Customer Reviews for VEVOR Water Distiller, 1.1 Gal Distilled Water Maker, 4L Pure Water Distiller w/Dual Temperature Display, 750W Countertop Water Distiller, Distilled Water Machine for Home w/Plastic Container White

I purchased one of these water distillers so I could generate distilled water for a humidifier used in a grow tent environment. The unit I received works as advertised and produces about a liter per hour. It appears well built and was packed and shipped without incident. However, after about six days of use, the bottom of the vessel developed rust looking spots, which was unexpected, given that the inside container is supposed to be made with stainless steel. I use filtered water as the source, as it cuts down on any minerals that might be in your tap water that gets deposited as residue after the container is empty. In my case without a filter, our city water supply is hard water and has high pH levels. After the water is distillated, I checked with a PPM meter and the value is zero and it has neutral pH, which is what I would expect.Due to the rust spots, I contacted customer support and they were very understanding and very helpful and replaced the unit with a new device. I've been using the replacement unit for more than a week and do not have the same issues with rust spots appearing on the bottom of the container, so I assume the first unit might have had a manufacturing defect.Given the good customer support, I’ve rated the device with four stars.

Had this a few weeks now, probably made close to 15 gallons so far. At $1.75 a gallon in the store, this is close to paying half its cost. Have not used the powder it came with to clean it. Just rinse and scrub out the mineral sludge each time and what is left, a small splash of vinegar cleans it up in short order. If you need a steady, economical source of distilled water, this is it.

As you can see in the photo above the results of using this unit to distill my 134ppm tap water are 5ppm water. Using the default settings and just turning the unit on I get about 1 gal every couple of hours. As others have noted, this unit is not the most elegant looking, nor the simplest to use - but for the price it's hard to beat.I don't understand the really dumb method of filling the external container with it's separate stainless - hell, I don't even know what to call it: it's not a cap, it's not a funnel... it's just a loose piece that sits atop the plastic catch container and sort of slides against the output hose. Weird. It would be so much more convenient to use food-grade flexible tubing.The unit comes with 4 charcoal filter bags - but there's no mention in the manual of what to do with them. Speaking of the manual, there's not much to speak of. It lacks illustration where there should be illustration and lacks guidance where there should be guidance.I bought this unit to provide the distilled water required for use in my humidifiers, not for potable water. Works fine and produces enough in a timely manner for my purposes.

Great product great price

Great way to get distilled water for CPAP machine and plants.

I live in an apt. w/ 4 steam radiators, so adding humidity is a must. My cool-mist humidifier runs 24 hours a day in the winter. When I use tap water in the humidifier, the white mineral dust builds up on every plastic surface in the apt. in a matter of a week. So, I bought this distiller, figuring the season is longer than 6 weeks, which is how long it might take for the machine to pay for itself over buying gallons of distilled water (bonus: not buying 60 plastic gallon jugs). I fell in love with this machine after one use! No more calcification building up on the humidifier. No more white dust. Visibly clear water in the plastic jug. A cycle completed w/in a few hours.Even so, thank goodness for youtube, because the instructions are so badly translated as to be useless. It is "noisy," and a bother to unplug (twice!) to rinse out and fill, but I absolutely do not mind either of those drawbacks for the overall simplicity of the process and the quality-of-life upgrade the machine provides.

Works great

I bought this thing for about $50 and I can already say it paid for itself. It does what it's supposed to do, make distilled water. I checked the water quality and ppm came back 0 or 1 every time. I see these other machines selling for hundreds more and I don't know why you would need to spend that much money when something cheaper can do the same thing. It's also not as loud or hot as people say it is. It's louder when I try to make my own distilled water with a pot and lid only to get a cup of water in 3 hrs. If you're looking for a water distiller, look no further.

Easy to set up and use. Not a fast output, but steady. Takes a few hours to make approximately 1 gallon.

This was so easy to set up and use. I use it almost every day. I got the one with the plastic carafe because it was like $20 cheaper and I just use my tea kettle to catch the water that comes out because it is hot and plastic is toxic. For only 60 bucks I think everybody needs one in case of emergency were you don’t have clean drinking water.
