Most Versatile: Drinkmate OmniFizz Sparkling Water and Soda Maker

"This impressive device performed well across all tests — from ease of use to carbonation performance — while also displaying exceptional versatility. The Drinkmate is one of the few soda makers that can be used to carbonate any liquid. Not only can you turn tap water to sparkling, but you can also add bubbles to juice, tea, or cocktails without having to worry about damaging the machine. The convenience of that feature alone ranked it high on our list, but it also earns high marks for a small counter footprint and a two-stage pressure-release valve that cuts down on excessive foam and spillage.

The Drinkmate doesn't require electricity or batteries and has a sleek design that comes in a variety of colors. It is also able to use CO2 cartridges from any brand, so you don't have to stress about locating proprietary products (though the manufacturer has a trade-in program that allows you to purchase discounted CO2 cylinders when you send back your empties).

We found that it provided a decent level of carbonation no matter the beverage, and the bottles open on both ends, making them easy to clean and dry. They're also very easy to attach to the unit, so they're simple to slide in and out with minimal hassle."
