Which Kangen Water machine should you buy?
All four Kangen machines make the same five waters, from pH 2.5 to 11.5, with plates of titanium coated with platinum. What changes is the number of plates, how much water they make, their size and their price. Here is how to choose.

Choose the K8 if…
You want our most popular home machine: eight plates, a touchscreen and audio guidance in multiple languages, in a slim body that suits most kitchen counters. It is the one most families pick.
Choose the Super 501 if…
You have a big household or a busy kitchen. It has two chambers (7 + 5 plates, 12 in all) and the highest flow in the range, so it suits large families, offices and small businesses. It is also the biggest and heaviest, so check your counter space.
Choose the SD501 DX if…
You want the classic seven-plate machine with a large LCD screen and voice guidance, at a lower price than the K8. A good fit for couples and smaller families.
Choose the JR IV if…
You live alone or want a first machine on a smaller budget. It has four plates, lower power use and a compact body, with the same five waters as the bigger models.
What actually matters when you choose
- Plates: more plates give more surface for electrolysis.
- Flow: how fast it fills a jug, which matters for bigger families.
- Space: measure your counter and the tap connection.
- Budget: all four can be paid over up to 60 months with selected banks.
