For 85 bucks I really have no complaints. A few modifications and it’s really a fantastic little still. Obviously you don’t want your condenser sitting on the hot lid so a simple swivel and a stick took care of that. The only other negative is the thermometer that’s comes with. First off it reads to 400 degrees. Steam only gets to 212 at sea level. 400 is much too large a range to take accurate readings. Also the thermometer threads rusted after one use. So I chucked it and replaced with a 220 degrees stainless version
