aarke - Carbonator III Premium Carbonator-Sparkling & Seltzer Water Maker-Soda Maker with PET Bottle (Stainless Steel)

The Aarke Carbonator III is a beautifully designed sparkling water machine that delivers both style and performance. The matte black stainless steel finish looks premium on the countertop and feels extremely solid and well-built. Carbonation is quick and easy, and the results are consistently crisp and refreshing. The included 1L BPA-free PET reusable bottle is convenient for daily use, and the CO₂ cylinder installs smoothly. I appreciate the simple, manual operation—no electricity needed—and how easy it is to control the level of carbonation. Overall, this machine offers excellent quality, ease of use, and value for anyone who enjoys sparkling water. It’s a high-end upgrade that makes everyday hydration more enjoyable and cuts down on store-bought bottles.

I love the sleek look of the Aarke. This is a replacement, our previous Aarke lasted 5 years with a daily use. Very sturdy and easy to use.

I absolutely love it. It's sleek and sexy. It feels well built. The CO2 canister fits snug--don't forget to remove the drip grate before changing it. I stalled buying one for a while because it was so expensive. I do not regret it. It's easy to operate for it being my first soda maker. Side note, I only make sparkling water--we call it spicy water because we like very high carbonation. I had a small learning curve installing the bottle, but after a couple of times it's now moderately easy.

So far so good. A bit expensive but works great and looks great!

The AARKE has a two year warranty. I'm starting to wonder if their customer service team will respond to us before it runs out. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. The unit looks nice, sure, but you are better off with another brand. Worst customer service experience in my life dealing with AARKE. DO NOT BUY. The machine worked well as any other device for about three months until it abruptly broke. Did some troubleshooting using AARKE's recommended fixes to no avail. AARKE advertises their warranty as a selling point and their website states that "we are committed to ensure our products are at their best." Let me tell you this is not the case. Processed a customer support ticket on their website and they just...ghosted us. Seriously, for two whole months they did not respond at all. We sent in multiple tickets. FINALLY, my wife gets an email from them stating that they switched the company that they use to process and respond to their customer support claims. OK, I guess that explains the radio silence, but some communication in the interim would have been nice. I'd love to tell you that once we got in contact with this new company, they were able to process an exchange for a working unit. Unfortunately, that did not happen. They asked us to send in a bunch of information about our unit so they can process the claim and make sure it was legit. We had to send in all of the typical information (model number, etc.) and also a bunch of pictures that they made us take of the unit from all angles. That was about a month and a half ago - no follow-up from the company since that time. We've attempted to contact them several times since then, they have simply stopped responding. I really would recommend not buying anything from AARKE; if you run into an issue with your unit, you are just out of luck.

This unit is absolutely fantastic! I previously owned a similar device from a different manufacturer and used it for about a year. While I was satisfied with its performance, this new unit has completely blown me away. The carbonation quality is on another level—it far surpasses anything I could achieve with my previous unit. One unexpected delight is the sound it makes when reaching pressure—it reminds me of a child’s impression of a fart, and honestly, it makes me smile every time. I had been eyeing this unit for quite a while, and I'm so glad I finally made the switch. The all-metal construction is a huge upgrade compared to the plastic of my old unit. The solid feel of the metal not only adds to its durability but also, I believe, enhances its overall performance. ### Rating Breakdown: - **Taste:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The enhanced carbonation levels significantly improve the experience. - **Ease of Cleaning:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The metal body makes it easy to wipe down before storage. - **Carbonation Capacity:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – This unit delivers higher carbonation levels while using less gas. - **Quality:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – The metal construction feels sturdy and built to last. - **Size:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Like my previous unit, this one is quite tall and requires ample storage space. If there were one design improvement I’d suggest, it would be to allow the lever arm to fold down, reducing the required top clearance for storage. - **Weight:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – While heavier than plastic models, it’s by no means excessively heavy. Overall, this unit is a game-changer. If you're serious about carbonation, this is the one to get!

Robust equipment when compared to others made of plastic this thing is steel solid

Sehr schöner Wassersprudler. Ist nicht gerade günstig, jedoch in diesem Fall habe ich sehr viel wert auf das aussergewöhnliche Design gelegt und nicht nur auf die Funktion. Der Sprudler funktioniert einwandfrei und ist ein richtiger Eyecatcher☺️

We have it 6 months and it doesn't work anymore... For this high price product, this is a shame please contact me to fix this.

Esta máquina vale cada céntimo. Me devolvió el gusto por el agua con gas incluso cuando los médicos me prohibieron el sodio, y desde entonces la uso a diario. Diario. El resultado es agua bien carbonatada, limpia y constante. Además, se ha vuelto básica para preparar mimosas, limonadas y sangrías en casa. Detalle importante (y clave para que funcione bien): primero se carbonata solo el agua y después se añaden los ingredientes. Nunca al revés. Y, además, se ve impecable. Esa « prohibición de sodio » terminó dándole a mi cocina un look sueco, limpio y elegante. El acabado en acero inoxidable negro es sólido, bien construido y pensado para estar a la vista. Si quieres agua con gas sin sodio, control total y diseño, esta máquina es un acierto absoluto.
