Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I've had aluminum selzer chargers before and would not buy another one -- they always corrode at the threaded seal, and probably inside as well. That's why I bought this stainless charger. Overall I am pleased with it, but from the beginning I've haven't been able to charge the bottle with two CO2 cylinders, one after the other, as directed in the instructions. If I fill the bottle with water and try to do this, the second charger does not fully enter the bottle -- there is apparently not enough room -- and so the overpressurized bottle releases the "excess" CO2 via some sort of safety pressure-release feature (I am well aware of the fill tube in the bottle, which ensures air space for the CO2 and prevents overfilling with water; even if I fill with water as directed and then pour out water, I still can't get two chargers into the bottle). I've found the way around this and now have a comfortable routine. I fill the bottle with water, charge it with ONE CO2 cylinder, and place the bottle in the refrigerator. Later, after the CO2 has dissolved into the water, and after I take one glass of selzer from the bottle, I charge the bottle with the second CO2 cylinder. This works fine for me, and the 2-liter capacity is really great to have. But it does bug me a little that the bottle can't take two chargers initially. I also have a vintage Czech glass seltzer bottle (with wire mesh casing) that I use along with this stainless bottle (both are always in service on the door of the refrigerator...) This glass bottle is very reliable, but the one-liter capacity is limiting. So, if you don't have patience for the above process to accomodate the quirks of the 2-liter stainless bottle, I suggest getting the 1-liter version of it. The quality and design are good, though I do agree with another reviewer that the lever handle seems a little flimsy. But after a year of use, mine is fine and I have confidence that it will last if not mistreated.
