Our recommendation
Buy the Drinkmate OmniFizz Starter Kit if you want the cheapest way to carbonate any drink, since it includes the cylinder and two bottles in the box. Buy the Breville InFizz Fusion if you make finished cocktails and want them to stay fizzy in the fridge, since its FusionCap seals the fizz in. Both carbonate juice, wine, and cocktails, so the choice is cost and simplicity against the FusionCap and the premium body.
Fizz Infuser against FusionCap
The OmniFizz uses a Fizz Infuser cap that seals the bottle and lets gas in, with a two-stage pressure release that bleeds foam off slowly. The Breville uses a FusionCap that carbonates the drink in its own bottle and then seals the fizz in for storage, so a cocktail stays fizzy in the fridge. The Infuser is simpler and cheaper; the FusionCap is better for a drink that is made ahead and served later.
What is in the box
The OmniFizz starter kit includes a 60-litre threaded cylinder and two bottles, so it works straight out of the box. The Breville includes no cylinder, so a standard screw-type 60-litre cylinder must be bought separately before the first use, which adds cost and a trip. The Breville bottle has a stainless cap and base, and the box includes a cleaning brush, a funnel, a drip tray, and a sieve, which the OmniFizz does not.
Body and cost to run
The Breville body is brushed stainless steel and feels like a premium appliance, while the OmniFizz body is matte black plastic that shows fingerprints. Both use a standard threaded 60-litre cylinder, so the running cost is the same once the Breville cylinder is bought. The Breville costs more to get running, and its spare bottles and caps are proprietary, so they cost more than standard bottles.

Strengths and limitations
Drinkmate OmniFizz Sparkling Water and Soda Maker Starter Kit, Matte Black
Strengths
- The Fizz Infuser lets any chilled drink go in the bottle, so juice, iced tea, wine, and cocktails can all be carbonated.
- The two-stage pressure release bleeds off foam slowly, which keeps fizzy juice from foaming over.
- It uses a standard threaded 60L cylinder, which is widely available and easy to exchange.
Limitations
- The bottle cap has more parts than a SodaStream bottle, so it needs careful cleaning and a good seal each time.
- The threaded cylinder screws in rather than snapping in, so swapping takes longer than a QuickConnect cylinder.
- It is bulkier than the Terra, and the matte black body shows fingerprints.
Breville InFizz Fusion Sparkling Water and Beverage Carbonator, BCA800BSS
Strengths
- The FusionCap carbonates juice, tea, cocktails, wine, and flat soda directly in the bottle, which no SodaStream or Aarke machine can do.
- The brushed stainless steel body looks and feels like a premium appliance, and the 1-litre bottle has a stainless cap and base.
- The cap keeps the fizz in the bottle after carbonating, so a drink stays fizzy in the fridge.
Limitations
- No CO2 cylinder is included, so the machine cannot be used until a standard screw-type 60L cylinder is bought separately.
- The FusionCap and bottle are proprietary, so spare bottles and caps cost more than standard SodaStream bottles.
- It is the most expensive machine in this list to get running, once the cylinder is added.

Questions, answered
Which carbonates wine better?
Both carbonate wine, but the Breville FusionCap keeps the fizz in the bottle for storage, which suits a wine spritzer made ahead. The OmniFizz is better for a glass of wine carbonated and drunk at once, since its infuser is quicker to use and clean.
Do I need to buy a cylinder for the Breville?
Yes. The Breville InFizz Fusion includes no CO2 cylinder, so a standard screw-type 60-litre cylinder must be bought separately before the first use. The OmniFizz starter kit includes its cylinder, so it works straight out of the box.
Which is easier to clean?
The OmniFizz, since its cap has fewer parts than the Breville FusionCap and bottle assembly. The Breville includes a cleaning brush for the bottle, which helps, but the FusionCap itself needs careful cleaning after a sticky drink.
