VEVOR 1.1Gal Water Distiller, 0.4Gal/H, Distilled Water Maker Machine 1750W 0-99H Timing Dual Temp Display, 304 Stainless Steel Countertop Distiller Glass Carafe Cleaning Powder 3 Carbon Packs, Silver

I've been using this Vevor (aka Mophorn) pure water distiller for 10 months, running it at least once a day and often two or more times a day, 7 days a week. It's performed well and continues to provide a good quality distilled water (see below) with regular maintenance. Suggestions (lessons learned) 1) Do not run it dry. i.e. Do not let it run until the automatic shutoff turns it off. It takes roughly 4 hours to distill about 1 gal. of water. So, I have the unit on one of those inexpensive wall outlet timers set to shut it off after about 3 1/2 hours. This way the 'minerals & impurities' do not get "burnt on" the bottom so it's easier to clean and doesn't 'pit' the stainless steel. Personally, I disconnect the power cord from the wall timer to the unit as soon as I notice it has shut off. [Suggest you experiment with the 'time' if you have "Hard" water. You may want to shorten the time to 3 hours, producing less distilled water but 'saving' the units bottom from being as built up.] 2) After the distiller has cooled for at least 30 to 45 minutes, disconnect the plug from the upper to the lower unit, take off the condensing unit (top) with care as hot steam may still come out and hot water clinging to the unit will 'spill off' as soon as you tilt it. Set the top it aside and pour the leftover water from the distilling unit (bottom). Carefully because it will still be hot, wipe out both top and bottom with a soft cloth or paper towel. Take care when wiping off the upper unit being careful around the vent cover that the water vapor goes through to the condensing coil. Be sure to gently wipe off the soft seal on the top unit to keep it clean. Set both parts (top & bottom) on a towel or over the edge of a sink to dry being careful not to ding or damage the edges. Part of the reason for allowing the units (top & bottom) to dry at this point is to let them cool. If you are in a hurry to produce another 'batch' of distilled water, I suggest you let the unit cool for at least 15 to 20 minutes before proceeding. 3) Mix a couple ounces of vinegar with a little water and using a soft cloth or paper towel, wipe off the inside of the upper and lower unit with the vinegar & water mixture. Pour the remaining mixture out and rinse with tap water then wipe the inside with a damp soft cloth or paper towel. I usually lightly rinse it again just to be safe but that's "Belt & Suspenders" thinking. Set the units aside to dry or fill to run another batch. While I agree that this is not a 'laboratory Grade' distilling device but consider it a good quality 'Home Use' distiller which should produce reduced levels of 'harmful' contaminants from tap water when properly used. Even though the unit is as loud as an evaporative humidifier when operating, I find this Vevor Tabletop Water Distiller well this worth the money, but it does require care to maintain it so it will last. My most important piece of advice is do not let it run 'dry' and clean it with a vinegar or ascorbic acid and water mix at a minimum of every other use. Addendum I noticed a few negative reviews questioning the quality of the 'distilled water' produced by this unit, so I thought I'd add some thoughts and observations for those interested. There are many considerations that impact "what kind/level of distilled water" you need for your proposed use. First, there are different levels ('kinds') of "Distilled" water. No simple, single stage, countertop distilling unit will produce 'Technical or Laboratory Grade' distilled water, especially at this price. Filtering or distilling water for 'Human Consumption' is quite different than filtering water to produce water for a marine reef aquarium or use in a laboratory. Water processed in typical water plants for 'Human Consumption', often has certain chemicals added intentionally and/or inadvertently which are considered beneficial to humans. Chemicals