Customer Reviews for VEVOR Short Path Distillation Kit 2000ml Distillation Apparatus with Cold Trap and Heating Mantle Max. 380℃ Borosilicate Glass Lab Glassware Lab Distillation Glassware Apparatus with Adjustable Height

This was the best learning experience for me everything came without a break a crack nothing love this item

I got several uses out of this and it was fun to extract essential oils with. I was misusing it by using an addition funnel to make chlorine gas rather than steam one day and 2 of the pieces exploded, however this was a user error. I've received sturdier glassware from Amazon vendors before.

Had a broken boiling flask they made it right and shipped a new one, was a process especially because I contacted the manufacturer don't contact the manufacturer direct.They made it right through Amazon and I greatly appreciate it!

Glassware is excellent and in great condition. Unfortunately as the other reviews suggest the heat plate isn't too hot. I did buy this product knowing this and prepared for it accordingly. (I'm using my electric stove, lol). It took around 45min to actually start boiling but never got to a rolling boil like is needed for certain projects. I would get a few bubbles but not much.Common sense ain't always common so MAKE SURE HOT PLATE IS ON METAL!!!!

So far everything seems to be working, I did attempt to take other people’s advice and upgrade the hot plate, but the one I got won’t work unless it’s senses something on it, and it would not turn of with this setup. If I hav any problems with what I’m doing I’ll update this review. I did receive broken glass when it arrived, I took pictures and talked to the seller and they where replaced that week. Glass does come with some kind of Residue in it.

As shown

There are a few things I would change but the actual functions of what it's supposed to do work fine, I suggest a nicer hotplate and maybe a sturdier mount other than that no issues

I am completely satisfied with the Vevor 2L essential oil distillery that I received through Amazon. The kit was well packaged and arrived with no damage. The pieces seem to be of very good quality and contrary to other reviews, the hot plate was able to bring the water to a boil. I felt like it is well worth the money.

everything is there except the wall socket!
