Hi, I happen to find this interesting discussion when I googled about Amway Atmosphere, granted I am an IBO and may be viewed as giving a bias opinion, but I do try to learn about other products to be able to further promote Amway products Fair enough , I do love Amway as a business and that is why I hope to clarify somethings here.

1) I notice how you pinpoint that Amway sugarcoat their words with the products, but then again I think ALL companies sugarcoat their products?
Also, if you have seen Atmosphere brochure http://www.amway.com/en/ResourceCenterDocu...EREBrochure.pdf they actually mention every single bacteria,viruses, allergen, fungal spores names there. Everything Amway mention is true, otherwise like all other companies, they can be sued for giving wrong information to the public (and they won't be able to turn tables since everyone have proof of what they had release to the public) So I don't think it's fair for Amway to be criticized in this way.

2) Amway is also an international company like Sharp and any other big companies. The gateway to entering Amway may be so affordable (To be an IBO it's just RM90 fee) and Amway doesn't advertise their products in mainstream media much since we are an networking business and somehow that is often misunderstand to be cheap for the general view. But the fact that Amway had been around since the 50s says something about the company's name. If Amway had been building itself using con people, then it wouldn't been able to last so long and still growing strong after such a long time. Of course, there are also IBOs that doesn't work the 'right way' , but many of us are actually making a honest living out of it and we are no difference than other businessman and salesman. Just remember that no matter what field we are in, there will be rotten apples but that doesn't make the whole field rubbish does it?

3) How does our odour filter be able to cover up 226 football fields? As many of you had mention, it may seems to you a little bullshit but there is where research and technology comes in. This is also why Atmosphere is so costly, because of our odour filter.it does not only filter odour but also other stuff like dioxin and ozone.Just like how we didn't think we'll be able to fly in the past, why does it seems so impossible to have the filter made out of REALLLLY thin sheets that when open up can be able to cover up to 226 football field? It is possible, if the company make the effort to research and make it, doesn't that make anything possible, and doesn't that proves the product quality?

4) Reviews by IBOs or our customers. They are not fake, we do have real customers and IBOs friends, we are not just machines out to make money. I don't think anyone could live like that. Yes, IBO's do buy Amway products ourselves. But we and the buyers aren't idiots,if the products doesn't work good for us or the customers, how do you think we get repeat sales and continue to be able to sell more? Amway does have many genuine IBO that sincerely think our products had help us improving.It is fine that you think if Amway products are not suitable for you, it is true that we all have our favourite brands, but to just criticize any products in the market when you didn't use it yet, it's just unfair for everyone.

5) 99.9% as mentioned, may not sounds too much difference from 99.7% , nor is 0.009 from 0.01. Yes it's not much difference when we look at it this way. Afterall it's only 1-2 numbers difference. But why don't the other brands put theirs 99.9% then? Because it DOES make a difference, it is small when seen in numbers, but because air filters are dealing with stuff so small we couldn't even see with our specs on the numbers become very big when put into action. Again, if Amway and Atmosphere is not giving true statements, they can be sued. Easy as that.

6) Made in China, i'm saying in general almost everything is made in China nowadays , and don't we all know there are different grades of quality when products are made? Today, something can be made in the States with the worst grade, the same something can be made in China with the best grade and quality. If you notice, many big brands products are all labelled with Made In China, does that stop you from buying them? I don't think so, so lets not be bias just because the Amway you know isn't the Amway I understand. Do you know that Atmosphere is certified in many areas and mostly from U.S? One example,in 2008 Amway's Atmosphere Air Purifier became the first air cleaner certified Asthma and Allergy Friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. Amway do have their own hq and research building in China for some of the products, but that doesn't means that they are doing it cheaply.

7) Perhaps you have come across some IBOs or Amway sales representatives that isn't likable or are rude and may have cheat on you, but it's the same as when you buy other brand products, the salesman is rude,some shops hike up prices more than the others and what not. That doesn't affect the brand because they are sold in stores,do you know that Amway actually restrict IBOs from hiking up price than the stated price and that we are not allowed to sell directly from web? But why do people view Amway badly when they have just an ugly experience from ONE salesman? Is it just because we don't have a storefront to show you? Please do open up your mind and look at Amway with a neutral opinion, and see how Amway got started and how we came to be so widely known today. I don't hope that everyone loves Amway, i'm just saying that like how you don't bash other brands, don't bash Amway unless you really know what Amway is about.

8) Buy from a person that you can trust. Yes, I'll be honest with you that although Amway is a good business, that there will be some rotten apples, if you come across one of these, just step back and look away. Buy Amway products from your friend or a salesperson that is trustable . If you don't like me, how can I force you to buy something right? We are not dumb, no one can force us into buying stuff. Know that you can say no even if the salesperson force their way into you. It is just about being strong about what you want and not want.
