This company’s machine, although not as modern looking as some of the others, uses the SMPS power system and this is a plus. Another plus for the machine is that it has an under sink adapter kit. The only drawback in this unit is that there is only one filter. Review the details and see if this unit fulfils your needs.

Average User Rating:
The KYK Genesis is a good mid-range ionizer that will give you decent pH and ORP readings. We really like the fact that they have recently upgraded the Genesis to 7 plates from 5. However, the only thing they upgraded were the number of plates and nothing else. Therefore, you are left with a machine that is a bit lacking in the power area. If they had upgraded the power from the 150 watt max currently available, this machine would possess the power to give a strong ionization and would have earned a couple more stars. The KYK Genesis has a lower price tag of $1695, however, the high filter cost quickly makes up for the immediate savings. Overall this machine should be looked at as a mid-range ionizer that could use some upgrades to move it up to the higher-end models.
