potstickers are one of my favorite foods. I had no idea that Wolfgang Puck has a frozen variety. I can’t wait to try them!!! (especially after the rave reviews) Thanks for the heads up on these

Hello Bonnie, Bryan and Eric. I just came across your site. I love its title and you all provide great information. It’s awesome that you donate excess food samples to local charities too. I write a similar blog called Nibbles of Tidbits. It’s not as specifically accomplished as yours, but I can relate to your passions for food. And if I ever get up to the food sample capacity as Bite of the Best, know that you’ve inspired me to deliver the excess to needy people. Good luck with ALL!

Slurp, Thanks for both of your postings about this issue. I too would be upset if I had driven all over the area to try to find carbonators. May I suggest giving Soda Club customer service a call at 1.800.763.2258… I’m sure they will assist you.

I love my Soda Club (now SodaStream) machine, using it every day.

I bought SodaStream soda water maker partially because of Bite of the Best’s positive review of it. My experience on getting refills for the gas has been terrible and others need to know what is involved in trying to get the gas cylandars refilled. I bought the 3 carbonator package from SodaStream as a Christmas ’08 present for my husband, Peter. We are very unhappy with the product because when we bought it we purposely bought the 3rd extra cartridge so that we would not have to go without soda water while getting 2 carbonators re-filled by the company (which is how they advertised it then). Now they have increased the minimum and will only accept a refill order of at least 3 carbonators???? Now they expect me to buy yet another one or go without the gas while shipping back and forth??? This is very bad business. Further, I called in to their phone number about a week ago and was told that for sure Kohl’s (a big chain of department stores) had exchange carbonators and yesterday I drove 20 miles out to Kohl’s to find out that it was not true. So I checked on line on the SodaStream site and today they claim that Williams Sonoma has exchanges. I just spoke to Williams Sonoma in Emeryville, CA (the closest to us) and they said that it would be at least 30 days until they MIGHT have exchange carbonators!!!! They said that SodaStream does not keep up with their orders at all! They said that customers are waiting and are very mad. Also, when at Kohl’s yesterday, I saw that the whole new set-up like ours was much cheaper than the one that I bought from SodaStream last winter by about 35%!!!! It cost’s a fortune to ship to SodaStream. The amount of Co2 required should cost very little (a few cents) at a normal refill station. We did research and found that the cylanders are fitted with European heads so that they cannot be refilled at camping, scuba, etc stores for a fair price for the gas. We did see that some people are making new heads for the cylandars so that they can be refilled for a fraction of the price that Soda Stream is charging.
Two emails to the company and no response. Very discouraging.
