How does the Art differ from the SodaStream Terra and Spirit?

The Art uses a pull-forward lever instead of a button or push-down top, and it has a more design-led body. Carbonation works the same way and uses the same CO2 cylinders and bottles.

What CO2 cylinder does it take?

It uses SodaStream's standard screw-in 60L cylinder, the same one as most of the range. You exchange empty cylinders rather than buying new ones each time.

Can I carbonate juice or flavored drinks in it?

No. Carbonate plain water only, then add SodaStream flavor drops or syrup afterward. Carbonating anything else can damage the machine and make a mess.

What comes in the box?

The maker itself plus one SodaStream plastic bottle. A CO2 cylinder is usually included in starter bundles but not always, so check the listing before buying.

Does it need electricity or batteries?

No. The CO2 cylinder provides the pressure, so there is no cord, charging or battery to worry about.

Is it worth it over a cheaper SodaStream model?

If you want the lever action and a machine you are happy to leave on display, yes. If you only care about fizz, the cheaper Spirit or Terra does the same job.
