Ich bin mit dem flav& Sodamaker sehr zufrieden. Die Bedienung ist unkompliziert, das Design sieht richtig hochwertig aus und das Wasser lässt sich schnell und einfach mit Kohlensäure versetzen. Ein Gerät, das nicht nur praktisch ist, sondern auch wirklich gut in der Küche aussieht. Klare Empfehlung!

Hjalmar I received the Flav& soda maker in the deep blue color as a birthday gift. Visually, it is absolutely striking and looks beautiful on the kitchen counter. While the build quality isn't premium, the machine is fully made of plastic, it has a good weight to it and sits very steadily on the surface. It’s also incredibly easy to use and makes sparkling water just fine.
Unfortunately, the economic side of the machine is disappointing. We noticed the first CO₂ canister ran out quite quickly, even when following the manual’s instructions for the lowest bubble setting. To see if it was a fluke, we kept track of the next 4 canisters in the bundle. Realistically, you will get no more than 40 to 45 liters of sparkling water per canister, nowhere near the advertised 75 liters.
When I reached out to Flav& to ask if there was maybe something wrong, it unfortunately resulted in no more than finger-pointing, implying I must be using the machine wrong or asking me to send videos of myself pressing the button.
If you are buying this for the lovely aesthetic and the convenience of not hauling bottles, it’s a nice machine. But do your math based on 40–45 liters per can, because the 75-liter marketing claim is completely unrealistic for real-world use.
Hi Hjalmar,
Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that you enjoy the design, stability and ease of use of the flav&soda Fizz Maker.
We would, however, like to clarify the stated yield of up to 75 litres. This figure is based on using approximately 6 grams of CO₂ per litre, which produces a lightly carbonated drink. The actual yield will vary considerably depending on the carbonation level selected, the temperature of the water and how long the carbonation button is held. Strongly carbonated water naturally uses significantly more CO₂ and will therefore reduce the number of litres produced per canister.
We acknowledge that the instruction to continue pressing until the gas flow stops may lead users to produce a stronger level of carbonation than the level used to calculate the maximum stated yield. We are reviewing this wording to ensure that the relationship between carbonation strength and canister yield is clearer.
Our request for a video was intended only to help us understand the operating process and identify whether there might be a technical issue, rather than to suggest that you were using the machine incorrectly. We are sorry that this was not communicated more clearly.
Your recorded yield of 40–45 litres would indicate a higher level of carbonation than the light carbonation setting used for the 75-litre calculation. Nevertheless, we appreciate the feedback and agree that customers should be given clear and realistic information about how carbonation preference affects actual yield.

Anonymous The design is super cute! I wish it was a tad more solid / made of other material than plastic, feels unstable.
Also wished the fizz bottles where refillable at near local stores instead of having to order new ones everytime.
Other than that works great.