such as Calcium, Potassium, Molybdenum and Magnesium are required by humans to stay healthy. In many areas Fluoride is added to "promote stronger teeth" and reduce tooth decay. While small levels of lead and copper are considered safe for human consumption, even a small amount of copper in marine reef water can poison and kill a marine invertebrate ('coral') and small levels of either are usually considered unacceptable for most laboratory grade distilled water applications. [FWIW, most Technical Grade and especially ASTM Deionized water is harmful to drink or even get in your eyes.] So, if you're primary purpose is to produce drinking water or water for home humidifier, when properly used and maintained, this unit will provide a highly reduced level of a large majority of 'unhealthy contaminants' found in most USA produced 'tap water'. Personally, I produce two levels of filtered/distilled water for our home use. First, for our humidifiers, I filter our tap water through two different gravity fed filters that contain 'mixed bed ion' with activated charcoal filtration. (see attached photo) This lowers the percentage of mineral impurities and unnecessary chemicals not needed for use in a humidifier. Reduces the 'white dust', etc. you may see from using unfiltered water in a humidifier. Second, I also use the double filtered water in this distiller to produce water to add moisture to the output of an Oxygen Concentrate and CPAP. This distillation greatly reduces many secondary 'pollutants' not desired for inhalation such as chloride, sodium, nitrates and sulfates as well as helping to ensure that any microbial, fungi or viral microorganisms possibly present are killed. While some of these can be safely ingested, they can be hazardous when inhaled especially by someone with 'lung issues'. [For the 'purists', I also gravity drip, reverse flow feed the output of this distillation unit through a water quality ultraviolet (UV) sterilizer into a Nalgene container using medical grade tubing providing approximately 15 minutes UV Light contact time.] In reviews comparing results of before and after impurity levels from a Certified Laboratory, I would suggest: 1) A Certified Laboratory Test should also be performed on the store purchased 'distilled water' you're buying for a "fair" comparison to the performance of any distillation unit you are using. You may be surprised at the test results for distilled water you purchased at your local grocery store for a few dollars. You may also want to do a comparison with 'Nursery Water'. PS, be sure to include a 'Fluoride Level' test in Certified Laboratory results. 2) In looking at the water quality, before and after test results posted in some reviews, I theorize the 'after distilling' with a unit like this was possibly A) Not run as suggested 4 or 5 time (with the water produced discarded) prior to sending the produced distillate to a Certified Laboratory for testing. And very likely B) The unit tested had the "tea bag' style activated charcoal filter installed. Probably, the 'Activated Charcoal' filter had not been pre-rinsed and 'washed' properly prior to use. For many years I was a Certified Water Plant Operator and have maintained marine reefs aquariums for decades which require stringent water parameters for the health of the invertebrates. So, I ran the following tests this weekend after probably 400+ uses of this unit. I don't have the test kit/equipment to run several other tests often run for drinking water such as the various polyethylenes, vinyl chlorides, cryptosporidium, Haloacetic acids, Barium, Beryllium, Cadmium, etc. These results are the findings for my water supply. (From my tap) Water quality tests [unfiltered tap water -> After Filtering and distilling - your results may vary] > pH: 7.8 -> 7.0 > Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): 286ppm -> 3 ppm > Electrical Conductivity (mmho/cm): 6.8 -> 1.3 > Salinity (ppt): 0.205 -> 0.004 > Hardness (dGH/dKH): 6/5 -> 0/0 > Carbon Dioxide (CO2, ppm): 2.7 -> 0 > Coliforms, Total (cfu/100ml): 0.01 -> 0.00 > E.

