Now let's break each one down.

SodaStream Terra

Price: ~$219.90 SGD | Manual | No power needed

The Terra is SodaStream's entry-level model and the one most people end up buying. It uses the Quick Connect system for CO2 cylinders, which means you just snap the cylinder in rather than screwing it. It's a small detail, but it makes swapping cylinders noticeably less awkward.

You fill the included 1L bottle with cold water, lock it into the machine, press the button on top a few times until you hear a buzz, and you've got sparkling water. The whole process takes about 10 seconds.

The Terra comes with one 60L CO2 cylinder and a 1L BPA-free bottle. Refill cylinders cost $29.50 each through SodaStream's exchange programme and are available at over 30 locations across Singapore, including Courts and Harvey Norman. Each cylinder makes roughly 60 litres of sparkling water at medium carbonation.

Pros: Cheapest option, no power needed, widely available, CO2 refills are easy to find across Singapore.

Cons: No water filtration (you're carbonating whatever water you put in), bottles need replacing every 2-3 years, manual pressing means inconsistent fizz levels if you're not paying attention.

If you just want to try making sparkling water at home, this is the obvious starting point.

SodaStream Art

Price: ~$289.90 SGD | Manual | No power needed

The Art does the same job as the Terra but looks better doing it. Instead of a push button, you pull a lever on the top to carbonate. It's a satisfying mechanical action and it gives the machine a retro aesthetic that looks good on a kitchen counter.

Functionally, there's no performance difference between the Art and the Terra. Same Quick Connect CO2 system, same bottle size, same carbonation output. You're paying roughly $70 more for the design and the lever mechanism.

Pros: Good-looking machine, satisfying lever action, same reliable carbonation as the Terra.

Cons: $70 premium for aesthetics, still no water filtration, same CO2 cylinder limitations.

Best for: People who care about how their kitchen appliances look and don't mind paying a little extra for it. If your sparkling water maker is going to sit on the counter every day, the Art is the nicer object to live with.

SodaStream Spirit One Touch

Price: ~$298 SGD | Electric | Requires power outlet

The Spirit One Touch is SodaStream's electric model with a single-button operation. You press the button once, and the machine carbonates to a preset fizz level. No repeated pumping, no guesswork. It produces consistent results every time, which is surprisingly nice once you've experienced the variability of manual models.

It offers three fizz levels that you can select before pressing the button, so you get some control over how bubbly you want your water. The trade-off is that it needs a power outlet, which means one more cord in your kitchen and you can't place it just anywhere.

Pros: Consistent carbonation every time, three fizz levels, no manual effort.

Cons: Needs a power outlet, slightly bulkier than manual models, uses the older screw-in CO2 cylinder (not Quick Connect).

Best for: People who drink sparkling water daily and want the same result every time without thinking about it. If you find yourself pressing the Terra button different numbers of times and getting inconsistent fizz, this solves that problem.

SodaStream E-Terra

Price: ~$369.90 SGD | Electric | Requires power outlet

The E-Terra is SodaStream's newest and most feature-rich model. It combines the Quick Connect CO2 system from the Terra with the electric carbonation of the Spirit One Touch. You get three adjustable fizz levels at the press of a button, plus the easier cylinder swapping.

It's the most expensive SodaStream, but it's also the most refined. The carbonation is precise, the build quality feels a step up from the other models, and the Quick Connect system genuinely makes cylinder changes easier. Whether that's worth $150 more than the Terra depends on how much you value convenience and consistency.

Pros: Best SodaStream experience overall, Quick Connect CO2, electric with three fizz levels, consistent results.

Cons: Most expensive SodaStream option, still needs a power outlet, still no water filtration.

Best for: Serious sparkling water drinkers who want the best countertop experience. If you're going to use it multiple times a day, the E-Terra's convenience adds up.

Velta HydroSpark+

Price: $3,288 SGD | Under-sink | Electric | Professional installation included

The HydroSpark+ is a fundamentally different product from the countertop options above. It's a reverse osmosis water purifier and a sparkling water maker in one machine. It installs under your kitchen sink and connects to your water supply, giving you purified still and sparkling water from a single dispensing tap on your counter.

This means you don't need a separate water filter, you don't need a separate sparkling water maker on the counter, and you don't need to fill and refill bottles. You turn the tap and get clean, filtered sparkling water on demand.

The RO filtration removes chlorine, heavy metals, sediment, and other contaminants from Singapore's tap water before carbonating it. That's a step none of the countertop options can match. It still uses CO2 cylinders for carbonation, but everything else is handled by the built-in purification system.

Pros: Purified + sparkling from one tap, frees up counter space (great for HDB kitchens), no bottles to fill, professional installation included.

