Are SodaStream products still being manufactured in illegally occupied Palestine? I won't knowingly buy anything made there.

No, they are being manufactured in a plant in Israel where arab workers are paid prevailing wages. Unlike back in gaza where what they should earn goes to buying rockets and building tunnels

If you have a problem with it, then buy the KitchenAid version. By the way, if you have a diamond ring or are expecting one any time soon, you might want to dial back the whole "being offended by where something comes from" attitude, because diamonds have a far worse background and owning one would make you an incredible hypocrite.

Yes, but they are very expensive and much bigger. Soda Stream is a big commitment.It's not cost efficient to throw them out and buy brand new ones.Frankly, i have a bunch of different soda makers and the best by far is the old fashioned bottle that you charge and shake --like from old time movies where they'd add a spritz to some hard liquor. They are like $35 but last forever and the chargers are just pennies per liter.

I'm not sure. I haven't used my sodastream in over a year, greatly preferring my alternative set up. If I remember, there are two different sizes of sodastream canisters, the 60L and the 130L. While I cannot verify this, many users state that they do not get the advertized number of liters from the sodastream canisters. It might depend on how much you prefer to carbonate your water. I got my sodastream as a Christmas present in 2013; it came with a filled 130L canister. Unfortunately, no store in Tucson could refill the 130L despite Staples saying they could. After seeing the ridiculously expensive usage costs I immediately looked around for a better solution and found one many times less expensive to use, much more versatile, and one that uses a much cheaper, non-proprietary local CO2 canister (&lt;$20 for 5lbs of CO2 and a one time charge for the exchangeable canister.) The gift sodastream was purchased at Costco and could use either of the two proprietary canisters. If I remember correctly, sending the 130L to sodastream for refilling would cost in the vicinity of $50 including postage, and would require ecologically extravagant and wasteful shipping methods, and buying a spare canister was expensive even when not filled with CO2. Because the sodastream canisters are proprietary local CO2 venders cannot fill them; sodstream purposefully put an incompatible valve on their products. One of my hopes when I got the sodastream was that I would reduce my carbon footprint. The 5lb has carbonated over 200 liters and is still going despite the fact that I tend to use a lot of CO2 when I carbonate. The materials are all found locally, thereby reducing considerably my carbon footprint and I find that it is fun to experiment with carbonating things other than water. As you may know, using the sodastream on anything other than water will cause problems (exploding containers) and that even with water the recommended carbonation is not enough for many users, including me. Hope this helps and good luck. . .

My unit was made in Hungary. It is less than 6 months in my possession, so that is probably where they are still being made.

It does not work with the sodastream. I bought it for that reason, but it wad just a waste of money.

Sorry for the delay. I looked on the paperwork and found no information at all as to where product was made. I was surprised about that myself.

No, and the web page you want is: http://www.sodastreamusa.com/Carbonators-C21.aspx

I received a mini carbonator with my Soda Stream. I called SodaStream company directly. They assured me that any store that carries the full-sized carbonator's would exchange the mini for a full sized refill. If Walmart refused to, contact SodaStream directly and let them know. You might also want to check for other stores in your area that do carry the carbonator's, and perhaps call them first, before going there. Good Luck!

I haven't been able to find any. I got burned by ordering non-soda sparkle ones and they don't work with the sodasparkle machine. I should have gotten a sodastream. They have CO2 refills for that everywhere.

Been using it that way ever since I bought the soda stream. Countless people buy it and use it for that purpose. We are all still alive.

If it was, I would think that they'd post that somewhere....I can't find any info on country of origin here OR on the company website...I won't be buying this...

I have found them at various department stores, such as Walmart. All I have ever seen is SodaStream which works fine.
2269765
yes, it is. fyi, not all sodastream authorized dealers exchange these (e.g. Macy's), so call around. If I remember correctly, Costco exchanges the 60-L carbonator.

On the internet they claim the manufacturer is in Isreal but don't know who makes the Model No. KS-148 Kosher Sifter as pictured. I put a NO 50 screen into it and it works a lot better as the no 70 screeen is too fine.

Here is my best guess..... This product is made in Israel - according to an article I read on line there are no laws in Israel, that govern the sale of food whose sell-by date has passed. According to the article that is going to change soon. See the article at this website for more info. http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/182032#.VNNIGkjBoYQ Also you could try contacting the import company here is the link for their contact info and ask. http://www.bhnsgroup.com/contact.html Headquarters phone Tel: (718) 858-8496; 65 Penn St. Brooklyn N.Y 11211 or the sales division at Tel: 610-473-7935; 1515 Golf Drive Gilbertsville PA 19525. There is printing on the cap that shows the lot number. Here is the info on one jar: Lot 14-273 13:18 maybe you can call and ask using that info to find out when it will expire. On a side note...you would notice if it has gone "bad" as with any nut/seed products the oils in it eventually become rancid - which gives off a distinct odor. I have purchased these and haven't had any problems - of course they don't last long enough in our household :) Good Luck

I have no idea. The only reason I have a Cuisinart is because I am morally opposed to the Soda Stream company.
