Overview
Push-to-lock and cordless, this stainless steel carbonator pairs with a reusable glass bottle sized around 800 mL (27 fl oz). It carbonates water using a CO2 cylinder rather than electricity.
Aarke markets this as an upgrade over its plastic-bottle Carbonator 3, built around a glass bottle instead. Reviews split sharply: several buyers call the carbonation weaker and leakier than a SodaStream, and at least one found an internal part failed within two months. The CO2 cylinder is sold separately from the machine, so factor that into setup time.
- Stainless steel body
- Glass bottle, about 800 mL / 27 fl oz
- Push-to-lock one-handed carbonating
- Cordless, no electricity required
Who it's for
Suits buyers who want a countertop appliance that looks good and are fine sourcing a CO2 cylinder before first use. Less suited to anyone chasing maximum fizz strength or wary of durability issues in premium small appliances, since both surface in the reviews.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviews are mixed: many buyers like the look, the glass bottle and the one-handed operation, and say it has cut their spending on canned sparkling drinks. Others report weaker carbonation and minor leaking versus a SodaStream, and at least one buyer had an internal mechanism fail within two months of ownership.
