Home Bar Smart 110 NG
Rating: 4.9
The most advanced siphon for carbonating water. And it is also one of the most compact. You can easily place it on your dining table or even near your computer. And there is no abstruse electronics here that could suddenly fail. Therefore, one can hope for a very long service life.
This model is intended for use with SODASTREAM cylinders. A convenient screw-in connector is used to install such a cylinder. It is curious that Home Bar Smart 110 NG does not even need to be connected to the mains – it is enough to screw in the bottle, screw on the bottle, press the button and wait for the result.
You will receive a 1 liter bottle with this model. It is impossible to find fault with the quality of its manufacture – the manufacturer even abandoned bisphenol A, so that the bottle will be as harmless to humans as possible. The device is also compatible with a 1.5 liter bottle, but it is not included in the kit. But on the other hand, one 425-gram bottle is supplied with the siphon. It is enough to prepare 60 liters of a carbonated drink. We advise you to immediately buy another couple of cylinders. In the future, you will be able to exchange empty cylinders for filled ones, significantly saving.
Otherwise, this is a typical siphon for carbonating water, which does not have any additional functionality. It has an automatic pressure release, and in this case, accidental drops of water fall into the removable sump. In short, this is a very good, but very expensive purchase!
Advantages
- The warranty period has been extended to two years;
- Convenient connection of a gas cylinder;
- Supplied with BPA-free bottle;
- Does not require an electrical connection;
- There is a removable drip tray;
- Modest in size and weight.
disadvantages
- High price;
- Expensive cylinders are used.
iSi Classic SodaMaker 2120333
Rating: 4.8
Looking for a nice soda siphon? In this case, we recommend that you take a look at iSi Classic SodaMaker 2120333. If, of course, you find it on sale, it will be taken apart very quickly.
All structural elements of this model are made of stainless steel and plastic. Unlike the device discussed above, disposable 8 gram balloons are used here. This imposes certain difficulties on the use of a siphon. The fact is that finding such cylinders on sale is more difficult than the device itself. The similarity lies in the fact that this siphon also does not require an electrical connection.
Water is poured into a transparent bottle with a volume of 1 liter. Then from this bottle water is poured into a mug or glass – for this, a spout made of stainless steel is used. Unfortunately, the manufacturer does not say from what materials this bottle was created. But we hope that there are no materials harmful to the human body in its composition.
Perhaps the main drawback of the product is its price. Which Russian would dare to pay 7 thousand rubles for such a siphon? A unit of silver would be created – then there would be a different conversation.
Advantages
- Nice appearance;
- No need to connect to the mains;
- Easy to use.
disadvantages
- Kayser and iSi cylinders are rare on the market;
- High price;
- Poor quality of cylinders;
- A primitive adapter is used.
Sodastream Genesis
Rating: 4.7
This siphon has a familiar appearance. Most of all, it looks like some kind of coffee maker. Only the drink is poured here not into a cup, but into a rolling bottle. Another very interesting fact is the existence of four color options – perhaps the cutest of all looks Sodastream Genesis with a red body.
The complete set of the device includes the siphon itself, one liter bottle and one carbonation bottle. The latter is enough to fill with gas about 60 liters of water. Then you have to buy additional cylinders. Each will cost 2,900 rubles. Or 690 rubles if you provide the manufacturer with an exhausted cylinder.
The device itself, together with the balloon placed inside it, weighs no more than 2.2 kg. Its body is made of food grade plastic. The silvery elements on it make the design even more attractive. On the top of the device, you can find a single button. It allows you to make soda in three different concentration levels. Therefore, Sodastream Genesis will also appeal to those who do not like highly carbonated water. The readiness of the drink will be signaled by a sound indicator.
Perhaps this is one of the best siphons for carbonating water. But it is too expensive. Only cylinders are now sold on the manufacturer's website, and in third-party online stores they ask for 9,000 rubles for a siphon. However, can such a device be cheap?
It remains to add that this model takes up very little space on the table, and to use it, as you already understood, it does not require an electrical connection.
Advantages
- The body was created from harmless plastic;
- Supplied with bottle and balloon;
- Three degrees of carbonation of water are available;
- Convenient and easy to use;
- There are four color options;
- Does not require an electrical connection.
disadvantages
- High price.
O! Range CookWare AM-210ACBK
Rating: 4.6
Another pretty siphon for carbonating water. Its creators abandoned the use of stainless steel, using high-quality plastic. Not everyone will like it, but on the other hand, it is precisely this that made it possible to greatly reduce the price tag – several times! On a liter bottle of this device there is an interesting drawing made in golden colors. This makes the siphon recognizable.
