This distiller it's lightweight which is nice fairly small in size. I wish the gallon jug was glass rather than just BPA free plastic but at least it is that. The distillery ran well it is a slow process which I guess it should be I ran three gallons in one day to fine. I was rescue on the bottom of the distiller which is a good thing. The directions were very minimal. I would purchase this again. I was buying distilled water and non-BPA free plastic bottles, so I feel better using this.
