I work as one of the much-maligned demo guys for Health-Tek California.We are all instructed to ALWAYS ask for the lady of the house, and NEVER for the husband.The reason: research all over has shown that the woman spends more time in the house, has a much larger say in household expenditures, and is much more concerned about air quality in the home because of children, time in the kitchen, cleaning duties, etc.It's unfortunate that so many have had unpleasant experiences with "pushy" reps, but in an organization as large as us, this is bound to happen.If you EVER get a bad feeling about a sales rep, a demo person, a surveyor, or anyone else you don't know, you have the ultimate answer: don't let them in.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING unless you need a 3200 air purification system due to serious ilness... even then, be wary.  

We bought our system for 3200 Apr. 09.  This was after 5+ hours of demonstration.  We repeated said no, and the price dropped.  What really sold us was the so called lifetime warranty.  We wetre told you'll never buy another vaccuum again. There is no lifetime warranty, unless you're preparded to spend 30+ each month for the rest of your life... or the life of the machine, whichever comes first.  Furthermore, if you decide you do not want to pay into the "Perpetual" warranty anymore, its gonna cost you another 50 bones plus tax.  Healthtek is not part of the BBB so there is no guarantee that they can help.   They also have an F rating which is the worst posible rating through the BBB.  I dare anyone to tell me different.  Furthermore, there are no regulations governing this business type in canada... so be very careful when dealing with these people. You will find it almost impossible to get your money back.  

As for the promotions gifts... we were to receive a 100 in gas voucher.   What it really was, was a voucher offering me a 25 dollar rebate for 100 dollars spent on gas within the month.    So, we saved our gas receipts and submitted them.  nothing happened.  We called, and were told that the company offering the promotion was bankrupt.  Ulitmately, we received no gas rebates.

As I said, unless you are dire need of this equipment don't even bother.

this company is exploiting the loose laws and regulations to thier explicit benefit.

OK where oh where to start first of all this company is real , second of all if thay went real thay woud not be able to hire people . and they get your number from you !!! when you willingly give it to them when you answer the question's . at your door!!! NEXT WHEN YOU WIN you win a free  entry into the company draw . and to finish when they come to show you the things they do sell the main point is to see what you think about the items not to sell it to you and for your time they give you a gift ie. bbg somthing for the kitchen or a hotel stay of your choice. YES THEY GIVE YOU THE CHOICE TO BUY THE ITEM THAT IS UP TO YOU ! ITS CALLED A JOB EVERYONE HAS ONE  and just because you dont understand it dosnt mean it is a SCAM  thank-you for your time on reading this post and i hope it gives you a better understanding of how places like healthtek or others who work in a hard market to there ad's they go to the pulbic and get your input insted of just thinking there items are perfect they like to make the public happy with there things so what better way to do it then see the pulbic in person .

healthtek is a high preasure sales company who sells filter queen, majestic and defender air filter machines. they are both high quality products and if you are looking for a one, I would recomend them... HOWEVER THEY ARE VERY HIGH PREASURE SALES... I have a filter queen I bought 12 years ago. it works great. This 90 minute informational demo with their " indoor air quallity inspector' who was nothing more than a sales person compared and insisted I buy their new high powered machine and then used my phone to call their office and have me talk to some guy who asked me and just plain out interigated me and almost intimidated me into buying (if I was an old lady I probably would have bought just to ease to high preasure sales tactics that these fast talking JERK ON THE PHONE use.) I don't need a new one, my old one works fine!

This company operates out of my business complex, and their employees are constantly violating parking bylaws.  I know this is somewhat unrelated to the phone scam angle, however it is extremly unprofessional and based on my past interactions with the staff there, I would stay as far away from this company as possible!!!

Wow, Isn't this guy professional! I sure hope that his bosses have fired him after this comment. This is a free Country full of a lot of scam artists; people have a right to be worried and maybe this company has to consider changing its marketing plans if it is indeed legitimate. NOBODY WANTS TO SUPPORT ARROGANT AND IGNORANT SALESPEOPLE.  A happy customer will tell 1 person for ever 10 people that have been told by an angry person.

Do you even wonder why this guy is watching the web for comment activity like this? He is obviously not surprised by it and even while he knows about it he is agitated. Enough said!
