Description

Enjoy delicious, freshly-made soda pop and seltzer water at home using these eye catching home soda making machines. Our Penguin Soda Makers allows you to serve your sparkling beverages in elegant, dishwasher-safe glass carafes. Your family will enjoy creating fresh, great tasting soda or seltzer with the flavoring kits (included with purchase), plus you save money, compared to store bought soda. There are environmental benefits to purchasing an at-home soda maker, as well. An average family of four in the United States consumes over 200 liters of carbonated drinks per year. That's about 2500 soda containers that may get recycled - which still takes resources to process - or worse, the bottles may end up in landfills. However, if you have an at-home soda maker, then you can enjoy delicious, home made, natural seltzer water and soda pop as you do your part in helping the environment, without any compromise.

Features

  • Includes:
    • The Penguin home soda maker
    • 2 60-liter licensed carbonators
    • 2 elegant, dishwasher-safe glass carafes
  • Cost efficient: By making your own seltzer at home with the soda machine, the costs per liter starts at just 18 cents; store bought seltzer costs, at minimum, 42 cents per liter. Think of the savings.

  • Healthy: Regular flavors have 2/3 less sugar, carbs and calories than store bought soda; Diet flavors are sweetened with Splenda and contain no aspartame
  • Safe for children: Operates without batteries or electricity
  • Glass carafes: are dishwasher-safe and specially designed to be used with Penguin models. Carafe holds 620ml and comes with a fizz-preserving closure
  • Bottle's cap have a special hermetic seal that keeps soda from going flat
  • Makes soda in less than a minute
  • Dimensions: 17.5"H x 4.7"W x 9.4"D
  • Weight: 5.04 lbs without carbonator and bottle attached

Accessories

When you need to replace your carbonating bottle, soda mixes or order additional supplies, simply call the 800 number printed on the bottle. Average cost for a family of four per year: $30 to $50 (depending on amount of soda consumed)

How it Works

1. Fill the carbonating bottle with very cold water. Do not add sodamix yet! Sodamix is added only after the water is carbonated.
2. Press the lever and twist the carbonating bottle into your soda maker.
3. Press the carbonating button all the way down in short, firm bursts and release. You will hear a "hissing" sound. Repeat several times until you hear a LOUD BUZZ. 3 loud buzzes provide average carbonation.
4. Tilt the bottle and very slowly add some sodamix flavor. Close the bottle tightly, shake well and allow to settle. Enjoy!

Reviews

Expert Review

In addition to the thousands of cans and bottles that you will keep out of landfills by making soda pop and seltzer at home, there are other benefits to this green machine. You will appreciate not having to lug cases and cases of heavy soda out of cars, up the stairs and in the home. Trips to the grocery store are reduced and one of the bulkiest items that you would buy disappears from the shopping list. Plus, it's fun! We used it at the office and it drew a lot of attention and praise. It's especially interesting to create your own soda by mixing the flavorings. By making soda or seltzer at home, you also get to decide if you want the water super fizzy or just a little bubbly. This is a great product for grown-ups and kids alike.


Craftsmanship

Alco2Jet Carbonators: (refill information for canisters and flavors will be included in the soda maker box) Made from modern, lightweight aluminum to the highest US safety standards, carbonators transform water into refreshing seltzer. Enjoy a glass of seltzer ... or add your favorite sodamix syrup to make one of over 25 delicious flavors.
Reusable Carbonating Bottles: Made by a special process that withstands carbonation, these clear plastic (PET) reusable bottles will last several years. With Soda-Club you'll be helping the environment by saving on waste or recycling aluminum cans and plastic bottles.
Each bottle also comes with a special cap with a hermetic seal that keeps your soda carbonated long after you first open it. No more throwing away flat soda!
These carbonating bottles are recyclable and toxin-free.

Efficiency

The soda makers use renewable power - an exchangeable Alco2Jet Carbonator. When empty, the carbonators should be returned to the manufacturer to be cleaned, inspected and refilled with food grade CO2 drawn naturally from the air.
Does not require electricity or batteries to operate!

Warranty

2-years

Summary

The top of the line Penguin Soda Maker whimsically combines form and function in an elegantly designed countertop device. A tasteful addition to any kitchen, dining room or bar area. The Penguin model also features stylish glass carafes.
