Sodastream deals?

[js]

Thank you very much for answering my questions about transfering the seltzer made in the Soda Stream. I drink about 1-2 liters a day so it is more for convenience. So, there are canisters I now have to exchange? How convenient is that if I still have to go to the store? I can go to Staples or BB&B but Staples is closer. If I made 7-10 bottles of seltzer a week, how many times would I need to be going to Staples?
I would like to purchase my Soda Stream soon but still have no clue which kind I need to get and guessing I need 7-10 bottles.
And now, what the heck about canisters?
THANKS!!!!

Yes it takes a CO2 canister which must be exchanged, you cannot have the refilled. They run $14.95 for the 60L canister. I believe you can purchase extra canisters so you can have a few on hand.

From their web site:
On average, the carbonator will make 60 or 130 liters of seltzer or soda.

I found my local BB&B only carried the 60L canisters, I suspect the 60 liters is based on the lowest amount of CO2 used so you will likely get less.
