The Soda Club is an $89 device that lets you make your own soda at home. No more carting cases or bottles of soda from the grocery store, no more cans to recycle, and a significant saving on every beverage you imbibe.
Watch the video to see how the Soda Club turns tap water into carbonated water and consider the savings involved. Factoring in the cost of the CO2 cartridge that creates the carbonation and the syrups you buy to make flavored sodas, each flavored home-made Soda Club drink costs about 25 cents. Compare that to the 45 cent average on store-bought sodas, and in 445 drinks, the Soda Club pays for itself. Plus it's a great choice for trying to be green: no manufacturing for the soda or using aluminum for cans or plastic for bottles, and no transportation costs to get the soda cans to the store.
I have this product in my house, and as a huge drinker of club soda, it is a dream. I never run out, my grocery bags are a lot lighter, and my grocery bills are a little lower.

Honest;y, this thing is available since about 10 years in Europe. The coke flavor is great - tastes like the real deal. I just wonder why it takes so long for a good product to enter the US market. I wanted one ever since I tried it at my relatives overseas.
The Europe comment is non-sense soda machines have been available in the US a looooooong time... annoying post
All of these comments are "annoying." THANK YOU Becky for the article! I actually saw a late-night infomercial for this about a month ago and thought it was a great idea! The "green" factor didn't even come across my mind, but now it seems even more appealing! I plan on buying one for myself and family members. And to all interested, if you look around, you'll be able to find the syrups for your favorite mainstream colas.
I actually bought this soda maker a few months ago. Its great! I takes seconds to make and the flavors taste good. If you drink alot of soda, I would suggest buying one.

no name brand stuff, so that's mostly nasty. By the way, Chris Null already wrote an article on this.
