Customers are mixed about the size of the soda maker. Some mention that it takes up very little counter space and is easy to use. The included bottle is a nice size, and it fits under their cabinets even when it's in use. However, others say that it'd be better suited for big bubble lovers.

21 customers mention3 positive18 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the soda maker. They mention that it starts leaking water and CO2 before at low pressure. The gasket won't seal, and the handle sticks, causing it to continuously expel gas into the bottle.

"...you may otherwise empty your bottle as most customers experience tiny leaks." Read more

"...It stopped working because the cylinder was empty. All of the CO2 had leaked out due to the fact that no gasket had been installed at the factory...." Read more

"...spout for the machine , the bottle never sat right and water would explode on me, every third or so bottle I filled...." Read more

"...obligated to replace the two CO2 containers I wasted because of the missing seal...." Read more

On the expensive side but works perfectly, is well made, and looks very nice on the kitchen counter. Used daily and now from an eco perspective am eliminating almost a case of aluminum cans a month. I use the cold filtered water from my refrigerator and in less than 2 minutes have a quart of cold sparkling water.

This is the BEST on the market

Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2023

Model: AAC3-WHITESize: Carbonator OnlyVerified Purchase

All I can say is that this brand is the BEST. First off, it looks like a statement piece, like a high end appliance, with a finish like a kitchen aid mixer. I got the white color since it goes with everything. There really aren’t any plastic pieces everywhere like the other one’s entire body. To put the gas cylinder in, you just insert it in the hole in the bottom of the unit and screw it in. Super easy. You don’t have to angle it in or something else stupid. The only drawback at all I would say is that the unit isn’t well weighted, not even with the cylinder in. It stands just fine and functions perfectly without having to hold the machine but I just wish there was more of a weighted bottom to be extra sturdy. Finally, the bottle it very chique, not like the other ones at ALL, BUT the other brand of bottles DO FIT PERFECTLY! Pay attention to the expiration dates on the bottle since it could be dangerous otherwise. I would never buy the other one again, ever. The carbonation is even better. Get a few new gas cylinders from the store so you will never run out and you can just exchange the cylinders.

Stopped working after three+ months, AARKE support non-existant

Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2024

Model: AAC3-SandSize: Carbonator OnlyVerified Purchase

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.

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 that 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.

Model: AAC3-SteelSize: Carbonator OnlyVerified Purchase

Super Produkt, schnell einsatzfähig und intuitiv bedienbar. Ein echter Hingucker und sehr schick. Musste ihn allerdings zwei mal bestellen, da der Edelstahl sehr anfällig ist für Kratzer, also besser gründlich im Licht kontrollieren. Es war allerdings kein Problem ihn umzutauschen.
Nach längerer Benutzung finde ich den Edelstahl schwierig, da sofort Fingerabdrücke auf dem Gerät sind und man oft Polieren muss. Dafür ist aber extra ein Tuch mitgeliefert. Wer sich die Arbeit machen möchte für den Edelstahl wird damit aber glücklich werden :)

It’s actually made me drink way more water. If you love sparking water then this is for you. Only thing is the co2 bottles are €30. You get €10 when you return an empty but it’s still kinda expensive. This product is great though.

Great looking piece of kitchen kit!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 23, 2024

Model: AAC3-GoldSize: Carbonator OnlyVerified Purchase

The media could not be loaded.

I’m so happy with this machine! It looks like it belongs in a much fancier house than mine!

It was packaged really well and the unboxing felt luxurious. It even came with a polishing cloth! There was a Co2 cylinder included, which was a nice surprise as that wasn’t shown in the pictures or listed in the box contents. Really great value!

The PET bottle feels safe and sturdy. The cap and base are stainless steel so it looks good enough to serve from if entertaining. I like that smaller bottles are available to fizz a single serving.

It’s really simple to set up and use. I was drinking fizzy water 5 minutes after it was delivered!

The machine itself feels like just the right weight. Heavy enough to be secure and not wobble, but light enough that it can be moved easily.

I buy a lot of sparkling water and felt guilty about the amount of bottles I was getting through, but really didn’t want an ugly plastic Sodastream on the counter. This is a perfect solution!

If I had one quibble it’d be that the PET bottle doesn’t match the machine, but that’s hardly a deal breaker. I’m really scraping the barrel to find a downside. It’s great- just get one!
