Aarke impresses in reviews as a sleek, durable carbonator brand that works reliably and elevates the home seltzer experience, with high-quality metal construction and quick, powerful carbonation. Reviews also flag drawbacks: premium pricing, plastic bottle limitations (past lack of glass for classic models, expiring bottles), a screw-in bottle and learning curve, occasional component quirks, and an electric kettle with imprecise temperature settings.

Love this and use it almost every day in our house. It looks so nice out and we definitely save money on soda water. Fun for cocktails and NA drinks- as is or adding syrup/flavor. Liked so much we bought another.

I recently bought the Aarke Pro for my partner for his birthday. It was a bit of a splurge but I knew he's wanted one for a while and he likes to avoid plastic wherever possible so this felt like a great choice. Wow, it was even nicer in person than I expected. Everything about this product feels luxurious. From the glass bottles, the sounds and feeling as you open and close it, and it does a lovely job at carbonating water. It feels like this will last a long time, of course only time will tell but it feels super sturdy and trustworthy.

I have the aarke electric kettle and I like it but I don’t love it. Pros is that is gorgeous and the water really does stay hot forever. The temperate gauge will also change to show you what temp it’s all as the water cools over time. Additionally, it stays fairly clean or at least doesn’t look totally disgusting over time. It kind of goes from chrome to a brushed stainless steel. For me, a big con is not having adjustable temperatures. I thought that having 5 settings would be ok but it’s turns out they don’t seem to be 100% accurate. Overall I think if you just want an electric kettle to sit on your counter and look pretty then this will do the job! If you’re a serious tea drinker and want fine tuned temperatures I would opt for something else.

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.

It looks nice on the counter and works as advertised. The only challenge is getting new co2 tanks. A little bit of a hassle, but it is nice it cuts down on waste overall.

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.

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!
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!

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.

No complaints... does what it says on the tin and does it well.
If you like sparkling water, you should definitely get yourself a soda maker! Aarke soda makers look gorgeous and don't take up much space. if you drink soda frequently, you will save a lot on making soda at home.

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)

Best-looking carbonator on the market. It’s beautifully designed: minimalist, sleek, and made with high-quality materials. I have the matte black version, and it feels substantial and sturdy, like something that will last a long time. Functionally, it works really well and carbonates water quickly and effectively. The only tiny downside is that you have to screw the bottle in, whereas with Sodastream, you just insert it into the top. It’s such a small difference, but when you use it multiple times a day, you do notice it. Still, it’s hardly an inconvenience, and I love everything else about it.
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.

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

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