What the testers found

America's Test Kitchen's Best for Most People soda maker, with the same full marks as the Breville. "Simply press the large button on the top of the machine until you’ve obtained your desired level of carbonation." "The plastic water bottles connect to the machine easily and are dishwasher-safe." It uses SodaStream's Quick Connect CO2 cylinders and carbonates water only. "Like other models from SodaStream, it takes up fairly little counter space and is sturdy."
