Review on FIZZpod Soda Maker: Create Homemade Sparkling Drinks With Ease by Rob Sanchez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Beware, Interior pin is plastic junk

We bought this machine 8 weeks ago. Looks like a cool designSkinny and tall, will fit in tight place if it's highHowever, BUYER BEWARE! The Internal Pin mechanism for the fizz pod that has to depress the CO2 cannister to get air to come out is made of a teeny piece of plastic! Not steel. There is no way to have known this before buying.We bought a CO2 cannister that was overfilled (not our fault, it just happens with some suppliers) so the steel pin on the cannister was really firm to depress and when we put it in the fizz pod for normal use, the plastic pin inside the fizz pod machine just completely gave way and now the entire thing is worthless. It's too late to return so after using ONE bottle, we are now out $90.JUNK!DrinkMate brand is a great company and built with a steel interior pin so it will not break and also you can remove the top to clean it if you use it for juice, wine etc. So it's a lot more versatile, the same price and won't break from just standard use!If you still want to buy this machine, beware that the cannisters look cool but are super tall and skinny. So they fall out of a fridge door and are awkward in the fridge generally if you want cold water. They are just way too tall and skinny to be stable or easily fit in a normal fridge. All looks, no functionality.

Pros
  • The FIZZpod allows you to customize the carbonation level of your drinks, giving you complete control over the taste
Cons
  • The machine can be costly to repair
