VEVOR Water Distiller, 1.1 Gal Distilled Water Machine, 750W Pure Water Distilling w/BPA Free Plastic Container, Water Distillation Kit w/Button, Countertop 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!

This water distiller is easy to use and maintain. The distillate is so pure it leaves no residue in my CPAP water tank. It paid for itself quickly. It looks well made and functions exactly as it should. The fan's exhaust is comfortably warm, at a good temperature for warming fingers and decrystallizing honey. On the down side for some, it's a large device and there is some noise from the relatively quiet fan. Helps to have water and electricity at hand. It meets my needs quite well.

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.

Fast, Efficient and at about one forth or less than the price of the one it's replacing. I've had a very similar one to this one that I used happily for about nine years, but it was four times or more the price of this one. Everything being relative, this unit is about the same size as my previous unit, but uses 150 or so Watts more power, and produces a gallon of water in 4 hours or less, compared to the previous unit that took 5 hours for the gallon, using a bit less power. The Noise Level on this unit is just a little bit less than the previous unit, and not loud at all. It seals well with no leaks during distilling. What I particularly like about this unit is the power cord at the end that plugs into the machine "DOES NOT GET HOT!" At 700 or so Watts you would normally expect the cord on the unit to get hot, but his one does not. It stays cool. The cord plug-in end on the previous unit would get hot enough to eventually melt the receptacle which contributed to the receptacle eventually coming loose, with the unit power and no long working. The cord on the previous unit getting so hot is the primary reason the unit quit working. Cleaning is a breeze. This unit comes with some cleaner, which I could not tell what it was, so I'm sticking with the food-grade Citric Acid I've been using for years, that cleans the unit flawlessly. It also comes with some charcoal filters, which are not completely necessary but are optimal for giving the distilled water one last bit of cleaning. I tested the water after distilling which came out at 1 to 3 particles per million, with the tap water prior to distilling at around 400 or more particles per million. I don't anticipate any problems with this distiller but will make mention in an update if that occurs.

Takes about 4 hours to distill the full volume of the included jug (4 hrs 7 min the one time I tracked it). Came with the activated carbon packet pre-loaded in the dispenser nozzle. The instructions tell you to soak the packet in water for 5 minutes before using though, so I took it out to do that and put it back in. It's easy enough to pop the nozzle out and back in. The included instructions are not very good. Lots of text (kinda rough translation), few pictures (and they're small). But, the unit is self explanatory enough. Fill the chamber with water to the fill line, put the head back on, connect the power cable between the head and the base, turn it on with the jug below the nozzle and wait. You have to press the reset button between uses to start it off again. CAUTION when removing the head / refilling. It can be hot (it's steam after all) and I found that there's a bit of pressure that builds in the chamber, so some water sprays out when removing the head after it's finished. If it doesn't spray out, it'll drip from the head when you remove it. So there's some cleanup involved between uses. Leaves behind a black sooty gunk in the bottom of the chamber after it's done (if that's what's in my tap water then yikes lol) - I've just been wiping up what I can with a paper towel between uses. Despite the downsides, it does what's advertised and for a reasonable price. Yay for no longer having to buy gallons of distilled water from the store. P.S. - I have no idea what the metal spout lid is for (in one of my review pictures). It's not threaded so it doesn't fit onto the provided jug. 🤷

The Vevor Water Distillation Machine has been an excellent investment. We use the distilled water it produces in our ice machine and humidifiers, and there is zero buildup—no scale, no residue, nothing. The water quality is outstanding, and you can immediately see the results. We love it so much we’re buying one for the grandparents!

I've now used this for about 20 gallons of water and it consistently operates well and delivers a gallon pretty quickly. It's very easy to use - just fill up the tank, drop on the top, and turn it on. The unit does the rest. The out spout is, to me, quite easy to use (I've read other reviews that say it's hard to align - I didn't find that to be the case). The receptacle tank fits nicely inside the unit for storage, which is nice. I don't distill water to get a special taste in drinking it (though the distilled water tastes just fine) - just to use in a CPAP, iron, and other devices. I've run several gallons through my CPAP with no discernable deposits, so I'm confident the water quality is good. The unit does boil the water chamber to complete dry before the heat build up causes it to shut off. I think that's a drawback, because every batch ends up leaving a lot of scale. I just keep an eye on the process and when it's almost done I manually turn it off, then let it cool. Then I pour out the last inch or so of water in the boiling chamber to save myself a lot of descaling. Even so, the bundled citric acid will quickly clean the chamber after multiple uses - and does it easily and well. Given the cost, this one is - in my opinion - a winner. Doesn't do everything the expensive units do, but does everything I need it to.
