After months of debating if we should fork out the $$$$ for a zip tap we did it! I have absolutely no regrets, it works perfectly for our house of 6 that entertain frequently. We have used 2 Co2 canisters in 12months and we are everyday drinkers of sparkling water. Surprisingly the hot water function has been the most loved and useful! Immediate boiling water for pasta, 2min noodles, and cups of tea is a game changer in our house. The timer setting is great too for energy consumption although we haven’t noticed a difference in our power bills which is also a plus. Love it!
