Best soda makers for sparkling water
Researched by Deal.ai's shopping agent across stores on November 2, 2026. Prices below are today's.
Top pick: SodaStream Terra — the easiest place to start. Push-button carbonation, a screw-in 60 L CO₂ cylinder, and bottles and refills you can find in almost any supermarket, so you're never stuck hunting for gas.
Who the others suit:
- Aarke Carbonator 3 — if it's going on the counter and you want it to look like a design piece; steel body, same simple pull-lever action.
- Drinkmate OmniFizz kits — if you want to fizz more than water: juice, iced tea, wine spritzers. Bundles with spare cylinders mean fewer refill runs.
- Ninja Thirsti — for households that want flavoured drinks and soda, not just plain bubbles.
- SodaStream Classic / MIX — budget-friendly basics if you only ever want plain sparkling water.
- Cheap no-name machines — only if you're experimenting; build quality and CO₂ compatibility are the gamble.
Whatever you pick, the cylinder refill is the running cost that matters most.
