Which one should you buy?

For most Australian households the SodaStream Terra at around $83 is the right buy. It is the cheapest, most recognised way to make sparkling water at home — a Quick Connect CO2 cylinder clicks straight in with no twisting, the snap-lock bottle is dishwasher-safe, and there are no batteries to charge. If you just want fizzy water and the freedom to stir in your own cordial or syrup afterwards, this is genuinely all you need, and one machine plus a reusable bottle replaces well over a thousand single-use plastic bottles.

If you want to carbonate more than water, the Breville InFizz Fusion (BCA800) at around $249 is the step-up pick. Its FusionCap is purpose-built to fizz juice, tea, cocktails, wine and re-carbonate flat soft drink without foaming over — something a standard machine cannot do. The Aarke Carbonator 3 at around $297 is the design-premium choice: a slim, all-stainless-steel machine that looks like an object on the bench. It carbonates water only, so you pay for the materials and Swedish design rather than extra function.
