Enagic ionizers hold a fantastic reputation within the alkaline ionized water community. Yet, as we explained in our breakdown of Kangen water and the Enagic brand, they don’t really offer any tangible benefits for their high price.
However, excluding price, there’s no doubt that many Kangen water ionizing machines have a good reputation for a reason. So, let’s take a look at how they stack up against another powerhouse brand, AlkaViva.
To compare both of these brands across all of their products isn’t overly viable as many of their models fall in different categories. Therefore, to keep the test as fair as we can, we’ll focus on one model from each brand.
Representing Enagic will be their top-performing ionizer, the infamous LeveLuk K8. AlkaViva on the other hand will be represented by the Vesta H2, a very similar model that marks the peak of their H2 technology.
