We replaced a second Sodastream Penguin with this unit, which uses the same carafes and gas containers. The build quality and design was disappointing with the Penguin. The Crystal improves on the design considerably, which helps circumvent build quality that appears to be similar to the Penguin. The gas valve is operated with a button instead of a lever, which makes the Crystal less cumbersome to operate, and also makes a better fit between the counter and cupboards. The excess gas release is integrated into the removal of the carafe rather than requiring a second button push. Loading and unloading carafes is also more elegant than with the Penguin. Like the Penguin, the back cover and latch that contains the canister feels chincy. The toot noises that indicate gas pressure are funkier and less shrill than the Penguin. All that for 10% lower price. Just finishing the first gas canister so we'll see how it holds up. Although it's a terribly subjective judgment since we didn't keep any records, this canister seems to be lasting longer than previous ones with the Penguin.That said, we love the sparkling water and drink up quite a bit of it. Delicious yet simple with fresh lemon or lime. Just plain is fine, too; so much better than still. We've never bothered with any syrups.
Update: 15 months on, the soda maker still works. The twisting tab to lock and unlock the unit for charging can be a little stubborn, but thus far has not failed. It's as essential to us as the coffee maker, even though we just use it primarily for plain sparkling tap water. For two adults and a toddler, we keep five carafes in rotation, which helps ensure we always have some cold ones on hand, even if we let a few empties stack up before refilling. Although five carafes is a lot to manage, the container size is probably ideal at two servings each. The gas disperses rapidly once the cap is opened, so larger containers would just go flat after the first serving and waste the gas, even at the rapid rate we consume the water. We also have five charger bottles, so we rarely run out of gas before remembering to grab a few of the empties when we go to the mall, where there are two stores that will exchange them, as well as other options around town. It's a small hassle to haul more than a couple of chargers to the store and back, but beats schlepping the equivalent amount of bottled water for sure. And it encourages us to drink a lot of water. Definitely a good value, despite the bizarre campaign to discredit the product lines by an Amazon reviewer with dubious motives.
