Give your water an extra sparkle at home with a soda maker. Our experts review soda makers from brands including SodaStream, Breville, Aarke and more to see how easy they are to operate and how well they work.

Our tests results show you which soda makers:

• can carbonate the most water from a single canister of C02
• are the easiest to use when installing and removing C02 canisters
• are the easiest to operate during carbonation
• have the least water spillage
• have consistent carbonation controls

We also compare automatic and manual soda makers to note the pros and cons of each option. Weight, dimensions and other interesting features are recorded and published in our table.

We’ve partnered with Shop Ethical on this update to show the ratings the Ethical Consumer Group gives to each company.

Shopping links on the CHOICE website

CHOICE is an independent, nonprofit organisation dedicated to helping consumers. Clicking a link will take you to a retailer’s website to shop. While we make money if you buy through some retailer links, this doesn’t influence any of our rankings. 100% of the money we make goes straight back into our nonprofit mission. We’re currently testing this service and will consider providing more shopping links in the future. Tell us what you think.
