Frequently asked questions
Cancel Sodastream: The Right Way
How to cancel your Sodastream service and stop cylinder exchanges in the UK
Why you might want to cancel Sodastream
Sodastream markets itself as an affordable and environmentally conscious way to enjoy sparkling water at home, but the ongoing costs often exceed initial expectations. You invest in the machine upfront, then commit to regular cylinder exchanges that accumulate into substantial annual spending. Many UK households discover that monthly or bi-monthly cylinder refills at £10 to £12 per unit quickly add up, especially when you factor in the initial machine cost and flavour concentrate purchases.
If you are reconsidering this commitment, you are not alone. Whether your household consumption has dropped, you have switched to a competing brand, or the recurring expense no longer justifies the convenience, cancelling your Sodastream service is entirely within your rights. Yafee recognises that cancellation is a sensible financial decision when a service no longer aligns with your needs and budget.
Common reasons households cancel Sodastream
You might be cancelling because your usage patterns have changed since you purchased the machine. Perhaps your household size has reduced, your taste preferences have shifted, or you have discovered cheaper alternatives for sparkling water. Rising costs of living and tighter household budgets push many consumers to reassess subscriptions and recurring expenses. Some households find that the environmental appeal does not offset the financial burden, particularly when they realise that reusable bottles and shop-bought sparkling water offer comparable convenience at lower cost.
Financial reality check: what you are actually spending
Let us break down the true annual cost of Sodastream ownership. A basic Terra machine costs £79.99 upfront. If you exchange cylinders once per month at £11 per cylinder, you spend £132 yearly on gas alone. Add in flavour concentrate purchases-even modest use at £4.50 per bottle twice monthly-and you invest another £108 annually. That is over £240 per year in recurring costs before considering any replacement parts or accessories. For many UK households, that is equivalent to a weekly expense that could be redirected elsewhere.
Yafee encourages you to calculate your own spending by reviewing your Sodastream purchase history, adding up all cylinder exchanges and flavour bottles over the past year, and comparing that total against your actual satisfaction with the service. This clarity often makes the cancellation decision straightforward.
Understanding your consumer rights when cancelling Sodastream
UK consumer law gives you strong protections when cancelling services, and these protections apply directly to Sodastream purchases and the cylinder exchange programme.
The consumer contracts regulations 2013 and distance selling
If you purchased your Sodastream machine online or through distance channels (telephone, mail order, or e-commerce), you have a statutory 14-day right to cancel under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. This right applies even if the machine works perfectly. You must notify Sodastream within 14 calendar days of receiving your order, and the company must refund you within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. You are responsible for return postage unless Sodastream's terms specifically offer prepaid returns; Sodastream does provide pre-paid Collect+ returns labels for cylinder exchanges, so check whether this applies to your machine purchase.
However, if you purchased in-store or your 14-day window has passed, this distance-selling protection no longer applies. Instead, you fall under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 for faulty goods and misrepresentation claims. If your machine is faulty or does not match the description Sodastream provided, you can pursue a refund or replacement within six years, though the burden of proof shifts to you after six months.
Cancelling the cylinder exchange service
Your legal position: Sodastream's cylinder exchange programme is not technically a subscription with a binding contract term. You purchase cylinders individually as needed, and you are not locked into a minimum number of exchanges per month or year. This means you can stop ordering cylinders at any time without formal notice or penalty. However, if you registered for a rewards programme or loyalty scheme that charges a membership fee, you may need to cancel that separately to avoid ongoing deductions.
If Sodastream has misled you about the cost or frequency of exchanges, or if the service does not match the description you were given at the point of sale, you can escalate your complaint to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service, which investigates breaches of consumer law on your behalf.
Step-by-step guide to cancelling Sodastream
Follow these procedures to cancel your Sodastream service and ensure you stop all future charges and deliveries.
Step 1: locate your Sodastream account and contact details
- Log in to your Sodastream account at sodastream.co.uk using your email address and password.
- If you have forgotten your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page and follow the email instructions to reset it.
- If you do not have an online account, find your order confirmation email from when you purchased your machine.
- Note your customer account number and the email address associated with your Sodastream account.
- Check your most recent cylinder exchange order to confirm your current delivery address and payment method on file.
Step 2: cancel through your online Sodastream account
- Log in to your Sodastream account at sodastream.co.uk.
- Navigate to the "My Orders" or "Account Settings" section.
- Look for an option to "Cancel Subscription", "Manage Deliveries", or "Pause Service".
- Select "Cancel" and confirm your decision when prompted.
- Sodastream will send you a confirmation email within 24 hours; save this as proof of cancellation.
Step 3: cancel by contacting Sodastream customer support
If you cannot cancel through your online account or if the online cancellation does not go through, contact Sodastream by post, email, or telephone.
- Call Sodastream UK customer service on 0345 606 7000 (Monday to Friday, 08:00 to 18:00; Saturday 09:00 to 17:00).
