Customer Reviews for 4L Water Distiller LCD Temperature Controlled Alcohol 1 L/H Premium Countertop

I have two of these. I did have to return one but the other is still working awesomely. For hints and tips let the item steam off the top for about an hour at 108 degrees before putting the fan on, then turn down to 105 degrees for the remainder. This will give me a 0 or 1 reading on TDS.

I purchased this appliance for the first time to eliminate the need to buy bottled, distilled water. It worked perfectly. The instructions were not readable but I went to YouTube and reviewed the available videos on how to set it up and to clean the unit after use. Good purchase.

Best distiller for making quality RSO / FECO

001ppm. Came with a disgusting hard metallic taste and smell. It taste the way it smells!! I got rid of the carbon pack it was not helping absorbing that taste and smell. With much cleaning and soaking the sprout nosil and using lime and lemon running it through the pipes it helped tremendously!! With more runs & cleaning the awful taste & smell seemed to be going away. I really want to keep this thing!! At one point I felt like if it didn't get better it'd have to be returned, it was unbearable!! My tap was tasting better than this. It defeated the purpose on the tasting but it does distill very well. Ppl clean this thing thoroughly before using it (the parts that can be cleaned). That factory metal has a strong taste and smell to it.

I am giving this distiller 5-stars because it works and the temperature control is a nice feature. I do not like the carafe. It is a cheaply made product and is not very safe, with the long screws. There are no good instructions for use. The only instructions are in English but are very very tiny. I am 50 and cannot read them easily.So why am I giving this 5 stars? It is as good if not better than competing products. It can be adjusted for temperature which makes it adequate for distilling other fluids besides water.I was not able to find a replacement for my carafe which broke (partly because of a bad design and partly because I put the lid on wrong) Ultimately many of you are not wanting to distill only a single gallon of water because like me the main reason you bought this is that you are tired of buying water because you use it a lot.I have a BiPap, an aromatherapy diffuser, a pet water fountain (less algae), and so much more.So since I plan to use many vessels instead of filling other bottles from a clunky and heavy carafe I went and got a 5/16" food-safe tubing from a home brewing/distillery store nearby and put it on the metal nipple, fits tight enough that I don't need a clamp.I bought 4 ft. and it only took a little over 2. You can easily cut the tubing with kitchen shears. I am using a glass brewing jug (1 gallon). The picture shows my setup.Using tips from others:1. Put a 1/16 of a teaspoon of activated charcoal in the water to be distilled or your finished water. It is edible so doesn't matter. I found this to taste better than using the charcoal packet. Whichever you choose is up to you.2. I am experimenting with how long to brew my water to leave a wet slurry and not generate harder to remove scale. It was suggested by one person to use an appliance timer. I might do that later, but for now I use my phone's timer.3. Add 1/4 tsp (per gallon) Pink Himalayan salt to the water you intend to drink, it returns needed body minerals and makes the water taste

Super easy to use. I love that the temperature is adjustable.

We love our new distiller!

After almost 17 Months of 4L/day. Made coffee with distilled water every day. Fantastic! After almost a year did not have to clean the coffee maker. Ice still crystal clear. Dr. Bronner's liquid Castile soap is still CLEAR with no cloudy mess on the bottom. We have hard water. Now have hard scale on bottom, that flakes off periodically. became a problem after 15 months. Soaked in vinegar to remove scale. We now clean the fine powdered CaCO3 out every time.We are a 4500 feet altitude, so water boils at 95 degrees C. 95C works great. To determine your best temperature: Lower the temperature setting one degree at a time until it periodically show "--". Then raise it one degree for continuous boiling.Charcoal filter in the silver spout. Just pull it off to replace.

Not new to distillers. I generally use them up. Quality seems very good on this one. Also somewhat faster than ones owned previously. I would buy this one again

This is the 4th countertop distiller I have purchased. Previous makes and models all came with a mechanical on switch that was easily damaged. This unit has an electronic temperature control that not only eliminates the bad switch design, it also regulates the temperature so that the residue doesn't bake on the bottom once the unit runs dry. Although I've only had this unit running for a week or so, I like the way it's built and expect it to work well for years to come.All these units also suffer from the potential for water droplets to get into the power cord socket area and short out the machine. One must be very careful not to let this happen with any countertop unit. I lost 1 unit that way a year ago. Just a word to the wise.