I've had this unit for almost 2 years now, so I thought I would write a review. My wife and I each have CPAP units, so we use distilled water every night in the humidifiers to keep our throat and nose from turning into the Sahara Desert. The going rate for a gallon of distilled water in the store has long been $1.49 until recently, and is now $1.69. We got sick and tired of buying gallons and gallons of containers constantly - having to deal with all the empty containers... etc. So we bought one of these to make our own distilled water. Being a data geek - I created a spreadsheet to track the number of KWH per batch of water. Our local power rate is just over 10 cents per KWH. Using a measuring unit plugged into the wall socket, I measure each usage and enter it into my spreadsheet. On average, I use just over 3 KWH per 1-gallon batch - which calculates out to around 31 cents! That is a HUGE savings per gallon! After a little more that 1 year - it ended up paying for itself! I am now at over $42 toward paying for itself a second time. That is a great ROI in my book - not to mention the complete elimination of buying tons of 1-gal containers at the store, which at times have been out of stock! The unit works perfectly, and I have had zero problems with it. It turns itself off when it's distilled almost all of the water each batch - so you don't have to keep your eye on it for fear of it melting down, or catching on fire. There is always a small level of water left at the bottom. One thing though... the plastic container provided to gather the distilled water...... is CRAP. First of all - it's PLASTIC. Second, it's too tall to fit under the spigot, and then you still have to pour its contents into some other container. Get rid of it. I found a MUCH better solution: Buy yourself some glass jugs (instead of plastic - to try and cut our ingestion of microplastics) and a length of 5/16" silicone tubing, and have it drip into the containers. Both items are on Amazon as well. See my attached photos. We settled on 2 half gallon jugs per batch. They're lighter and easier to manage than full gallon jugs. I set my phone stop watch (around 2hrs and 15 min) when I start a batch, so I know when to switch over to the 2nd bottle so I don't loose a bunch of water. But if you don't want to have to switch bottles in the middle of the batch - full gallon bottles would certainly work just as well... and not require moving the tube to a second bottle. I am very happy with this purchase, and will buy another one when this one quits.... in fact, I might buy another one soon, just so I have another one ready to go! If you are dealing with the same issues we were - you won't be sorry with this purchase. Sure, you have to make your own distilled water, but it's very easy to do. It takes around 4 hours per batch. It's almost a "set it and forget it" operation. Also - the citric acid included works GREAT to disolve mineral deposits after using a few times. I bought a larger bag after using up the one included, and use it around every 3rd batch. Simply sprinkle around a cap full into the container and fill about an inch with warm water and let sit over night. Simple as that! Good luck!

I noticed the exact same unit comes several times rebranded under different names with negligable price variances.. The who, what and why answers those little details. The unit is quite good, takes about 30 minutes for a gallon of water to get hot enough for the machine to start its distilling process. All in all it takes 4 to 4 1/2 hours to distill a gallon of water. It’s reasonably quiet, the only noise being the fan which for the most part can be considered nicely quiet. A side benefit is that the heat given off by the fan makes, for winter, a decent auxillary 750 watt heater. I live full time in an RV so it’s an unexpected welcomed feature, at least for about 4 hours. Yes, it would be close to 6 gallons a day if used continuously however, living alone, (water, coffee, hot chocolate, cooking, etc) a gallon a day works out great for me. I would add the construction and insulation is very good. Haven’t gotten to the cleaning stage yet, I buy the cheapest bottled water there is which interestingly enough is 84 cents for a gallon of distilled water. I do not trust ANY kind or brand of bottled water and this includes bottled distilled water. All lab tests of all kinds and brands of water fail miserably. After a week or ten days at a gallon/day the unit shows no sign of any kind of accumulated dirt or crud buildup nor can I feel any slimey buildup on the sidewall. They did include a small jar of citrus cleaner. The unit came with three charcoal filter bags plus one installed in the unit. Hunting around on Amazon I found where a charcoal bag seller recommended replacing every six months. I have been swapping out bags after each gallon, laying out the just used wet bag to allow it to dry. The cost of @ $20 for 24 bags with a life expectancy of at least every year for 24 bags at one gallon per day seems more than reasonable. Now to the really bad issue. The plastic pitcher the distilled water runs into is some sleeping on the job design engineer’s nightmare revenge! It holds, barely, one gallon exactly, the inside diameter of the pour spout is about 1 1/2”. It is very short with maybe 2 threads. All of which adds up to an impossibly sloppy mess when trying to empty the pitcher for the next distilling cycle. Apparently, later versions use an updated glass pitcher with what appears to be a considerably better pouring spout. I’m already looking around for a replacement for this otherwise useless plastic one, as since, on average, somewhere between 1 and 2 pints can be expected to be wastefully spilt as is. All considered, the unit is great and I highly recommend it although do seriously consider spending the extra for the better glass pitcher. I give it 4 out of 5 stars for Overall Rating only because of the plastic pitcher’s poor design and even worse performance. Everything else I gave 5 stars. Relevent Sidenote: A couple months ago I purchased a hot water maker, holds about one mug (330ml) of water, 6” tall by a couple inches diameter with a screw on lid. Takes about 3-3.5 minutes for boiling water for coffee (I use cones). I mention this only because it operates identical to the distiller the only difference is it lacks the condensation coils and fan. Understanding this basic helped understanding the distiller’s operation subsequent to its purchase. The concept on both are simplistic enough that the admiration for both units are well deserved.

