Overview
The aarke Carbonator III is an all-metal, electricity-free soda maker that carbonates water with a screw-in CO2 cylinder and a lever, rather than the mostly plastic build common on other machines. It comes with an 800ml BPA-free PET bottle and is rated to get roughly 167 cans' worth of carbonation from one cylinder.
It requires no power outlet and installs a CO2 cylinder by simply screwing it into the base.
- All-metal stainless steel body, no plastic casing
- Electricity-free lever carbonation system
- Screw-in CO2 cylinder installs without angling or tools
- Includes an 800ml BPA-free PET bottle
Who it's for
For anyone who wants a countertop soda maker that looks and feels like a kitchen appliance rather than a plastic gadget, and drinks plain sparkling water daily. Not the choice if fast warranty support matters more than build quality, since more than one reviewer describes a slow response from aarke's customer service.
Pros and cons
- All stainless steel body, no plastic housing
- No electricity needed to operate
- CO2 cylinder installs by screwing it straight into the base
- One cylinder rated for around 167 cans' worth of carbonation
- Unit isn't heavily weighted, so it can shift slightly if bumped
