Quick answer
Choose the Sand edition for a unique, rough-textured sandy beige finish that stands out, or the Steel for a timeless, versatile stainless steel look that blends into any kitchen.
Finish and texture: the main difference
The Sand edition features a sandy beige rough-textured powder coat that gives it a distinct tactile and visual character. The Steel finish is a classic, smooth stainless steel that matches most kitchen appliances and decor.
Availability and exclusivity
The Sand is a special edition sold exclusively on aarke.com and select retailers, making it a more exclusive choice. The Steel is the standard finish, widely available and often the go-to for a clean, minimalist look.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Sand edition: Unique sandy beige rough-textured powder coat that adds a tactile, eye-catching element to your countertop. Special edition, so availability is limited. If you want a distinctive look and don't mind a textured finish, Sand is your pick.
- Steel finish: Classic, smooth stainless steel that is timeless and versatile. Easily matches other appliances and kitchen decor. Widely available. If you prefer a clean, understated look that blends in, Steel is the reliable choice.
- Both share the same core: Both models have the same seamless, minimalist stainless-steel enclosure, premium materials, overhauled internal safety valve system, and stainless steel precision nozzle for a smooth, controlled spray beam. Your decision is purely about aesthetic preference and exclusivity, not performance.
