Clean Water is Critical and This System is a Great Start!
Firstly, clean water is essential for many important things! Many of your internal body functions that transfer nutrients and removes waste use the water that you take in to accomplish this. And the cleaner the water the more effective and efficient the process! After running a distiller cycle or two you will see the extracted impurities within the tank that were in the water.This is not my first distiller. However, it is better than the last one that I bought (which lasted about one year). The lesser model was either on or off only. This unit has a heater control with a wide range of settings. I guess if in a hurry increase the temperature? I set to mid-level before bed and in the morning it is always done.This unit is also better in that it shuts off automatically when the cycle is done! The cheaper model did not. It remained on running dry until I shut it off (could have contributed to its short life).And as a bonus! Every appliance that uses water will last many times longer when filled with clean water only! Like the iron/steamer and coffee maker. Is much better for cooking just knowing that the water and food is cleaner. I have two 2.5-gallon containers that I keep filled with clean water.I have a water softener on my entire house and though I do not get as much extracted filth to remove from the distiller (I had the distiller only first and saw worst case), there are still visible impurities that the system removes.Do yourself a favor and try this system. You will be glad that you did!

Works great; when it works; poor, poor after sales follow-up from seller
I have had a number of these generic units from China. Typically they work great for me in a heavy distillation use for about a year, then quit working for one reason or another. That's perfectly fine, because I use them hard.This is my 4th unit, and the rocker switch on the heating base refuses to make good contact and to continue to run without constantly fiddling with the switch rocking it back and forth.I advised this seller that the unit was defective. First no reply, then a second response requesting that I send a video outside of the Amazon messaging system. Another month gone by without response and I've had it with this seller. Don't buy from them! This is cheap as production stuff...some of then are going to fail, but the seller should stand behind their product and make a replacement.I'm off to buy another unit from a DIFFERENT seller. I can't recommend this seller when it comes to the "after-sale" experience

See my written review
It's larger than I imagined. It was VERY hard to out together! Because the instructions were terrible! Steps missing, etc. Make sure to clean it before using it. Doesn't tell you where to put the disposable filter (we figured it out ourselves). No spout so it's hard to transfer to smaller neck bottles. I no longer do full batches for that reason. I only use it for Distilled water. So I've never tasted it. Also we replace our frig water filter every 5 to 6 months so we use our fridg filtered water. Keeps it cleaner. Remember it takes hours to produce a full load for Distilled water. I just start it in the morning and walk away till afternoon or evening.it has an auto turn off (love that).

Really like it but every 9 months?
My second unit's heating element just went out again at the 9 month mark. Love everything else about the unit but having to get a new one every 9 months makes buying bottled water not look that expensive or much reduction in trash.

Fan turns off when heater cycles off
Works good for water, but not so good for distilling alcohol, because the fan turns off with the heater if you use the temp control. Way around that is to plug the fan in a outlet not the unit.Also the thermostat does not reduce the heater output it just cycles the heater on and off. So it will just distill on and off. Bad design!

Highly recommend
Great little unit . I can distill my own water to make it taste better.I would say the same thing that about be great for distilling wine or anything like alcohol.but that's illegal where I liveComes with it's own charcoal filters which are great as well.I highly recommend this unit!