- Alternatively, visit sodastream.co.uk and use the "Contact Us" form to send a written cancellation request.
- Or post a written request to: Sodastream UK Limited, Unit 3a Southpoint Business Park, Ensign Way, London, SW18 4UQ.
- In your message, state clearly: "I wish to cancel my Sodastream service effective immediately" and include your account number, full name, and email address.
- Request written confirmation of cancellation and note the date you sent your request.
Step 4: verify that future cylinder exchanges have been cancelled
- Log back into your Sodastream account 3 to 5 working days after your cancellation request.
- Check your account settings to confirm that no future deliveries are scheduled.
- If any future orders remain pending, contact Sodastream again immediately with your cancellation confirmation email.
- Set a calendar reminder to check your account in 30 days to ensure no surprise charges have appeared.
Step 5: return or store your machine and cylinders
- You are not required to return your Sodastream machine unless you are exercising the 14-day distance-selling cancellation right (in which case you must return it at your own expense unless Sodastream provides a prepaid label).
- If you have full or empty cylinders on hand, Sodastream will provide a pre-paid Collect+ returns label via email upon request.
- Pack the cylinders securely and arrange collection through the Collect+ service using the label provided.
- Keep the receipt and tracking number as proof of return.
Refunds and what happens to your payment methods
Refund procedures depend on when you cancelled and whether you are within the 14-day statutory cancellation window.
Refunds within 14 days of purchase
If you purchased your Sodastream machine online and cancel within 14 calendar days, you are entitled to a full refund under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013. Sodastream will process your refund within 14 days of receiving your cancellation notice. The refund will go back to your original payment method (credit card, debit card, or PayPal). Check your bank statement 7 to 10 working days after you submit your cancellation request; refunds can take up to 5 working days to appear, depending on your bank.
Refunds after 14 days
If you cancel after the 14-day window, you are not entitled to a refund for the machine itself unless it is faulty or does not match the description you were given. However, you should not be charged for any future cylinder exchanges once your cancellation is confirmed. If Sodastream continues to charge you after cancellation, dispute the transaction with your bank or card provider immediately and provide them with your cancellation confirmation email as evidence.
Cancelling a rewards or loyalty membership
If you enrolled in a Sodastream rewards programme that charges a membership fee, you must cancel this separately. Yafee advises you to check your account settings under "Memberships" or "Subscriptions" and remove any paid programmes before you cancel your main service. Contact Sodastream support to confirm whether any outstanding membership charges will be refunded or credited.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling Sodastream
You are taking the right steps by planning your cancellation carefully, and avoiding these pitfalls will ensure a smooth process with no surprise charges or complications.
Mistake 1: assuming that deleting your account cancels your service
Deleting your Sodastream account does not automatically cancel your cylinder exchange service or remove your payment method. You must explicitly select "Cancel Service" or "Stop Deliveries" before your account is closed. Simply abandoning your account will not prevent future charges; Sodastream will continue to attempt to charge you for exchanges until you formally cancel.
Mistake 2: failing to keep a copy of your cancellation confirmation
Always save the cancellation confirmation email that Sodastream sends you. If a dispute arises-for example, if Sodastream charges you again after cancellation-this email is your proof that you cancelled on a specific date. Without it, you will struggle to challenge unauthorised charges with your bank or card provider.
Mistake 3: not checking your account after cancellation
Set a calendar reminder to log in to your Sodastream account 30 days after cancellation to verify that no new orders have been scheduled. Some users report that cancellation requests do not process correctly on the first attempt, and a follow-up check can catch this before you are charged again.
Mistake 4: overlooking loyalty programme charges
If you enrolled in a Sodastream Plus rewards scheme or similar membership, this may be charged separately from your cylinder orders. Cancelling your main service does not automatically cancel any paid loyalty membership. Log in and check your subscription settings, or contact Sodastream to confirm all memberships have been removed.
Mistake 5: returning cylinders without a pre-paid label
Sodastream provides pre-paid Collect+ returns labels for cylinders at no cost, but only if you request one. Do not pay for return postage yourself. Contact Sodastream and ask for a prepaid label before you send any cylinders back, otherwise you will incur unnecessary cost.
What happens after you cancel Sodastream
Cancellation is complete, but there are a few final steps to ensure a clean break and protect yourself from future charges.
Update your payment method across other services
If the payment card you used for Sodastream is no longer in active use, no further action is needed. However, if you use that card for other services, ensure it is still valid and that you have not received any duplicate charges. Yafee recommends reviewing your bank or card provider's transaction history monthly for 90 days after cancellation to catch any delayed or erroneous charges.
Consider a chargeback if unauthorised charges continue
If Sodastream charges you again after you have cancelled, contact your bank or card provider immediately. Provide them with your cancellation confirmation email and ask them to dispute the transaction on your behalf. This is known as a chargeback, and your bank can reverse the charge if you can prove you cancelled the service. The Citizens Advice Consumer Service can also support you in escalating this complaint if Sodastream refuses to acknowledge your cancellation.
