Does it come with a CO2 cylinder?

No. It takes standard 60-liter CO2 cylinders, which are sold separately.

Does it need electricity or batteries?

No. It is fully manual and runs on CO2 pressure alone.

What bottle does it use?

It comes with a 27-oz glass bottle that attaches with a push-down, self-locking fitting.

Can it carbonate juice or flavored drinks?

No. It is made for plain tap water; flavor should be added after carbonating.

How is it different from the Aarke Carbonator 3?

The Pro adds the push-down bottle attachment, self-locking system and internal dampers for a smoother one-handed stroke.

Wipe the steel body with the included cloth; the glass bottle is hand-washed.

Our take on the Carbonator Pro Steel

The Aarke Carbonator Pro is a stainless steel sparkling water maker with a push-down lever that locks the bottle and carbonates in one motion. Internal dampers and gas springs make the lever feel smooth and controlled, and the build is mostly metal with little plastic. It uses standard 60-liter CO2 cylinders and needs no electricity or batteries. It suits people who drink sparkling water often and want a countertop machine that looks like a kitchen appliance rather than a gadget.
