- Does it need electricity or batteries?
- No. It is fully manual and runs on CO2 cylinder pressure alone, so there is no cord or charging.

- It works with standard 60L CO2 cylinders, the same type used by most soda makers. A cylinder is typically sold separately.

- What is in the box?
- The carbonator unit and a PET bottle. Check the listing for whether a CO2 cylinder is included, since bundles vary.
- How does it compare with SodaStream models?
