Has anyone tried a SodaStream? [View all]

I ran some numbers tonight, and it looks like the initial purchase of a unit, 2 extra bottles and 3-4 flavorings would pay for itself in about 6 weeks given my diet soda habit - and with no electrical use and no cans to recycle, could really cut down on the environmental side of things.

Mfg website: http://www.sodastreamusa.com/default.aspx

I am thinking of doing this with the next BB&B 20% off coupon that seems to invade my mailbox every few weeks - but rather expensive to jump in and try without a recommendation. (I am leery of web reviews as those could be work-from-home pay per comment gigs)

Anyone have any experience with these?
