While the price for these machines is quite good, there is a current deal on Amazon available for the SodaKing Spark unit (white only) for $39.99. Pretty good value, considering the discount price of the cylinder at Spotlight is $25.90, you're only paying $14.09 for the machine.
As pointed out by jv in previous posts, if you live in Melbourne, you can get $10 refills from Billy Bubbles, providing you have one of their cylinders, but it will cost $20 to swap over a Sodastream or SodaKing cylinder for one of theirs. It is a delivery service only for which they charge an extra $5.
Also keep in mind that, while it doesn't suit everyone (me included), there are methods available for direct connection to larger gas cylinders or for refilling these cylinders via adapters available from [Kegland}(kegland.com.au)
$14 is a great price, but being a true Ozbargainer would like to know the cheapest way around this one !
Has anyone out there tried to refil their containers using dry ice ? here's on of many videos online https://youtu.be/lVthMHsrqWM
I'd imagine it would most likely not be economical for a few refils, and it may be hard to find or even transport dry ice.
