Customer Reviews for 500ML Distillation Apparatus Lab Glassware Kit w/ Condenser Pure Water Oil Steam

This is a killer deal. The components are all top notch and the price is great. We have LOTS of fragrant flowers and herbs in our yard, so this will surely get a good workout. So far have just done roses. The only down sides are that there are no instructions of any kind. Not so much about the distilling, but I mean nothing to even show that parts are supposed to be in the kit and how they are intended to go together. Also, you'll need to buy a fountain pump to circulate the cooling water and plan to have a lot of ice handy. You'll need to keep the water really cold to keep the condenser working well. But overall, a great set.

I ordered this kit and it arrived well packaged but after opening realized that the Graham condenser was broken. The customer service representative who took care of me well more than made up for my inconvenience and I won't buy glassware anywhere but here from now on.

Product arrived on time, no damage. Upon use the product worked as expected. I am overall satasified with my purchase - Bruce Jones

Not a scratch. Mint.

This is a great entry-level distillation kit for extracting oils and such for candle making. The alcohol lamp works better than a cheap hotplate/stirrer I also bought. I would recommend also buying some clamps to hold the apparatus together better and make a better seal, but for the money this is a great buy.

Considering all the pieces of laboratory glassware included this is a good value. Unlike some reviews I had no problem with packaging, it was well packed. There was damage to one item, the Graham condenser, the coiled condensation tube within the enclosed cooling jacket was broken making it unusable, considering that this is a very fragile apparatus the damage is not surprising, the seller immediately offered a 35 dollar refund which I feel is fair compensation considering the entire kit was only 150 dollars and the other two included condensers were in good condition. If you have mission critical laboratory work to do you might want to look toward an American company for a higher level of quality control, but expect to pay a lot more. For the armchair experimenter/tinkerer /hobbyist this is good choice.

Even though no written instructions come with the kit it is very customizable and can easily be adjusted to any laboratory needs it is long-standing choice.

I bought this knowing how to use it and was a little surprised it didn't come with instructions for people who wouldn't know how to use it properly.

Works great, very sturdy, many useful parts and holders.
