VIVOHOME Water Distiller Countertop 1.1 Gallon/4L 304 Stainless Steel Distilled Water Machine with Smart Switch Purifier Filter for Home Officek, Champagne

This is actually my second VIVOHOME distiller (I accidentally short-circuited the first one 😅), and now I’m officially a water snob. The difference in taste and clarity is noticeable, and it gives me peace of mind knowing exactly what’s not in my water.It’s simple to use — just fill it up, start the cycle, and let it run. It does take up a good amount of counter space, so plan accordingly. Cleaning is easy, especially with the included citric acid, which removes buildup with very little effort.One heads-up: it doesn’t come with charcoal filters, so be sure to order those separately for the best results. Overall, it’s a great investment in cleaner, better-tasting water!

Serious work horse. Works great. Use this for well water, as is so mineralized, hate the taste of water. This makes everything need water for, except plants, taste great. Can drink water again.

I got tired of buying distilled water for my CPAP and room humidifier. I got tired of wasting so many plastic bottles. I looked at several distillers on Amazon and saw a lot with mixed reviews, mostly that they leaked or rusted. I saw the reviews for this one were pretty positive so I ordered it. I mean it is Amazon so if it didn’t live up to the reviews it could go back. Well, it more than lived up. The instructions were simple. It was sent in a well packed box with no damage. It was simple to install the handle on the carafe. I filled it with hot water and we were off to the races. It took about four hours to distill a gallon of water. It was crystal clear. The fan is a little noisy but not enough to interfere with listening to conversations or the television. It does heat up the room a bit but that dissipates quickly after the process is complete. It did so well that I use it for water to make coffee and to use in my electric kettle. That saves my keurig and kettle from getting hard water deposits also. The distiller does get hard water deposits but once a month I use three tablespoons of the citric acid powder, fill it with water and let it heat up, without the top distiller coil mind you, and after letting it boiled for thirty minutes the hard water deposits disappear and the main body looks brand new, with the stainless steel all shiny again. I have made about 25 gallons so far with no problems at all. I really love this distiller. I highly recommend it.

This is a good water distiller slightly let down by the carafe.Pros:- The distiller works as described! Get a good activated charcoal filter, then let it make you almost endless distilled water.- The distiller is pretty easy to clean. A little bit of cleaning vinegar can help with the mineral deposits and the burned rust spots that appear at the bottom.- The carafe is glass, so no microplastics in your distilled water!Things to be aware of:- The distiller generates a decent amount of noise, about on par with a loud bathroom vent fan. This is expected, as it uses a fan to cool the distiller steam.- The distiller generates a decent amount of heat. If it is run in a large space or with an open door, this should cause minimal problems. If you attempt to run it in a bathroom with the door closed and no ventilation fan, the bathroom will soon get as hot as a hot day outside.- The distiller can hold more water than the carafe. Use the carafe to fill the distiller instead of filling to the fill line.- The carafe is glass, so don't drop it! It'll hurt to drop it on your feet, and could crack if you abuse it.The bad:- The carafe gasket for the lid leaks. While I have re-positioned it several times, water sometimes spills out near the handle as I carry it. Since it doesn't leak near the front of the carafe where the pour spout is located, I suspect that the metal lid doesn't fit as snug against the gasket and glass as it could. To avoid this, I don't fill up the carafe as full as it could go.I use the distilled water in my CPAP and home humidifier. The humidifier can take between 1 to 4 gallons of water a day, and I'd rather not use our hard tap water in it. I have not tried drinking the distilled water or using it for nasal rinses, but I expect it'll be perfectly fine for those purposes.I reuse some of the grocery store gallon-sized bottles to keep a reserved of distilled water from the distiller, and no longer need to purchase from the grocery store. Assuming 2 gallons used per day, this distiller made back its cost within a month.Overall, this is a worthwhile purchase, especially if you find yourself going through a lot of distilled water!

The appliance worked as advertised and produced a lot of distilled water. It died today after approximately 6 months. It will trip the circuit breaker on any outlet I attempt to run it through, even when it's the only device on the circuit.

I'm very happy with this machine. I hated hauling home 1-gallon distilled water jugs from the grocery store. I use this water for my CPAP machine. I believe it makes 3 liters of distilled water in one batch. I then store the water in a one gallon jug which lasts me about 1 month.Be aware that you must clean out all of the mineral residue that accumulates in the pot after you make distilled water. Everything cleans up perfectly when you use the cleaning crystals that come with the machine. A variety of venders sell this type of cleaning solution so be aware you will need to buy more of this in the future. A++

Cannot speak more highly of this distiller, it's super easy to use and has held up to multiple uses in one day. Takes about 4 hours for 4 liters but you can start it and leave it without any concern .Cleaning is super simple and taking off water build up takes no time. Just be sure not to get outside wet otherwise you need to let it dry before you can use it again.

Works fine, louder than others. The inside of the top piece is not stainless as it is already rusted after a few months! Other similar units I’ve had in the past.
