Customer Reviews for 4L Water Distiller Stainless Steel Water Purifier Filter Glass Jar Kitch Medic

It works well and has a glass container to catch the water which I love. A little noisier than I want but works well.

The water tastes great, I don't have to worry about the chemicals in bottled water because I can just store the distilled water in glass containers everytime I open it, I can see all the gunk left behind from the tap water, I love this product

Solved the problem with too dry air. No more nosebleeds. Thank you!

Easy to set up and easy to use. It was delivered early. Great experienceDayna p

The reviews are all over the place on this distiller, but overall they are positive, so for the price point, I decided to give it a go.Background History (skip if you want to get to the nitty gritty)I previously owned the more expensive water distiller (the one that costs over $200 -- using the intials MH from here on out), which I purchased in Dec 2016. At that point in time that distiller came with a two year warranty. I had to get a new base unit in February 2018 because a hole former at the bottom of the unit and water spilled onto the countertop. By Sept 2019 a hole formed in the new base. (Because the new base was only under a one year warranty, I was forced into the market for a new distiller). MH now has a higher grade (commercial) stainless steel base unit on the market for over $300... I contacted the company to ascertain if I could get a discount for the better grade stainless steel in light of my experience with their units...but I never heard back.So my research began. I figured, if I get a good year out of a lower priced unit, then it would be worth my money. I landed on this little beautyACTUAL REVIEW :-)External Design ****The design is similar to most distillers on the market. The only difference is the motor/fan part of this unit has a handle. This is Uber useful as sometimes the top suctions itself to the base making it difficult to get the top off. Another thing I like is that there's an on button and an off button. I ordered the silver and it is hard to keep clean/smudge free - but that's cosmetic. The outside of the unit does not get super hot to the touch. With the MH distiller, I had to wait half hour to an hour after distilling to remove the top for cleaning. This unit never gets too hot to handle.Internal Design **Unlike MH water distiller (which has a solid smooth bottom), this water distiller has a channel around the circumference of the unit where water sits after the unit turns off. The raised portion (inner circle created by the channel) where the heating unit is, allows sediment that is left behind to get baked onto the surface.Taste *****I cannot tell the difference between the water from this unit and that of MH......this coming from a water snob. I love water and I can taste the difference between the different brands. In one week, I've distilled over 12 gallons of water and the consistency of taste is superb.Clean up **This is where this unit fails over the MH unit. Due to the raised portion inside the water chamber, sediment gets baked onto the surface. I put the unit through two cleaning cycles and is unable to get the baked on sediment to lift. This however, does not effect the taste of the water nor the performance of the unit. Time will tell if this cause problems in the future. The MH unit came clean every cleaning cycle. (see photo of internal sediment left behind after cleaning)Quantity of water ****MH distilles a gallon of water at a time. This distiller produces shy of a gallon.Collection Jar.I cannot

Great distiller, if you have never owned a distiller before, you have to get use to the fan blowing as a normalpart of the water distillation process. The water distills in 2 1/2-3 hours. one small problem with my distiller is ,i haveto place the glass water catch container right up next to the base of the distiller, then after about 30min just as waterdroplets start dripping into the container, i have to watch and make certain the droplets fall into the container opening,else the droplets could end up dripping on my kitchen counter top. I I love the look and quality of this distiller.

I am happy with my purchase. Works well so far. Used it every day since i received it.The first 2 time water smelled metallic which is understandable.But after that no smell was noticed from any family members.I was forced to use it because our well water is too rich in iron in a way that the filtering system failes to work.

I find it very helpful and useful, I used vinegar and water to clean it and came out great. Just remember to wash out and let drip dry on towel for a bit

Does what its supposed to do, quickly and easily. Leaves very little water behind. The glass receptacle actually pours very well despite looking like it wouldn't.There is some residue inside the still initially from the manufacturing process. I've been using bar keepers friend on 2 of these units(one with temp control) and continually distilling the same water through, to get it to a point of being extremely clean. It has taken several runs, some elbow grease and time, and the lid is somewhat tricky to clean but I have 1 that is now literally spotless and other is not far behind.They seem like really good products made from good materials and I'm very pleased with them thus far.

Great product and seller. Shipped very fast, easy communication. The seller answered all my questions and provided a nice easy to understand video about the distiller.The distiller is easy to operate, and works very fast. It takes about an hour to distill 2 gallons of water. It comes with some filters and cleaning solution. We rinse the distiller after each use and use the cleaning solution one every two weeks.
