VEVOR Water Distiller, 4L /1.1 Gallon Pure Water Distilled for Home Table Countertop, 750W Distilling Maker with Glass Carafe, Stainless Steel Interior Drinking Machine to Make Clean Waters, Grey

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 bought the Vevor water distiller to make water for my humidifier. I was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to set up and use, though the directions are a somewhat badly translated English. It comes with a container of citric acid for cleaning and a couple of charcoal filters, with an option to buy more on Amazon. The 1 gallon water capacity makes in easy to handle and fill, and in 5 easy steps you are distilling - fill with tap water, place on the lid, plug in, align the glass collection carafe, press start. You can hear the motor for sure, but it is no louder than other kitchen appliances. The distiller boils the water to steam and dispenses the distilled water into the glass collection carafe. The run time is 3 hours 30 minutes to produce approx. 1 gallon from tap to distilled. The machine has an auto shut off to avoid running out of water and burning the base. So far, the distiller appears durable and nicer quality than I expected, and the product water tastes clean and clear.

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. 👍

Works GREAT. I feel like I am now drinking purely clean water (with minerals being added back in again of course) It takes about 3 hours to finish filtering. I use the water for my humidifier and for my CPAP machine. The directions were poorly written, but easy to figure out in the end. I am able to make about three to four gallons a day, but usually only need about one. Noise level is like a small fan. It gets really hot but there is no humidity coming from it so I am able to keep it under my cabinets while it's running. I tested it with my thermometer and hygrometer and the area under the cabinet gets to be about 110 degrees F and only 9% humidity so I feel like it is safe to have under there. My ONLY gripe with it is that I hate the logo and their slogan with their website right on the FRONT of the machine. Other than that it works great, if I don't look at the logo and just look at it as a whole then it looks great too!

I would strongly suggest cleaning it if you have hard water every 2 weeks if you use this every day. It scales FAST. It comes with cleaner as well. I use distilled water, due to the hardness of Vegas water, for my plants and humidifiers, and it gets expensive when you have to keep buying it by the liters. Easy to use, easy to clean, and works quickly and well. You can hear it running but it isn't overly loud. Works to fill in about an hour. Has automatic shut off, as well, which is great. Would definitely recommend.

VEVOR YMK60208 Stainless Steel The unit arrived nicely packed although, the stainless steel cladding has a couple small/sharp dents/dings on the upper rear portion. Nothing that should affect the performance or usability of the distiller. It works as advertised and is very easy to use. The "Auto-Off" feature works well, as it turns off automatically before the tank is completely dry, leaving perhaps a little less than 1/2 inch of water at the bottom. This prevents scorching and burning of the leftover minerals from the water. This is a feature I like very much. It also came with an "activated charcoal & nozzle assembly" so you can filter the finished distilled water through the charcoal filter prior to it going into your catch container. I don't bother with it. Came with 4 charcoal filter pouches. A full batch [1.6 gallons / 6 liters] takes 5 hours and 30 minutes or close to that. The Glass Container... I bought the unit that came with the glass container. I would advise against getting the glass one. The stainless steel bands that surround the glass container are too loose and flimsy, and attach to a rather cheap plastic handle that will never be able to lift a full container of water weighing more than 14 pounds. The stainless steel lid that comes with the glass unit is meant to screw onto the glass mouth but the lid is too big. So, it doesn't work as a fitment lid, but it does cover the container while filling so, I guess it does work for that... kinda. Also, the glass container doesn't have a pour spout so, it's like emptying a pot of water. You WILL need a funnel to pour your water into a 1 Gallon water container for the fridge. idk. > I give the glass container and parts a 1.5/10. I've only used it twice and the Distiller does work very well, which is important to me. I can improvise on the rest of it. I measured the PPM which is THE most important thing in all this. Both times I get 2ppm which is the same as most distilled water I [used to] buy at the market. Once I found 3 gal at 1ppm! YAY! I can't remember the brand name, sry. All in all, so far, I'm happy with the VEVOR YMK60208

Works as it is supposed to. It takes about three and a half hours for a gallon of water to appear in the plastic jug then let it cool down and add a few teaspoons of the citric acid crystals and some water then wipe it with a paper towel and rinse well. Very easy to use.

Es muy buen producto

This distiller is great it's about the size of a coffee maker and makes 4 L of distilled water in 3h 30 min and has an auto shut off so you can leave the house while its running when it auto shuts off the red on light will still be on and the rest button on the back will need to be pressed to start again love this machine

Have used this 10 times now, Am pleased with it. Price is great. $90. Used to make distilled water for my homebrew, This also works well to separate ethanol from your homebrew with used with a voltage regulator. "To reduce total boiling Temp"

I requested to return it In instruction said we need to wash and run e fir 20m then will stop automatically, unfortunately it didn’t for over 45 m and the machine gettin very hot and loud sound I waiting approval from saker to return and refund
