If you go through a lot of soda or sparkling water and want to make it right at home you should take a look at the Ambiano Sparking Water and Soda Maker. It will be available as an Aldi Find March 15th, 2023 for $44.99. This small appliance uses standard size screw in CO2 cartridges to make carbonated beverages like sparkling water. It looks like one bottle would be included, but that is not mentioned in the description so I don’t know if it is included or what size.
This would be similar to a SodaStream type appliance and looks like it may be one of the cheaper options on the market right now. You can find similar carbonators from multiple different brands but keep in mind that you will need CO2 cylinders for them to work and some models will include a cylinder/carbonator with purchase so the higher price may be worth it in that case.
Most SodaStream and other carbonators use a 60L screw in CO2 cylinder that can be exchanged when empty. Aldi does not tell us the size of CO2 Cylinder that the Ambiano Carbonator uses besides saying it is a standard size screw in cylinder. I would guess that it uses the 60L cylinder but be sure to check the package for details.
- ✅Renewable Source – Aarke CO2 gas is exclusively produced from renewable resources within the agricultural industry. This means that the CO2 comes from sources already in the eco-system – we’re…
Another thing to consider is these carbonators are often meant to only carbonate water, and then add flavoring in after (like a syrup for soda). So it may not work to carbonate juice or similar pre-flavored liquids.

Is It A Good Deal?
The Aldi Sparkling Water Maker looks like a pretty good deal at $44.99. It looks very similar to the Philips Sparkling Water Maker. Neither of these come with CO2 cylinders (which cost about $30), and neither use electricity.
A SodaStream is typically going to be a bit more expensive but they usually include a CO2 cylinder already. That is worth about $30 of the price so they are not that far above the other brands and have multiple models with different features.
Overall the Ambiano will probably be a bit cheaper that other options on the market but once you buy a CO2 cylinder the prices aren’t as far apart.

Sparkling Water or Soda Flavorings From Aldi
Aldi has a variety of drink mixes (lemonade, fruit punch, etc.) that could work as flavorings for your sparkling water but the liquid versions make work a little better than powders. Check out the options from Fit and Active or Pure Aqua on Aldi shelves for some ideas.
Another great option is fresh or frozen fruit, fresh fruit juice, or fruit purees for a relatively healthy alternative to soda.
If you are looking to recreate a favorite soda they sell many different syrups and mixes including brand names that are meant to recreate the soda taste at home.
Ambiano Sparkling Water and Soda Maker Reviews
Does not come with CO2 cylinders
Seemed like a great deal until I realized that it did not come with a CO2 dispenser, the most crucial element. I’ll be returning this.
Instructions Not Clear
I purchased the soda maker in black on Friday the 17th, 2 days after it became available. I ordered 3 canisters through the QR code provided both on the box and in the instruction manual. They are from Soda Sense, not to be confused with Soda Stream. The QR code automatically gives an Aldi discount on the new canisters and a future discount on refills through their refill program and free shipping. The canisters arrived on Wednesday, the 22nd. I immediately tried to make sparkling water in the included 1 Litre bottle following the directions as printed for the screw in canister. NOTHING!! Disassembled and re-assembled numerous times and NOTHING!! So I called the included “After Sales Support” number provided (866) 235-5029 and spoke with a supervisor named John. He was rude from the start, had me repeat the steps I had already done numerous times. Then his only response was “machine is not working and return it to Aldi for a refund.” I stated that Aldi was already sold out since it was an “Aldi Find” and that the warranty stated “3 years from date of purchase Free repair/exchange OR refund, No shipping or handling costs”. He constantly talked over me, refusing to listen to what I was saying. After I hung up, I decided one last thing before boxing it back up. The machine comes with 3 small brass adapters with separate instructions that state the adapters on necessary for Soda Stream cardridges only. I tried using one of the adapters and VOILA, the machine works BEAUTIFULLY!! Once again, the instructions are not accurate and even after sales support did not suggest to try adapters.
Works well, instructions not so clear.
The instructions were unclear how to use the system and I was pressing the decompression button on the rear to charge instead of the front button. I also purchased the sodastream 60L CO2 cartridge which requires the use of an adapter (additional brass plunger included (3) with the device) to mate with the sodastream CO2 bottle. Once I had the adapter in and pressing the buttons in the correct order it worked great. Device comes with an QR code for a deal which takes you to https://sodasense.com/products/the-60l-canister-aldi?discount=ALDI10 for $10 off 2 60l CO2 cartridges $50 for x2.
Does not work
Bought it yesterday and was extremely disappointed. The “head” moved when I tried to detach the bottle. It also did nothing-as in did not carbonate at all. I unscrewed and rescrewed the tank probably 10x. Water was between the 2 fill lines. Had to go buy the tank-they do offer a deal on a brand with only so-so reviews off a website. Do not recommend.
