How UK Shoppers Cut Costs at Drinkmate

Drinkmate sells the OmniFizz sparkling water and soda maker, which the retailer says can carbonate any cold drink directly rather than limiting users to water. Its UK shop also lists machine-only options, bundles with one or more 60L CO2 cylinders, a Party Pack Bundle, CO2 refill cylinders and accessories. That gives shoppers several ways to compare the upfront machine cost with the supplies they are likely to need later.

This guide helps UK shoppers reduce the amount they pay at checkout by comparing bundle prices, checking the retailer’s own sale section, accounting for delivery thresholds and using the CO2 Exchange Programme where it fits. The aim is to judge the complete order total, not simply look for a headline saving. Prices, stock and checkout conditions can change, so confirm the final figures before placing an order.

Start with the sale section

Drinkmate UK has a dedicated Sale page, making it a sensible first stop before browsing the standard product range. The retailer currently lists selected OmniFizz bundles there, including a one-cylinder bundle, a three-cylinder bundle and a Party Pack Bundle. A sale label alone does not show whether an item is the right value for you, so compare the reduced price with the contents of each package.

Check what is included before choosing a bundle. A lower purchase price may suit someone buying a first machine, while a larger package may be more useful if you already know you will need spare cylinders. If you only need the appliance, compare the machine-only listing with bundle prices rather than paying for supplies you will not use soon.

Compare the cost per cylinder

CO2 is an ongoing part of using a Drinkmate machine. The UK shop lists 60L cylinders individually and in multipacks. Comparing the total price with the number of cylinders can help you identify the most suitable option for your expected usage. A multipack may reduce the effective price per cylinder, but only if you can store and use the extras responsibly.

Do not compare cylinder prices in isolation. Add delivery to the basket and check whether the order qualifies for the retailer’s stated delivery threshold. The product price that looks cheapest before checkout may not produce the lowest delivered total once postage is included.

Use the CO2 Exchange Programme

Drinkmate UK describes an exchange process for empty cylinders. Once you have two or more empty cylinders, the retailer says you can use the return box supplied with the cylinders and the provided return label. After the cylinders are shipped back, an exchange coupon is sent to the email address provided, and that coupon can be applied at checkout towards another cylinder purchase.

The retailer states that returning two 60L cylinders produces a £16 coupon, returning three produces a £25 coupon and returning four produces a £36 coupon. This is a specific cylinder-exchange benefit, not a general saving on every Drinkmate order. Keep the tracking number and check your Promotions or Spam folder if the coupon has not appeared one business day after delivery is recorded.

For regular users, the exchange route may be more relevant than searching for a one-off promotion. Check the programme instructions and make sure the cylinders meet the stated requirements before sending anything back.

Work around delivery costs

Drinkmate UK states that tracked delivery within two working days is free when you spend over £40 across Mainland UK, Monday to Friday. Orders valued at £39.99 or less are stated to incur a £5.99 standard delivery charge. The retailer also lists a £12.99 standard delivery charge for certain areas, including the Scottish Highlands and Islands, Northern Ireland, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, the Scilly Isles and the Isle of Wight.

Use the delivered total as your comparison figure. If your basket is just below the free-delivery threshold and you already need a refill or accessory, adding a useful item may be more economical than paying a separate delivery charge. Do not add an unwanted product merely to qualify; compare both totals first. Delivery wording and exclusions should be checked for your postcode during checkout.

Check the basket before applying savings

Drinkmate’s site states that discounts and shipping are calculated at checkout. Review the basket for the correct product, cylinder quantity and any sale pricing before entering payment details. Make sure the displayed currency is pounds sterling and that your delivery location is set correctly for the UK. This is particularly important if you are comparing a standard product page with an item in the Sale section.

If the retailer offers a promotional code field at checkout, enter a code only after checking its terms, expiry date, product restrictions and any minimum spend. If no code field is displayed, do not assume that a code can be used: instead, check whether the saving has already been reflected in the item price, whether the order qualifies for a delivery offer, or whether you have an eligible CO2 exchange coupon. Never treat an unconfirmed code as a guaranteed discount.

Choose the right starting package

The OmniFizz range includes machine-only and cylinder-bundle formats. For a first purchase, compare the machine-only price with the cost of buying a cylinder separately. For an existing owner, a refill multipack or exchange purchase may be more relevant than another machine bundle. Consider how often you carbonate drinks, how many people use the appliance and whether you have enough storage space.

Drinkmate says its OmniFizz can carbonate any cold drink, and the retailer also provides recipes for cocktails, mocktails and flavour-infused drinks. Those features may influence which package is practical, but they should not encourage unnecessary spending. Buy the configuration that matches your actual use rather than selecting the largest bundle automatically.

Quick checklist

• Check the Drinkmate UK Sale section before selecting a standard listing.
• Compare machine-only and cylinder-bundle prices by contents and delivered total.

• Check whether your basket qualifies for the stated Mainland UK delivery threshold.
• Confirm postcode-specific delivery charges before paying.
• Use the CO2 Exchange Programme if you have the required empty cylinders.
