I was tired of buying distilled water and decided it was time to purchase a Water Distiller. I read many reviews before I made my purchase with VEVOR. Due to reasons of an after-taste, I wanted to get the distiller with a glass pot. My order arrived sooner than expected. I washed everything very well and decided to run the machine a couple of times to make sure it was clean. On the first cycle, there was a plastic smell to the water. I washed the machine again and ran another cycle. This time I tasted the water. It again had a plastic smell and funny taste. I ran the cycle again for the 3rd time and the funny taste and smell was still there. After washing the machine again, I thought about the only thing I hadn't done...removing the charcoal water filter. I took it out and it had that plastic smell. I removed the charcoal filter and ran the cycle again. This time the water was perfect. I went out and purchased some charcoal water filters locally and the Distiller has been working wonderfully. PROS: I love the color. The distiller is very easy to use. The temperature is preset but you can change it if you want to. It isn't very heavy. It can hold 4L of water and that will take almost 4 hours to make a full pot of distilled water. After using the machine many times, I found what works best for me. Filling the tub to the full line mark inside the container, will take almost 30 minutes before distilled water begins to drip faster. What I do is fill the container to just below the full mark so it heats faster. Then I run the distiller for 3 and half hours. You don't want the tub to completely dry up...that is when scorching and lime caking in the container can happen faster. I found that by adding a little less than the mark and running for 3.5 hours leaves around 8 oz of water to throw out. The box comes with citric cleaner for the hard water build up and an extra charcoal filter. Very easy to use. CONS: The charcoal filter produced a funny, pl
