Carbonator III Sparkling Water Maker

I have had 4 Soda Streams in the past several years. I purchased this machine when my Soda Stream stopped working. I am so glad I bought this! Pros: it seems to use up all of the Co2 in the canister, small footprint on my counter, really fizzy water. Cons: it makes quite a racket when I fizz water, but heck, that’s a small price to pay! I am a total Aarke convert now! Highly recommend!

We spent toooooo much money on La Croix, and other sparkling water brands. This has been the best purchase for us this year! It will only continue to save us money and it is awesome to have fresh carbonated water! Big plus is less packaging waste as well. Do yourself a favor a buy it. So much nicer than the cheaper competitors like Sodastream.

This is truly a very beautiful kitchen appliance. I ordered the stainless steel which is very sleek & modern. It takes pride of place on the kitchen counter and has no electrical plug to hinder the aesthetics. I enjoy making bubbly water each day and can adjust the volume of bubbles to my liking. Although it’s likely to take years to offset the cost, I am happy to have found a product that helps reduce my plastic & glass usage.

We've had this working in our home for a bit under 2 months now and are still quite impressed. We love that it is mostly metal, super simple to use, has a very small footprint, is actually attractive on your countertop or in your bar, and doesn't need to be plugged in. We actually tried to tally just how many uses we were able to get out of the first cartridge we purchased and we believe we actually got more than 120 cans out of it - based on only 2 pulls per bottle (we don't feel the need for a third pull and honestly never tried only one lol) That's not an exact science by any means, and that cartridge may have just been a winning fluke - we'll see as we are tallying our 2nd cartridge now... but knowing that we are getting 120 can out of a $15 refillable cartridge has helped us to feel free to drink as much as we want per day! And we are no longer contributing to the recycling issues or adding to landfills because we are able to reduce our usage of aluminum with this little marvel! I just truly hope that it lasts for a very long time, can't see why it wouldn't, unless something with the pull lever itself fails... but only time will tell. I feel quite good in telling everyone to go ahead and purchase this if you like reducing your footprint while loving as much carbonated water as you can handle!
