Whipping cream NO2 chargers such as iSi Gourmet

[lindaj1]

What brand of pint whipping cream NO2 charge gadgets work well and what brand of cartridges?  I would hate to pay a hundred bucks and have it work for a month and leak and make a mess.

Just make sure you, uh, buy a good one. I've been tempted to pick one up too so curious to see what others think.

Just buy the ISI and don't fret about it. Although one of my nozzles doesn't seal properly and has to be replaced. As to cartridges I buy the least expensive I can find and it doesn't seem to matter.

 

I don't use mine a lot but I am trying to train myself to point it away from me when charging.

I have three iSi  --  two one liter and one half liter -- using the 1/2 liter tonight.

 

Though I'd research cartridges a bit.  I buy from Creamright, myself:

Even so, depending what I'm doing, I wear safety goggles.

Thank you for the replies!  Very much appreciated.  Does everyone buy the $100 Isi Gourmet?  Is there some other brand (model number please) that is as good?  I am pre-purchase so I need exact description as well as where to buy.

If you just want to whip cream the least expensive iSi should do.  But the all stainless steel and silicone ones offer so much more.  Plus, they go in the dishwasher.
