I’m curious, what’s an item, tool, or purchase you own that you feel has completely justified its cost over time? Could be anything from a gadget to a piece of furniture or even software. What made it worth it for you?

    My Sodastream has saved me a lot of money—with some cheap syrups I just make very inexpensive nice drinks. Especially considering I got mine second-hand and refill it through a local guy who fills the cylinders for half the price. I suppose I could save even more money if I figure out how to refill the cylinders myself.

      Im one of the folks who has one but stopped using it. likley still got my value out of it as much as I did though. I can recommend getting an adapter cable to connect to a standard tank. It does take up more room. I had the soda stream on a counter with the cable going to the tank on the floor. Super cheap to get them filled and last forever.

      I have one and used it for a long time but the fact is it just can’t generate as much carbonation as drinks you buy commercially.
