- How does the Aarke Carbonator 3 compare with SodaStream?
- It is a manual lever machine with a stainless steel body, where most SodaStream models are plastic and some are electric. SodaStream offers more models, flavors and often a lower outlay; the Aarke focuses on build and design.
- Does it need electricity?
- No. It is fully manual, so there is no cord or battery. You carbonate by pulling the lever.
- What CO2 cylinder does it use?
- It takes standard 60-liter CO2 cylinders of the type sold for sparkling water makers. Check that the cylinder thread matches what is sold where you live.
- What is in the box?
- The carbonator and one PET bottle. The CO2 cylinder is usually sold separately, so confirm what the listing includes before buying.
- Can I carbonate juice or flavored drinks?
- No. Carbonate plain water only, then add flavor afterward. Sugary or pulpy liquids can clog the valve and are not covered.
- How big is it on the counter?
- It is about 6 inches wide, 10 inches deep and 16 inches tall, and weighs under 4 pounds. It fits narrow counter spots but is tall enough to need clearance above.
