WARNING!!! Read these comments and/or the TOS. You will be charged if you don't return the two bonus cylinders.

To avoid a shipping fee wait to apply the coupon code until after you select free shipping and get to the payment page!

Edit: it resets the fee at the final step. I added a flavor for 3.75 and it brings my total above 50 for free shipping.

Also, get 12.5% cash back with RetailMeNot

Edit 2: after buying this I've realized that it is incredibly misleading. You only get 1 cylinder to keep. The other 2 are basically on loan for 90 days. If this had been clear I may have still purchased, but as it stands I'm probably going to cancel since I don't like being misled.

Do they say it in the TOS (buried in lots of text)? Yes. Can I think of 5 ways they could have made this clear on their website? Also yes.

even without the cost of gas and the machine, the flavors end up being over $1 per 2 liters and i can routinely get 2 liter bottles at the store for 99c or 1.25 without the work. Good for people who want to carbonate stuff they can't buy though.

I just called them. That's what she said. 90 days to return 2. She also stated I can call and request a 30 day extension making it 120 days to return two.

I don't understand whats going on. What is the deal with some people saying 90days is a short time to get thru these? There isn't a time limit. It's just saying this should last you 90 days on avg
Per their FAQ "You have 90 days to return 2 CO2 Cylinders – extra 30 days than usual!"

Yeah but then I also see you're still paying for shipping and the refill so really why a time limit? Just exchange them any time.

This deal is confusing AF.

Do you get to keep the cylinders if you prefer to exchange them at a local store?

Can you just throw away the return box and keep the bottles? What is the $15 charge for late bottles someone mentioned above?

Does this bundle include 1 cylinder to keep and 2 extras to return?

Pepsi is more like $2 a 2 liter nowdays that I saw. And more if you buy 12 oz cans or 20 oz bottles as I do. Also, there's some convenience to being able to make as needed without going to the store.

That said if you want to save money and it's already been referenced, I guess you mod these and use scuba store CO2 that is much cheaper in bulk, and I read a tip to use sno cone syrups as well, presumably they are cheaper/better.

Personally I just got one of these and paid more $66 for the terra model and only got one C02 cannister (I believe the terra was on sale for 59, and some syrups cost 12 more, then some discounts=66).. As a longtime soda drinker and first time sodastream user, I was pretty disappointed. The sodastream branded base "Cola" flavor is actually kind of diet. It's 60 calories per 12 oz, whereas normal soda is 150 calories per 12 oz. Thats a massive difference. And it uses Sucralose, an artificial sweetener. And believe me you can taste the difference, it's nothing like real coke or pepsi. It's nice if you are dieting I guess, but OTOH a double edged sword if you are trying to avoid artificial sweetener. Also the carbonation is not as strong IMO as store bought soda, and doesn't last as long in the fridge either.

Agreed. I think that they just want the emties back or they will charge you $15 each.

My one remaining question is same as yours if extra ones be exchanged locally or do they have to shipped back.

I purchased the previous bundle and was not aware that I needed to return 2 cylinders. It is not clearly communicated on their page or what expense you would incur if not, so this is an easy dispute on your credit card if they try to charge you.
I think they try to get you used to returning and refilling cylinders to get you in their ecosystem, but will not actually do anything if you don't.
Also, for free shipping (7.99$ otherwise) of refilled cylinders you would need to order 4 cylinders at a time at a price of 15$/cylinder

Probably still worth it even if you are going to keep the cylinders and pay the extra $30.

I agree. I read the product page several times and nowhere in that did I get the idea that I had to return cartridges or be charged later.

This pretty much makes my decision a no-brainer...this deal kinda sucks because it's so confusing! Kinda feels bait and switchy!

Is it safe to refill cartridges at paint gun shops?
What size are Sodastream Co2 cartridges?
I use the Primo system and cartridges are 20 oz.

Could be to avoid high fructose corn syrup.

Years ago I modded mine to take a kegerator CO2 cylinder. It's roughly this item https://amzn.to/3hdZhx2 but the exact one I have isn't available any more.

Costs me maybe $12/yr to refill it

Also good to make your own energy drinks for much less- https://liquidcaffeine.com/recipes/
