SodaStream Jet Drinks Maker - Titan 1012111610
BONUS Twin Bottle Pack valued at $17 (1042220610)
Saw this online yesterday and picked one up straight away. They were not advertising it in store. Tried to get Good Guys to price match [closer to my house], they said they couldn't even get close with the price.
Ditto..went shopping at BigW yesterday and nothing.
Same. called 4 BigW stores and none of them have it. Must only be Penrith that have it.
How much are the CO2 replacements?
Just trying to work out the costs….
$20 for a 60 litre cylinder swap. $6 - $7 for syrups.
Edit: Including syrups, it works out as just-about breaking even at supermarket prices.
Roughly works out at dollar a litre for fizzy pop.
A bottle of syrup gives 50c - 60c a litre, gas will be about 35-60c depending how fizzy you like it.
So other than hugging trees, the only good thing about this is reducing bottle waste?
Also convenience and the ability to carbonate other things.
And you can make your own syrups or get them on sale, buy a larger CO2 tank or use cordial instead of syrups to reduce running costs.
I find the recommended syrup dose is a bit strong, so be a tighta$$ (i mean OzBargainer) and run it thin for better value :)
Oh and if you drink soda water (with your own mixer) this works out a pretty cheap way to go.
You can often get the syrups for ~$4 on sale through Target/Kmart/BigW (cant remember which)
Target have them on special at the moment - $5, down from $6

so , seeing it isnt a name brand drink like Coke/Pepsi, it is actually more expensive than it's competition - the cheap lemonades and colas etc.
Is this better then the bigw onexposted yesterday?
No. The BigW one was a killer price. This is still a good deal. Not as good, but easier to get.
I hook my SodaStream to a 6kg CO2 bottle with the FreedomOne adapter.

A bit of an initial outlay but haven't had to refill my CO2 for over a year now and it gets used very often.
Did the maths and works out to be about 3c per L.
Syrups always go on sale to around $3-$4, but my favourite is Bickfords Ginger Beer cordial.
Nice - I didn't know such a thing existed (the CO2 & Bickfords Ginger) :)
Bickfords Ginger Beer cordial, it getting hard to find. Woolies doesnt have it anymore.
Thanks for the advice. I have no idea of the dimensions of a 6kg bottle and was wondering if the 36inch FreedomOne adaptor is long enough, or am I better off with a 72"?
735mm tall, 160mm diameter. Tare weight on mine is 12.7kg, plus another 6kg of gas.
The adapter will stick out sideways from the valve, with the quick-disconnect on the hose removed, it adds about 30mm.
I just have it sitting in my laundry. Just got the 36".
I'm not drilling holes in my kitchen benches.
There's a few threads on Whirlpool about this mod.
Please keep the discussion on-topic about the Sodastream product and the deal.
Five left in stock in the Broadway (Sydney) store just now, stacked around behind the Sodastream display at the store entrance.
Just checked out the store in Rundle Mall. They have it at $68, I figured I'd remembered the price wrong so didn't say anything to them.
Yeh my HN store had it for that price as well. I had to show the salesman the deal on my phone. They also had the bottle ticketed at $19.99
Same deal with me, I told them about their website and the price and they updated. Their system didn't have the bottles included so I had to mention that too.
Marion store (think I got the last one) also had it at $68 with no free bottles.
Salesman said they'd be losing money on the deal.
Interestingly they had the "Source" model (designer kitchen appliance style) for something like $138, wheras BigW had them for $98..
Good old Hardly's, you always know you'll get ripped off with them!
Surely you made him sell it to you as advertised?
Yeah, of course… thought I'd covered that with
(think I got the last one)
Here we go again! Thanks OP I couldn't find any at BigW the other day so I will try HN this time!
edit: Harvey Norman chat popped up on their website and addressed me as an Ozbargainer… very nice of them.