Like other similar devices, the O! Range CookWare AM-210ACBK allows you to carbonate any water, as long as it is clean. You can add syrup, berries and other natural products to it, getting a drink with a great taste.
With such a siphon, you will become a little less likely to buy water in a plastic container, thereby reducing your negative impact on nature. It remains to be regretted that using this device is not the cheapest pleasure. Cylinders for him cost 549 rubles for a box of ten. One can is enough, as you might guess, to carbonate that very liter bottle. The siphon itself will cost about 2,500 rubles. Alas, this price does not include cans – they must be purchased separately immediately.
Perhaps the main advantage of this model is its ease of use. You don't need to do anything except press one button. The device does not even need to be connected to the mains. Well, the use of disposable cans allowed the manufacturer to significantly reduce the size of his creation.
Advantages
- Not very high cost;
- Modest size and weight;
- Complete with a stylish bottle;
- Easy to learn;
- Does not require an electrical connection.
disadvantages
- Consumables turned out to be very expensive;
- Only one degree of carbonation strength.
Kayser 1 liter
Rating: 4.5
This siphon is almost entirely made of aluminum alloy. Therefore, you definitely will not feel harm to your health. At the same time, the device turned out to be very light – it seems that the scales under it will show a lower value than under the plastic counterpart. And still it is impossible not to note the black color. Almost all details have it here. You can safely put the siphon on the shelf – it will definitely not spoil the interior of the room.
This model is supplied with a wrench for removing the measuring tube and a cartridge capsule. As in the case of the siphon discussed above, disposable cartridges are used here. Most of all they look like bullet casings. And by weight, they are, of course, much lighter – a box with ten cans weighs about 100 g. By the way, such a package will cost you 590 rubles. A decent amount, especially when you consider that the can is enough to make only one liter of the drink. And the siphon itself is even more expensive – Russian sellers usually ask 7,000 rubles for it.
Like the rest of the devices in our rating, Kayser does not require an electrical connection. The carbonation process here is as simple as possible. However, this applies to absolutely all siphons, which are discussed in this review. But on the other hand, not all of them are capable of boasting an assembly in the Czech Republic. The creation of Kayser is carried out in this European country. Perhaps this is the reason for the high cost? Also, the price tag was certainly influenced by the long service life. By purchasing this model, you will know that you can use it even after five to six years. If only by this time the production of spray cans has not ended. However, no one bothers to buy them for future use – their shelf life is not limited.
Advantages
- Created mostly from aluminum alloy;
- Interesting design;
- Long service life;
- Easy to learn to use;
- Does not require electricity.
disadvantages
- Very high cost;
- The consumables are expensive;
- Only one degree of carbonation strength.
Oursson OS1000SK
Rating: 4.4
This is one of the most affordable siphons for carbonating water on the Russian market. At the same time, he is able to boast of far from the poorest complete set.
This model is available in several colors. However, in this case, only the nozzle and the bottom of the bottle differ in color. The bottle itself, which has a liter volume, is made of transparent plastic. Which one exactly is not specified. Let's hope that from food – harmless to the human body.
You will receive five disposable gas cartridges with this device. In the future, their sets will have to be bought for separate money. For five similar cans, the manufacturer asks for 279 rubles. If you do the math, your soda is going to be quite expensive. But then you can cook it yourself. Nobody bothers to dilute it with compote or juice, getting a drink that you have not tried before.
As in the case of the models discussed above, the carbonation process with Oursson OS1000SK is as simple as possible. You need to pour the filtered water into the bottle, stopping at the appropriate mark. Next, a charging rod is screwed onto the bottle. A gas canister is inserted inside the siphon head. All! All that remains is to turn the whole structure and shake the bottle. The drink is ready! Now you can add syrup or something else to the water. By the way, the kit contains instructions supplemented with several recipes for making very unusual drinks.
Perhaps, Oursson OS1000SK is a good thing for those who want to lead a healthy lifestyle. If you are already tired of freshly squeezed juices, why not add sparkling water to them? But we must admit that the cost of ownership of this siphon cannot be called anything low.
Advantages
- Easy to learn to use;
- There are several color options;
- Low cost;
- The set includes five disposable cylinders at once.
disadvantages
- The construction is made of plastic;
- Only one degree of carbonation strength;
- Very expensive consumables.
