Amazon Prime Day: SodaStream sparkling water makers are now nearly half price

SodaStream machines are back and becoming extremely popular, as a cheap and sustainable way of making fizzy drinks at home.

Since the glory days of the 1980s, when most homes had one in the kitchen, the machines have changed a bit, but the technology remains pretty much the same.

Pop the bottle in, press a button, witchcraft happens, and then you've got a refreshing fizzy drink to knock back.

These days a lot of the appeal of a SodaStream device isn't about the syrups, it's about the sustainability. Why should we buy plastic bottles of sparkling water when we can make it at home in a reusable container?

The machines are just as mechanical as ever, no electricity required, but they're far more compact and much, much easier to use.

Prices for modern SodaStreams can go a long way north of £100 and the "Terra" model we've spotted on sale at Amazon as part of this year's Big Deal Days is usually £109.99 - but you can get it for £56.99 on the limited time deal, if you're quick. And that includes a gas bottle.

That gas bottle is one of the new Quick Connect bottles, which is so much easier to install.

SodaStream says the canisters are good for around 60 litres of fizzy drinks, and there are subscription and exchange services on their website.

This package also comes with a reusable BPA-free bottle capable of holding up to one litre, but there are bundles available on Amazon to include flavour concentrates and extra canisters.

This deal looks to be the best on the market right now. We did find a cheaper carbonated water maker for just £45, but it didn't include a canister, which would add over £20.