The name on the Distiller that arrived was NOT Mophorn, but VEVOR. I have had this Distiller now for 6 months and it is working well. I have made many gallons of good tasting, quality water With no mechanical issues at all. The secondary filter fits into the spout that disassembles and the fan is nice and quiet unlike complaints of loud fans by other users of the Mophorn labeled distiller. The MFR must have improved on the fan's quietness. I have more than broken even by saving money on water I formerly bought in the store. IMPORTANT! I use a timer set for 3 hours to both protect machine from overheating and makes it easier to clean after each gallon is distilled. The little extra water left behind is really insignificant and protects machine from having to raise the temperature in order to trigger the auto shutoff feature and also making sure the residue left behind doesn't bake into the metal this makes it harder to clean and could decrease the life of the machine. The timer I use is found here on Amazon: Link > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MVDTEXS?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 This Timer is inexpensive, easy to use and works great. This is the second review.. I have more than broken even with the cost of Machine vs buying distilled water at the store. and have actually made a profit of $80.00 and the machine is still putting out water. Since I have been so happy. I have taken that $80 I made and purchased another one, putting it aside in case this one does fail. So far so good though. The only potential problem I can see is the seal where the top meets the base. This seal is important in keeping the steam contained while its distilling. The only wear I can see happening is from the habit I have of after placing the top onto the base and after doing that twisting the top around while on the base to align it. Just place the top down on the base and do the positioning prior to placing on the base and don't twist or rotate the top around and it should make the rubber seal last longer. 3rd Review GOOD NEWS. I bought this unit in March of 2023 it is now January 3rd 2024. This machine is still running strong after 8 months. The money it saved me (8 Mos @ $30.00 Per month = $240) paid for this unit. It saved me almost 3 and a half times what it cost. I owe it lasting this long, to using the timer to shut it off after 3 hours. If you buy this machine you MUST buy a timer before using it. I have read horror stories of those who did not use the outside timer. Do yourself a favor and get one for this unit especially. The timer sited above has worked very well.

I was excited to get this to distill my city tap water. It was easy to use and made clean tasting water. I plugged it into a smart plug and would run it for 3h 45m so it didn't run completely dry. This made it easy to clean since nothing burned on the bottom. I would clean out the inside every 2-3 refills and it was easy to do since it's stainless steel interior so I would use lemon juice. Get a large bottle of lemon juice and squirt enough to cover the bottom and let it sit for 5-10 min. Then run a magic eraser sponge inside and everything comes out sparkling clean after a good rinse with the sprayer of hot water. It may be overkill on my part for my quest for pure clean tasting water...I fill the distiller with brita filter water to start and when it comes out of the distiller, I run the batch thru my zero water pitcher which improves the taste. Now my zero water filter last a long time....so far 6 weeks and still at 0 tds. My tap water thru the zero water pitcher would last maybe 2 weeks before needing to be changed. Anyway, 6 weeks it was great and then suddenly tonight it wouldn't turn on. It was on and then it stopped after a few minutes. This is very sad. I bought it in early december 2022, didn't start using it until january 9 and pretty much ran it everyday, 1-3 batches depending on my schedule. I have a sheet of paper I used to keep track of how many batches I run because I was looking at my breakeven timeline vs buying distilled water. I pretty much breakeven since I ran about 48 batches, I still expected this to last longer than 6 freaking weeks. I thought maybe there was warranty but I see many complain of it breaking with no warranty nor response from seller. I'm just less than 3 months from when I first purchased it. It was great when it worked, now I'm not sure what to do other than buy another brand that has warranty and add the protection coverage. If you're eyeing this machine, spring for the $10.99 protection plan just in case yours stop working within months of use or try a different brand. This was sold under one brand but arrived with a different brand name which maybe they are the same company. Good luck but I don't recommend this at all due to it lasting very little time of use. I take good care of my appliances so this is really unacceptable to have it fail so soon.

