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.

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
Replacement bottles impossible to fine
The soda maker itself works ok once you figure out the included adapters to make it work with a sodastream CO2 bottle. The problem I’m having is that I can’t find a replacement soda bottle. There’s a website listed on the side of the sodamaker, but the website doesn’t seem to exist. Likewise the phone number on the side of the machine doesn’t reach anything. The ambiano bottles are not interchangable with Sodastream bottles.
Great Product
Makes the best Xs Blast Soda.
Worth the money..
I would recommend it.
You would have to be a moron not to understand how to make this work. So simple.
Love my Ambiano soda maker
It took a bit of fiddling to figure out how to attach the SodaSense CO2 canister and how to screw the water bottle into the machine to begin the carbonation process. But the learning curve was short and I am highly satisfied with the resulting sparkling water. I love it and plan to order additional empty bottles because I can tell I’ll be using this machine a lot!
Sparkling water maker sucks is a piece of crap I would not buy it ever
Sparkling water maker sucks it doesn’t work I would never buy it again and I’m just appointed severely in this product
