SPÄRKEL Bottle 2-Pack - 2x 750ml (25.4oz.) - Always have a bubbly drink ready - Use Beverage System

UPDATE on 5/13: I reached out to Sparkel directly to replace my defective lid, they responded promptly and mailed a new lid to replace the defective one at no cost. Very satisfied. I LOVE my sparkel machine, ordered two extra bottles so we could have backup carbonated water at the ready in the fridge. The bottle that came with the machine and one of the two extra bottles I ordered keep the water carbonated for several days. So Handy! Alas, one of the two bottle that came in the two pack of extra bottles I ordered does not properly hold a seal. After taking the bottle off the machine you can hear a slight leak of air pressure from the pressure valve at the top of the one bottle. Within an hour or so the bottle with the air leak is flat and contains no carbonation. Alas, I didn't realize this immediately. By the time I noticed the problem, I was past the return date. So sad :( Can't justify buying two new bottles to replace one that doesn't work. Be sure to check your bottles for this problem promptly after receipt.

I love my Sparkel carbonation system! These bottles work great and my latest purchase of them looks like they updated the molds (from the one I got with the machine) to have the top lid gasket seal better/stay in place. The only thing that is a little annoying is when the bottle "sweats" from the humidity in the air and then pools in the lower groove between the bottle and the lower seal. When you go to drink it if you are not careful it will dribble the collected condensation onto you from that groove. Eliminating this gap would be a great improvement; I do not know if this limitation is due to the injection molding process but would be a great improvement if changed. All around still very happy with this system.

I like the Sparkel Machine, the bottles wear out after a year depending on the water and how carbonated you make your drinks. The seals gave out on my bottle after a year. The fact you have to buy two replacement bottles and that they are just over-priced does not make me happy. Initially, I planned to sell my machine and the sparkel bubble mixture packets until I found out there was NO market for them. So, I eventually admitted defeat and bought the replacement package. When I do run out of the mixture I will probably sell or donate my Sparkel to charity

1/26/24 - after nearly 2 years of fairly consistent use I can say that I still love my Sparkel. Yes, it can be finicky, but customer service has been great with providing help and the trouble-shooting manual is great. I would still buy again if needed. The bottle issue still exists but again doesn’t change my overall view of the product. Original Review: I love my Sparkel and use it just about every day - needed some bottle to increase my 'stock' of water in the fridge. The only thing I don't like about these bottles is the intermittent leak from the bottom. Even without any pressure, they seem to leak from the seal. It's doesn't effect the ability to maintain the pressure, and it's only water so it's not life shattering, but it is a bit annoying. Even after removing the bottom and reseating it, it is hit-or-miss on the leaking. They are, however, very sturdy and do the job that is expected so I just knocked 1 star for the intermittent leaking.

I have 3 Sparkel water bottles and I use them frequently. Judging from the quality they should last a long time.

First time I used this it leaked but when I realized that I needed to tighten the bottom it worked awesome. I am loving this so much -easier than using a co2 cartridge so many options and the bubbles are really great I was looking for something else and stumbled onto this and glad I bought it very fun!😊

We love the Sparkel system. But the old bottles had a design flaw of some sort so that they stopped holding pressure after being used for a few months. Recently, we ordered new bottles and these work great - at least so far. Apparently, Sparkel was aware of the problem - see many online complaints- and redesigned the bottles. In particular, the bottom of the new bottles is different from the original ones. But Sparkel does not tell us what they did, which is not entirely honest. Also, they do not sell replacement parts for the bottles or machine. Parts such as O-rings inevitably wear out and Sparkel should offer replacement parts. Otherwise, it's a great Idea and overall we're happy with it.

I have only had these cups for three months and they do not work properly after a few uses. After placing my ingredients into the cup with ice and water, as the machine is on, the cups began to leak out at the bottom causing a huge mess all over my counter and a waste of the fruit ingredients that I put into the cup. This causes me to have to try to make it again which also causes me to have to use more carbonator packets which is a complete waste of money.

Bottles are great and make it so that we can have lots of flavours of bubbly water available.

When I first received bottles, I only carbonated plain water to test if they leaked (some reviewers had experienced). Both bottles started badly leaking water from the bottom as it carbonated. I unscrewed bottles and retightened, tried again and both were fine! Having extra bottles ready to drink is great as one bottles only fills two large glasses. It also allows me to switch up the flavours: mango, lemon & lychee, raspberry…anything! I love that I can control the level of sweetness. I also found that I can buy the citric acid and baking soda in bulk to save money. A scant tablespoon of baking soda to a level tablespoon of citric acid works perfectly on level 4 setting. The way we go thru it, another set of extra bottles will be needed especially in hot summer! The Sparkel is a great product! Highly recommend!

I've always wanted a carbonator and glad I didn't rush to get one, because then this awesome device came on the scene. Love that you can carbonate practically anything. Great customer service. Got my uncle and one of my nephews hooked! Glad we purchased additional bottles but regret waiting as long as we did as the price went up a little - but definitely still worth having.

Edit: The last two bottles I received are slightly different. The bottoms have been reversed so the outside is flat and the inside has the 'ribs.' So far the new design is a lot tighter around the bottom seal and doesn't collect condensation as much, or slowly leak. After using for a month I'd say the new design is superior to the old design by far. After going through 6 of these bottles in the past year or two, I think I'm more than qualified to review these. These bottles are fairly high quality, but the design has a weak point; specifically the seals at the top and bottom, as well as the o-rings. I also wish they were bigger, since I probably go through 8 of these in a day at least. The bottles over time may also get tiny stress cracks on the outside, almost like stretch marks on someone's belly after losing a lot of weight. This is after several hundred carbonations however, and I don't think there's any way to avoid eventual wear and tear. But, there are ways to potentially prolong the life of the bottles if you follow the advice below: - First, the bottom grey/gray part of the bottle on the inside WILL stain with whatever color your beverage is, and you won't ever get the stain out due to the material used. Once you've stained the bottom, it'll gross anyone else out if they see it when you're trying to show off your cool carbonation machine. I've learned my lesson and I strongly recommend that you only carbonate plain water (filtered preferably), and after carbonating pour the water into a different bottle and add flavoring there. I personally use a Nalgene. - Second, adding flavoring that contains food coloring will slowly discolor the clear part of the bottle, requiring cleaning with a bottle brush or a soft cloth. over time gunk residue of flavoring liquid can slowly get into the seals and the threads on the bottom, and leaking might occur just enough that you get liquid pooling around the bottom lip that drips on you when you go to take a drink. Sometimes condensation collects in the bottom lip too, but not much. - Third, don't carbonate alcohol in these, as it will eat away at the o-rings and seals, even warping them so they fall right out. TL;DR if you want these to last, don't drink out of them and don't add flavoring in them. Instead just use them for carbonating and transfer to a drinking bottle/container.
