aarke Carbonator II Water Carbonator, Stainless Steel Casing, Soda Water Carbonator, Including Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Bottle, Compatible with CO2 Sodastream Cylinders Silver

Well what a product! Looks great and works very well! No more plastic bottles for us! Why did we not do this sooner! Well made, sleek, easy care, really good tasting fizzy water. Water lever well sprung, sheer elegance! Very happy with our purchase! Designed in Sweden so you know it is quality! Looking forward to many years of use and many fizzy drinks. Uses soda stream cartridges which can be easily replaced at many outlets, so once you have purchased your cylinder, you exchange old for new and only pay for the CO2 refill. Easy? No more PLASTIC! Good for you and our PLANET!

I don't like having anything on show on my worktop but if I do, I needs to be stylish (and preferably gold haha).Lovely shade of gold/brass, sturdy and easy to use.Used to have the plastic one by the leading brand but this is a class apart. Fits the same cannisters as a standard machine so no issues getting refills from Argos.Wish they did bottles with gold tops (not silver). Something to think about...😉

It isn't really worth the price tag in my opinion, but if you want a sleek and premium looking alternative to a plastic'y SodaStream (and you can afford it) this is definitely the right choice for you! The 1lt bottle is a little large for my liking as I prefer to gas and drink straight away, rather than gas the water and store it in the fridge. To this end, I bought a pack of 2x plastic 500ml(450ml) sodastream bottles for under a tenner, and can confirm that they fit the Aarke just fine. Overall we are very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone.

It looks really nice and feels sturdy, easy to use and so far working well, but the carbonated bottle is a let down. I’ve had it since January 2020 and really only begun using it recently with the warm weather. The bottle looks very nice but stainless steel part at the bottom of the bottle had fallen off and doesn’t look like it was ever glued on. The stainless steel screw cap is just twisting and twisting for ages until eventually with the right pressure finally comes off. It’s rubbish. For nearly £30 to replace it gave an additional bottle I think it’s massively over priced and Aarke really should look at this.

Umming and Ahhing for a while because of the price and it's only water after all and even soda-stream was considered too frivolous in my household growing up. But then fizzy water is great but heavy and all that single use plastic..... Anyway, bought it and am very glad I did. It's a beautiful thing and a joy to use. The novelty has not worn off. My blood is fizzing.

Decided to buy a carbonator to cut down on single use plastic bottles so could not see the point buying a plastic machine to do my own. This is, as all other reviews have said, a well built machine and I know its more expensive but you get what you pay for and looks great on the counter.

I had high hopes for the item. When unpacking I immediately realised the beautiful design.Sadly at the very same moment, I also realised the astonishingly bad quality of the item!Considering we are talking a almost 200£ carbonator, I was expecting a solid build. But that thing looked like it was plastered together for 5$ in China.The metal has a feel and think ness you would see in a coke can.The handle was not adjusted with springs but was a hollow piece of metal just stuck j to the body, the bottom got a plastic lid which resembles a takeaway food container and didn’t even sat balanced. Leave alone being secure. The plastic bottle has to visible joints which again look downright dangerous!To me it seems the price tag comes for the rather handsome design but the vendor got greedy and cut the production cost to a level that this piece resembles something from the pound shop!Utterly frustrated as I now have to drag that rather large parcel back to a post shop to return that piece of cheap and dangerous junk!At this price point, the quality is utterly shocking!Please also be aware that the reviews are fake! Amazon states 800+ reviews and there are 23! 8 of which give it 1 am star! This whole thing seems like a bad scam!And that review comes from a guy who is used to buy high quality Kittchen items like Fissler, miyabi, gaggenau, etc....

Very happy with product. It looks good, and works well. drink a lot of carbonated water, saving the planet, from plastic bottles. Only slight negative, It is very tall, it dose not fit on worktops under wall units. So lives in utility room.
