Seconded. I drink an obscene quantity of self bubbled water. They do do sneak things like change the bottle shape between charger types and formats to force new buys.
I did the numbers and I think you break even after about 60L of soda water, if your machine costs $70. After that each L of soda water costs you about 33c. This all provided that the machine doesn’t break and you don’t buy additional soda bottles.
If you drink it often you may as well get a cheap soda stream maker at that price. Less plastic wastage too.

I’m not sure if soda stream is cheaper, the bottles and the gas cannisters are expensive but yes, it’s good that there is no plastic bottle waste.

Does take up bench or cupboard space though.
It pays itself off eventually
