Sparkle

Community noted

A plastic home carbonation device that pairs with sodium bicarbonate and citric acid instead of CO2 cylinders to carbonate water.

Why it's buy-it-for-life

An owner reports 5 years of reliable use with no CO2 cylinders to exchange or pay for, calling it well worth the investment despite doubting 20-year longevity.

    Huge fan of the Sparkle... It is plastic and while I can't imagine it working in 20 years I'm about 5 years in and it's going strong. Well worth the investment.
