SodaStream Fizzi Review of The Cheapest SodaStream

In this article, I want to review the SodaStream Fizzi and hopefully help you decide if its the right SodaStream for you.

SodaStream Fizzi

The SodaStream Fizzi is currently the best selling and most affordable SodaStream Machine available.

The main reason that the Fizzi is so popular and affordable is that it is one of the older models that is still in production.

Which for me is a great sign, since this means that the appliance is tried and tested by millions.

How to Use the SodaStream Fizz Video

I found a short video on how to use the SodaStream Fizzi see below.

Pros of the sodaStream Fizzi

1- Affordable

One of the biggest assets the Fizzi has is that it is the cheapest SodaStream on the market, making it a low investment for anyone who is not too yet too sure about SodaStream products.

But don’t let its cheapness fool you this is a pretty good and tough SodaStream.

2- Popular

The fact that the Fizzi is so popular and found in so many kitchens makes finding recipes, guides and parts very easy to find.

Plus you can rest assured that your kitchen won’t be the only one with a Fizzi.

3-Easy to Set up and Use

As the video demonstrated above the Fizzi is pretty simple to set up and use, it requires no special tools or skills.

4- Requires No Electricity

The Fizzi uses compressed air from the CO2 cylinder to work, it won’t need any electricity to operate.

This is great for two reasons;

  1. One it won’t affect your utility bill
  2. Secondly, since you are dealing with water, overflows are a possibility with SodaStream Machines and water and electricity don’t play well together.

5- Saves You Money

If you are a big drinker of Sparkling water The SodaStream Fizzi like all SodaStream would save you money in the long run with the cost of a liter of sparkling water from a SodaStream being roughly .25 cents.

The Fizzi would save you even more money since the initial investment is so low.

Cons of the sodaStream Fizzi

1- Won’t Give You Consistent Carbonation Levels

More new SodaStream Machines like the SodaStream Source has a feature that gives you a consistent Carbonation every time, whilst the Fizzi is more based on your intuition, some people don’t mind, others prefer consistency.

2- A Bit More Tricky to Screw on the Carbonation Bottle

This is a big drawback other SodaStream’s like the Source and Crystal have a smooth and easier way of putting on and taking off the carbonation bottle.

Whilst the Fizzi has a screw and snap-on configuration.

3- Only Carbonates Water

This is a drawback that all SodaStream Machines have, that they cant carbonate other beverages such as Juice and Kool-Aid, it is possible to do though you will lose your warranty.

If you are interested in a carbonation appliance that can do that you can read my article on Alternatives to SodaStream.

Who Should Get a SodaStream Fizzi

The Fizzi is ideal for those who are new to the SodaStream concept if you are not so sure about making your own carbonated water, yet you still want to try, the Fizzi is best for you, Why:

  1. because of the low initial investment, so even if after a while it is not your cup of tea at least you wouldn’t have wasted too much money.
  2. Also, it is very easy to use and set up. any novice wouldn’t have any trouble using the Fizzi.

The reason why the Fizzi is so cheap it is because it is an older model of SodaStream.

Additionally, SodaStream doesn’t make much money off the sale of their appliances but more from their CO2 cylinders.
