;As long as you keep the parts of the machine cleaned properly, a soda maker should last several years. Most manufacturers recommend a cleaning schedule for you.That said, a machine that’s made of metal will probably last longer than one made of plastic. Metal options include aluminum and stainless steel. The KitchenAid Sparkling Beverage Maker on our list is made of premium die cast metal. It costs more than some other options, but if you’re really into making your own soda, this could be the right option for you.
