- How does it compare with a SodaStream?
- The Aarke has a steel body and a lever instead of buttons, so it looks and feels more premium. SodaStream models are mostly plastic and usually cost less, and some carbonate harder.
- Is the bottle dishwasher safe?
- No. The included PET bottle is hand-wash only, so rinse it after each use and wash it by hand.
- Does it need electricity?
- No. It runs on the CO2 cylinder only, so there is no cord or battery.
- What is in the box?
- The carbonator, one CO2 cylinder and one PET bottle. Extra bottles are sold separately.
- Can I use any CO2 cylinder?
- Use standard Aarke or SodaStream-compatible cylinders. Aarke sells its own refills and many stores swap empty cylinders.
- Is the Carbonator III worth it over the Carbonator II?
- The III has a revised lever and a steadier base. If you already own a II, the upgrade is mostly cosmetic; first-time buyers get the improved version.
- Where is the Aarke Carbonator lll with CO2 Cylinder cheapest?
- At Aarke, for $275.00, as of our latest check.