This has been a great purchase. It seems multiple companies sell this same distiller and put their name on it. They all appear to be the same model. I purchased mine as a Mophorn and the one I received is a Vevor - which is fine because they are the same. Just look for the best price. It works well. You simply pour water into it and it distills the water and drips it into a separate container (that comes with the unit). It does take about 4 hours. I got it because I use a humidifier and can never find distilled water in the stores in the winter. Since I used the humidifier 24 hours a day in the winter this item has paid for itself. It makes distilled water faster than my humidifier uses it so it has worked well. I just put it on the kitchen floor in an out of the way area and let it run. I've seen all kinds of comments about most everything about it but I don't get it. This is very easy to use. It's not loud. It is equivalent to a low power small fan. I don't pay any attention to it. I fill it up. Turn it on and it automatically shuts off when it's done. I then take the distilled water and pour it into my humidifer and go back and fill up the distiller again (with tap water) and repeat the process. Cleaning... not bad. After using it for days it will start to have some white mineral deposit on the bottom. I do use the citric acid descaler occassionally (2 times) and I've probably made 30 gallons of distilled water. Usually I just get a stiff nylon brush and scrub the bottom and it gets nearly everything clean. Then every few weeks I use the descaler which is very easy to use. All in all I would recommend this. It's a workhorse and runs perfectly. Shuts off when it's finished. I have no regrets purchasing it and I looked at other reviews before leaving mine and I don't get it. Some people make it seem like a big job to use this. Not at all. Pour water in it - turn it on - clean it occassionally.

This is my second, I accidentally left the first one at a friend's house. The first was lower watts and I used it trouble free for 6 months. If you can run this daily the lower watt model might be the one for you. The water is very hard where I live and I'm prone to kidney stones. No trouble with kidney stones since I started drinking distilled water. The water taste very good thanks to the carbon filter. I've started adding a small amount of liquid ionic mineral concentrate. I bought a large bag of food grade citric acid that works as well as the citric acid the machine comes with. Vevor offers very well made products and I've got faith this will last years. It is not very noisy and it puts out some heat. In the winter you might find that useful.

My old 1750w water distiller starting having problems with the top motor, so I decided to get this new distiller, a different brand, and also purchased a 4-year warranty on it, since I distill a gallon every 2 days or so. Note in my photos you see me using a water tester, but this tester does _not_ come with the distiller and I purchased the water tester separately on Amazon, and you can find cheap water testers for under $10 on here. This 1750w distiller works great and is quieter than my prior distiller. My tap water prior to being distilled with this new unit was 332 ppm (shown in my review photos), and the resulting distilled water tested at 6 ppm, though I've gotten as low as 2 ppm so far. My tap water quality varies daily with undesired particles content. The only issues I had with this distiller, but they are minor and does not take away from the 5-star rating. 1) To get 3000 ml or around 1 gallon you need to fill up the tank about 1 inch under the fill line (see in my photos). As if you fill water all the way up to the tank's marked fill line the distiller will _not_ distill the extra water and leaves about an inch standing in the tank. But if you will still get 1 gallon or 3000ml if you fill up to under 1 inch under the marked fill limit. But this unit lets you set the distilling time past the default 2 hours and 40 minutes. If you set the time to 3 hours then it would distill all the tank water up to the fill line. The other issue is that if you need to unplug the unit to move or clean it, the unit will forget the 3 hour setting and default back to the 2:40 timed setting. And again this is a minor issue, as I simply have to just fill up tap water to 1 inch under the limit line and I'll still get the water jug filled up to the 3000 ml level. 2) The unit came with a metal stand, and I have no idea what it's used for, as it's not mentioned in the distiller's manual. I assume it's for distilling wine from another container placed inside the unit? My prior 1750w distiller did not have the metal rack seen in my photo. And it's minor, as not using the metal grill has no impact on me distilling 1 gallon of water. 3) The manual gives instructions for using this distiller for wine? I have no idea why that feature is present, as all I care about is distilling water. But just a minor complaint. Anyhow I do recommend this distiller as it's fast and quiet, compared to my prior distiller.
