The following is a comprehensive Bawell Platinum water ionizer review, aka, Bawell Platinum model 2195.
If you’re in the market for a cutting-edge product that won’t break the bank, the Bawell Platinum is a feature-packed ionizer that is surely in the conversation for the best water ionizers on the market today.
By the end of our review, you’ll have a deep understanding of the pros & cons of buying the Bawell Platinum for your home.
Important questions to consider before purchasing a water ionizer are:
Is the machine an under-sink unit or a countertop-only unit?
What are people saying about the flavor of alkaline water?
Are current users having problems with the machine or filters wearing out too quickly?
The last problem you want to face is a faulty unit that requires around-the-clock maintenance.
Overview
The Bawell 2195 is essentially a premium water ionizer without the big price tag to go along with it since ionizers can cost over four thousand bucks.
The Bawell comes wrapped in a beautiful case that won’t make your guests think a spaceship just landed in your home. Below, I go over each key feature in a brief list, so you don’t have to waste your time sifting through any unnecessary jargon.
- Perhaps the most savory feature of the Bawell platinum alkaline water is the 60-Day 100% Money-Back Guarantee with a Forever Lifetime Warranty. A lot of budget units on the market do not offer this peace of mind and loyalty to you the customer.
- The Bawell 2195 sports an attractive LCD control panel that makes using the unit a breeze.
- The Platinum model goes the extra mile with 7 Solid Medical-Grade Titanium Platinum Coated Plates that total 144 square inches of electrode surface area.
- The unit features a state-of-the-art dual internal filtration system with the option to expand the unit to 3-stage filtration.
- The ionizer’s universal faucet adaptor fits mostly all “pull-out” and “sprayer” style sink fixtures, which means it can be installed almost anywhere in your home, including the bathroom.
- Plastic components of the water machine are both BPA-free and FDA-Approved
- The unit has an automatic cleaning system built right in that clicks on when it starts up and shuts down
- There is an option for voice alerts. However, if the Bawell Platinum becomes too talkative for you, simply turn down the volume or turn it off completely.
- 35 different water presets, ranging from “Ultra Strong Alkaline” all the way down to “Strong Acidic”
- Countertop Only
- Flow Rate: 2 GPM
- ORP Range: +600.00 mV to -800.00 mV
- pH Range: 3.0 to 11.5 (option to increase to 2.0 to 12.0)
- Dimensions: 11.8″ Length x 6.2″ Width x 15.2″ Height
Installation
Installation of the Bawell is easy-peasy for most.
It’s important to remember that since the 2195 is a countertop alkaline water machine, you should ensure you have enough space for it on your counter.
The Bawell can be connected to the faucet head or directly to your home’s water line.
If you would rather let the experts do the job, Amazon offers an expert installation package that includes:
- Hooking the unit up to your home’s existing plumbing
- Testing the unit to make sure everything is running smoothly
- Cleaning up all debris and waste once the job is done

Bottom Line

There are no additional costs besides the annual filter replacement. Overall, this machine is a winner, though, we prefer Air Water Life models when entering the budget realm of the water ionizer spectrum.
