VEVOR Water Distiller, 1.1 Gal Distilled Water Machine, 750W Pure Water Distilling w/BPA Free Plastic Container, Water Distillation Kit w/Button, Countertop Distilled Water Maker for Home, White

This is actually the 2nd VEVOR distiller I am purchasing. I purchased my first one almost 2 years ago and it is still working like a champ even after I accidentally dropped it and the bottom plastic cracked on it. I use this to distill my water because I do everything possible to get my water to be H2O and nothing else. Distillation, for me, is a key step in this process. Setup is a breeze there's not much to it really just the reservoir, the lid, and the 1 gallon jug the distilled water goes into. There is this metal spout that you're supposed to put on top of the water jug, however, I highly advise against using that. I had it happen where the spout from the lid and the metal piece on top of the jug were not aligned properly and it resulted in water leaking everywhere. I tossed that metal piece into a drawer and just make sure the spout is aimed correctly so the water will drip into the jug. The jug has a really big hole so it's not terribly difficult to set it up without the metal guide piece. If you're going to use this in your house I would suggest putting in a room that is as far away from where you wish to be as possible because this thing will generate a lot of heat for the around 4 hours it takes to distill a gallon of water. My suggestion is set it up in a garage or something like that. Although a lot of stuff gets removed from distillation there is always some stuff that gets into the finished product as some contaminants have the same or even a lower boiling point than water does, so I suggest using some kind of filter afterward. I use a Zero Water filter for this. It does come with some cheap charcoal filter packs that you're supposed to install in the metal spout of the lid, but those don't seem to do much. I've noticed that without using the zero water there's a certain smell and taste to the water that isn't awful, but it's just odd and if I use the zero water that is removed. Sometimes I'll even filter the water before distilling it and then again after just to help keep the distiller clean. This brings me to the next thing, cleaning out all the gunk left behind. They give you a little bit of cleaning powder which is actually just citric acid. I got 2lbs for about $15 on here and it lasts me about a year. Could last much longer if you don't distill a gallon or two a day like I do. To clean this things you put the water a little higher than you see stuck on gunk and then just add in a tablespoon at a time while boiling the water with the lid off. Wait 20 mins if there's still a lot of stuck on gunk add another tablespoon and wait another 20 mins until you can see it's all clean. That's really it, this thing is very easy to use and like I said I've had one for over 2 years now so from what I can tell VEVOR makes a quality product and everywhere else I've looked for a distiller usually tries to charge $100+ for a basically identical device. Do not let the cheap price scare you away this thing is quality and will get the job done reliably for the foreseeable future!

Es muy buen producto

Yeah, it's kinda priced competitively and some brand I'm not familiar with, but it seems to work well, as the other reviews suggest. I bought this based on the reviews and was not disappointed. The fan on top is a bit noisy, but it's fan noise and only lasts about 3½hrs, so I don't have any trouble sleeping while I hear it running in the kitchen. I use this for our humidifier in the few weeks of winter in Texas when the outside air is extra dry after being heated to room temperature inside the house. I assume the distiller is successfully removing all of the minerals and sediment from the water because we have no problem with deposits from the humidifier running in our bedroom. I'm tempted to drink it when I no longer need to use it for the humidifier. When I've tasted it, it tasted a little sterile, but not bad. And, if you're the kind of person who likes to sniff the potty before you flush, your gonna want to give the main unit after it finished running - if I was inclined to drink Texas tap water, before, this probably would have cured me of that desire. Maintenance has been a breeze. I pretty much abuse this thing. I would run it until it automatically shuts off when I go to bed and when I leave for work. Sure, the sediment sticks to the stainless steel tank, but no matter how many cycles I've run through it, letting water boil with the included citric acid is sooo easy and it cleans the tank right up. I've wiped it down with a paper towel between cycles before I refill the tank, but I'm not sure it makes any difference and may be hurting the tank for all I know (I don't see any indication of damage). Word to the wise: as the instructions suggest, don't taste the water that may come out while boiling the citric acid in the water - it's nasty and the acid might still be in the water because it kinda hurt my throat a little. 🤣 I use a cup under the spout to catch the cleaning water because I didn't want to contaminate the water pitcher. But, you don't have to run the whole tank through the system - just get the water to a boil (you'll know when it starts to come out). I've not had any issues with the seal - it works like a champ. The prepper tendencies in me like the idea of being able to clean up the clean up the tap water pretty well. It's already pretty satisfying to see the stinky stuff leftover after the unit shuts off. I'd recommend this to sometime I care for. 👍

