The reviews are all over the place on this distiller, but overall they are positive, so for the price point, I decided to give it a go.Background History (skip if you want to get to the nitty gritty)I previously owned the more expensive water distiller (the one that costs over $200 -- using the intials MH from here on out), which I purchased in Dec 2016. At that point in time that distiller came with a two year warranty. I had to get a new base unit in February 2018 because a hole former at the bottom of the unit and water spilled onto the countertop. By Sept 2019 a hole formed in the new base. (Because the new base was only under a one year warranty, I was forced into the market for a new distiller). MH now has a higher grade (commercial) stainless steel base unit on the market for over $300... I contacted the company to ascertain if I could get a discount for the better grade stainless steel in light of my experience with their units...but I never heard back.So my research began.

This is Uber useful as sometimes the top suctions itself to the base making it difficult to get the top off. Another thing I like is that there's an on button and an off button.

With the MH distiller, I had to wait half hour to an hour after distilling to remove the top for cleaning. This unit never gets too hot to handle.Internal Design **Unlike MH water distiller (which has a solid smooth bottom), this water distiller has a channel around the circumference of the unit where water sits after the unit turns off. The raised portion (inner circle created by the channe
