Waterwise 4000, Countertop Water Distiller System for Home and Office, 1 Gallon Glass Collector Bottle

Great water distiller. Completes a gallon distillation in about 4 hours. As long as you use the filter that goes with this distiller, the water tastes good. It is a good value for the money. My husband and I are senior citizens and this is the third Waterwise distiller that we have owned, and we have gotten a LOT OF USE out of each and every one! You do need a little bit of counter space to set this up in your kitchen, but if you have a laundry area or other sink, you could easily set it up there. The noise produced as the distiller works is not overly loud or distracting. We highly recommend this product.

I know these things are expensive, but how much is your health worth? Ive used these devices (I have 3!) for over 20 years now and they are worth every penny! Once you taste this water nothing else will do, it goes through your system and removes toxins as it winds up in your bladder, you will see and smell the garbage it removes. Makes the best coffee and tea imaginable and once refrigerated, its unbeatable for thirst.

a wonderful product, we have used one for over twenty years and love the water.

I like this distiller. I use it once or twice a day and have done for 8 months. I use it every day, and it has functioned without fail. Water tastes great. I have sulfur well water and there isn't a hint of anything in this water, except water of course. Using the solution they give to clean off the scale that builds up inside works well too. I think it might just be citric acid unless there is something in there they didn't put on the label. So, why only four stars? The glass pitcher!!! It is really terrible! I used one from a different distiller that is awesome, but it broke, so I ended up using this one. I can hardly wait to be able to afford to buy another of the other one I had. This has a big gap in the lid where you pour which means that insects can get inside while it's distilling. I use this in my garage in the summer because it really heats the house--a couple degrees at least. So I put a wash cloth over the hole, but sometimes it droops and gets soaked and then drips water on the counter. So unnecessary. You have to take the lid off to pour anyway because the spout on this thing doesn't work. It's not shaped properly. No matter how slow or fast you poor it, the water just gets all over anyway. So, I've just given in to having to wipe up afterwards. But none of that was necessary with the other container. This is the one I used the pitcher from: http://www.amazon.com/Water-Distiller-Countertop-Enamel-Collection/dp/B00026F9F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408135025&sr=8-1&keywords=water+distiller So, why didn't I just buy that distiller again? Because it died on me in only three months!! You can buy the pitcher separately though: http://www.amazon.com/Water-Distiller-Countertop-Enamel-Collection/dp/B00026F9F8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1408135025&sr=8-1&keywords=water+distiller I'd recommend buying that if you can and save the one that comes with this distiller as a backup. The handle is on the back which is far easier to use than this one where it's on the top. Soooo hard to use. So, there you are, it's a good distiller, but a poorly designed pitcher. If you buy either pitcher, just be careful, they are both real glass and break easily. The only thing else I recommend is that if you depend on distilled water, you might want a back up. Paying expedited shipping on this is not pretty! Guess how I know? LOL Also, if you need a lot of water, you might also want to buy two because these are not commercial grade if you run them more than a time or two a day you will burn them out more quickly. I try to keep it to once a day. And, FYI, it takes five hours to make one gallon.

I love this machine. I rarely write reviews but thought I could add a couple helpful hints to this. I am on my second machine. The first lasted years and years. It eventually burned out. The carafe has changed immensely since the last one. This one pours well and doesn't dribble half away like the old one. You will need to buy the Kleenwise powder. It does a great job and lasts a long time. When the cycle is done I store the water in half gallon glass containers in the refrigerator. It's easier than the big carafe. One very helpful hint would be to not let it completely finish the cycle. When it is about an inch from the top, I unplug the machine. Pour off the water into containers and clean the unit. Since you left about an inch of water it doesn't get as crusty and fused which makes cleaning much easier. I only us the powder about every 5 cycles. Otherwise I just clean it with a long round brush and fresh water while it's still warm. You don't need to let it cool down before taking off the lid. It isn't a pressure cooker! Just aim the lid away from you because it is hot steam. The sooner you clean the tank, the better. I also think that stopping it short of it's cycle might prolong it's life. When my old one failed, it was one of the few times I wasn't around to stop it before it auto shut off. It was dead after that. Maybe coincidence, maybe not!

I never seen a distilled machine make water like this every time. I wanted to exchange they said it was my water and would not exchange it. I had one just like this I used for years made the best water and didn’t burn on bottom every time you made it. Please beware if they exchange it I will update review. 😔

I’ve been using my distiller for a month and I find it easy to use and easy to clean. It puts out some heat because it heats the water during distilling, so I have it set up on my countertop in my laundry room so I can shut the door and keep the heat out of the rest of the house. I like the taste of the water. Most days I use my distiller and always have cold distilled water in the fridge for drinking. Some have complained about the pitcher not fitting tight to the distiller, but I don’t mind the configuration because the water doesn’t splash or leak, it flows just fine from the distiller into the pitcher without any problems. I clean the distiller with white vinegar and wipe dry after each use and the reservoir stays stain free. I am very happy with this purchase.

Have had this product for several months it runs at least a gallon every day through the week and as many as 6 gallons on the weekend every day it has held up very well so far.

Water quality

Excellent service, delivery and product. Well impressed so far. Easy assembly, very sturdy. Don't know what the other reviews were on about. Oh and the water tastes lovely!