Dispose of or repurpose your machine and cylinders
You retain ownership of your Sodastream machine after cancellation. You can keep it as a backup, sell it on a second-hand marketplace, or donate it to a charity. Empty cylinders must be returned using a pre-paid label if you no longer want them; never throw a pressurised cylinder in household waste. If you wish to dispose of full cylinders, contact Sodastream for safe disposal instructions.
Pricing comparison: Sodastream versus alternatives
Before you finalise your cancellation, consider how Sodastream's cost compares to your alternatives, to ensure you are making the right choice for your household.
| Product or service | Initial cost | Annual running cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sodastream (cylinder exchange) | £79.99 | £240 (12 exchanges + flavours) | Most flexible option; cylinders reusable indefinitely. |
| Supermarket sparkling water (multipacks) | £0 | £150 to £200 | Requires regular shopping trips; plastic or aluminium waste. |
| Filtered tap water plus flavouring sachets | £25 to £60 | £30 to £50 | Lowest cost; requires manual carbonation or separate soda maker. |
| Third-party soda makers (e.g., Aarke, Drinkmate) | £150 to £400 | £100 to £150 | Compatible with standard CO2 cartridges; upfront cost higher. |
| Home carbonation system (e.g., Levoni) | £200 to £600 | £50 to £100 | Premium option; professional-grade carbonation and fewer consumables. |
| Cancellation and stoppage (savings retained) | £0 | £0 (after cancellation) | Best option if sparkling water is a luxury, not a necessity. |
If Sodastream refuses to cancel your service
In rare cases, a company may ignore or delay your cancellation request. Yafee provides you with the escalation route if Sodastream does not respond promptly or refuses your cancellation.
Step 1: send a formal written cancellation notice
If you have already contacted Sodastream online or by telephone with no response, send a formal cancellation letter by Royal Mail Special Delivery to their head office. Address it to: Sodastream UK Limited, Unit 3a Southpoint Business Park, Ensign Way, London, SW18 4UQ. State clearly: "I formally cancel my Sodastream service and all associated cylinder exchanges, effective immediately. Please confirm cancellation in writing within 7 working days." Keep the Royal Mail receipt as proof of delivery.
Step 2: dispute charges with your bank or card provider
If Sodastream continues to charge you after you have submitted a formal cancellation notice, contact your bank or card provider immediately. Provide them with a copy of your cancellation email (or Royal Mail receipt, if posted) and ask them to dispute the charge. Your bank can reverse unauthorised transactions and may refund you within 30 days.
Step 3: escalate to the citizens advice consumer service
If Sodastream has breached the Consumer Rights Act 2015 by failing to acknowledge your cancellation or continuing to charge you without consent, you can file a complaint with the Citizens Advice Consumer Service. This organisation investigates unfair contract terms and trading practice breaches on behalf of UK consumers. Contact them at citizensadvice.org.uk/consumer or by telephone. Yafee advises that formal complaints often prompt companies to respond within 14 days.
Step 4: small claims court
If Sodastream has charged you repeatedly after cancellation and refuses to refund the money, you can pursue a small claims court action through HM Courts and Tribunals Service. You will need to provide evidence of your cancellation request, the refusal to cancel, and copies of the unauthorised charges. For claims under £10,000, the process is straightforward and does not require a solicitor. However, this is a last resort and should only be pursued if other methods have failed.

Customer reviews and why people cancel
Real Sodastream users report mixed experiences, and understanding their reasons for cancellation can help you confirm that you are making the right decision for your household.
Common themes in cancellation feedback
Users cite rising costs as the primary reason for cancellation, with many reporting that they initially underestimated annual spending. Others mention that the environmental benefit is negated by the plastic bottle waste used for flavouring and the energy cost of carbonation. A minority report mechanical issues with machines that fail after one to two years, and Sodastream's replacement warranty does not cover user damage or normal wear and tear.
On the positive side, users who remain satisfied praise the convenience of home carbonation and the reduction in single-use plastic bottles compared to supermarket sparkling water. However, Yafee notes that satisfaction is highest among households with high daily sparkling water consumption (4 or more litres per day); for lower consumption, the cost per litre exceeds shop-bought alternatives.
Summary: your next steps
Cancelling your Sodastream service is straightforward when you follow the procedures outlined above. Log in to your account, select "Cancel Service", request a cancellation confirmation email, and verify 30 days later that no new orders are scheduled. If Sodastream does not respond, escalate to the Citizens Advice Consumer Service or dispute the charges with your bank.
Yafee has guided thousands of consumers through the cancellation process, and our experience shows that most cancellations are completed within 5 working days when you provide clear written notice. Keep your confirmation email, monitor your bank account for 90 days, and do not hesitate to escalate if Sodastream continues to charge you after you have cancelled.
