It works right out of the box. Fantastic!
Model: AAC3-Stainless Steel Size: Carbonator Only
Where has this been for the past decade of my life. This all metal carbonator is the absolute dream. Easy to attach the small carbonator bottles and can take the cord for attachment to at 5# CO2 bottle. It looks sleek, fits easy on my counter and above all works well right out of the box. The carbonation is excellent and I love watching the bubbling in the bottle as it carbonates. If you are looking to get out of the Soda Stream proprietary line, this is what you are looking for as an upgrade. Yes it is worth it for sparkling water that you add things to if you want. Does not work with juices and flat soda as the sugars can get into the nozzle and block future use of the machine. ... show more

Best carbonator I've ever used
Model: AAC3-Stainless Steel Size: Carbonator Only
To start, I really like carbonated water. I carbonate and drink 3 liters per day. I bought this carbonator 3 1/2 years ago and it's still going strong. It works well, and I prefer the screw-in method for bottles compared to the "quick lock" mechanisms. Why? Those quick lock machines end up dying after 12-24 months of use. Either the lock mechanism fails or the gasket that makes it have a seal deteriorates or breaks. After going through 5 or 6 Sodastream machines (their machines are crap) and one KitchenAid machine, I read about aarke. It's much higher quality, and I'll never buy another machine using quick lock. aarke is an expensive machine without a lot of bells and whistles, but it works really well and is very durable. ... show more

Best countertop carbonator
Model: AAC3-Stainless Steel Size: Carbonator Only
I purchased this unit in April of 2023, I use it heavily, multiple times a day. At first I used it for soda flavors, but then started using teat packets to make fruit flavored water. On average, daily use is at least 4-5 liters per day. I just noticed that I seemed to be going through more tanks lately. So I looked it up online, the unit comes with a spare gasket at the bottom apparently, Mine did not have one, for whatever reason. I send customer service an email about where I could get a replacement, and they are sending them out. I have used several other carbonators in the past, this one as out lasted all of them. It's also looks great and is exceptionally well made. It looks as good as the day I bought it. The best part of the design is the open housing, it is much easier to clean as it air dries naturally, the drip plate is easy to remove, and also is old metal. So you don't get the wear and tear that you see on ones made from plastic. ... show more

Best Carbinator & Worth the Cost
Model: AAC3-Stainless Steel Size: Carbonator Only
I have used a lot of carbonators over the years. This is by far the best one I have used. It makes the strongest bubbles consistently. The unit itself is looks great in my kitchen with my other stainless steel appliances. I think it is a great carbonator and worth the cost.

glad i found this
update 5/22/2025: my replacement aarke is working just fine after almost 2 years and i'm very happy with it. update 7/17/2023: no one responded to my second attempt to contact aarke customer service. however, 6 days after that second attempt at contact, i finally got a response (after 28 days of silence) from the person who was originally communicating with me. they told me that my replacement would be shipping soon. five days later, i received my replacement. while i'm happy to get a replacement, the process was far from simple or efficient. it was 34 days from the day i first sent a message to aarke customer service to the day i got my replacement. i dropped my rating from 5 stars to 4 stars as a result of this bad experience with their customer service department. i hope that my replacement lasts longer than the original unit. should it fail, i'll try to remember to further amend this review. update 7/6/2023: my aarke broke about 2-1/2 months after i bought it. i contacted aarke through their website. on june 13th 2023 the rep told me that i was eligible for a replacement. since that time (22 days ago), i have sent 3 messages which have received no response. today i contacted aarke through their website again, telling them about this issue. i'll update this review again when i have new information. original review: i bought a Sodastream in 2018. it died in less than 4 years. when shopping for a replacement, i found that they had discontinued my previous model and i wasn't happy with the design of the newer models. nevertheless, i bought the one i disliked the least. i used it for almost a year, but was never very happy with it. it felt cheap, and i feared it would break, so i started looking around for an alternative. i'm very happy that i found the aarke. unlike my 2 Sodastreams, the Aarke is made of metal, and it feels so much sturdier during use. it also has a large open area where you screw the bottle it, which is very nice. and unlike my Sodastream, i don't have to push a lever with one hand and screw the bottle in with the other hand. i can use both hands to screw in the bottle, with no annoying lever to deal with. also, my Sodastreams were inconsistent and it was pretty much impossible to get the same level of carbonation every time. the way the Arkee works is that you pull a lever and it fills the bottle with gas until it reaches a certain pressure, then it makes a "fun sound" to let you know to release the lever. the "fun sound" is the Aarke releasing built up pressure. i like my water heavily carbonated, so for me it's 3 pulls of the lever and i get the exact same amount of carbonation every time. it's perfect! finally, due to the Aarke releasing the pressure after each pull of the lever, you don't get a mess when you unscrew the bottle. my Sodastreams would spray water all over when i removed the bottles. with the Aarke, i get maybe a drop or two or water wasted after each use. this is a simple, sturdy, well-designed carbonator that works with my Sodastream bottles, as well as my Sodastream and Soda Sense CO2 cannisters. i'm very happy with my purchase. ... show more

Stopped working after three+ months, AARKE support non-existant
Model: AAC3-Sand Size: Carbonator Only
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. ... show more
