Aarke Carbonator Pro, Sparkling Water Maker with Glass Bottle, Sand Finish

Pros- We love this, looks amazing, easy to use and especially like the glass bottles. Saved load on plastic recycling. Cons- initial outlay is expensive. Soda stream is cheaper and the bottles hold slightly more volume but we use this daily for our tonic. Updated review- fault occurred at 7 months with the lid not engaging to facilitate carbonation. Will update you later how Aarke handle this. Update- 10/23, we used this daily for 7 months and then it broke, the lid wouldn’t engage and couldn’t carbonate. Aarke replaced this for free but took a month with postage time etc, not great. The new one has worked for about six weeks and now the same thing has happened. We are really disappointed as this was bought as our wedding gift to ourselves and have asked for a full refund from Amazon who have honoured this with no issue. We are going back to our very old possibly antique but still working shabby plastic soda stream. Save your money if you need reliability.

I'm on my second one of these. the locking mechanism fails which renders them useless. Looks good doesn't work

J'étais un peu sceptique. Mais joli design, même si un peu grand . Grande facilité d'utilisation. Eau gazeuse excellente , facilement et rapidement faite. Bon pour la planète , bon pour le porte monnaie ( amorti en 1 an 1an et demi si consommation 1 bouteille Par jour ) Je recommande vivement . Je ne m'en passerais plus

Eine gute Stabilität, gute Haptik, optisch ganz unser Geschmack.

Ottimo.

最初に届いた製品は、炭酸が非常に入りにくく、強めの炭酸にするためには毎回 8～9 回ボタンを押す必要がありました。 さらに、使い続けるうちにだんだん炭酸が入りにくくなっていきました。 その後メーカーに相談し、本体を交換していただいたところ、新しい製品は使用感がまったく異なり、1 回の操作でしっかりとした強炭酸が作れるようになりました。 デザイン性も非常に優れており、正常な製品であれば満足度は高いと思います。 まだ使い始めたばかりなので、今後も様子を見ながら使用していく予定ですが、現時点ではおすすめできる商品です。

Pros: Looks good (at least at first), does what it's supposed to do well enough while it works. Cons: First, the stand where the bottle sits has no drainage, and there are several edges that make it awkward to remove any water that collects in the stand. Even if you use the carbonator properly, taking care not to overfill the bottle and to avoid splashing, water will drip into the stand, it will sit there, and is likely to leave unpleasant mineral stains on the stainless steel. I would not expect a design flaw like this in a piece of equipment at this price. My carbonator also stopped working after around six months. The enclosure would not stay connected when pushing the button. I contacted the company, and after four days they replied with two suggestions (manually moving the lock ring back and forth, and loosening and re-tightening some screws), which didn't work, and the carbonator then just sat on my counter for another six months doing nothing. I just took another look at the carbonator, and was able to get it working again by loosening the screws and leaving them loose, so that they are visibly unscrewed and sticking out of the enclosure. I have no idea how long this fix will continue to work. To sum up: it's a nice-looking machine that is badly designed, badly built, and Aarke's customer service is unhelpful.
