5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Carbonator Ever?
I brought this aarke Carbonator 3 mainly because a friend has got one and it's a fantastic stylish extremely well built machine and makes brilliant bubbles & it much better than my SodaStream Sprit one electric machine,However the machine I received from this seller (JDM Distribution) when i opened the box the 1st indication this is a used machine was the folder which has the cleaning cloth and drip tray plate has scuff dirty makes on it, Then looking over the machine I found several scuff marks and scratches, The drip tray itself has worn scuff areas, Even so I setup the unit and straight away I didn't hear a buzzing noise from the valve as the instructions mentioned no matter how long I held it down, I tried a lot of testing and the carbonated water was OK the odd time but mostly very poor, If you do buy one goto YouTube their are videos showing how the machine should work & the correct way to use it This experience was nothing like my friends machine, So I emailed aarke including photos (which are attached with this review) aarke confirmed that (JDM Distribution) are a authorised UK agent But brand new Carbonator 3 should not look or operate like mine does & wouldn't leave them in that condition as before they are boxed they all go through a rigorous performance and Quality control inspection, they advised me to return it & get a replacement, I returned it for a full refund which I did get straight away, I paid £139.99 on aarke's website it's £179.99 Free shipping 30 days return and a 3yr warranty, So I ordered one it arrived in 4 days and is mint cosmetic condition and it's performance so far it fantastic, I ordered mine directly from aarke, i looked on Bolo UK and it had increased to £159.99 However it was supplied directly from Bolo eu. I couldn't find it sold a posted from JDM Distribution UK? I wonder why?, I also informed aarke that in my personal opinion I thought that JDM Distribution UK had sent me a returned item or a refurbished one, aarke said they would look into the matter but No customers should ever receive any of aarke products in that condition, I personally think the poor reviews about this machine maybe because the seller doesn't always ship Brand new items, of-course I don't have any proof of this but it makes you wonder, so I would highly recommend that you purchased a Carbonator 3 but NOT from JDM Distribution UK, if sold and distributed by Bolo UK then that fine & I would of done so but I got my fingers burnt and ordered directly from aarke as my friend had done, my friend has has his Carbonator 3 over 12mths and it's working perfectly with no problems and the quality of the build finish & performance is in a different league to SodaStream plastic models, So yes buy one just not from JDM Distribution UK!.
5.0 out of 5 stars Looks great on my countertop
A massive improvement on my old plastic SS. So easy to use and looks very classy, I was able to use my spare gas SS cylinder and SS bottle as well so they are interchangeable.

5.0 out of 5 stars What a treat
Love it
5.0 out of 5 stars Easy and simple to use.
Well built - easy to use - just wish I could carbonate cider more easily! It's expensive, but in hot weather when you are making two or three bottles a day, its great to just have fresh water straight out of our borehole, cold from the fridge, and fizzy. You could never get that with chemical rubbish from the shops - then theres the saving in plastic bottles. Instructions a bit confusing - waiting for a buzz - never happens. Dont worry - pull the lever, it bubbles, wait for it to start hissing when theres too much pressure, and slowly release. you get a spurt of escaping gas, and its done.
3.0 out of 5 stars Why don’t they tell you that gas is not included
The product is great, but honestly why don’t they tell you that the gas is not included and also it’s a bit fiddly putting the bottle into the thing and why don’t they make a bottle which is dishwasher proof? Why make things difficult for people?
5.0 out of 5 stars This is truly the king of carbonators!
Owned a Soda Stream for 3 months. The bottle to carbonator seal was never 100% and I ended up returning it. By contrast the Aarke machine has a wonderfully good seal to the bottle and looks superb. It is just as if the Aarke designers took a Soda Stream, looked at all its faults and designed them out. On top of this it is assembled with real screws and looks pretty easy to mend if ever repairs were needed. It even comes with a spare gas bottle sealing washer! Truly the nicest piece of kit that I have ever bought and a joy to behold as well.
3.0 out of 5 stars Broken after 9 months
Not working after 9 months in use. Was only using it 3-4 times a week. I changed the cylinder and new gasket but still not producing carbon. I think the lever is broken. It’s a shame I like design but did not last long. I will get Sage Infizz which I think is much better.
Works great, looks great!
Came quickly. No set up required…insert co2 and your ready to fizz! Works well and looks amazing on the countertop. Wish it had a full stainless or glass bottle as I’d like to leave plastic behind but it’s still a reusable bottle and has stainless steel trim.
GREAT ADVENTURE IN MAKING SELTZER WATER
What can I say other than I love this carbonator. Easy to assemble and use with confidence. Experimenting with flavorings is a plus and extra satisfying to enjoy with guests. A special treat for me, the quality and beautiful aesthetics of Aarke's carbonator is worth the expense.
Bel objet design et fonctionnel

Owned this carbonator since Apr 23 - still going strong. No issues to report and the product looks stylish in the kitchen. Recommended if you regularly like to have sparkling water on tap.
Funktioniert und ist stylisch
Nachdem unser bisheriger Sprudler uns zu sperrig erschien und auch nicht gut zu reinigen war haben wir uns neu orientiert. Der Carbonator gefällt und von der Form her gut und kann so gerne auch sichtbar in der Küche stehen. Ein Vorteil ist, dass er bei Einlegen der Flasche nichts nach oben ausgefahren wird, man kann ihn also unter einem Oberschrank belassen beim Befüllen.Wir haben uns für die Edelstahloberfläche entschieden, da kann nämlich keine Farbe abgestoßen werden. Fingerabfrücke sind mit einem Wisch entfernt. Das Einlegen der Kohlensäurepatrone ist sehr einfach und schnell erledigt. Das Eindrehen der Wasserflasche braucht am Anfang etwas Fingerspitzengefühl, da mn die Flasche ansonsten verkantet. Das lernt man allerdings schnell. Damit man nicht unnötig Kohlensäure verbraucht sollte man ausnahmsweise die Anleitung lesen. Insgesamt einfach zu bedienen.Die Wasserflaschen sind aus Kunststoff, sehen aber mit den Edelstahlanbauteilen gut aus. Glasflaschen dürfen nicht verwendet werden! Das ist bauartbedingt durch die fehlende Schutzhülle während des Sprudelns. Nur dadurch bleibt das Gerät auch so grazil. Wen das stört kann ja das Wasser ind Glasflaschen umfüllen und lagern.Das Gerät ist nicht gerade niederpreisig aber wir würden es wieder kaufen.
