      are you kidding me? this is a great deal

    • blahman on 13/01/2015 - 19:42

      Wait what? You're negging it because the free item you get is worth $80 and not $99? When all you have to pay is $50?

    • tm001 on 13/01/2015 - 19:44

      If you would not neg the deal I would think you are just joking.
      You get bonus worth of 160-200% of the goods you purchase and you still complain?
      Selection is big enough for an ordinary chap.
      I got sodastream recently, so no need for one even if I would use Havana Club or Jameson whiskey - I will leave to people who will use the sodastream.

    Good deal. For $59.95 all up you get $50 of booze and a $80-90 sodastream.

    Shame there is no cask wine in those brands (that I'm aware of). Could have tried this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSNHfAX_vZA.

      Interesting idea. I've been looking at getting one for sparkling water (the flavour packs have no appeal) and I'm wondering if it could be used to give a bit more fizz to homemade ginger beer.

      • Adz81 on 14/01/2015 - 06:57
        +3

        On this idea, I'd suggest don't… Or do, but it will go EVERYWHERE. They're good for adding fizz to water, but anything more than that and you get a mess.

        Source Tried using it to add some fizz to homemade beer because I couldn't wait for bottle conditioning :D

        Also tried using it to refizz drinks

          Little bit more complicated than that, but in general yeah, most things foam up too much and spill out. I've tried it with tea and coffee and it works ok (from a technical point of view)… sparkling coffee tastes gross :P

          Anything that "foams" when carbonated is likely to spill out.

      • timmypete on 14/01/2015 - 12:22

    Looks good - now to find the cheapest place to get the relevant booze from! Do any of those places have an online store? (the few I tried didn't).

    Edit: I see 'Duncans' advertises Brancott at 2 for $25 which would mean 4 for $50 to qualify… but they don't seem to be in QLD :(

    • powerhammer on 14/01/2015 - 06:21

      Try searching on Boozle for the cheapest prices. Works great for beer, should work for spirits.

    These sodastream machines were around years ago, and I'm pretty sure it was a dead-end product.

    Only the past 2 years have I seen it pick up in popularity - what gives? The redesign and new rebanding? The timing is just right in the market, as people are more health-conscious than ever?

    Jacobs Creek Reserve Shiraz, a decent BBQ red, is On for 9.90 per bottle (4 bots or more) at my nearest Cellarbrations store, and I need a spare gas cylinder to feed my wife's fizzy water (unflavoured) habit. Good find.

  • duwee on 13/01/2015 - 21:07

    Just as this went frontpage, sites getting hammered! Cant even get on to claim.

  • [Deactivated] on 13/01/2015 - 21:27

    What are the prices like at those retailers? I really only shop at Dan Murphys so I'm kinda irrationally cynical of 'independents' and assume their prices will always be higher. Though I do know this isn't always the case.

    That is… does it reduce the potential awesomeness of the deal if A) you could buy the booze cheaper elsewhere and B) you could either buy that same SodaSteam machine model for less than their claimed RRP (note: $9.95 postage), or simply buy another model SS machine for like $50-65 when they're on special at K-Mart or Big W like they often are. Plus there isn't a real guarantee that everyone who claims for these SS machines will get one, as there are only 1300 remaining (though the odds are obviously decent..).

    Note I haven't negged the deal. Just thinking out loud first :P

        Done mine now. 1143 left as I completed, so pace definitely ramping up…

        Mind you, I had to deal with a Cellarbrations employee who was not the sharpest tool in the shed so a bit time-consuming.

        Bought 6 Jacobs Creek Reserve Shiraz down from 11.99 each to 9.90 each in a 4-bottle buy. He rings it up and asks me for 72 dollars. I point out the sign saying "9.90 in 4-bottle buy" and he astutely points out that I don't have a 4-bottle buy, I have a 6-bottle buy.

        Then I say I'd like to have all six at 9.90 each, or failing that, one 4-bottle buy + 2 singles.

        Manager called to adjudicate and finally I get the six at 9.90 each.

  • PurchaseAnxiety on 15/01/2015 - 18:50

    Has anyone had their claim approved yet? I'm kind of uncertain about mine, as the Thirsty Camel I went to is attached to a pub, and the receipt just lists the pub name and nothing about Thirsty Camel. I put a little note in mentioning it was indeed a Camel store, but still uncertain on it.

