They trade heavily on being one of the first companies to bring water ionizer technology to the wider world, several decades ago.<\/p>\n<p>Their relative longevity poses a question: is Enagic trading on past glories or do they still live up to their self-proclaimed accolade of being \u2018a pioneer and innovator in alkaline water ionization technologies\u2019? Let\u2019s find out!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Plastic Fantastic?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Kangen water ionizers have avoided upgrading to the sleeker, contemporary styling of other water ionizer companies, and stuck with \u2013 for the most part &#8211; tried-and-tested white plastic casing. Granted, this is a practical option. You can wipe it down quickly, it won\u2019t clash with most color schemes and it\u2019s functional looking, in a\u00a0<em>dated<\/em> way. No matter how good the machine is, white plastic casing isn\u2019t going to add aspirational style to anyone\u2019s kitchen.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Are 8 Plates Great?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>But looks aren\u2019t everything. How good is the performance of Kangen water ionizers? The K8 is Enagic\u2019s flagship model, its \u2018most powerful antioxidant machine &#8211; featuring 8 platinum-dipped titanium plates.\u2019 A machine with 8 plates \u2013 and solid ones at that \u2013 does not come close to being among the most powerful water ionizers on the market.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, the molecular hydrogen levels with The K8 are significantly lower than those produced by rival water ionizer machines. That lack of muscular plate-power also means that Kangen machines require chemical assistance \u2013 Sodium Hypochlorite to be specific \u2013 an added bleach and salt solution, to artificially boost the rate of electrolysis.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the lack of cutting-edge technology is carried through to the Transformer Power Supply with no adjustable\/customizable power settings.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Multi-Level Money Mountain<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There is a possible explanation for all of this in the Enagic\/Kangen business model, which follows the somewhat-tarnished <a href=\"https:\/\/www.business.com\/articles\/mlms-target-women-and-immigrants\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MLM (Multi Level Marketing)<\/a> way of doing things. A quick calculation points to an astonishing amount of money \u2013 up to $2700 \u2013 from each water ionizer sale being divided to meet up to 8 separate layers of commission. In other words, there\u2019s not much left to invest in cutting-edge technology and next-generation engineering.<\/p>\n<h3>\u00a0<\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Does Kangen Still Cut It?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing. Other water ionizer companies are producing astonishingly powerful machines, with far more advanced features, brushed-steel chic and brilliant performance, all with a <u>cheaper<\/u> price tag than Kangen.<\/p>\n<p>Enagic might well have been a trailblazer 30 years ago, but there are other water ionizer companies out there now that have been setting the industry alight for several years. There are signs that the Kangen business model and failure to keep step with competitors might finally begin to undermine and erode their reputation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your Thoughts!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Do you think Enagic\/Kangen needs to rethink and relaunch? Does buying from an MLM company put you off making a purchase, knowing that you\u2019re paying over the odds to recompense salespeople?
