The SodaStream Terra is a neat way to make sparkling water at home, but if you're wondering about popping those bottles in the dishwasher, here's the scoop. The manufacturer says the BPA-free plastic bottles are dishwasher safe.
But according to our research, it seems like folks have had mixed experiences after washing them multiple times in the dishwasher. Some people noticed the bottles getting a bit warped with repeated washes, so maybe it's good to be gentle with them.
The Terra is meant to work specifically with its own branded bottles. While this ensures everything works safely and as it should, some folks wish there were more bottle options available. Our research shows some just aren't thrilled about having to stick with the SodaStream bottles.
If you're set on using your SodaStream Terra, it's best to stick with the designated bottles to keep things safe and working well. Mixing in unapproved bottles could lead to problems since they might not handle the carbonation pressure or fit the snap-lock mechanism correctly.
If you're after more flexibility or want to try other materials, like glass, you might want to check out other soda maker brands. Some offer more bottle choices or come with adapters for various CO2 cartridges, giving you more options.
So, in a nutshell, while the Terra's bottles are technically dishwasher safe, just keep an eye on them if you're washing them frequently. Your decision might boil down to whether you value brand compatibility or prefer more bottle types for customization.
If you want hassle-free use and are keen on the environmental perks, sticking with the recommended bottles is probably your best bet.
