The Sodastream is the industry leader but there are some major rivals competing for top spot in the soda maker market
Sodastream has dominated the at home soda making market for decades. A 1990s staple, the brand has enjoyed a resurgence in recent years as environmental concerns of using fizzy drink bottles, as well as cost concerns over rising supermarket prices, have brought it back into stores.
However with Ninja recently announcing a new top-of-the-range soda maker that will be arriving in the UK some time in 2023, plus a host of other brands is Sodastream still at the top of the market?
As a fizzy drink addict I have used a Sodastream for a number of years and found it to be easy to use, cheap to run and it helps to save space in my weekly recycling bin. The Drinkmate Omnifizz, sold by Lakeland, is a direct competitor to the Sodastream and after a short trial I think it might even be the better option.
The Drinkmate Omnifizz is not particularly impressive out of the box. The device is quite light and feels quite flimsy. The benefits to that is that it’s quite small on your kitchen counter and the lightweight means it can even be portable if needed.
