Amway is well known throughout the world as the top home based network marketing business. One can always enter any shopping center and easily locate an Amway noticeably set up with a fantastic display, and friendly, well trained representatives.

Amway has a very simplistic vision of being concerned for peoples well being and working towards making lives easier and healthier. They also have a heart for the environment and is highly aware of how their products affect it.

Over 600 patents have been given for Amway products with another 400 currently pending, all these products of course are environmentally friendly and safe. This is evident in their product line with items such as a water purifying system as well as air purifiers.

Amway prides itself on an entire line of beauty products such as hair care lines, body care lines which include products for sensitive and allergic skin, and they finish this area off with a complete line of mouth care. These include tooth brushes, toothpaste, mouth wash and fluoride treatment. The fantastic thing about Amway is they are also thinking about their consumer so of course, all of these items come in regular as well as travel size.

Their bug repellent products are hands down the best on the market. Not only do they have soft wonderful scents, they come in lotions or sprays and are non sticky alleviating that feeling of repelling not only the bugs but everyone else. The repellents are child friendly and very cost efficient.

The famous eSpring Water Purifier features UV light and a patented carbon-block filter which reduces more than 140 health-effect contaminants. This excellent water purifying system has earned the Water Quality Association's Gold Seal for superior consumer water treatment products. Again, a product that is affordable and environmentally conscious. Any homeowner can feel proud to have such a system in their home - whether they are environmentally friendly or not.

While Amway has been around for over 50 years and boasts of more than 3 million distributors, their products remain to be sold by word of mouth. The representatives still must pack and unpack product, cart it around and have a spare room in their home to house it all. They still must have home parties and spend their weekends at trade shows and in the local mall corridors.

I use and enjoy many of their products and am certainly a fan of Amway. So, why didn't I join the Amway team and become one of the over 3 million distributors? I enjoy my time. I do enjoy hanging out at the mall on Saturdays, but at my leisure not because I have to be there. Perhaps I am selfish, but I simply do not want to spend my evenings in strangers homes doing parties nor do I want to be on the phone taking orders, figuring out taxes, sending in order or delivering orders.

So, while I will continue to use the Amway products as well as tell others how excellent I think both their products and their company is, I won't join that sales team.
