aarke Carbonator Pro, Sparkling & Carbonation Water Machine, Stainless Steel with Glass Reusable Bottle Volume 800 mL and CO2 Cylinder (Matte Black)

This is the carbonator for those who are trying to avoid plastic in their diet. It is extremely simple to operate and makes very fine bubbles that stay in the water in the glass bottle for a long time. The whole family loves it. The one thing they could do to improve this is to give the option of connecting a 5 or10 pound CO2 cylinder instead of buying the small refills from them.

All worked fine for 3 months. Then locking mechanism failed, making it impossible to use. No easy way to fix it. Sending back to the manufacturer.

As a previous drinker, it's more then just the drunkeness that's the draw. It's the crispness of a beer on a warm day, or the crisptness of a hard selter. This replicates the experience and is a huge part of what got me to stop drinking all the time. Ask your guy what flavors he wants you get him, and then give him more to try. He'll find one that takes his mind off alcohol while he's in the moment. Try it and it would be great to see these reviews turn into success stories.

This thing is the bomb. It puts the Sodastream glass version to absolute shame. The mechanism works better. It carbonates better and there is generally less fighting with it as there is with the soda stream.

it’s ok, definitely not worth $350. Getting proper carbonation is challenging. It needs some automation that can detect carbonation or temperature to improve its performance. This thing $350…

Our Aarke Pro no longer locks over the bottle. Will update after contacting customer service.Update: Aarke asked for a video of the problem and then offered to replace the unit since it was under warranty. Oddly enough, the unit started working properly again, latching properly over the bottle. Not sure if I will replace the unit now.

I don't know what I expected buying online but the little closing mechanism with the prongs for the water bottle don't close. And I wasted my time and money now

I've used it 5 times so far and I love it! I did a bit of research before this purchase and I'm very happy with the results. The machine itself is beautiful and looks great on the counter.I would say that you have to "press and hold" to hear the buzzing sound of the water being carbonated.The reservoir in the bottom to collect water that spills is quite nice...it does come in handy.I would recommend flavoring your water after carbonating it. I'm buying a second bottle!
