The VEVOR 1.1Gal Water Distiller, 0.3Gal/H, Distilled Water Maker Machine comes with dual timing device and clear instructions and some cleaning crystals for the regular cleaning. I found out right off the bat that the water carafe will be filled up IF you fill to the line on the distiller AND set it to 3 hours and 30 minutes two things happen. First of all, the carafe will come very close to filling AND will also nearly deplete the water in the distiller itself. The problem is that doing that will require you to use those cleaning crystals more often. Easier to just reduce the time to 3:20 or even 3:15 and leave more "left over" water when finished.The system is a bit noisy but not too bad.
