  • Sleek design that looks good on our bar cart. We like to have dinner parties often which always comes with making yummy cocktails with our friends. Being able to make what we like to call "spicy water" on tap is essential in our home. super simple setup and easy to use. It is littler scary in the beginning because you're scared to overdo it and pop the bottle but after a few uses you will get the hang of it. Definitely a conversation piece that everyone is always jealous they do not have.

  • Love my Aarke soda maker. I have had it since 2020 and still use it constantly. I make a lot of my own drinks and top them off with soda, or it’s a good non-alcoholic option too. It is easy to use. I purchased two of the Aarke bottles and the soda lasts a good week in them. The co2 canisters are easy to get through soda sense and last me all summer. I splurged for this because of the design aesthetic, worth every penny.

  • Have had an Aarke for years and absolutely adore it! Wish they sold glass bottles for the classic carbonator but, again, I've loved it for years as is. Nothing else compares!

  • I wish it were easier to get non-plastic bottles! Went with this over others because of the look, and metal (vs plastic) factor. It doesn't need an outlet, which makes finding a home for it easy. We use SodaStream CO2, and the exchange is very convenient - I was worried it wouldn't be easily accessible, but it is. To note: the water flavor is reliant on the quality of the water you use. (might be obvious, but let's say your tap water doesn't taste good, your sparkling won't be any better)

  • It’s pricy but I love mine! Worth the investment if you’re a daily seltzer drinker. I love how clean and minimal it is compres to the clunk I was of the brand name “Soda Stream” machines.

  • If you're a sucker for aesthetics and a fan of sparkling water this is for you! I feel fancy af using the lever instead of a button and the materials are high-quality.

    Excited to see what other products they come out with in the future!

  • Takes your carbonization to a sparkling new level! We love our Aarke and have for years. High quality in every regard and a pleasure to use.

    Feedback

    No complaints... does what it says on the tin and does it well.

  • Super luxe design and very counter-top space friendly. I also love that it does not require a wall plug-in as some of their competitors do. Pretty great seltzer.

    Feedback

    More flavor drops and definitely at a lower price-point than they are at right now.

  • I love my Aarke seltzer machine. It is definitely pricy and I wish it wasn't so expensive, but it feels incredibly premium when you use it (noticeably better quality than other plastic seltzer makers). Easy to put together, stands the test of time. I've used mine several times a week for the past year and it works as well as the day I purchased it.

    Feedback

    More affordability! Would love to hear more about the brand story & suggestions for fun drinks/recipes to make with it

  • Durable, luxury item for your countertop. Simple to use with well-designed handle and now offers glass bottles.

  • I've had my eye on this carbonator for a while now. I got it as a present for my birthday this year, and I love it. It did not disappoint. It looks so nice in my kitchen. I get questions about it, love the design and functionality it has.

  • We discovered the Aarke many years ago via The Grommet. (Full disclosure: I founded Grommet, but I bought the Aarke just like any of our customers would have.) I bought it to replace our prior carbonated water unit (insert better known brand here) because the design of the unit and the bottles was/is so much better. It works really well and I like that it nearly disappears on my counter.

    Feedback

    Unlike (better known brand), it is a little harder to know when the carbonization pumping action is complete. The unit emits a strange kind of AAAACCCK sound and you stop. It will only take you a couple of uses to get the hang of it.

  • I love my carbonator. I get compliments and questions about it every time someone sees it and I recommend it to everyone around me. I really value design and although this product isn't as affordable as other carbonators, I think if you're willing to invest in high quality and great design it is so very worth it. You can also find small deals online here and there.

    Feedback

    I wish the plastic bottle that expires could be sent back to the company and replaced for free as a recycling program.

  • I have both the water carbonator and the water purifier. The carbonator is well design and the aesthetic works well in my kitchen. It is priced higher than other similar devices but since it's something that is out on my counter tops all the time I want it to look like something that fits in with everything else. The water purifier is all glass and metal and has an innovative design. The filter is refillable.

    Feedback

    I wish the water purifier filters were available in larger packs, more compostable packaging, and locally. I think this would improve the sustainability of the product.

  • It is definitely expensive but I’m glad that there is a good, sustainable alternative to Soda Stream whose politics I cannot support.

  • Aarke is a glorified soda stream and a bit over priced in my option. It does look quite lux but when I bought mine, plastic bottles were the only option.

    Feedback

    Good for it you want a fancy bubble maker, try to find it on sale.

  • The carbonator is sleek and powerful. It's a simple design that gets the job done, and I like that it is cordless, meaning that you can operate this carbonator on any flat surface in your home.

  • Amazing and luxury alternative to the soda stream, super sleek looking and great quality.

    Feedback

    Offer more color options for the machines.

  • Obsessed! So stylish! While the buy in for this luxe product comes at a high cost, the amount of money I've saved on carbonated water for events, dinner parties definitely makes it worth it!

    Feedback

    The base of the bottle fell off, needed to super glue it back on.

  • Before I talk about the aesthetics of this, I would love to discuss it's functionality. This carbonator has completely elevated my experience with Seltzer. The ability to control how much carbonation I want, as well as what water I want to carbonate has really made my seltzer experience a lot more enjoyable. Besides the fact that it creates incredible seltzer, the design of this carbonator has three things I love: sleekness, chicness, and simplicity!
