Kangen Water®, sold by Enagic®, uses a multi-level marketing (MLM) model that more than resembles a pyramid scheme.
Kangen water® is the brand name for alkaline water owned by Enagic Corporation. The multi-level marketing system used by Enagic® to sell its water ionizer has been called a scam because it doubles the price of the Kangen water® machine.
FTC Guidelines on Pyramid Schemes
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) says there are similarities between MLM sales and pyramid schemes
Kangen water is sold through a network of multi-level marketers (MLM). A marketing pyramid of MLM sales people get paid off every time a machine is sold. Their exorbitant compensation is the reason the Kangen water® costs twice as much as competing water ionizers. Then they add insult to injury by trying to get you to become a sales rep!
Kangen® representatives will tell you that you can sell the kangen water machine to family and friends. But do you really want to do that? How would pressuring your loved ones to buy a $4,000 machine make you feel? I know I wouldn't like it if a family member or friend pressured me to buy an overpriced machine.
Kangen Water® MLM: How the Enagic® Pyramid Works
Every time an Enagic® Kangen Water® machine is sold, as many as eight MLM distributors in the Kangen pyramid scheme collect commissions. This inflated compensation structure is why a Kangen machine often costs double the price of other alkaline water ionizers.
How MLM Compensation Adds to the Cost
Every time a Kangen machine is sold, eight sales people - the Kangen Water pyramid - get paid a commission. Their sales commission doubles the cost of the Kangen machine.
Filter Replacement Costs & Hidden Fees
Replacement filters for the Kangen® machines are expensive too, because they are also sold through the MLM scheme. The same eight people get paid every time you buy a replacement filter for your machine. It's an outrageous scam!
What is most likely to happen to you if you try to sell the Kangen® machine is that you will invest a lot of time and money into it, and end up with nothing to show for it.
Buying Manufacturer vs. MLM Pricing
Get a hydrogen, alkaline water ionizer for less than half the cost of a Kangen® Water machine from Enagic®
The best way to buy a water ionizer is direct from the manufacturer. Buying a water ionizer directly from the maker cuts out the middleman, this saves you a lot of money. When you buy direct, you get your machine from the people who made it. The benefit of this is that the people that made your machine is going to be the most knowledgeable about it.
