i have seven cats. I didn't start off crazy, I just started with two. And found a kitten. And found a feral pregnant cat, who had 4 kittens. And found yet another kitten.

Got these on my road bike right now until I move to clipless. These are great at catching and holding my tennis shoes (which are slick on the bottom) but they are really big, so keep that in mind

Avoid the frustration free packaging version this product -- it can cause lots of frustration. The frustration free version comes with a 6L starter carbonator that you are supposed to be able to exchange for a full size 60L carbonator for free. I was able to do this exchange at my local Staples store for a $14.99 fee. You have to send the exchange fee receipt along with a rebate form to SodaStream to be reimbursed. After waiting several weeks, the rebate center informed me my application was denied because Staples had given me a receipt that did not include the date. This was plenty frustrating and could have been avoided by buying the regular packaging version that comes with a 60L carbonator. Other than this rebate wrangling, I am very happy with this model and use it all the time.

The paint finish on then is quite good. However even after installing 3 covers, the last one snapped even though I used the same technique to install as the first 3.

Put it in with the coolant has gotten close to overheating but hasn't yet. Hopefully it can last another 10,000 miles.
