One of the most common questions we're asked is about the Enagic SD501. Most shoppers seem to love it on paper right up until they reach the price tag. While everyone is interested in purchasing the product, they want the product - not the MLM opportunity. Unfortunately, our hands are tied on the pricing on this machine. The company builds the MLM program into their pricing and we are unable to work around that. A comparable product that we offer and have researched would be the KYK Harmony. This machine also has flat plates and higher wattage than other machines (2 key selling points on Enagic's SD501). Here are the main differences between the SD501 and the KYK Harmony: Where the KYK Harmony has 5 flat plates with 135 inches of surface area, the SD501 has 7 flat plates with 245 inches of surface area. The next most important thing to consider is the power. The KYK Harmony is a 200 watt machine and the SD501 is a 230 watt machine. Not much difference there. However, the KYK Harmony operates with a Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS)which allows the machine to operate more efficiently - using less power, no risk of overheating, and the SMPS is designed to run the machine at optimal levels - this is from our electrolysis expert. The water output of the two machines in liters per minute are 3 liters per minute for the KYK Harmony and 7 liters per minute for the SD501. Finally, the pricing structure - The SD501 cost is $3,980 where the KYK Harmony is $1,199. The most expensive component of any water ionizer is going to be the plates because of the cost of the platinum and titanium used. With the SD501's 2 additional plates and 110 extra inches of total plate surface area, we can easily say that a good bit of the price difference is in materials. How much of that pricing is related to MLM-build-in is anybody's guess. The SD501 is definitely a superior product with regard to its ability to produce more ionized water in a shorter period of time, however we do prefer the KYK Harmony's SMPS, and while water flow rates are lower with the KYK Harmony, the machine's ability to produce quality ionized water should be about the same because of it's SMPS power system. And this product will cost you $2,781 less. |
