So far I absolutely love my new Aarke carbonator! I do feel it goes through canisters rather quickly, which bums me out but then again I have nothing to compare it to and we are still refining our use. I have found that a single "pump" of the handle carbonates really well, so this may improve.
I purchased it because it is primarily made of metal instead of plastic and I associate that with good quality plus I'm really trying hard to minimize my purchases of plastics.
So nice to not have to buy carbonated water anymore. It tastes great and I even tested keeping a bottle I made in the fridge for a few days and it was still fresh and carbonated. Also the minimal counter space and sleek design is a major plus, especially in an apartment where space is limited. Such a great buy, don’t know how I went without this for so long.
I ordered this because I was tired of the cheap-looking, plastic Soda Stream brand options for making sparkling water. It is straightforward, easy to set up, and comes with an amusing-to-read user guide. Everyone who has seen it so far has gasped in delight; it's just that magnificent. Definitely worth the splurge.
We're addicted to San Pegrino and Perrier, buying multiple bottles per month... On top of the trash aspect, they are bottled overseas, so you can imagine how bad it was for our planet... This item is really easy to use, the water tastes great and has enough bubbles. Not mentioning it looks beautiful. We LOVE IT!
my wife and I have had this for the last 2 months and we use this thing daily. We have 2 air canisters and are just now running out of air in the second one. We use it with filtered water and don’t even bother with the flavorings anymore it’s so good(except sometimes fresh lime slices - excellent). We always do 3 level pulls to charge our water. We used to drink so many cans of lacroix a day, but neither of us miss it! Many people have purchased this after coming to our house and trying our sparkling water.
I always wanted a soda making machine ever since these types of gadgets hit the market. But I never want something in my kitchen that doesn’t look good enough to leave out and not be an eye sore. This is the best most design forward soda maker on the market and you will love having this beautiful thing to use and won’t mind having it sit out on your counters.
Our first one was not working right but Amazon quickly sent us a replacement and it works amazing! Looks alot better on the counter than the other brand ones, I got the stainless steel. It did cost twice as much as other brands but I'd say it's worth it because its much better to look at. We go through about a canister of air a week, but that's cause my fiancee drinks alot of soda water and extra carbinates his water everyday.
This is an amazing product. Unfortunately, we live in a time that we do not often get quality and value. Soda Stream is truly a great product. I have “infected” my entire family with it and everyone loves it. I had a problem with one of the units, sent an e-mail, got not only a reply within a couple of hours (with an apology) but an offer of a replacement or refund. My new unit is on the way. Great product and terrific customer service, what more could you ask for? P.S. -Try freshly squeezed lemon juice, a little agave syrup, and bubbles. You will never buy another bottled soda or seltzer. Check out the post right here https://trustorereview.com/best-sparklin...-maker-reviews/
