Best Soda Makers

Well, what sets it apart from other SodaStream soda makers? SodaStream machines are manually operated which gives you an opportunity to add as many bubbles as you like. On the other hand, you have to hold the button as long as you fizz and the final results will never be the same.

To eliminate the guesswork and let you get the consistent fizziness of your drinks, the Fizzi One Touch is a powered model that comes with 3 preset carbonation levels. On the top of the machine you’ll find three buttons for a mild, medium, and strong fizz accordingly. Hence, you just need to install a CO2 cartridge, click the bottle with clean water into place, push a button depending on the desired amount of fizz, and let the unit do the rest for you. That’s it, no hidden catch. It’s a true one-touch operation, hence the model name.

The Fizzi One Touch comes in a complete bundle with everything you need to carbonate seltzer at home. Not only will it let you enjoy the ultimate ease of use and convenience of operation to the fullest but you can also start transforming ordinary tap water into bubble infused drinks once you unpack the box.

Along with the unit, you’ll get a CO2 cylinder capable of carbonating up to 60 L of water (depending on the chosen fizz level) and a slim 1L bottle made of food-grade BPA-free plastic to create a stock of your favorite sparkling water and store it in the fridge.

The Jet is one of the basic models from SodaStream. Yet, it still comes complete with everything you need to start carbonating right out of the box. A 1L carbonator bottle will let you make enough soda for a whole pitcher of bubbly lemonade or several fizzy drinks. Meanwhile, a CO2 cylinder allows carbonating 60L of water and will last up to a month or even longer before you need a new one, depending on your drinking needs. Notably, this semi-automatic machine is compatible with all SodaStream bottles, while the bottles made of durable food-safe BPA-free plastic are reusable, thus, giving you an opportunity to reduce your plastic wastes.

In order to put a bottle in place, all you need is to simply screw it in the bottle holder, which should be done pretty quickly, thanks to a special snap-lock bottle insertion allowing it to instantly snap into place.

While many other soda makers require an additional CO2 cylinder, this one already comes with a mini CO2 test cylinder. This way, you can start using this stylish device straight out-of-the-box.

The appliance uses neither batteries nor electricity - the carbonation process requires only a carbonator. Once you install the carbonator, you'll need to screw a bottle and press a single button only. It's worth emphasizing that the machine can be powered by a standard 60L CO2 carbonator cylinder as well.

The appliance is quite unpretentious in maintenance. All you need to do after carbonation is remove the bottle and rinse it with water. The bottom cap of the bottle is also removable (by twisting) for cleaning, however, keep note that neither the bottle nor the cap is dishwasher-safe, so make sure to clean them only with hands. Also, you should avoid using brushes, abrasives and chemical detergents.

Speaking of the carbonating unit, you can wipe it clean with a damp cloth. Don't immerse it in water or use solvents so as not to damage the surface. Also, don't forget to clean Fizz Infuser under running water after each use.

The basics SodaStream machines stand out for include high-quality durable and hygienic materials that are absolutely safe for your health and environment, make the unit maintenance a breeze, and prolong its service life to the maximum; a no-frills design that requires no assembly and makes SodaStream soda makers easy to use; intuitive controls for quick and almost effortless carbonation; the company proprietary snap-lock technology keeping the bottle securely in place and saving you the need to hold it while carbonating, and, easy frizz adjustability to make your soda your way. All of this is what soda fans love about SodaStream and exactly what you will get with the Fizzi machine. The model comes with a Mini CO2 carbonator to make up to 9L of sparkling water and a 60L gas cylinder that will last for several weeks and can be exchanged for a full one just at the price of gas.

Speaking of the unit design, it is minimalistic yet stylish and very modern. A sleek body in a black glossy finish and featuring capsule-shaped design looks somewhat futuristic and will perfectly blend with any hi-tech, modern, and loft interiors as well as add a contemporary touch to more traditional interior styles.

If the functionality and up-to-date design concept are your major goals when choosing a SodaStream machine, the SodaStream Fizzi is the right model to go for.

When it comes to SodaStream machines drawbacks, quite often customers complain that appliances are pretty bulky and require extra space on the countertop. It might become a real issue for those who have concise kitchens or live in small city apartments limited in space. And even if you have a large kitchen with ample space on your countertop, you still might face some inconvenience since there might be many other kitchen appliances you’d like to place there, from an electric kettle to a coffee maker and toaster. Yet, with the Frizzi, you won’t have that problem. This model is one of the slimmest units in a SodaStream product range. Engineered in a company own lab, it was created with modern kitchen needs in mind and boasts a truly space-efficient design that will fit into any kitchen or bar.

The unit's design is slightly complex, but certainly well-thought-out. We especially like its stainless steel part, which keeps the bottle encased. Although the glass of the bottle is durable, and there have been no cases of its explosion, it's nice to know that even something happens, it will remain inside. The tip inside the device is thin, however, it extends into the bottle when in use, thus preventing water spillage. Each bottle is 0.65 l, so it should be enough to make a small stock. Together with the soda machine, you also get a 60-L gas cylinder that allows you to make as much as 60 liters of delicious fizzy water.

Perhaps the only downside of the device is that before it gets broken in, the water might have a bit metallic taste. However, this isn't that big of an issue, especially since that most people use special flavors to improve the taste. Speaking of which, the options for flavors are virtually limitless!

All told, the SodaStream Aqua Fizz is a great option for making delicious sparkling water at home. It features a premium design and comes with 2 glass bottles that give the beverage a better taste and allow it to be stored in the fridge for longer.