Easy to use, and appears well built. As other reviewers have pointed out, adding a timer is a good idea in order to reduce stress on the thermostatic switch, and on the heater itself. Nominal power usage is 750 watts at 120 volts as specified, but 1.1 gallon (4.16 liter) capacity is about 11% more than the supplied 3750 ml receiver bottle can hold. It can process 1 liter/hour, but only when filled with already boiling water. Over 336 batches to date mine is averaging 3.62 liters and 3.028 kWh per batch, 757 Wh/hr, and 0.926 liters/hour when filled with 125°F tap water. My well water is only moderately hard (about 85 ppm TDS), and clean-up isn't much of a chore so long as the timer completes before the pot runs dry triggering the thermostatic switch. My practice is to fill it with 4.0 liters (level is at the top of the 'F' at in "Full" mark) and set the timer to fully fill the 3.75L capacity jug. Typically, 200 to 300 ml of highly mineralized water remains in the pot at time out with only marginal amounts of hardened build-up on the bottom. My practice is to then drain the pot, give is a quick rinse and wipe, and refill for the next batch. When enough hardened mineral builds up (after about every fifth batch) it is due for citric acid cleaning. I've learned that by adding about 1/2 inch of water to the pot, sprinkling a tablespoon of citric acid directly onto the mineralized area, powering the distiller base, and operating it for about 3 minutes while scraping the deposits with a silicone rubber spatula that the hardened mineral essentially disappears. I then turn off the power, fill it to the top with hot tap water so the small amount of mineral deposition elsewhere in the pot goes into solution, and after 30 minutes to an hour dump it, rinse, and wipe down the surfaces. Line voltage varies over time, and since electrical power (hence, water heating) varies as voltage squared, it'll be necessary to tweak timer set point to suit. In my case, 240 minutes when voltage is running close to the 120V nominal, or 235 minutes when on the high side. Place a Pyrex pan or similar container under the jug to capture any spillage. It *is* possible to safely open the distiller without waiting for it to cool, but it's still a tricky business. Rather than pull the condenser coil/fan head straight up and off, lift it until it just clears the sealing lip, then open it in a "clam shell" fashion with the hinge point toward you, and opening away from you. Wait a minute for the steam to dissipate, then carefully finish removing the head.

One star off for the terrible instructions. I bought this Vevor water distiller to purify water for use in my Vevor humidifier and sinus and face steamer. I went to YouTube for better guidance on correctly setting up and running the Vevor Water Distiller because the instructions that came with the unit are very poorly worded. The packaging was great. It was padded very well and arrived in perfect condition with a small plastic bottle of citric acid that is used for the first “curing” process before actually using the distiller, the electric cable, and 3 additional carbon filters (one was already installed in the outlet nozzle). Following the YouTube video (after re-reading the instructions a few times), I stirred 2 tablespoons of the citric acid in 1 liter of tap water, stirring it so it was completely dissolved (based on one other person’s tip) and poured it into the main body, mounted the top body, and plugged everything in properly making sure the top body was securely settled. Placed the bottle with the other part of the outlet under what I’ll call the spigot and turned on the distiller. It took a little over 10 minutes for it to begin producing drops and I let it continue for about 30 minutes. After letting the machine cool for 20 minutes, I discarded the boiled citric acid water, rinsed the bottle, the INSIDE of the main body with clean water and wiped dry the top body with clean paper towels. Now I’m running it for a full bottle (4 liters) of pure distilled water. It took 37 minutes to begin producing the first drops of fresh water so be patient. The design is perfect for my very small kitchen counter space. The noise level is very low, barely noticeable to me. I cannot speak about the taste yet as it is still processing the water. But of course it’s going to be flatter than regular tap water so I’ll be adding healthy electrolytes for improved taste AND because of my health requirements. Do your research on the health benefits of distilled water and why you may or may not need to replace the minerals removed by the distillation process. The machine seems durable and solid. It’s plastic and stainless steel. BE WARNED: The outer body does get hot! Do not allow pets or children near the machine while it’s running or for at least 10 to 20 minutes AFTER use to prevent burns and/or scalding. I will update after I’ve tasted the water. ~~~~~~~~~~ UPDATE: December 20, 2025 - I’ve used the VEVOR Water Distiller several times since I received it and am very happy with its performance and quality. I didn’t expect so much mineral residue to be in our building’s water and was actually horrified to see what remained in the unit! To think me and my cat are ingesting this! When I get a chance I’m going to take pictures of it to show building management and maintenance. Maybe there’s a way they can economically upgrade the main water system to at least reduce what we’re getting. (Makes me wonder if any of that is carcinogenic.) WATER TASTE: Some others related that the water tastes flat after being distilled. Maybe that’s due to the type of water they’re being supplied where they live. I find that, though it’s not *as* refreshing as alkalinized water, mine (chilled) is actually nice. However, my primary use is for my VEVOR humidifier to further better maintain the evaporative filters I use in it - trying to minimize scale buildup they get from the plain tap water. [A NOTE: The tap water I’m using is filtered with a Brita Water Filter faucet system PRIOR to being distilled in the Vevor Water Distiller. No judgement whatsoever against Brita. Our water here is just that bad where certain things cannot be filtered out by that method.] After distilling water and allowing the unit to cool down for about 15, it must be run again for 30 minutes using the citric acid dissolved in one liter of hot water. This cleans all the residue left behind and protects the stainless steel surfaces. Once that’s finished you simply rinse the inside of the unit with fresh water and wipe the top and bottom bodies dry with a soft cloth. SUGGESTION: Don’t let the unit run fully dry. I let mine run 3 hours and 10 minutes (after it begins dripping water into the bottle that came with it) to leave some water in the unit. I find doing that prevents the boiled out residue from sticking to the surface and allows the citric acid to clean better. I love this distiller and will definitely be using it every day.
