The available aggregate rating is based on only two ratings and is sharply divided between five-star and one-star categories. That small, split sample does not explain the reasons for the ratings or establish how the maker performs. Buyers should weigh it cautiously alongside the listed manual operation, adjustable fizz and separately purchased CO₂ cylinder.
