I've never been a big water drinker, but found myself dehydrated more often, perhaps just the stress of the pandemic. I couldn't seem to get myself motivated to drink a liter of water a day, it seemed like a chore, so I had started buying sparkling water - some with flavor some plain - to try to make hydration a little more enticing. But after a while I got tired of lugging cases of water home each week and, if I'm honest, I wasn't thrilled about the number of plastic bottles that I was going through, which didn't always get recycled. It was all starting to feel like a burden. But then I saw The Aarke II and took a chance and ordered it - suffice to say it has been a game changer.
I did the math and the Aarke has paid for itself in both time, conservation and dollars spent on packaged water already. I've found it very easy to use. The gas cartridge screws into the bottom with no effort and the bottle screws in neatly to the pump mechanism which is well sealed so there is no spray or mess. The drip tray collects any backwash through the tube, and I empty that about once a week - just pick up the machine, take it to the sink and pour it out. My first cartridge has lasted a full 90 days, and is still going, so that's at least 90 liters so far. The unit sits neatly under the overhead cabinets and has a relatively small footprint. I chose the stainless steel version (because it happened to be slightly reduced compared to the other colors at the time) which feels solid, cleans easily and looks modern and smart with everything else in the kitchen. Some have said the quality isn't good, but I don't see the issues. It's stainless steel, not chrome, so you can see it looks like an industrial machine.
For reference, I've got the 2nd generation and there is a newer model out which may have additional features. But for me, this model has performed exceptionally well, surpassing my expectations. Not only is it beautiful and functional, it has really added to my quality of life. I had owned one of the cheaper competitors originally, but it was fussy and ugly and leaked. The Aarke is solid Scandinavian design and high quality, a true simple luxury.
I've recently started to experiment with adding ginger shots which turns it into a pep cocktail. All around a great machine that is allowing me to once and for all achieve my hydration goals and check off that box on my daily planner that says "drink water." I've never been able to do that before; at least not consistently.
Now I don't even have to think about staying hydrated. I just enjoy drinking water. Definitely one of the best investments I've made all year.

I am so glad I purchased! The AArke is beautiful (as most have stated) and it really makes a statement. It feels extremely sturdy in the hand, and it doesn't take up as much space on the countertop as I had anticipated. I really love this unit! The stainless is shiny (it almost has the color of chrome) but it pairs well with our stainless in our kitchen and dining room. We have modern cabinetry and appliances, and traditional furniture, and it really fits in nicely.
What I like the most about the unit is the easy handle and the easy carbonation. I LOVE that I push down on the lever handle and it isn't a struggle. The lever is easier on my hands and my kids use it, without issue as well. On our previous unit it was hard for my youngest to see the button on top, and if you had it underneath a cabinet, it wasn't always the easiest to push down with the force that was needed. Additionally, the carbonation is amazing and the bubbles seem finer than what I had previously. I can drink this water straight, without needing flavor, but maybe that is just because I am now used to carbonated water? Anyway, GREAT carbonation in my opinion!
I would HIGHLY recommend the AArke system. The price is a little higher, but it fits in so nicely and really ups the look of an "appliance" in our kitchen. This would make an amazing gift for that person that thinks they have it all, and might just be looking to get a little healthier by drinking more water.
Setup is ridiculously easy. You just flip the machine over and put the C02 bottle inside of the hole and that's literally it. You just screw the included water bottle and then pull the lever a couple of times and you're set.
Does this machine work better than a soda stream? Probably not, what you are getting is a better form factor though. It looks really nice in person. It has a nice heft to it and it seems really solid. As far as i know there is only one moving part which is the lever, so i'm expecting this machine to not break anytime soon, but if anything happens ill update my review accordingly. One final thing is that I was surprised that the machine did not need to be plugged in
