Customer Reviews for VEVOR Essential Oil Distillation Kit, 500ml Distillation Apparatus, 3.3 Boro Lab Glassware Distillation Kit with 1000W Heating Plate and 24, 40 Joint, 33 pcs Set

Not only is it poorly made and not work you have the added pleasure of a customer service nightmare. I've been trying to return this for 2 days and they told me I wasn't using it right. I've been distilling for 20 years I know how to use a still. The simple facts here are: 1. The hot plate is useless. They told me it gets to 550 on high. It simply cannot and does not do that. It turns itself off and on every few seconds. It's flat out maddening. 2. The quality of the glass is sub par. I had a small burst bubble on the surface of a piece and I tried to get a replacement. They told me no. 3. The condenser coil tube is way to thin and will not allow air and liquid to pass through at the same time. This creates a vacuum and nothing gets out. Simply put this is useless and if you buy it they will probably not honor the 30 day refund. I used to think vevor was a good brand. Turns out they just slap their sticker on stuff you can find on other sites for way cheaper.

Great value at modest cost. This complete system allowed me to begin experimental botanical vapor infusions immediately. Packaging is flawless, no damage to any component from thermometer to condensor. An excellent product.

No complaints, it's a good product with everything you need to get started. However, I do recommend switching the heat plate for a better quality one. But other than that, this was an ideal kit for me.

the distillery is nicer than expected. the hot plate is to large for the two neck flat bottom flask, and turns off and on all the time not boiling the water. i will be getting a smaller one from ????

I am really happy with the quality and price plus I like that the package for freighting was strong and secure and the delivery time was excellent.

The order was shipped really fast and packaged well everything was in perfect condition. It came with easy to understand instruction for assembly. This is a good quality product thank you

I've made dozens of batches of essential oil (mostly oregano, but also thyme, sage and others, depending on what is doing well in my garden) using this set and it works very well. The quality of the oil I'm able to distill is fantastic. I will try making rosewater and other floral waters/hydrosols when those plants are in season. The quality of the glass is very good. The size is perfect for small-batch distillation. This would be ideal for a school lab to demonstrate the scientific principles of distillation. The kit is not fully complete, you will need to provide a few additional things to get started. You will need a water pump and an external water tank (fountain pump in a 5gal bucket works fine). You will need a way to elevate the hotplate about 10cm. A lab jack is ideal, but a few bricks works fine as well. The included tubing is short, you might need longer tubing if your cold-water source is not close. My only complaint: The included 1000w hot plate does not get hot enough for many kinds of plants. I use a 1500w for most of my oils. I repurposed the 1000w plate to be used with a soxhlet extractor which only requires about 1000w.

Great quality. Very sturdy.... Instructions aren't so good but overall very nice. Havnt used yet but can't wait to try it out
