What the AI looks for in Soda Makers
- Gas cylinder type
- Quick Connect (pink) cylinders and screw-in cylinders are not interchangeable across models. Buying the wrong cylinder type is a common mistake.
- Bottle compatibility
- Use only bottles made for your model, and respect their expiry dates. Mismatched or expired bottles are a safety risk.
- Water only versus flavored
- Most machines should carbonate plain water only. Add flavor after carbonating. Carbonating other liquids in them makes a mess and can void the warranty.
- Gas exchange
- Check that cylinder exchange is available near you. Running costs depend on refills.
Brands that matter
- SodaStream: The market leader with the widest gas exchange.
- Drinkmate: Can carbonate any liquid.
- Aarke: Premium stainless steel design.
What to avoid
- Using the wrong cylinder type
- Using bottles past their expiry date
Questions
Can I put juice in it?
