Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Update 1/22/2020 After use of around 1-3 times a week for the past 35 days or so.. this thing worked great for about 2 week with an average of 1-2 times per week. In the past 2 weeks We've begun using it once every day to other day for 1 bottle. It would fail initially, but after a 2nd try and packet of the powder, it would work. Now, it won't even attempt to carbonate, it just makes noises and sits there and does absolutely nothing. Returning and will attempt one final time with a new one. Absolutely loved it for the first 30ish days, but the past 5 days it's been pretty much 90% chance of not working the first time. Initial Purchase: Dec 16: I was planning on making this a Christmas present, however after reading some reviews I was concerned it wouldn't work, so, I ended up opening it the second it arrived last night (12/16). Went all in and bought 2 additional bottles and 2 months supply of the little carbonation packets. I've successfully used two bottles so far. One bottle was just water and a whole lime sliced up. I used the level 5 bubbles, took about 4 minutes and it came out surprisingly delicious. Much better than any of the lime flavored branded sparkling waters, and I easily go through 4-5 flavored sparkling waters a day to compare it to. Next up was a vodka cocktail, had some lime juice, grapefruit vodka, splash of cranberry juice and a little bit of water to bring the volume up to the fill line. Wow the carbonation really brought out the grapefruit flavor, overall though it made the cocktail a good deal tastier. I made it a bit strong, but good or bad.. the carbonation took some of the vodka bite out of it and it was a very easy drink. Cocktail ended up being a good deal more pressurized, upon pressing the pressure relief button I got a nice spray in my face, but that could be because I let it all sit in the fridge for a few hours with ice to get very cold before carbonating it. I look forward to seeing what this thing can do to other various cocktails and drink creations we can think of over the holidays in the coming two weeks.
