Water Distiller Water Distillation Purifier Pure Water Purifier Filters 4L All Stainless Steel Internal Water Bottle Effective Purifier (Stainless Steel) by SteamSun

So far, I am loving this product. The machine seems to work quite well, and it's fantastic to not have to lug in gallons of water each month. The distiller is heavy duty and works effortlessly. The fan is a little noisy but having pure water to drink makes it well worth it. I could move it to the basement if it ever starts to bother me. I took prior advice and stop the cycle before the auto shut off in order to avoid the dry, crusty build-up inside. There is still a little ring of residue around where the burner probably is, but a short vinegar soak helps relieve that. The all stainless-steel interior is easy to wipe clean, otherwise. I would love to have had a glass collection jar, but the plastic one that came with it is heavy duty also, and I transfer the water immediately to another container, anyway. I have not used a charcoal filter yet as I question the necessity. Not sure why they are included but seem to me to add an opportunity for pollution to an otherwise pure distilled product. Arrived very quickly and distiller was in good shape, although the box was not very sturdy. Product shipped from Canada. After 4 gallons of use so far, I recommend it!

Works well. Requires replacement carbon filter packets. Difficult getting replacement parts such as a replacement spout.

I am very disappointed with this water distiller. I used it daily to make distilled water. It ran fine in the beginning and it took about 3 and a half hours to make a gallon of distilled water. The only problem was after almost 7 months of daily use, it stopped working. It would only run for 10 to 15 minutes and shut off without making any distilled water. I had bought a Square Trade 3 year warranty for the water distiller. Square Trade was of no help! They told me to contact the manufacturer because it was still under warranty. I contacted the third-party seller SuperLand for the name and contact information for the manufacturer. That was on a Tuesday. 48 hours later, no response! At least Amazon stepped in and issued me a refund for the defective unit once I returned it to them. The water distiller is a SteamSun unit. No information about SteamSun on the internet. Most likely a Chinese-made product that could be labelled with any name on it. Buyer beware. If you use this water distiller daily like I did, it will most likely NOT last you a year and since there is no manufacturer or warranty listed for this water distiller, you will be out of luck if Amazon does not cover you. My recommendation, buy a water distiller that comes with a warranty of at least one year or greater if possible. You will most likely have to pay more than $75.00 for it, but it should last you more than a year and be better made than this water distiller.

I actually bought 4 of these.. Unfortunatly the most used one, has just failed(overheats/turns itself off<cracks in bottom?>).. after about 8 months of use; 1 batch a day.So it did about 270 gallons; Costs about $0.35 in electricty to do a gallon($94.50); Distiller cost me $80.54 after taxes.I've had the unit for 11.9months before it failed, but I was away for 4months; so otherwise 8 months of actual use.This distiller 'just' paid for itself vs buying distilled water at walmart($0.65/gallon, tho I think current prices might be near 0.80).imo price of these should be about $35.00.Oh and it is a very low quality, thin, stainless; top rusted in a couple of spots.Warranty is looking useless so far, will update IF* I can get replacement part or not. presume not.

This is my second unit. Both work pretty well, but there are some things you should know.First of all, the seal can take a bit of time to form to the bowl. In both my units, there was considerable leakage on first use, which decreased and eventually stopped after 3-4 uses.Next, the stainless steel is pretty cheap. Stainless steel will corrode due to heat or chemicals, and the resistance is based largely on how much chromium is in the alloy to form a new chromium oxide layer when the old one is scratched off. I've taken care to "scrub" mine with non-abrasive sponges, and clean it with vinegar, yet they still develop rust spots after a while. The fact that it's only in spots may also indicate an uneven mixing of the alloy. At any rate, they WILL rust, the only question is when. Both my units are still usable with about 100 uses out of one, and about 50 out of the other so far. The rust should not prevent use, but it will eventually fail.Finally, if you live in a hot climate like, say, Phoenix AZ in the summer time, you may choose to use your unit outside. If so, expect an additional 10-15 percent of water loss due to evaporation. It'll still work, just not as efficiently. However, compared to the cost of running the A/C to dissipate the additional heat, the trade-off may be worth it.I'd love to see a model with a ceramic coating, but I expect that's cost-prohibitive.Oh, also I find that vinegar makes a great cleaning agent. That other stuff is way too expensive. Just mix vinegar and water (it doesn't take much) and let it sit for an hour or so and it will dissolve the calcium build-up so you can wash it clean with a sponge.
