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

We bought this after visiting friends who had a similar unit. We like the sustainability features. We selected the black matte model as if coordinated with our kitchen decor. It is very easy to use, and we rotate through 3 bottles in the fridge so we always have sparkling water to drink. The water tastes great and we are happy to reduce how many aluminum cans we need to recycle.

My friends have one of these and love drinking Pellegrino. After a few months I decided to purchase it because Pellegrino on the regular does add up. This is an elegant design and super easy to set up and use. I prefer Pellegrino over most sparkling water. However, this is convenient, affordable in the long term, and the bubbles are crisp.

The Aarke is well-constructed (not plastic), space saving (sleek and narrow), easy to use (accepts a variety of cylinders, including using a SodaMod adapter on a standard CO 2 cylinder.

This looks great on the counter, makes great sparkling water, and is helping reduce plastic waste by not using disposable bottles.

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.

Let’s face it, flat water is a cornerstone to life. You need it to exist. Unfortunately, it is flavorless, flat, and just all around boring to drink. Carbonated water is just better. It's like flat water's way cooler and more fun sibling. It makes you want to drink water. But all those cans and bottles are so bad for the environment and your friends look at you like a neanderthal for going through recycling bin after bin of empties when all you're trying to do is be healthier.Enter the Aarke Carbonator Premium. This thing hits on all the points:1) You get to drink water that you enjoy2) It's basically a functional work of art and you will love to have it displayed in your kitchen, unlike the clunky plastic shells used by SodaStream. (Full disclosure, I've used SodaStreams for YEARS and it was my #1 purchase in 2012), but they break. There, I said it.3) It is pricy, but it works exceptionally well and is very solidly built.4) When you upgrade, all the SodaStream bottles (water and co2) work with it.5) C'mon, look at it. If you're reading this, you already want it, and you just want someone to say it's a good idea. Let me say it right now. Buy it. You won't be disappointed.Now, drink up!

Well worth the cost if you appreciate some style and function ... and actually drink seltzer. Otherwise, its just expensive kitchen decor next to the juicer, air fryer, rice cooker and egg poacher ... all great, if you use them. This, even less so, but it does look very stylish, functions well and more economical / ecological to purchasing say, 300 bottles of sparkling water. The cartridges are expensive, but that's the same for any model, so doesn't change overall cost/benefit analysis.

The media could not be loaded.  El aparato es ligero, no necesitas electricidad es manual, el color en el que lo compré es precioso realmente no tengo ninguna queja. El único detalle es que dice que es compatible con los cilindros avera y directamente hablando con los de avera me dijeron que no es así, ahora no sé qué cilindro usar y estoy desesperada

Den ser flott ut och är enkel att använda

Super schöner sprudler. Leider habe ich nicht mitbekommen dass der Gas Zylinder nicht dabei war u musste den im Nachgang bestellen. Ansonsten hat der sprudler eine extrem schöne Farbe, wirkt sehr hochwertig. Das Zubehör war auch sehr hochwertig in schwarzen kleinen Briefen verpackt. Das Mineralwasser schmeckt sehr gut. Kann ich empfehlen. Würde ich wieder kaufen

Funciona muy bien y produce buen gas.Otra cosa es que el gas se mantenga en la botella, pero esto ocurre en todos los casos cuando compras agua von gas. Importante es hacerlo con agua fria.
