VEVOR 1.1Gal Water Distiller, 0.4Gal/H, Distilled Water Maker Machine 1750W 0-99H Timing Dual Temp Display, 304 Stainless Steel Countertop Distiller Glass Carafe Cleaning Powder 3 Carbon Packs, Silver

I've been using this Vevor (aka Mophorn) pure water distiller for 10 months, running it at least once a day and often two or more times a day, 7 days a week. It's performed well and continues to provide a good quality distilled water (see below) with regular maintenance. Suggestions (lessons learned) 1) Do not run it dry. i.e. Do not let it run until the automatic shutoff turns it off. It takes roughly 4 hours to distill about 1 gal. of water. So, I have the unit on one of those inexpensive wall outlet timers set to shut it off after about 3 1/2 hours. This way the 'minerals & impurities' do not get "burnt on" the bottom so it's easier to clean and doesn't 'pit' the stainless steel. Personally, I disconnect the power cord from the wall timer to the unit as soon as I notice it has shut off. [Suggest you experiment with the 'time' if you have "Hard" water. You may want to shorten the time to 3 hours, producing less distilled water but 'saving' the units bottom from being as built up.] 2) After the distiller has cooled for at least 30 to 45 minutes, disconnect the plug from the upper to the lower unit, take off the condensing unit (top) with care as hot steam may still come out and hot water clinging to the unit will 'spill off' as soon as you tilt it. Set the top it aside and pour the leftover water from the distilling unit (bottom). Carefully because it will still be hot, wipe out both top and bottom with a soft cloth or paper towel. Take care when wiping off the upper unit being careful around the vent cover that the water vapor goes through to the condensing coil. Be sure to gently wipe off the soft seal on the top unit to keep it clean. Set both parts (top & bottom) on a towel or over the edge of a sink to dry being careful not to ding or damage the edges. Part of the reason for allowing the units (top & bottom) to dry at this point is to let them cool. If you are in a hurry to produce another 'batch' of distilled water, I suggest you let the unit cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before proceeding. 3) Mix a couple ounces of vinegar with a little water and using a soft cloth or paper towel, wipe off the inside of the upper and lower unit with the vinegar & water mixture. Pour the remaining mixture out and rinse with tap water then wipe the inside with a damp soft cloth or paper towel. I usually lightly rinse it again just to be safe but that's "Belt & Suspenders" thinking. Set the units aside to dry or fill to run another batch. While I agree that this is not a 'laboratory Grade' distilling device but consider it a good quality 'Home Use' distiller which should produce reduced levels of 'harmful' contaminants from tap water when properly used. Even though the unit is as loud as an evaporative humidifier when operating, I find this Vevor Tabletop Water Distiller well this worth the money, but it does require care to maintain it so it will last. My most important piece of advice is do not let it run 'dry' and clean it with a vinegar or ascorbic acid and water mix at a minimum of every other use. Addendum I noticed a few negative reviews questioning the quality of the 'distilled water' produced by this unit, so I thought I'd add some thoughts and observations for those interested. There are many considerations that impact "what kind/level of distilled water" you need for your proposed use. First, there are different levels ('kinds') of "Distilled" water. No simple, single stage, countertop distilling unit will produce 'Technical or Laboratory Grade' distilled water, especially at this price. Filtering or distilling water for 'Human Consumption' is quite different than filtering water to produce water for a marine reef aquarium or use in a laboratory. Water processed in typical water plants for 'Human Consumption', often has certain chemicals added intentionally and/or inadvertently which are considered beneficial to humans. Chemicals such as Calcium, Potassium, Molybdenum and Magnesium are required by humans to stay healthy. In many areas Fluoride is added to "promote stronger teeth" and reduce tooth decay. While small levels of lead and copper are considered safe for human consumption, even a small amount of copper in marine reef water can poison and kill a marine invertebrate ('coral') and small levels of either are usually considered unacceptable for most laboratory grade distilled water applications. [FWIW, most Technical Grade and especially ASTM Deionized water is harmful to drink or even get in your eyes.] So, if you're primary purpose is to produce drinking water or water for home humidifier, when properly used and maintained, this unit will provide a highly reduced level of a large majority of 'unhealthy contaminants' found in most USA produced 'tap water'. Personally, I produce two levels of filtered/distilled water for our home use. First, for our humidifiers, I filter our tap water through two different gravity fed filters that contain 'mixed bed ion' with activated charcoal filtration. (see attached photo) This lowers the percentage of mineral impurities and unnecessary chemicals not needed for use in a humidifier. Reduces the 'white dust', etc. you may see from using unfiltered water in a humidifier. Second, I also use the double filtered water in this distiller to produce water to add moisture to the output of an Oxygen Concentrate and CPAP. This distillation greatly reduces many secondary 'pollutants' not desired for inhalation such as chloride, sodium, nitrates and sulfates as well as helping to ensure that any microbial, fungi or viral microorganisms possibly present are killed. While some of these can be safely ingested, they can be hazardous when inhaled especially by someone with 'lung issues'. [For the 'purists', I also gravity drip, reverse flow feed the output of this distillation unit through a water quality ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer into a Nalgene container using medical grade tubing providing approximately 15 minutes UV Light contact time.] In reviews comparing results of before and after impurity levels from a Certified Laboratory, I would suggest: 1) A Certified Laboratory Test should also be performed on the store purchased 'distilled water' you're buying for a "fair" comparison to the performance of any distillation unit you are using. You may be surprised at the test results for distilled water you purchased at your local grocery store for a few dollars. You may also want to do a comparison with 'Nursery Water'. PS, be sure to include a 'Fluoride Level' test in Certified Laboratory results. 2) In looking at the water quality, before and after test results posted in some reviews, I theorize the 'after distilling' with a unit like this was possibly A) Not run as suggested 4 or 5 time (with the water produced discarded) prior to sending the produced distillate to a Certified Laboratory for testing. And very likely B) The unit tested had the "tea bag' style activated charcoal filter installed. Probably, the 'Activated Charcoal' filter had not been pre-rinsed and 'washed' properly prior to use. For many years I was a Certified Water Plant Operator and have maintained marine reefs aquariums for decades which require stringent water parameters for the health of the invertebrates. So, I ran the following tests this weekend after probably 400+ uses of this unit. I don't have the test kit/equipment to run several other tests often run for drinking water such as the various polyethylenes, vinyl chlorides, cryptosporidium, Haloacetic acids, Barium, Beryllium, Cadmium, etc. These results are the findings for my water supply. (From my tap) Water quality tests [unfiltered tap water -> After Filtering and distilling - your results may vary] > pH: 7.8 -> 7.0 > Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 286ppm -> 3 ppm > Electrical Conductivity (mmho/cm): 6.8 -> 1.3 > Salinity (ppt): 0.205 -> 0.004 > Hardness (dGH/dKH): 6/5 -> 0/0 > Carbon Dioxide (CO2, ppm): 2.7 -> 0 > Coliforms, Total (cfu/100ml): 0.01 -> 0.00 > E.

