CO-Z Distilled Water Maker, 1 Gallon Water Distiller, 4L Home Countertop Water Distiller Machine, Table Desktop Water Distill Distilling Purifier Purification Filter, Home Pure Clean Water Device

Update: Unit has stopped working properly. It now shuts off when reaching temperature instead of outputting water. You can hear it clicking, but it errors out instead of producing water. Shutting it off and turning it on for a second time seems to work for now but I'm not sure for how long. I'm initiated a warranty claim and will keep this updated with any new information. I waited to write this review for a bit until I could fully test the machine. I know some people have had issues with leakage so I wanted to make sure that the seals stay intact even after months of use. I'm happy to report that there has been no leaks whatsoever from this machine and it distills perfectly. I'm continually getting 2PPM or lower from the outlet. This is down from my well water source of 150-180PPM. I use this distiller to distill water for my Opal Ice Machine. I've had this since September and it's now January and it's used every day. The rubber seal around the top has stayed pliable and seals well. It's used continually throughout the day making at least 3-5 gallons of water a day. We just continually fill it and dump the water into reusable containers for use in the ice machine. I set the timer to 3 hours and 30 minutes and the temp to 220 Fahrenheit and it properly shuts off when it runs dry and I get the full amount of water purification from it. Cleaning it can be a pain, but I bought a bulk supply of citric acid and it works great to clean the scale and sludge out of the machine. I do have one spot at the bottom that's permanently stained due to the amount of scale in my water source, but it doesn't seem to affect the quality of the water or the function of the machine. It's right where the heating elements are so it makes sense that it would be a hot spot and cause some discoloration and scale build up. I can't seem to scrub it out no matter how hard I try with a soft bristle brush and the citric acid. Do not use anything that can scratch the inside to clean it or you will run into problems. Just simply let the citric acid sit and do it's job and brush it out with a soft bristle brush and it works fine. Overall I'm extremely satisfied with this machine and have not run into any problems with it. It saves me money and has paid for itself so far. I no longer have to buy distilled water at 1.50 or so a gallon. I simply make my own. It takes a lot for something to impress me and this machine has done it. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a home distiller and a way to save money and the environment. Just keep in mind there is some maintenance to it.

Easy set up! Water taste, great! I have had mine for approximately two years with no problems! Would order it again!

So far, my device has worked fine. I knocked one star off, because I have yet to figure out how to install the charcoal filter. The manual says a filter is preinstalled so I will have to solve that in the future. I'm not sure why a charcoal filter would be needed? Distilled water should be the purist of the pure, why would I need to charcoal filter it further? The one caveat is the cleaning. After a cycle, minerals are left heat dried to the bottom and that can't be helped since its part of the process. Getting it to come off did take some effort. I started using 50% white vinegar to water and it eventually came off. I did some research on white vinegar cleaning stainless steel. Some sites say if the steel is a lower quality, the vinegar acid can pit it and it may eventually rust. The steel seems solid to me so I have been using pure white vinegar to soak for about 30 minutes and the minerals clean off easily. Then I rinse the steel liner out with water. I figure I will take my chances since it cleans so easily using this technique. Edit 5 months later: I love this little champ and use it everyday! A great tip, I just came upon, should have thought of it months ago. When a pot of water is making and if you are out of water to drink, don't turn off the machine to get some water. Its better just to pull the water bottle out, pour it into another water bottle, and place a coffee cup or some other short glass to catch the dripping water while the large water bottle is removed. Then put the bottle back under the distiller to catch the dripping water again. Just a tip to keep from turning the machine off, mid cycle. 3rd update: 6 months after purchase. I came upon a snag today and found water all over my counter while it was distilling. I notice water was coming out of the sides where the two halves connect where the seal is. At first I thought the seal went bad and I would need a new machine, but that is not the problem. Apparently after removing the charcoal filter, it runs properly and the pressure is not coming out of the sides and is going upward through the distiller. Therefore, the charcoal filter I installed must have gotten clogged and would not allow pressure upwards. Therefore, all should take care that after time the charcoal filter does not clog. I'm not going to run the machine at night while sleeping so the machine can be checked while making water. Just a warning. I still like the machine, but would give it a 4.5 stars. Another update, approximately 2 years later: The little white champ is still running great. I thought I would update since I have the lowest wattage machine, the 750 watt. It may take longer than the most powerful model, but the advantage is that many electrical outlets may not allow you to use the largest wattage model, since you will overload the circuit. This small model insures you have enough power to most outlets to power it, therefore you will not have to hire an electrician to rewire your outlet for the higher wattage for the other upgraded higher wattage model.

Dernièrement j'ai acheté cet article pour remplacer celui que j'ai eu pendant quelques années et dont j'étais satisfaite. Premièrement, il est plus bruyant que le premier, le temps d'écoulement est beaucoup plus long, et surtout après la deuxième utilisation il est déjà taché et difficile à nettoyer! Problèmes que je n'ai pas eu avec le premier! Sonia

it's not stainless steel material and goes off and on on it's own ,forget about it
