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

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.

Looks and works great. After decades in Europe, I only drink sparkling water but can't find it in US stores without flavorings, or costing an arm and leg. This will pay itself off in under a month! Solid metal materials that will last years.

So far, I am really liking this carbonation machine. I got the smaller Aarke stainless steel bottle to use instead of the plastic one. I like putting a lot of carbonation into my water, and the machine does it, though I had to learn about waiting to hear the buzzing sound when I use it. Then give a couple quick pumps - again until it buzzes - without letting any pressure escape. I use distilled water and I find that if I put a little bit of minerals or electrolytes or sodium bicarbonate in it - not so much that I can taste it - it gets even more "poppier"- just like club soda, which was what I bought the carbonator for - so I don't have to buy it anymore (and also so I don't accumulate all the plastic caps and (albeit) glass bottles). This is does the trick! The smaller stainless steel bottle is plenty for a sitting. And then I refill it with the cold water I keep chilling in the fridge for the next time I want more of my homemade club soda. The machine fits nicely under my cabinet and has a nice, sleek design. I got matte black - it doesn't show dirt or fingerprints at all.

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.

I'd wanted to get a carbonator for a while and watched a number of YouTube videos which ultimately led me to purchase the aarke. I'm so glad I took the time to investigate it since Soda Stream is far better known. This is an outstanding product. Love the fact that it requires no electricity. Also, quality, durable stainless steel rather than cheapo plastic that's used in most carbonators. It actually looks nice, almost sculptural, on my countertop, without taking up a huge footprint. I also love the fact that I get to control how much carbonation I put into the water. Very happy with it.

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.

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.

Update: New device arrived. Hope this time it works. Will keep you posted Very disappointing experience. The soda machine worked for only two days before the gas started escaping from the side whenever the bottle was screwed in, making it impossible to carbonate anything. We went through two gas cylinders that were completely wasted because of this defect. The first machine was already broken, and the new one still hasn’t arrived. Based on this experience, it is much better to send the faulty unit back and order a completely new one instead of asking for a replacement, as the replacement process takes much longer. The concept of the product is good, but reliability and the speed of handling defective units need serious improvement. At this price point, the machine should work properly and issues should be resolved faster.

Machine qui fonctionn très bien, de qualité et élégante. Facile d’utilisation et compacte.
