Customer Reviews for VEVOR Water Distiller, 4L Distilled Water Maker, Pure Water Distiller with Dual Temperature Displays, 750W Distilled Water Machine, Water Distillers for Home Countertop with Glass Container, Silver

I love how this is a set-it-and-forget-it operation compared to the still that I bought that needs frequent attention. We have used this heavily and it is working great.

I love this machine! I can set the boiling temperature below 100°C because I live at 5,700' elevation. It works perfectly at 98°C. That minimizes any carry-over of volatile organic compounds (VOC) into the distilled water. I have made many gallons with this unit - usually 1 gallon daily. It has an automatic shutoff, but I prefer to use a timer set for 3 hours and 15 minutes so it doesn't boil dry. That makes the mineral cleanup easier. Be sure to buy some extra powdered citric acid to dissolve the minerals after each use. I rinse the distiller, then pour a little water in the bottom with a teaspoon of citric acid and let it sit. Cleanup is easy with a bristle brush.

I use it for infusing flavors into neutral spirits!

We have used this machine at least twice a day since we got it in November. Never a problem with it. We added a timer and don't let it run all the way down so we don't have to clean it too often. If there was anything I would change, it would be to have a bigger version. We use it for drinking water and ice, and it goes fast! :)

I can't believe how much comes out of our perfect water, tap water tastes good and is nice and clear but the report of contaminants gave me the urge to clean my water and now its tasteless and clean, I just can't believe how much stuff comes out

I received today and tested it by distilling 40% vodka and it works perfect. Only Celsius is available but that's not a big deal to me. Would recommend to everyone!

Have to say that this distiller works great and saves me a lot of money. I checked the current draw multiple times and 750 W is accurate (image attached), and for me, it takes just over 3 1/2 hours to fill the 4L glass container so I’m looking at around $0.10 per gallon distilled compared to around $1.10 at the grocery. I’ve only had it for two weeks at this point, but I’ve already saved between $25-$30 just filling my humidifier. This item does need to run a few full cycles before the water comes out odorless, but that should be the same across the board for any distillation apparatus. I haven’t used any of the activated charcoal bags so far because I don’t really see a need, and if I did, I’m not sure they’d provide any real benefit anyway due to the low volume and surface area and loose packing of the charcoal. If you’re worried about VOCs in your tap water, your best bet is to distill the first few ounces into a separate container and discard - this is what distillers do to reduce/eliminate wood alcohol (low boiling VOC) from their finished product - and possibly limit the temp to just above 100C to prevent higher boiling VOCs towards the end, and then it through a filter made and marketed specifically for drinking water to reduce anything left behind. A final note about descaling: these ship with a 4 oz jar of what they call “Fruit Acid.” This is just citric acid which can typically be found for a reasonable price in the canning section of your local grocery, so there’s no need to buy it online. Distilled vinegar also works fine and will not damage the stainless steel of the heating vessel. I tested using ~1 cup of 3% distilled vinegar diluted to the maximum 1.1 gal. volume with tap water and it worked like a champ. Overall, this product is a great investment for anyone looking to keep their humidifier or perhaps automotive coolant system in top shape. A++

Well made

This winter there wasn't much distilled water on the shelves. So I found this distiller and started making my own. I use a couple of humidifiers and a vaporizer. So far I have made about 39 gallons and it works great. It takes about 4 hours to make a gallon. I can recommend this product.

I need a question answered, how often do I need to change the charcoal filter???
