Awesome Bubble Machine!

First of all, the unit looks great. I opted for the Matte Black Aarke Carbonator 2 rather than the Stainless Steel. My sister likes the Brass version as it almost looks like Rose Gold. But I opted for Matte Black as it's simple and looks great in my kitchen next to my black Keurig. The machine is very sleek and smooth, the Matte Black look awesome. I'm not a big fan of shiny chrome or anything like that, so this is right up my alley. Just simple and elegant. Regarding the use of it, it was so easy, I was worried I wasn't even doing it right. So easy to install and screw in the carbonating cartridge, extremely easy to screw in the PET bottle and even easier to pull down the handle and start carbonating. I ended up carbonating my first bottle 3x to get extra bubbliness. Suprisingly enough my 3-year old nephew likes carbonated/sparkling water, he drinks the perrier cans with the family all the time. So he really loved what came out of this machine. It's toddler approved! First I had him drink just the carbonated water, which tasted very similar to a plain perrier or san pelligrino sparking water. Then I added some flavor, Diet Ginger Ale, for the first one. Man, let me tell you, it tasted great with ice. My mom loved it, my sister, my brother and especially my 3-year old nephew. He kept asking for more. Aarke, you've definitely got yourself a loyal customer. I'm very pleased with the look, the ease of use, the taste, the design, all of it. Great product, I highly recommend it to anyone! I'm going to tell the whole family and my friends about it. I also love that it's definitely environmentally friendly since we're making it at home and not wasting cans, bottles, etc. Go for the Matte Black! You won't be disappointed!

Best carbonator machine available.

This machine is absolutely beautiful, and extremely well-made. It should last a lifetime. Absolutely no carbonation leaking anywhere when it’s being used. My only complaint about it might be that it is pricey, but it’s well worth it. I was getting tired of getting a new machine every few years, because they quit working well, and started leaking a lot of gas when being used. Could not be more pleased, plus it looks great in my kitchen.

Love this Machine

Extremely easy to use and exactly what I wanted. Having become addicted to La Croix and other sparkling water, I wanted a way to be able to make this myself. Extremely easy to use and fun to operate. I appreciated the different levels of carbonation you can create and overall how easy it was to figure out. Small detail, but its great that you do not have to plug in, and that it runs just off the tank. Looks great on my counter and excited to continue to use and find other drink combinations. I have been able to limit the amount of flavored water I purchase which is cost effective and eco-friendly with less single use cans and plastic. Highly recommended if you enjoy bubbles in your water :)

Great product

I had purchased the first generation, which broke shortly after I received it. The sellers were very quick to replace it with the second generation model. This one is definitely sturdier without any major changes to the aesthetics. The carbonators seem to last longer than with the first generation. So far I’ve been very happy with this model.

Elegant accessory

We love the AARKE - it looks great on our counter, works like a charm, saves us a ton of empty plastic bottles, and works really well. It's great that it has no cords or clutter and we use it every day. Maybe more $$ than sodastream but it looks like it belongs on the kitchen counter. Well built.

LOVE!!!!

I'm really loving this machine! It is super simple and very fun to operate. I love how I can choose how much gas I want to carbonate the water with as my tastes tend to vary daily! I can honestly say it has me drinking twice as much water. Additionally the machine is absolutely gorgeous, it looks amazing on my countertop and feels very solid!

Great Product

Very slim and sleek design. Matches perfectly with my modern style kitchen. I use to own a sodastream and love that i can also use the same tank for this product as well. I highly recommend this for all you soda lovers trying to save some money. Those $5 club sodas add up. :)

Works great

Looks and works great, easy to understand, sturdy. Ive been using mine multiple times a day for a few weeks. It makes great carbonation. A tad pricey, but for the amount I was paying for just buying 8 liters of carbonated water a week, including the cost for gas bottles it will take about 6 months to pay for itself. After that its a real money saver not to mention repeat trips to the store lugging heavy bottles. Really like the bottles. I pack two for work every day, no spill, perfect size. I would recommend this to a friend for sure. I add the Stur flavorings & electrolyte drops to kick it up a notch.

Beautiful Design and responsive Customer Support

I bought the first generation of Aarke when it first came out because of it’s gorgeous design that stood apart from anything else on the market. I was very happy with it’s performance until the seal for the cartridge started leaking after about a year and I saw a decline in the number of bottles of carbonated water. After an unsuccessful hunt for a replacement washer in my local hardware store, I contacted the company and they send a replacement kit for the seal. Unfortunately I installed it crooked and it leaked again right away. After asking the company for another replacement seal they offered to replace the whole unit with their second generation Aarke. I just got the new unit and it looks like they have listened to their customers and redesigned the washer used for the seal to be more generally available and also added a replacement washer just in case. I got the stainless steel one again, which held up really well with my first Aarke, it’s the same beautiful design and a conversation piece in my kitchen. They offer them in black now too which looks quite nice as well. So far it performs beautifully. I use the lever one time to carbonate my water and get about 60 bottles use out of one cartridge. I go through a couple of bottles a day, so one cartridge lasts about a month which is a lot cheaper than buying carbonated water. Exchange cartridges are sold pretty much everywhere. It makes the water taste so much better and it is a beautiful addition to my kitchen. So far I’m very happy with the machine and the very responsive customer service.

Better bubbles

We made a conscious decision and o eleiminate sodas a few years ago, but wanted something to spice up water. This is the trick!! Bubbles and then some fun flavors - or no flavors at all and just enjoy the bubbles!! So easy to use and adds a great amount of carbonation!! Looks great in my kitchen too. It is a substantial and well made product.
