and it is one of his favorite toys! Right up there with his Foosball table! ( I used a 20% off coupon from Kohl's)

There are ways to solve most of your concerns, esp about the canisters. Check out CO2 doctor link from the discussion.

I try to break hubby of his diet coke habit. He still sneaks one in when he's inclined, but he likes fizzy water and you can get your water extra fizzy with the soda stream. For flavor, we don't buy the syrups. We just use a slash of juice. Very refreshing!

I have used various other things like tea or a squeeze of fruit or even a smushed berry or two. The possibilities are fun!
