There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It's still working quite well after going through a few boxes of chargers, as long as I mind the important variables. Everyone ought to know by now to make sure everything's cold. What wasn't so clear to me was the timing, which I found can make or break the process. So, after charging, I vigorously shake it in the most "splashy" sounding way i can (horizontal, top aimed away, rapidly moving it almost along its length) for a full timed minute, then set it down to rest for more like 5min+ before I unscrew the charger cap. If I do that too soon, the over-pressure valve will release gas. Including that first rest, it's better to wait more like 10min+ before actually serving it to make the most fizz.
I also use only 750ml of water (that's the size of a bottle i keep pre-chilled), which gives me a satisfying amount of fizz with only one charger. And I leave out the straw, since dispensing it as designed seems to flatten it out a good bit. Instead, without the straw in there, squeezing the lever will just release the pressure, then I uncap the bottle to pour it into my glass. This gives me about as much fizz as I get from pouring a can into a glass.
I was also sad to find that adding flavor before carbonating seemed to substantially hamper the results for both, and have embraced a flavor-by-the-glass philosophy instead.
Overall, observing all the finicky protocol, it does work well, for a relatively lower startup cost than other options. It's also a lot more potentially mobile (though it's kinda bigger than it looked lol) than most carbonation systems. I do like it and plan to continue using it, but to be honest, it's not gonna give me as much seltzer per dollar as a system with a tank, and I'm not sure if one can be adapted to this. The cost of the chargers isn't ideal, nor is the growing collection of heavy little steel cylinders. They're more compact than bottles, but they still add up similarly. I wonder about how they're recycled, and the energy use embodied in them... I do still aim to avoid that somehow, eventually.
In the end, if I had the luxury of eating the much higher startup cost, I'd rather have a little home kegging setup, which is probably the most economical and ecological option in the long-term. But this is a nice little accessible unit of unexpectedly good quality, which just might hold up to holding me over in the meantime.
I had planned to get a soda stream but the large gas cartridge seemed expensive and more difficult to purchase and replace than the standard (and handier) 8oz cartridges. Also this unit is smaller and handier. So, after considering the soda stream, I remembered my uncle used an item like this one when I was a kid.
Summary: Very satisfied and brings back nice memories. ✌️😊
The only downfall is this makes only holds 32oz(4 cups) of water and it is easy to go through it quickly. Wish it held more, but it's good for the price.
I was right.
There aren't many features to discuss. I chose the sold chrome/silver version. Unlike in the picture, the whole appliance is silver. It's sturdy as well as attractive. If I had a wet bar, this would stay on top for decoration. The only possible drawback is that you'll have to discover the right amount of flavoring through mixed drink recipes or trial and error. I put just a little too much cola syrup in the first time for instance. You will also have to purchase 8 gram chargers which come in several brands. There's a cover the charger fits into that you tighten to release the CO2 then a smaller cover for after the charger is removed. But, that's it: The soda siphon along with ever how many boxes of CO2 chargers (sold separately).
I took the advice I read in product reviews and the instructions to get the water (liter/quart) very cold beforehand. It worked perfectly the very first time.
June 2019
Something inside the trigger mechanism broke. I bought a slightly different product instead of the ICO because I don't want to wait for a replacement right now. I'm so disappointed.
Top reviews from other countries
That RED one had a smooth shiny exterior and though I loved the colour, I wasn't impressed with its quality. This ICO one is similar only the housing is a hammered finish which I like because it gives a grip to hold onto. The concave divot on the bottom of this one seems higher than on the RED one. Which means this is is built to hold pressure. From a flat plane, the concave is about the ends of my index finger (12mm).
I recall reading a review here about a husband and wife team. The wife complained that too much gas was being leaked from the cartridge chamber as she screwed it in. Her husband solved that by placing a small rubber gasket around the needle. But as you can see from my Macro shot - it already has a silicone ring. And the excess gas it leaks while we screw it in. That is normal. Plug up that tiny hole in the chamber or adding a 3rd party gasket could potentially have it all explode unexpectantly.
Unless she was missing that silicone gasket in the first place,... supplementing it with a 3rd party ring isn't a good idea. I am guessing she's screwing in the cartridge chamber too slow and in her slow pace it gives plenty of time for the gas to escape. Once contact is made, screw in the rest all the way down as quickly as possible. And don't forget to shake. Rocking it back and forth is not the same as shaking it.
I've used this ICO siphon a dozen times now and though it works like the RED one with the gas hissing out when we screw it in. It has yet to leak/stream liquid from any of its ports. I tried to tighten, then disassemble and clean the parts of the RED one, but it still leaked. So I'm guessing faulty manufacturing. So hopefully this ICO one with its 2-yr warranty will last the full 2-years.
And for those of you in the GTA/Canada and want a vast source for the 8g cartridges instead of buying an expensive box of 10 at a time. I don't think I can link the source here, but I can tell you look for, "Kidder" in Richmond Hill, ON. They are an educational sciense store where I bought 100 x 8g cartridges shipped to me via Canada Post in 5 days for only $80 + the cost of shipping because I don't have a car and didn't want to spend hours on the GO Bus into Richmond Hill.

Buon rapporto qualità prezzo ma ovviamente niente di professionale, ideale x uso casalingo e mandare alle stelle le vostre transaminasi
The aluminium bottle conducts heat very well, which is good for quick cooling in the fridge. However it can get uncomfortable to hold in the hand when chilled.
It is important to:
1. properly install the components,
2. not overfill the siphon (max. 1 liter) and
3. properly tighten the head,
otherwise you'll make a mess.
For maximum carbonation, chill water before charging. After charging, wait about 10 min for the gas to dissolve.
The water tastes medium-carbonised until about the last glass (ca. 1/5) when it gets a bit flat. The water is free from undesired scent or taste.
When properly tightened, the siphon will hold its pressure until water is depleted. I have let it sit for 2, 3 days and it still has pressure to send all the water out.
The only minor inconvenience that come with the design is that, after dispensing the water, a small amount inevitably remains in the mouthpiece. To avoid dripping, you have to shake the remaining water out.
I find this siphon provideing much more value for money than the ISI equivalent.
The siphon is easy to use and saves using plastic water bottles - another point in its favour. The siphon looks good and am happy with a the sparkling water it produces. The little cylinders are easy to buy on line. I am delighted with my siphon and it is in use every day
