5.0 out of 5 stars So easy to use and worked flawlessly
Great price and extremely easy to use... just have to open the valve slowly whit the tank up side down to get the liquid out to refill the bottles, you do not want the gas to fill the bottle, so far filled 2 bottles without a hiccup, bottle actually seem to get filled more than when you purchase them new, I felt them heavier than when replaced by Sodastream. A refill of a 5Lbs CO2 tube is $15 ($25 for a 20Lb), you can fill at least 5 of the small bottles with the 5Lbs, it pays itself off very fast if you use your soda machine as I do.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works great so far
This has worked perfectly for a few weeks now. It's very simple compared to the setup I had previously that had a long hose, gauge, 2 valves, etc... this simple solution is much easier and faster, with much less waste of CO2 from pressure relief. I'm refilling the blue SS tanks from a 20# CO2 tank with a siphon hose. If you get the replacement valve for the SS tank it gets even easier and faster to fill because you can just open the big tank valve quickly and all at once. I wish I had gotten this sooner as opposed to the hose setup. We'll see how durable the relief valve is as others have mentioned. So far it's fine. I'm being very gentle with it, just barely cracking it open. It came with several extra o-rings too which was nice.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bleed screw easily breaks, otherwise, simple and easy
Had previously bought: https://www.Bolo.com/gp/product/B089GXJ3T3 ... this is so much simpler (less clumsy), and the hoses on the other side quickly deteriorate and leak... this is much simpler and less expensive... EXCEPT FOR THE BLEED SCREW. It was leaking, so I tightened it, and it broke off. Don't use the bleed screw to release pressure, just unscrew the sodastream bottle (carefully). There's not a lot of trapped gas to release in this design.I used both sodastream bottles with refillable and unrefillable end caps... from my previous experience, I knew "get as much as you can into the unrefillable style, and be happy with what you get".I did see in one one video: freeze the empty bottle prior to refilling. Good idea.Another video said this comes without a pin needed to fill the bottle, and they used a screwdriver on the end... with no explanation. I'm not following this, nor know what the pin that not's included is referring to., The bottles seemed to fill correctly anyway.
1.0 out of 5 stars Super easy to refill Soda Stream tube. Use tips in review.
EDIT:I left the positive review below a few months ago, but now have to revise downward for one simple reason. The metal used on the relief valve thumbscrew is utter garbage. After only a few months of use, the head completely sheared off while hand tightening this valve, leaving the unit useless. Looking at the broken off edges, it appears to be cast form extremely low grade, weak, pot metal. A pity, too, because the brass connector itself appears quire well made.Dropping this to one star and recommending you look somewhere else, as this unit just won't hold up.ORIGINAL REVIEW:I picked up one of these to fill classic Soda Stream CO2 tubes from a 10lb tube I use for a kegerator setup, and so far it has worked out quite well. It's machined from solid brass and is quite effective if you know what you are doing. I'd give this five stars, but the o ring on the relief valve was installed incorrectly, so it leaked out of the box. Luckily, it included multiple replacement O rings, so it was an easy fix.Some use tips:1. Your Soda Stream tube MUST be at freezing temperatures in order to fill properly. This is because the pressure CO2 is liquid and will gassify as it hits the warm tube, preventing a full fill. I put mine on ice about an hour before filling for best results.2. Point your source cylinder DOWNWARD while filling, which will allow the CO2 to flow into the Soda Stream tube.3. Open the valve on your source canister slowly, until you hear the gas flowing. The Soda Stream tube has a lockout on the pin that will prevent the flow if you open the valve too quickly.4. After you've filled your Soda Stream tube, close the valve on your source cylinder, and turn the relief valve on the coupler to vent excess gas. This will make it a lot easier to remove the coupler.5. Since this is an unregulated coupler, this will fill until the pressure on each side is equalized. Therefore, your best fills will come when your source tube is full. If you are filling from an emptier cylinder, your Soda Stream tube will not fill fully.
5.0 out of 5 stars Works like a charm
Our soda stream had been sitting idle for a long time. For half the cost of refilling one of those tiny tanks, this product brought our soda stream back to life. Our healthy water consumption has doubled since we received this adapter.
2.0 out of 5 stars Worked great until relief valve broke after 5 uses
This valve worked great but unfortunately only lasted about 5 uses before the pressure relief valve screw broke off inside the adapter.

Empty soda stream canister weights 728 grams, I was able to fill mine up to 1087g, so 359g of CO2.If "full" CO2 weights 410g, then I filled mine up to ~88%. Pretty good so far.Used all tricks mentioned in other comments, that is putting soda stream canister into the freezer overnight, pressed the valve on the soda stream canister until it wasn't hissing (to empty any residual pressure), and filled it with source tank upside-down, very slowly, over like ~4 minutes of time (until hissing sound stopped).Now does it make sense financially?- Price of refilling my 10lb tank is at around $8.3/kg of CO2 (10lb = ~4.5kg, $37 / 4.5kg = $8.22)- price of switching out the soda stream canister at walmart comes up to $41.5/kg ($17 per canister containing 410g of CO2, so $17/0.410 = $41.46/kg)- initial cost of filled 10lb tank $155 + $20 for this adapterSo if my math is correct, and it's been a while since I went to school, it comes up to even out at 5.3kg used, so almost 13 soda stream tank replacements. Not great but since more people than just me used the machine, and original tank lasted maybe two weeks, then it evens out well under one year.One more tip - probably best place to get the big tank of CO2 is local "brewing supplies shop" (by searching just that I found one like ~18 minutes from my house).
Does the job
Easy to use, no problem, i recommend watching some videos before attempting to do it and wear gloves and glasses if not sure what youre doing this isnt idiot proof. Freeze your canisters before filling.
