Excellent Replacement


Original one broke and ordered this as a replacement. It was an exact match. Would highly recommend. Don’t know what else I can say except they require more words.

Perfect


Exactly what I needed. My coworkers now have a microwave that works. A bit pricy but didn’t want to purchase a new microwave.

GE Microwave Oven Roller Wheel / Turntable Support / Rotating Ring WB06X10001



Just what we needed


Our existing turntable support was missing one of the little wheels, causing an annoying "thump-thump".

The replacement fit perfectly and works fine.



Better quality than the factory original


This product was very fairly priced and good quality (better than the original).

THe delivery was really impressive. I don’t recall ever ordering anything by mail with the standard delivery option that arrived so fast and well packaged.

Pricey piece, but filled the need


Cannot believe the cost for such a simple plastic contraption, but I realize that is on the manufacturer, not the retailer. Piece arrived on time and in good condition.

Daewoo Microwave Glass Plate / Tray 10 ” 3517203600



Why so much, It’s just glass


everything is great except the price, can’t it be 19.99? I’m not the only person that feels this way. My friend ‘s mom said the same thing just this past Christmas, her’s had been even more because it was larger but come on. It’s just glass right?

it works


It fits and arrived on time. I did a google search to figure out what size I needed since I had thrown the old broken one away.

Sharp Microwave Glass Turntable Plate / Tray 16″ # NTNT-B001MRE0



Nice but…


I had to keep the old cracked one underneath since the ring under the glass plate was slightly different and wouldn’t revolve as easily.

G.E. Microwave Glass Turntable Plate / Tray 12 1/2 ” WB39X10003



So glad for a replacement


Although this is about 1" smaller in diameter than the discontinued original turntable for my microwave, it exactly fits the rotating piece in the center and works perfectly. I thought about getting a less expensive non-GE turntable, but some didn’t have the 3 pieces near the center than fit around the center "spindle". This is necessary for the motor to be able to turn the plate. So after reading the reviews talking about ones that didn’t fit, I looked at the GE website and decided to go with the one GE recommended for my model. The smaller size doesn’t seem to affect the functionality at all.

Nothing special, worked correctly


It did exactly what it said. Nothing amazing about it, but worked for what I needed, and fit my microwave.

Fits most 12 1/2″ GE tables


This fit my GE Spacemaker model# JVM1440BH04. I didn’t ding this model on any to the turntable listings, but it fit just fine and it’s and original equipment piece.
