Aarke Carbonator Pro - Premium Sparkling Water Maker, Stainless Steel

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!

This is my second Aarke sparkling water machine. I started with the simpler one. It was great having sparking water whoever we wanted it. This one, more refined is so worth the upgrade in my experience. What's material. Easily overlooked... this thing is so much quieter than any other carbonator I've used. The plastic bottle ones do their work in the open air and when the bottle has its fill of CO2, it vent's, loudly, into the room. With this one a robust glass container goes in a closed carbonation chamber. Presumably this is a safety measure in case the glass were to shatter. To me, the most compelling effect of this chamber is making the process quiet. I would. say this unit is 20 db quieter than the other one. It's material and makes making sparkling water enjoyable; now it's a sort of a magic trick instead of a chore. Second is I really like using the glass containers. We put them on the table when serving, they're artful enough for even fancier meal service. This thing is pretty expensive. I don't lament the investment even a little.

They do not send a cartridge with the unit so once the unit arrived, we had to order a cartridge. By the time the cartridge arrived I was out of town. When I returned home I assembled it and the directions were somewhat ambiguous so I thought that maybe I was not doing as well as I should. . I tried it for about a week and a half. There are bubbles in the water, but not as many as I thought there would be. Also, when I tilted the unit upside down I could see that it is not all stainless steel. There is something inside that looks like it could be plastic or silicone and the whole reason I spent all that extra money was because I did not want plastic or silicone with my water. Today decided that I should return it, but of course the time limit ran out a couple of days ago. I am very depressed that I put my faith in this company and I feel like a loser.

Clean look

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…

Nice item that works to carbonate our water without plastics.

After several soda streams, which my family wasn’t crazy about mostly because of the plastic bottles and flimsy construction, we splurged on the aarke. It’s beautifully and solidly designed, the glass bottles are great (I bought a couple extra for when we have company), and we haven’t bought bottled soda water since.

this is unfortunate, that the locking mechanism keeps failing in all the reviews I keep seeing. I really wanted to get one to try it out for a cocktail I'm making a bar. guess till they full proof their seal I won't buying one. I have their other model and have been using it for over a month and it works like a champ. before that I had a carbonator where you had to drill a hole in the cap of the soda bottle and crack the canister and push the button to release the c02 into the liquid and shake to agitate it. I lost it :( sadly and was just gonna buy a soda stream. but honestly, they looked all cheap and plastic.

I love my new bubble maker. Simple to use. Fits right in my kitchen. The carbon loading bay is a bit tricky but figured it out eventually.

I upgraded to this one because our SodaStream Duo us is impossible to clean and I just didn't like using it when the carbonator has gone brown after years. I had hoped by spending more and reading all the blurb this one would come apart for cleaning - durable and sustainable design - the 3 has visibly a steel carbonator so I assumed that the pro would too. I picked the Pro because it's simply easier for clumsy hands and, like our old soda stream, glass bottles. Not a fan of plastic. Seems I was wrong, the carbonator on the Pro is plastic and not removable for cleaning so it's probably going back. Very disappointed. I really thought I'd finally found one that could be properly cleaned.

Das Gerät ist formschön, stabil und für den täglichen Gebrauch sehr zu empfehlen. Die benötigte Wasserflaschen kann man, auch bei Besuch, auf den Tisch stellen, von der Qualität bzw. Ambiente her passt es immer. Ich hatte beim Kauf Sorge ob der Austausch der CO² Flaschen wirklich reibungslos funktioniert. Nun, nach einigen Flaschenwechsel kann ich sagen "absoluter schneller entspannter Tausch", einfach Spitze! Daher, siehe oben, 5 Sterne Update: Leider ist genau 3 Tage vor Ablauf der Garantie das Gerät defekt. Bei sofortiger Reklamation bei Support Aarke bekam ich als Antwort ein Standard- Mail mit Vorschläge der Fehlerbehebung. Das zeigte mir, dass sich niemand mit meiner Reklamation auseinander gesetzt hat, denn diese Art von Fehler wird nicht behandelt. Meine erneute Reklamation wurde nicht beantwortet. Das Gerät selber ist, wie zuvor beschrieben, Klasse, aber Wehe es fällt aus, dann kann man es in die Tonne kloppen und das bei über 300€. Ich könnte es selber öffnen und nach den Fehler schauen, aber da ich keinen Zusammenbau- Plan davon habe, lasse ich die Finger davon, sonst ist die Garantie futsch.

Excelente para uso doméstico, hemos ahorrado en plásticos y desechables, al no comprar más agua con gas embotellada.

We had the regular one for years and used to go through co2 canisters 4 every 1O days now w the professional one I used one co2 canister every 2 weeks plus the glass bottle are great and it makes super carbonation. Well worth the money highly recommended
