Countertop Ionizers
AlkaZone BHL-4200
This is the only Alkazone ionizer that offers 2 separate filters. However, in comparing price points, there are many other units on the market with 2 internal filters and under the $2000 price range. It gets worse, the price of their filters are almost twice that of the competition. In testing the pH and OPR [...]
AlkaZone BHL-3100
With only a single internal filter offering 6 stages of filtration leads us to believe the filtration process is not very effective. The more layers in a single filter, the less effective the media will be due to the thin layer required to accommodate all 6 layers. This is something to watch out for. They [...]

Life Ionizer™ 5100
The Life Ionizer 5100 is one of the most efficient five (5) plate machine that we tested. This is in part due to the use of the advanced SMPS (switch mode) power system that replaces the old-fashioned transformer. The 2011 model has advanced electronics, large dual internal filters and large titanium plates that are double-dipped in platinum. The Life Ionizer 5100 is reasonably priced at $1997 although it has a current introductory price of $1597.
Jupiter™ Melody
The Jupiter Melody is a five (5) plate ionizer priced in the mid range of systems we tested. While it is well built, it is based on older technologies. Priced at 1598.00, the Melody seems to be priced high for a system with its limited technologies.
Life Ionizer™ 4100
The entry-level LIFE Ionizers 4100 proved to be a good basic five (5) plate system. The unit is slightly smaller than the 7 plate machines we tested. The 4100 provides a 10 pH value and average negative ORP readings. The LIFE 4100 is bargain-priced at $1497, and LIFE offers an introductory price of $1197.
Life Ionizer™ 7700
Overall the LIFE 7700 proved to be the most technologically advanced and efficient machine that we tested. We liked the fact that they offer both flat and true MESH plates as well as an optional UV disinfecting light to kill off bacteria. This machine proved to be very strong and was able to reach very high pH settings as well as consistently low ORP readings. LIFE does charge slightly more for MESH plates and the UV light, however, the machine is already reasonably priced at $1997.00 since it is sold through direct sales and not an MLM (multi level marketing).
Life Ionizer™ 9100
Overall the LIFE 9100 proved to be the most technologically advanced and efficient machine that we tested. We liked the fact that they offer both flat and true MESH plates as well as an optional UV disinfecting light to kill off bacteria. This machine proved to be very strong and was able to reach very high pH settings as well as consistently low ORP readings. LIFE does charge slightly more for MESH plates and the UV light, however, the machine is already reasonably priced at $2,597 since it is sold through direct sales and not an MLM (multi level marketing).
Enagic® LeveLuk SD 501™
The Enagic® SD 501 ranked favorably among all the machines we tested. The SD501 features a 7 plate system, which uses flat plates. Unfortunately, Enagic® does not currently offer MESH plate technology. The pricing of the SD 501 gave us sticker shock; it is priced at $3,980.00 – far higher than many comparable systems tested.
Life Ionizer™ 7600
The LIFE 7600 represents an excellent value in seven (7) plate ionization technology. As with all LIFE Ionizer systems it can be fitted with both flat and true MESH plates as well as an optional UV disinfecting light to kill off bacteria and parasite cysts. The 2010 model features titanium plates that are double-dipped in platinum. Use of the Life Acid Supplement allows the system to reach a pH level as low as 2. The LIFE Ionizers 7600 is economically priced at $2497 with an introductory price of $1997.
