Does the Aarke Carbonator III need electricity?

No. It carbonates with a manual lever, so there is no cord, battery or power adapter.

What CO2 cylinders does it use?

It takes standard 60 L CO2 cylinders, the same type SodaStream uses. You exchange empties rather than refilling them yourself.

The Aarke has a stainless steel body and a cleaner look, while SodaStream machines cost less and offer flavor syrups and more bottle options.

The carbonator and one PET bottle. No CO2 cylinder is included in every pack, so check before buying.

No. Carbonate plain water only, then add flavor afterward, or the machine and bottle can clog and spray.

A standard 60 L cylinder makes roughly 60 liters of sparkling water, depending on how fizzy you like it.