    • kiwipride on 15/01/2015 - 20:08

    • GordonR on 17/01/2015 - 21:21

      I logged in to the claim tracker and saw that my claim was approved (or valid, or something similar) and they were "processing payment" for the P&H. Don't know why it should take more than 0.01 seconds to take 10 bucks from a credit card, but approved is good.

      • PurchaseAnxiety on 18/01/2015 - 23:19

        Yeah, mine is now the same, which is a good sign. Guessing they're processing payments manually, or they're going to do them all in a batch? Hopefully it gets shipped soon.

  • enveloped on 16/01/2015 - 10:54

    Its consumable is expensive. Their website says "60 Litre Spare Gas Cylinder $51.95", with shipment I expect it to be $60. that makes $1 per liter of soda water. Since soda water is $0.75 per 1.25L ($0.6 per liter) in Woolworths. Woolworths ship to my door for free on order over $30 (50Liter). Using this machine is 66.7% more EXPENSIVE than buying soda water from Woolworths.

    Besides, I developed a taste of Woolworth Seleclt's sparkling mineral water and sparkling fruit juice, both are $0.81 per 1.25L ($0.65 per liter). If I use Sodastream I'll have to pay twice, once for mineral water, and once for orverpriced-carbonization, making this machine 166.7% more expensive (2.67 times the cost).

    Besides, it's hard to find spirits at $50. Most spirits are just a few dollors short, so you will have to buy two with ~$98 in reality to join. I don't know the wine part but the T&C didn't say you can mix wine and spirit. It says you either by these wines, or you buy these spirits.

    Even if the machine is free, I wouldn't take it. I will take it if the machine is shipped with 60L gas cylinder included, and not use it after cylinder expires. But no where mentioned if a cylinder comes in. Maybe such product is always shipped with a cylinder so they don't mention it. I am a new immigrant thus no experience. Can someone tell me if you are confident that a cylinder will be in it?

    The name says it, "Sodastream PLAY", it is for jovial spirits who are enamoured by bubbles. Don't let your kid see the ad, they are the real target customers, they will spoil you by asking you to buy yourself $50+ liquor to get the machine.

    Always check the price of consumable before buying the machine. Consumables makes money, machines are marketing vehicles, it's been like this since 90s with Inkjets.

    • toniyellow on 16/01/2015 - 11:21
      +4

      You don't have to buy the consumables from them. BIGW swaps the 60L cylinder out for about $20. Use cordial instead of their packaged syrups if you want flavour.

      You can also hack the machine to use larger cylinders and it becomes even cheaper. I haven't yet tried on my existing one, but I fully intend after I get this one, so no loss if I don't do it right. If it works,I can give the new one to my mum.

      Bottled water from Woolworths generates a lot of waste plastic, and often goes flat before you finish the bottle.

    • GordonR on 16/01/2015 - 11:56
      +3

      As mentioned, the gas works like a BBQ gas cylinder, so you just take the empty to the supermarket, pay about 13 dollars (for the 40l cylinder), and get a full one. You can swap a 40l for a 60l or vice versa, because you're just paying for the gas. I am sure the deal comes with a cylinder because the RRP quoted is for the full system.

      I wouldn't buy unwanted wine or spirits just to get the deal, but if you are going to drink them anyway, and the price is not too much greater than, say, Dan Murphys, it is just moving forward the purchase in order to get the deal. I bought wine that I just added to my cellar because I know I'll drink it eventually. Price was 5c more than Dan Murphys so I paid an extra 30c plus the P&H of 9.95.

      You might be overthinking this one, because it's a pretty good deal.

    Thanks OP, I reckon this is a bloody brilliant deal and I can't believe it hasn't been Ozbargained yet! I mean all I have to do is spend $50 on booze + $10 for postage and I get something that I can sell on ebay hopefully for at least $60 if I don't want to keep it or gift it (Chrissy 2015 pressies already sorted perhaps?!). Ok so I realise that I am paying a little bit more on the grog than if I got the best deal from Dan Murphy's etc but hey I'm going to use it all anyway over time. And remember that if you decide to keep or gift the Sodastream then the thing has only cost you just over $10 (the postage plus the extra you lost with not getting the best price on the booze), but if you sell it then in the end all the grog is basically free!
