This thing is just great. There are so many options for personalizing your drink, and the flavors are quite tasty. Very easy to set up, and my 10 & 11 year old kids love to make their own drinks. The only cons are that it does take up some counter space, and the flavor pods almost all have some sort of "fake" sugar. I do look forward to ordering more flavors so that I can try them all. It is also nice that you can just make normal sparking water. I really like the cold sensor in the water reservoir that makes sure all your drinks are optimal temperature. Highly recommend!
