SodaStream Power Review Is It Really Worth The Price

In this article, I hope to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the SodaStream Power and hopefully help you to decide if this SodaStream is best for you.

SodaStream Power

The SodaStream Power is an electrically powered SodaStream, it is considerably more expensive than most SodaStream appliances.

It is regarded as SodaStream’s premium appliance.

Pros of the SodaStream Power

1-Ease Of Use

The main advantage that the SodaStream Power has, in my opinion, is how easy it is to use.

Most SodaStream appliances require you to manually press and hold or pump down a carbonation button to release the CO2, now the Power you can carbonate with a press of a button, just like how you start your TV.

Now if you have elderly family members who would struggle with having to press and hold the carbonation button this will come in really handy.

Another great feature that makes it easy to use is the snap lock mechanism for its SodaStream bottles, no more screwing on and off the bottle.

2-Complete Control of Carbonation Level

The SodaStream Power has three buttons, with each button offering a different level of carbonation.

This allows you to control how much CO2 is released into the SodaStream bottle, this means that you can have the same level of carbonation every time.

This is unlike most SodaStream Models where you have to manually press down and then average how much CO2 is being released.

With the Power, there is no guesswork.

3-Made of tough Metal Parts

The Power is made of stainless steel parts making it very tough, unlike its cheaper alternatives which are made of plastic.

4-Aesthetically Appealing

The Power has a neat and appealing stainless steel design which will go perfectly with a modern kitchen layout.

When it comes to design the SodaStream Power has a big advantage over its plastic rivals, the Power has that expensive look and feel to it and is sure to impress your guests.

Cons of the SodaStream Power 

1-Expensive

The Main drawback for the Power is its high price. It is roughly twice the cost of the most popular Sodastream which is the SodaStream Source.

This high price is due to the Power Stainless Steel parts and its electrical components.

So if you are on a tight budget maybe stay clear of the Power, instead go for the SodaStream Source.

2-Uses Electricity

Another Con that the SodaStream Power has is the fact that it uses electricity this is a drawback for me because;

• Increases electricity Bills
• Can Pose as an electrical hazard due to the SodaStream having a tendency to overflow if used incorrectly.
• Water and electricity don’t play well. So be careful.

3-Doesn’t work with 130-liter CO2 cylinders

SodaStream usually works with two main sizes of CO2 cylinders the 60-liter and the 130-liter cylinders.

The Power can only work with the 60-liter which is the smaller of the two tanks and this means the tanks would need to be exchanged or refilled more often.

Side note SodaStream is trying to phase out the bigger 130-liter tanks which are more expensive to ship so if you have a big 130-liter tank dont get too attached.

Who Should Buy the SodaStream Power

• Ideal as a Gift
• Keeping with a modern Kitchen Design
• Don’t Mind Spending Money for ease Of Usage
• Have elderly family members

Ideal Gift

The SodaStream Power makes an ideal gift with its sleek and expensive look the SodaStream Power is sure to make a great birthday, wedding or anniversary gift with a guarantee to impress.

Keeping with a modern Kitchen Design

If you have already designed your kitchen to have a modern, sophisticated and sleek look, it would make no sense to spoil your kitchen with a plastic SodaStream, probably best to stick with the SodaStream Power.

Don’t Mind Spending Money for ease Of Usage

One of the main complaints customers have against SodaStream is the tediousness of manually pressing the carbonation button.

Now if you can afford it, to avoid this stress, buy the SodaStream Power.

Have elderly family members

Manually pressing down the carbonation button can be a real hassle for older folks, the Power is the easiest SodaStream to use with just a simple press of the button you can get your water carbonated, just like putting on your TV.
