Keywords: Amway quality price

The real concern for consumers regarding Amway products is their quality and
performance relative to their cost. Independent testing (by Consumers Union
and others) has generally shown Amway products to be of average quality, with
well above average prices. This has also proven true for many other "home
sales" products, such as Tupperware. 

True, many happy customers swear by these products. But this is irrelevent to
the basic fact: If product quality is your main concern, you can do just as
well buying from your Safeway, Kroger, or K-Mart as from your Amway rep. And
you probably will save a lot of money.
