I bought this as a wedding present, and the wedding g isn't till tomorrow so can not tell how it is. Unfortunately ebay has been pushing me for feedback over the last few weeks, but if I gave feedback on this item I would be lying. I think in future you should wait at least 3 to 4 weeks for feedeck as cirumstances such as this arise more commonly then you think, when buying online. I normally leave feed back but don't need to lie to do so. HOWEVER, I own an e-terra sodastream & it's Excellent