I've had this unit for almost 2 years now, so I thought I would write a review. My wife and I each have CPAP units, so we use distilled water every night in the humidifiers to keep our throat and nose from turning into the Sahara Desert. The going rate for a gallon of distilled water in the store has long been $1.49 until recently, and is now $1.69. We got sick and tired of buying gallons and gallons of containers constantly - having to deal with all the empty containers... etc. So we bought one of these to make our own distilled water. Being a data geek - I created a spreadsheet to track the number of KWH per batch of water. Our local power rate is just over 10 cents per KWH. Using a measuring unit plugged into the wall socket, I measure each usage and enter it into my spreadsheet. On average, I use just over 3 KWH per 1-gallon batch - which calculates out to around 31 cents! That is a HUGE savings per gallon! After a little more that 1 year - it ended up paying for itself! I am now at over $42 toward paying for itself a second time. That is a great ROI in my book - not to mention the complete elimination of buying tons of 1-gal containers at the store, which at times have been out of stock! The unit works perfectly, and I have had zero problems with it. It turns itself off when it's distilled almost all of the water each batch - so you don't have to keep your eye on it for fear of it melting down, or catching on fire. There is always a small level of water left at the bottom. One thing though... the plastic container provided to gather the distilled water...... is CRAP. First of all - it's PLASTIC. Second, it's too tall to fit under the spigot, and then you still have to pour its contents into some other container. Get rid of it. I found a MUCH better solution: Buy yourself some glass jugs (instead of plastic - to try and cut our ingestion of microplastics) and a length of 5/16" silicone tubing, and have it drip into the containers. Both items are on Amazon as well. See my attached photos. We settled on 2 half gallon jugs per batch. They're lighter and easier to manage than full gallon jugs. I set my phone stop watch (around 2hrs and 15 min) when I start a batch, so I know when to switch over to the 2nd bottle so I don't loose a bunch of water. But if you don't want to have to switch bottles in the middle of the batch - full gallon bottles would certainly work just as well... and not require moving the tube to a second bottle. I am very happy with this purchase, and will buy another one when this one quits.... in fact, I might buy another one soon, just so I have another one ready to go! If you are dealing with the same issues we were - you won't be sorry with this purchase. Sure, you have to make your own distilled water, but it's very easy to do. It takes around 4 hours per batch. It's almost a "set it and forget it" operation. Also - the citric acid included works GREAT to disolve mineral deposits after using a few times. I bought a larger bag after using up the one included, and use it around every 3rd batch. Simply sprinkle around a cap full into the container and fill about an inch with warm water and let sit over night. Simple as that! Good luck!

Funziona perfettamente da più di 2 anni. Molto soddisfatta

- 146€ - L'eau sort pleine de crasse ? - La carafe est remplie de calcaire ? - Une ligne d'eau s'est dessiné dans la carafe ? - Aucun contact, aucune aide - Le manuel est incompréhensible - La qualité de distillation est mauvaise - J'ai un Méga Home qui fait de l'eau super propre

This is my second VEVOR water distiller. I didn't think it was possible to be faster than my first one, but it is. My original machine made distilled water in 3 hrs. 30 minutes. The new one has chopped nearly an hour off of that time. If this "new and approved machine" lasts as long, and works as hard, and does the great job the first one did I will be one happy lady. Thank you VEVOR.

Un destilador genial para hacer destilados (alcohol) y agua. Rápido y fiable. Fácil de limpiar y cómodo. Muy buena compra . La recomiendo.

Excelente. Simplemente. Dos destilación es todos los días y ahí está. Una pega, la jarra es muy frágil y se acaba petando, tuve que comprar otra.
