While we are talking about improvements to household appliances, my partner had a moment of genius yesterday: Sodastream in the fridge. Since many refrigerators today have a water dispenser, why doesn't it include an option for a carbonated water dispenser? You'd think the manufacturers would love this as they could get recurring revenue same as water filters and air filters in the form of the co2 cartridges.

Sodastream and Samsung(?) had a partnership which did just this a while back! I told myself that when my current fridge died I would get one, and was actually a bit too excited when it finally passed. Unfortunately, I scoured the market and wasn’t able to find a single one for sale, only references and manuals from models last produced several years ago.

When the repair guy told us yesterday morning that our LG was dying, it meant a day of research to replace it... I still have a bad vibe for Samsung from a crappy experience 20 years ago, and I gotta say none of their refrigerators stacked up well by comparison in my grid. Not at all happy with LG at this point given that this fridge is barely 5 years old as the experience has been the opposite of what I had with my very still functioning 15 year old LG washer and dryer. Thinking Bosch, but then when I quizzed several friends the reviews were mixed there too.

Yeah it was Samsung. I had one of these. It was fine like you'd expect. It really was just an expensive gimmick.

A new, upmarket trend here in Europe is building carbonation, filtering, cooling and boiling water directly into the tap. Which is rather nice.
