Review on ISi Sodamaker Classic Siphon Bottle by Robert Correa

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Missing instructions make it difficult to use

My apologies to the manufacturer. In fact I have four of these ISI bottles at home and of course four chargers. A few months ago I mistook the charger for a previous stainless steel bottle. Initially there were no problems, but then charging became more difficult, which I could not understand. Finally I had this episode where the cartridge got stuck in the charger. Today I used an all black charger and charged a smoothie. Please ignore the rest of this post. I have my fingers crossed that this bottle continues to perform as well as it does today and in the future. At the moment, due to the lack of a quality manual (no English manual at all?), I'll just give a point to emphasize which charger to use. and be careful not to confuse them. I bought this on July 18th of this year. I have three other models from 2000 or so. Unfortunately I gave the first almost identical glass (I think) to my music teacher. I gave my neighbor across the street a new one. They are usually trouble-free for almost 4-5 years at a time, which is not a bad thing. I HAVE NEVER USED NON-ISI CARTRIDGES OR TRIED ANYTHING BUT CLUB SODA. I was very disappointed today when the ISI cartridge got stuck after charging the tank. It just won't work. I will ask my master to try next week but I have no hope. I will have to get a new bottle as I doubt ISI will honor their Chinese bottle and charger warranty.

Pros
  • New
Cons
