one room for a winner, so sit back, relax, and watch as we battle it out in today s Brand Wars!
If you are interested in the other soda makers that we reviewed, do check out our
soda maker review video linked below. If you want direct links to the products themselves,
all these links are also listed below too. So, without further ado, let s start the brand wars!
The first category that these soda makers will be going toe to
toe with would be their size and form factor. Size is always an important factor to consider
when looking f or a kitchen appliance such as a soda maker. There are plenty of form factors
that range from small to large. Some are ideal for small or roomy countertop spaces while some
are designed to take up a lot of space and even be the centerpiece of your kitchen. Aside from this,
it is also important to consider the shape of the soda maker since it brings out the
unit s compatibility with your kitchen d cor. The AARKE Soda Maker comes in a lightweight form
factor, with overall dimensions of 16.34 by 6.02 by 10.16 inches and a weight of 3.09 pounds.
The SodaStream Soda Maker, however, is a bit heavier than its competition. With dimensions
of 17.32 by 6 by 10.83 inches and a weight of 7.49 pounds. It is also worth mentioning
that this significant difference in size and weight will come into play in a later category.
For having a more portable and lightweight design, the AARKE Soda Maker earns the first
point in this battle. Having said that, it takes the first point and leads the battle at 1-0.
The second category that these two brands will be going toe to toe
with would be their design and durability. Some soda makers have a retro aesthetic while some
sport more of an industrial look. On another note, a few come in a single, classic design while some
are available in a variety of different colors. For this reason, it is also essential to look
for a soda maker with a design and material that you re in love with. Aside from that, the design
should also be able to withstand the wear and tear of regular everyday use. This ensures that
you get the most out of your investment. The AARKE Soda Maker is designed to be
user-friendly, elegant, and compact. It's made from stainless steel and has a copper finish
for an elegant look. If copper isn t your style, it's also available in white, sand, matte black,
black chrome, gold, and stainless steel. On the other hand, the SodaStream Soda
Maker s body is made from plastic and comes in a shiny black or white
finish to go with different kitchen styles. Although this category ultimately comes down
to preference, we would like to commend SodaStream Soda Maker s attention to detail when it comes to
its design. With that said, it takes this category and ties up the competition at one apiece.
The third category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with would be their capacity.
The capacity of your best soda maker should also be of utmost importance to you. From a single
serving to a group-sized bottle, there are many different sizes of soda makers designed to cater
to your needs. With carbonated beverages having a short life, it is also not advisable to choose a
soda maker with a larger capacity. As a general rule, we suggest choosing a soda maker with a
capacity that s just right for one sitting. The AARKE Soda Maker has a capacity of 800
milliliters, which can easily serve up to two to three people for one meal.
The SodaStream Soda Maker, on the other hand, boasts a capacity of one-and-a-half-liters. This
can serve significantly more people than its competition. As stated in an earlier category,
this can be attributed to the SodaStream Soda Maker s larger size and form factor.
Easily, this category is won by the larger machine, which is the SodaStream Soda Maker.
With its larger capacity that s almost twice its competition s, it takes another point.
The fourth category that these two brands will be going toe to toe with
would be their levels of carbonation. Levels of carbonation will determine how
healthy your soda can be. If you prefer a stronger soda, then you will need strong carbonation,
though it is not the same for all people. Having said that, we suggest choosing a soda maker that
has multiple levels of carbonation to allow for versatility. When you have a
multilevel carbonation machine, you will be in total control of your beverage because
your preference will determine what you make. The AARKE Soda Maker is manually operated and
easy to use. As a general rule, we suggest holding down the handle until you hear a burp sound. If
you re looking for more bubbles in your beverage, then repeat this step as many as two more times.
On the flip side, the SodaStream Soda Maker allows you to choose between light fizz,
medium fizz, and maximum fizz by just pressing the buttons on the machine.
What makes the AARKE Soda Maker more impressive in our book is that it allows
for more levels of carbonation by how many injections of carbon dioxide you put into a
bottle of water. With that said, it takes this category and ties the battle up at two apiece.
The fifth and final category that these two brands will be
going toe to toe with would be their ease of use. One last factor you must check before choosing
a soda maker is its ease of use. As a general rule, we suggest you find a soda maker that can
easily be operated with just a press of a button. Having said that, its hardware design should also
be fairly easy to understand. This ensures that the user experience is smooth and hassle-free.
As stated in an earlier category, the AARKE Soda Maker is fairly simple to use. All you
need to do is press down on the single lever to carbonate your bottle of water. This lever
also releases the excess carbonation for you, so you won't end up with a mess.
With the SodaStream Soda Maker, on the other hand, making your favorite carbonated beverages
has never been easier. With the touch of a button, you can select from three levels of carbonation:
low, medium, and high. Aside from that, the machine also automatically adds just the
right amount of bubbles to your beverage. Without a shadow of a doubt, the SodaStream
Soda Maker is in a league of its own when it comes to ease of use. For that reason,
we are awarding it one more point to break this heated tiebreaker round.
Finally, we have come to the end of this battle of soda makers between the AARKE
Soda Maker and the SodaStream Soda Maker. Even though it was a very tough fight,
the SodaStream Soda Maker beats the AARKE Soda Maker by a narrow margin of one point. As much
as we would like to keep going on about the wonderful features these soda makers offer,
there can only be one victor today and the SodaStream Soda Maker has already claimed
its throne as it waits for yet one more battle with another formidable opponent.
