VEVOR 1.1 Gallon Water Distiller, 750W, BPA Free Container Countertop | 304 Stainless Steel Interior Stiller, Food-grade Plastic Water Tank, Button Control, 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!

I’ve been using this VEVOR water distiller for almost two weeks, and I’ve been extremely impressed. I bought it primarily to make water for my carnivorous plants and my cool mist ultrasonic humidifier, both of which benefit from very pure water, and it has exceeded my expectations. My tap water is very hard and measures around 200 ppm with a TDS meter. This distiller consistently produces water at just 2 ppm, which is outstanding and exactly what I was hoping for. I was also pleasantly surprised by how quiet it is. I expected the fan to be much louder, but it’s quieter than I anticipated and not bothersome at all. Another surprise was the speed. It distills water much faster than I expected, making it easy to keep up with watering my growing collection of carnivorous plants while also supplying distilled water for my humidifier. The included glass collection pitcher is excellent quality. It’s thick, sturdy, and feels much nicer than a plastic container. I also appreciate the stainless steel interior, which gives me confidence in the overall build quality. After nearly two weeks of regular use, I have zero complaints. It’s easy to operate, produces consistently low-TDS water, and has performed flawlessly. If you need distilled water for carnivorous plants, ultrasonic humidifiers, aquariums, or simply high-quality drinking water, this is an excellent choice. Highly recommended! I would definitely buy it again.

I didn't want to buy distilled water for my humidifiers and waste all the plastic from the bottles, and I couldn't install an RO filter system. Using distilled water in the humidifiers has solved the problem I had with excessive white dust collecting and even clogging my furnace filter. The machine is very easy to use and clean. I see a lot of bad reviews and photos. All I can say is you are using/cleaning the machine wrong. Let me explain: First of all, the safety switch is a backup, not the primary method of ending the cycle. You need to stop the machine before the safety switch trips. Set a timer and find a mark on the plastic container so you know when it's done. I go to about 1cm higher then the top textured band on the plastic container. You should leave about 1cm of water in the kettle. The safety switch is based on a temperature sensor, not a low level sensor (which would be ideal). Once the kettle is fully evaporated, the temperature will rise, and the safety will trip. This is when everything gets baked on and this is where you get problems. Don't rely on the safety to stop the machine for you. Super corroded and cracked kettles are from excessive reliance on the safety switch. You should shut if off before the safety trips. Let it cool for a few minutes before opening so you don't burn your hands with the steam that comes out. Don't open it, dump it, then add cold water. This can cause rapid contraction of the steel, which could also lead to stress fractures. Add a tiny bit of the citric acid (about 1tsp is all you need) to about 1cm worth of water, and swirl it around to mix it. I've also used CLR cleaner. Just a small splash is all it takes. Use a sponge to clean the sides and bottom. No scrubbing is needed. No green pads, and no backs of the sponge. Only the soft side of the sponge is needed. The acid cleaner does all the work. It takes less than a minute to clean this way. I've done about 30 batches so far. My photos show right after finishing a batch while it's still dirty (and with 1cm of water still in it), and after cleaning. This must be cleaned after every single batch. Do not run it again without cleaning it first! To address other issues in reviews: If you are getting holes or pitting in your kettle, that is because you are using a cleaner with bleach in it. Bleach pits stainless steel. This is well known. Never use bleach on stainless steel. Sodium hypochlorite = bleach. Check your cleaners and make sure it doesn't have this. Acid based cleaners are what you want. There are some complaints that the plastic container doesn't fit under the nozzle. This is because your nozzle isn't fully seated. You need to push it outward more. I can see from people's photos that they do not have the nozzle installed properly. The container does fit properly under the nozzle. Pull that nozzle outward until you feel it seat properly. If you use this distiller properly, and clean it properly, it works perfectly and will last you a long time.

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.

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. 👍

Great distiller. I love the auto shut off function since I run it at night because it’s a little loud. I’ve used the distiller for about nearly 8 months and it still working well. According to the water test we had performed on the house water, it reduced the TDS from over 200 to 4 (0 being pure water). Needless to say, I’m impressed with that. There is little to no hard water build up on the humidifiers we use the water in and the nugget ice tastes better than before. The distiller is a great buy if you use a lot of distilled water (also quite easy to use and clean). I’d recommend buying a larger tank like the one in the picture with a pour spout to more easily distribute the water wherever you need it.

Really works! Quiet, efficient, and a great investment for my needs!

I researched several of the distillation appliances on amazon, and this one seemed to provide the best value. Know that you will have to periodically clean this with citric acid (once a month, more or less, assuming you use this every day, and depending on how hard your water is ...) and you will also have to replace the charcoal filter packets. Also about once a month. Neither is expensive, but it takes time and effort. I have not even turned the unit on yet, and had several questions for the seller. Fortunately there are some good user videos on amazon that have the answers. For example, the small white crystals supplied in a plastic jar marked "detergent" is apparently citric acid! Also, the instructions say you need to clean with citric acid BEFORE the first use, and later in the same document, to "boil with detergent" before first use. Confusing, to say the least. What they mean is to take those white crystals and follow the instructions for cleaning with citric acid. PUT THE COVER ON WHEN YOU DO THIS! Even though the "detergent" jar says you can't use the cover when you clean it. Also, nobody says this, even in the videos, but I would NOT put the charcoal filter packet in place when I clean the unit with citric acid. Why? Because then you will leave citric acid on the charcoal, and that will be mixed with the distilled water every time you use the appliance. That's no good! Like I said, the instructions, or lack thereof, are VERY CONFUSING! Finally, there is a "plastic bottle cover" referenced in the parts list, and included in the box, which you might believe means the screw-on plastic cap, but I think actually means the separate metal nozzle that is not shown or described anywhere in the instructions or pictures. But if you look on the amazon item page, you will see it clearly, sitting on top of the collection jug. It is used to direct the distilled water into the jug during distillation. The videos, especially the one title "Quick Guide" make all of this clear. OK. Now I will go clean the unit for the first time, and then distill the water. Then I'll update my review. (by the way, I bought a simple 12 hour timer to shut the unit off BEFORE the water is all gone, as suggested by other reviewers, and thus, won't boil deposits onto the tank as it runs dry, which should make it MUCH easier to clean over time). UPDATE: I've now cleaned the unit, and used it twice. It works as expected. I use a mechanical timer I bought on amazon to shut it off after 3.5 hours, and that distills about 90% of the water when you fill it up. What's left is full of deposits, and after letting it cool off (wait at LEAST an hour!) you can take off the top and throw out the "sludge". I decided to also wipe the interior down with a very mild abrasive sponge (not steel wool, but one of those sponges that has a scrubbing surface on one side) to clean off the deposits after each use, since that should make monthly cleaning a snap. Maybe I won't even have to clean once a month, since it looks pretty good after the wipe-down. So, the bottom line is this appliance works really well. It cleans up easily. And the instructions are terrible, but you can get around that by reading this review and watching a couple of the videos on the amazon page for this item. I've asked folks in China why they have such bad instructions, and the answer I got was "we have someone in-house that does that". I've even offered to edit what they produce (not for this item, but for others), and they decline. I have no idea why, when good instructions makes an item SO MUCH easier to use! Hence four and not five stars, for bad instructions.

Es muy buen producto
