iSi 1-Quart Soda Siphon SLL, Brushed Aluminum

I haven't been able to use this item because it seems the plastic inserts are giving the water a bad taste. I contacted their USA customer service a week ago and have not had a reply. At this point i will just send this item back. I am extremely disappointed in the company and the product.

Cold water (we keep it in the refrigerator) is the key. It stays carbonated for weeks.

We were extremely disappointed with this product. Doesn't give you any bubbles. Kind of like drinking REALLY flat seltzer. Sad we wasted our money, it's worth it to spend $1 for a bottle of sparkling water than to buy this. If you really want it, I'll sell you ours for $5 to try and recoup the money we spent on it!

As a kid back in the 70's, I made all my dad's soda with chargers at home, and drank it myself, so I'm very familiar with how to charge a soda bottle and what the end product should be like. It was very bubbly -- similar to bottled soda.

The soda from this siphon is very flat, plus with the isi chargers your supposed to use don't work well either. You can only fill the bottle 3/4 full of water or it will spray all over the place when you attempt to charge it, so you only get 3/4 of a liter per charge! Also, cusotmer service for this product did not respond after repeated attempts to contact.

Purchased a gorgeous Red version of this siphon & use it regularly three years later. It's easy to use & I love that it keeps the water carbonated for a long while in the refridgerator. For best results, use cold water & rotate the siphon end over end after dispensing the CO2 cartridge. So much fun. Order chargers in quantity if you like sparkling water. I only wish it held more water in the siphon! It's fabu and fun!
