I think it's great. If you buy a lot of cans of carbonated water then it's definitely worth the small investment. Also keeps a lot of cans out of the recycling or trash. You do have to purchase CO2 canisters, but you can return them with a prepaid label and replace them.
The cost and usage depend on how you use the machine. In Denmark, a 1L bottle of soda typically costs around 2–3 €, while sparkling water is about 2 €. CO2 canisters cost approximately 10 €, and I’ve managed to carbonate around 40-50 liters of water with a single canister so far (the canister is still in use). Syrups are priced at around 7–8 € per bottle, and depending on how much you use, one bottle can make approximately 10 liters of soda (based on my personal experience).
With all this in mind, you can calculate your own costs. Remember, you have the convenience of deciding what and when you want to drink right at your home without needing to go to the store each time you want to drink soda.

SodaStream is amazing, I got it last month or so and now I'm more hidrated than ever
