Customer Reviews for DrinkMate Portable Metallic Red Carbonating Water Machine

I really like this carbonation machine. The size is perfect. Easy to use. Comes with 2 bottles of Carbonation, 1 empty bottle and the gun. I use filter water but it will fizz almost any liquid that’s not already fizzed. I like that it’s trully portable and doesn’t take any counter space. I do have a problem with the trigger being exposed during travel which could fizz nothing or run down your machine when not in use. If they had a way to lock the trigger it would be perfect.

I quit drinking pop and started drinking seltzer mixed with some fruit juice years ago. I have always wanted one of these and then I looked into cost 36.00 for 2 bottles 3oz makes about 660 ounces of seltzer or about fifty-two 12 ounce cans cans of soda 15 buck rebate for two co2 canisters free shipping so 16 bucks or about 30 cents a can I think its well worth it one thing I did notice is the plastic bottles expire so that will raise the cost and even as portable as it is I don't think I want to tote it to work every day,

This little drinkmate device works like a charm. It carbonates any liquid you could possibly drink charged. I drink tons of Seltzer water a year and at a buck a quart is actually more expensive than regular sodas. Which by the way you can find almost always on sale somewhere. This portable carbonation machine works perfectly but is rather expensive for the replacement CO2 canisters. 6 canisters 3 ounce size 90 dollars. This unit will also except 14.5 ounce CO2 cylinders which I will look into further seeing how the 3 ounce units last first.They do have a program to refill the empties but run about 50 bucks for 4 small 3 oz. units. So I will not be doing any large scale sparkling of flavored waters. But I will for sure sparkle my favorite wine which I have been trying with this unit and love. This unit is great for a party or picnic, or your backyard which is where I will get much use out of my unit come springtime when the weather gets warm again. It is Eco friendly no need if you would sparkle your own water it would eliminate the plastic bottle useage. As you can see from my photo #3.The company will take back and refill the empty CO2 canisters but I have not attempted to do that. I have not emptied either of the two units that this kit came with.On a label the 3 ounce cannisters that came with this unit x2. They have a barcode that you can scan and go directly to their website with most of the product information and refill programs for continued use of this product. They have limited exchange retail stores that are available. Fortunately I have one within 5 miles of my home so when it does come time for me to exchange I should have no problem and will not have to ship empty containers through the mail system. So all that being said I think this product is worthwhile and fun as long as you understand their may be some difficulties in refills if you are in an area not close by one of their exchange retailers.One their website they state that they are expanding these locations regularly.

Love it. But cartridges run out quickly.

Tanks lasted like 5 half liter bottles. will be returning

Been using soda stream for 10 years and only carbonated water, now I can carbonate any liquid. Best investment I made. Same CO2 as soda stream.

Pretty easy to assemble. I was a little skeptical that it would not work as well as I hoped. I was wrong! It works great. It is very easy to use and makes up to 20 ounces of whatever liquid you wish to carbonate each time. Once your liquid container is attached, pull the trigger 1-1/2 times and your life is full of bubbles. I have used to carbonate many different liquids and use them for my cocktails or just to drink. Love it!

This is DrinkMate Spritzer Model DM-SPR-420. It contains the Spritzer, 450ml bottle adapted for the Spritzer, and two 3 ounce (80g) CO2 cylinders which each is intended to carbonate 12 liters of liquid. The enclosed instructions are helpful. The CO2 cylinder is easy to install. Have not tried to use a larger (14.5 ounce) CO2 cylinder at this time. Before each use, the cylinder should be checked to see if it is still tightened to the Spritzer (small leak after the first use). There is a cover over the probe of the Fizz Infuser which I leave installed or re-install when the bottle is not attached before re-installing the Fizz Infuser. This should prevent bending the probe while removing or installing the Fizz Infuser. To release the Fizz Infuser, it does need to be pulled hard to rotate (no release button, so it does feel that one could break something). The bottle is easy to install and seals fine. I just pulsed short bursts of CO2 into the bottle until the pressure release opened. No obvious leaking anywhere else. If I could not take off the Fizz Infuser from the bottle, I opened the pressure release to allow the excess pressure out. It does a good job carbonating water and fruit juices. Worked to re-carbonate a flat soda. The assembly is not large, so it is portable as intended and easy to store (does not take countertop space). Have not used it enough to see how much liquid each cylinder can carbonate and depends upon how carbonated one wants the liquid. Was not aware of this before, but the carbonation can significantly change the taste of the liquid. Other than not having a rotate release button on the the Fizz Infuser and have not used it for very long, the Spritzer is a very good alternative to sugary sodas, which is the reason why I am trying it.

This Portable Carbonation Machine is very convenient to make a quick soda of your favorite juice/flavored water. This machine comes very handy to use. The instructions are pretty clear and you can make your own fresh sparkling beverage in minutes. The pack comes with a reusable bottle with a cap so that you can have soda on the go and 2 CO2 cylinders for immediate use. It need a little assembly like placing cylinder etc., but the total assembly time is just 5 minutes maximum. It makes your drink more enjoyable and we can enhance any drink with spritzer. Just fill the bottle and connect it to Fizz infuser and pull the trigger ta-da you are done. I tried it on orange juice and it turned very well

We, love our portable carbonatation machine, we have a vineyard and make our own wine it has made such a different in the taste and the pleasure of having it for dinner, the nice thing about the carbonator you can take it anywhere, it works with any liquid, we use it with G- Zero drink, cool aid, seltzer water, it makes most anything taste better, our next buy it to get the counter top model.

The Drinkmate Spritzer does what is says it does; it carbonates liquids. I haven't really had any problems with it yet. It is larger than I had anticipated. I probably would have gone for the package deal with the regular carbonator and more bottles had I known.

Very great experience! Drinks are amazing and wonderful.Perfect for all occasions.

Great little device. Nice to be able to carbonate iced tea. I use larger canister with it and keep it on its side to not cause damage. Regular model is too tall to fit under cabinet in my house so how to do this insead.

This portable carbonation kit is about the size of three large bottles of water. It is my first carbonation machine and I am a heavy user of canned or bottled sparkling water. I'm excited for my own sparkling waters. The instructions are straight-forward and it's easy enough to load the CO2 bottle into the machine. It took a little bit to figure out how to remove the "fizz infuser" from the machine because I thought I was forcing it and it might break. Once I got it, it feels pretty easy to work. The machine made my bottled water sparkling and very fizzy. It was very effervescent right away and was a great experience. I do believe that the carbonation dropped off faster than the commercially canned or bottled waters I'm used to. This is a portable machine so the capacity is also limited. It takes less than a pint of liquid (16.9 oz) as maximum capacity. I like it and feel it meets my expectations.

First I have to say that I love my new gadget. I have been a fizzy water person since I was a kid and the deli served 2 cent plain on the table (if you got an old waiter). Filtered (only because of my apartment's water pipes) New York water carbonated is the best seltzer you can drink and this gadget takes only a few seconds to achieve that. Easy on and easy off you just have to practice with the trigger pulls and not to forget to shake the bottle before opening the blue fizz tab to take off the top of the bottle with the now carbonated water. two pulls of one second back to back should be fine so long as you don't go beyond the air sound and you don't fill beyond the marked max fill in the bottle. The machine comes packaged well so the tube isn't used anymore. It helps in the case to read the 9 step instructions. Really easy. I removed a star because I think the product is too expensive and the refill cartridges was to expensive.
