Customer Reviews for VEVOR Water Distiller Purifier Pure Water Distiller Filters Water Distillation 4L Internal Stainless Steel with Collection Bottle

I've had it only a week and have made about 15 gallons at least. I bought this mainly for humidifiers and tabletop ice maker. I'm on a well and thus very hard water. My humidifiers take a beating due to the hard water. When my last humidifier broke and coincidentally found out these distilled water makers existed I decided to buy this and try it with my new humidifier. So far my humidifiers are absolutely clean, no left over minerals and so far no white dust on everything. It's pretty easy to use and makes 1 gallon every 4 hours if I use hot tap water. Takes an extra hour if I use the cold side. I rinse it between uses, but it's getting pretty close to needing to be cleaned.I will update as time goes on. I use almost 2 gallons a day on humidifiers (old leaky house). So I usually make 3 gallons a day. I'm putting it through its paces.

This works well but it is anything but quiet. I have it setup in my laundry room and have to close the door and turn on the vent fan. It is loud and creates a pretty warm humid environment. This makes sense given what it does but you should be aware of what will be happening 3-4 hours during use

We've now had this distiller for about three weeks, and used it for probably two gallons (cycles) a day average. Mostly the water is used for humidifiers, but also for the Aerogarden, etc. We do NOT use it for consumption, even in the espresso machine where we use distilled water due to scale. (We're in a very hard-water area.)It takes several hours, with a gentle fan whoosh, to produce a gallon. You can tell it's removing a lot, because a lot of crud gets left behind. It forms a white crust on the bottom, and smells funky. The distiller came with a citric acid powder that makes cleaning it really easy.I did buy the extended warranty from Amazon, based on several reviews saying their unit broke.The reason for four, rather than five, stars is that the water doesn't taste as good as commercially distilled water. My guess is there are two reasons for this.1. This distiller, which is very inexpensive, does not have a vent for VOCs. So anything that evaporates at a lower temperature than water (think benzine, alcohol, gasoline - although mostly stuff you'd find in water, those are just examples) will ALSO land in your distilled water. A more sophisticated design would separate those from the water.2. The unit knows it's done by the temperature. In other words, when it gets above boiling temperature, it shuts off. Which works, but will also evaporate anything that has a boiling point just ABOVE that of water, again sending contaminants into your water. e.g. naptha, toulene.Neither of these makes this unsafe - it's not ADDING contaminants. And, looking at the offerings on Amazon, pretty much any reasonably-priced distiller has these same flaws. But, as this is my first distiller, the taste disappointed me and I tried to figure out why. Hence the four stars.So, bottom line: It's easy to use and effective at removing a ton of crud, but it's not perfect. But you'd have to spend at least three times as much to get better.

Using it to distill tapwater. Saving slot of money not buying water at Walmart. Not lugging around 3 gallon refillable jugs. Filling the old jugs from this distiller. It makes enough to do this 3 person household. Highly recommend!

My local store doubled the price of distilled water and limited purchased to two. I run two humidifiers & use about 10 gallons a week. Tap water spews white dust over everything. Yuck. This will pay for itself. My electric bill only increased $7 a month. The small amount of water that remains is smelly, however, I’m following the advise of a reviewer on the Vevor website & turn it off a little early. Problem solved. I don’t use the charcoal packets because I’m not drinking it. I did purchase an extended warranty just in case. Highly recommend.

This made me sick to see what is in our water, I wouldn't advise drinking city water after what I found after just 10 gal. I run this 24/7 for weeks at first and it's amazing equipment 14 on 1_10 scale.

easy to set up and use. finally i can stop buying jugs of distilled water from the store.

Just purchased this distiller. Works well, takes about three hours per gallon. I got this for my carnivorous plants, which need pure water, no tap water or minerals allowed. The price point made sense because Zero water filters get VERY expensive, and I use about a gallon a day in the wintertime keeping the plants which need very wet conditions (bog plants, mostly). I also keep a couple freshwater aquariums, and use deionized water a *little* to make up for evaporation sometimes. Bog plants generally live in an acidic medium (peat), and fish like things neutral in terms of pH, so I checked. (My tap water is around 7.8)I had problems measuring pH with a pH meter, and when I used a chemical testing kit, it came out VERY acidic, around 4.5 pH (6.5 - 8.0 is a good neutral range). Maybe okay for the peat bogs, not so good for the fish. The problem with using a meter is that there are NO minerals or salts left, and really pure water is a very poor electrical conductor, so the meter had problems making an accurate reading. (A single drop of an aquarium chemical called "pH Up" in a gallon of distillate was all it took to bring it up to pH7.5 and no added mineral content - TDS=0)So, just beware that if pH is important for some reason, check to make sure you know what you end up with. I know it's a strange thing to focus on, but it took me by surprise and I needed a little research to figure out what was going on. Might save someone else the hassle.The machine works great.

It’s safe, very easy to clean, and works very efficiently.

This is so worth getting off you need distilled water. I'm very happy and it doesn't even heat the room that much and it's fairly efficient