Cons: High upfront cost, requires plumbing connection, not portable, filter replacements add to ongoing costs.

Best for: Households that want both a water purifier and a sparkling water maker without managing two separate appliances. If you don't have a water purifier yet and you know you want sparkling water, the combined cost of a good RO system ($800-$2,500) plus a SodaStream ($220-$370) starts to close the gap with the HydroSpark+.

Aarke Carbonator III

Price: ~$380-$425 SGD | Manual | No power needed

Aarke is a Swedish brand that makes one thing: a beautifully designed sparkling water maker. The Carbonator III has an all-stainless-steel body with clean Scandinavian lines. It looks like something from a design museum, not a kitchen appliance aisle.

It uses SodaStream-compatible 60L CO2 cylinders, which is a major advantage in Singapore since you can use SodaStream's existing exchange network for refills. Mechanically, it works the same way as a manual SodaStream: fill the bottle, lock it in, push the lever down, and release to carbonate.

Aarke doesn't have an official retail presence in Singapore, so you'll be buying through Amazon.sg, Carousell, or import retailers like Ubuy. That means no local warranty support and slightly higher prices due to import costs. The Carbonator III typically runs $380 to $425 depending on the colour and seller.

Pros: Stunning design, all-metal build, uses SodaStream-compatible CO2 cylinders, compact footprint.

Cons: Premium price for the same basic function, limited Singapore availability, no local warranty, CO2 cylinder not included with some sellers.

Best for: Design-conscious buyers who want their sparkling water maker to look as good as it works.

How to Choose

Here's the short version:

• Tightest budget: SodaStream Terra. Under $220, works well, easy to find.
• Want it to look good: Aarke Carbonator III if you can stretch to $400+, or SodaStream Art at $290 if you'd rather stay in the SodaStream ecosystem.
• Already have a water purifier: SodaStream (any model) or Aarke. You just need carbonation, not filtration.
• Want purified + sparkling water: HydroSpark+. One machine, one tap, no clutter.
• Want consistent fizz without effort: SodaStream E-Terra or Spirit One Touch. Electric beats manual for daily use.
• Just trying it out: SodaStream Terra. If you end up not using it much, you're only out $220.

For most people in Singapore, the SodaStream Terra is the right pick. It's cheap, it works, and CO2 refills are available everywhere. Upgrade from there only if you have a specific need it doesn't cover.

Running Costs Compared

The upfront price is only part of the picture. Here's what each option costs per litre of sparkling water over time, including CO2 and filter replacements where applicable.

Product	CO2 Cost per Litre	Filter Cost per Litre	Total Cost per Litre
SodaStream Terra	~$0.49	N/A (no filtration)	~$0.49
SodaStream Art	~$0.49	N/A	~$0.49
SodaStream Spirit One Touch	~$0.49	N/A	~$0.49
SodaStream E-Terra	~$0.49	N/A	~$0.49
Aarke Carbonator III	~$0.49	N/A	~$0.49
Velta HydroSpark+	~$0.49	~$0.10-$0.15	~$0.59-$0.64

The CO2 cost is the same across all options because they all use standard 60L cylinders at roughly $29.50 per exchange. That works out to about $0.49 per litre.

The HydroSpark+ adds filter replacement costs on top, but it also removes the cost of a separate water purifier. If you're currently spending $30-$50 a month on bottled sparkling water, every option on this list will save you money within the first few months.

For context, a 750ml bottle of San Pellegrino costs around $3.50 to $4.50 at a Singapore supermarket. That's roughly $4.70 to $6.00 per litre. Every option on this list is a fraction of that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it worth buying a sparkling water maker in Singapore? If you drink sparkling water regularly, yes. A single SodaStream CO2 cylinder makes about 60 litres of sparkling water for $29.50. That's $0.49 per litre versus $4 or more per litre for bottled sparkling water from the supermarket. Most people break even within a few weeks of daily use.

Can I use Singapore tap water in a sparkling water maker? Yes. PUB tap water is safe to drink and safe to carbonate. The one caveat is taste. Singapore uses chloramine for disinfection, which can give water a slight chemical taste that carbonation won't mask. If that bothers you, run the water through a filter first, or consider an option like the HydroSpark+ that filters before carbonating.

Where can I buy SodaStream CO2 refills in Singapore? SodaStream has over 30 exchange locations across Singapore, including Courts, Harvey Norman, Tangs, and Isetan. You can also order refills online through their website with home delivery. You bring your empty cylinder, hand it over, and get a full one in exchange for $29.50.

Do Aarke and SodaStream use the same CO2 cylinders? The Aarke Carbonator III uses SodaStream-compatible 60L CO2 cylinders. So you can use SodaStream's exchange network for refills, which is a big advantage in Singapore where Aarke doesn't have its own refill programme.
