FIZZIT Review: Is a Stainless Steel Soda Maker Worth a Spot on Your Counter?
We looked at FIZZIT's Spärklï soda maker, its dishwasher-safe stainless steel bottles, flavor drops and CO2 exchange program to see what home carbonation really involves.

A soda maker promises to replace the cans and plastic bottles stacking up in the recycling bin, but the real question is how much work the daily routine involves. FIZZIT's Spärklï soda maker is built around stainless steel, so we looked at the machine, the bottles and the supplies to see what ownership looks like.
The machine and the bottle
The Spärklï soda maker starts at about $65 and comes with a reusable stainless steel bottle. The brand pitches the bottle as something you can carry through the day rather than leave in a cupboard, and describes it as dishwasher-safe, which removes one of the usual frustrations of cleaning a narrow-necked bottle.
Flavor drops and bubbles
Plain sparkling water is the baseline, and FIZZIT sells flavor drops, including citrus and cherry, to change it up with a few drops per glass. There are also drink mixes for people who want something closer to a soda than a seltzer.
CO2: the ongoing part
Every home carbonation setup runs on CO2, and this is where ownership costs add up. FIZZIT sells cylinders in a few pack sizes starting around $38 and runs an exchange program for empty ones, so check how the program works before you buy to understand your refill options.
- Best for: households that drink a lot of sparkling water and want a reusable, easy-to-clean bottle
- Plan ahead: budget for CO2 cylinders and decide how you will refill or exchange them
- Compatibility: confirm that a FIZZIT bottle fits your machine if you already own another soda maker
“The machine is a one-time purchase; the CO2 is the habit you actually have to manage.”
Our verdict
FIZZIT offers a tidy, design-forward approach to home sparkling water, with a stainless steel bottle and a clear path for CO2 refills. We have not used the machine ourselves, so carbonation strength and long-term durability are not assessed here; for regular sparkling water drinkers, it is worth comparing against your current routine.
What we liked
- + Reusable stainless steel bottle is included and described as dishwasher-safe
- + Everything for the routine is sold in one place: machine, bottles, flavor drops and CO2 cylinders
- + A cylinder exchange program is designed to make refills less of a hassle
Where it falls short
- − You still need to buy and refill CO2 cylinders, an ongoing cost and chore
- − Check bottle and machine compatibility before mixing parts, as the shop itself advises
