ROVSUN 【Upgraded】 1.1 Gallon/4L Water Distiller Countertop Distilled Water Machine with Flame-Retardant Material, BPA-Free Container & Stainless Steel Interior, 750W Distilled Water Maker Purifier

This distiller has worked well for me for about 2 years now. I use it occasionally in the summer and daily in the Winter and Fall for my humidifier, which makes cleaning much easier than using tap water. I descale the insides with 4tbsp food-grade citric acid and running it for 30 minutes with the top off to boil the solution. After 2 years, the bottom of the distiller is slightly tarnished, but otherwise it is in good shape. I have never had issues with the fan or outer plastic shell. One thing that has improved the lifespan is that I only run the device for 3h30min at a time, so it never completely dries out. I recommend buying an electrical timer switch that will automatically power off the distiller. The noise is manageable. The provided instructions are clear and it is simple to use.

I purchased this item approximately 8 months ago. I have used it DAILY since then.... It has served me well, with no problems. I set it and forget it. It is easy to clean with a bit of citric acid to dissolve the lime buildup (I have very hard water in my area). Completely satisfied with this purchase.

This distiller is slightly larger than many, but what attracted us was the on/off switch for AC power. No need to pull the plug to power down. It runs quietly, and was easy to clean up after use. We liked the plastic catch container - no glass to break! Our use is in a humidifier to avoid the white dust, and occasionally in an iron, etc. We do not use the carbon filter, which keeps things simpler, and particularly like the short flexible tube that can be attached to the spout to ensure all the condensate is directed into the catch container, and not dribbling off the edge of the lid with a slight misalignment. A tube of this kind could be added to similar distillers if they don't include one. We ran it on a Kill-A-Watt meter and were surprised to find that it consumed almost exactly the 900 watts at which it is rated, peaking briefly at about 905 watts, then settling down around 890-900 watts. It took about 3.7 kilowatt-hours to produce approximately 1.33 gallons of distilled water. (Note that we do not operate it at "full capacity", from fill line to dry - see next paragraph.) We avoid the overheating shutoff by measuring the capacity of the distiller just below the fill line (where we fill it), and note that level on the catch container. We power it off when the distilled water has filled to an inch or two below that. This leaves an inch or more of water in the bottom of the distiller. By not boiling it dry, we avoid depositing a lot of minerals in the bottom of the distiller stainless steel pot, and also avoid distilling over any small amount of heavy volatiles that boil at a higher temperature than water. We intend to plug it into timer switch capable of switching the 900 watt load, so allowing it to run without checking its progress. It is pretty reliable in timing, if started with the same amount of water, at the same temperature. We use hot water from the tap (actually just warm, as we keep the water heater set low), and our water is softened, which helps avoid lime scale. A cleaning with vinegar removes nearly all the "staining" we get in the bottom of the distiller pot, leaving only a faint stain that penetrated the surface of the steel right away, but is not really darkening with repeated use. Starting with hot water shortens the time before it starts boiling and producing condensed water. This water is heated with natural gas in the water heater, more cheaply than heating it with electricity in the distiller. Leaving some (hot) water in the bottom at the end of each use wastes the electricity used to heat it up. We are talking a few cents here, either way. At our electrical billing, I recall calculating the cost of distilled water at about 30 cents per gallon. (Forgive me if the power usage and cost data are a bit off, I am going from memory.) We are quite happy with this ROVSUN 6L distiller, and can recommend it. Our usage method was inspired both by our own ideas and the reports of other reviewers (thanks to all for reporting your experiences). Operated with a little care, it works fine, does not leak, and is easy to clean.

The machine works just fine as described so far. No complaints there. Limitless distilled water on demand for my humidifier has been a nice little luxary this season. The jug that came with it is absolutely the worst, though. It does its one job of holding water very poorly. The cap bottoms out before creating a seal and opening at top of the jug where the cap screws on has a prominent flat spot on either side which looks to be not a defect but a design flaw, so there is a clear path for a significant leakage. I would imagine that they all come that way. It leaks... a LOT. Don't use that jug they give you unless you only want to do a quart at a time or just walk at an impossibly slow pace with that jug even half of water or you will have plenty of spills all over yourself and your floors. This may seem trivial but finding a replacement gallon jug on day one that is the right size to fit under the machine is not cheap.

I have used this about every other day for 8 months with no issues. It has paid for itself twice over since I do not have to buy gallons of water. You must clean it, I remove the cooked on residue after each use, if you do not keep the botton clean it will stop working

I'm very pleased with this after 2 months of daily use. The previous distiller we used daily for about 3 years broke (motor burnt out), so I ordered this one as a replacement. One thing I like about it is the durable plastic pitcher. Our old distiller came with a glass one, which broke, so I always had to use a metal pot for the water to collect in and it therefore took a long time for the distilled water in the pot to cool. With the plastic pitcher, I can pour the distilled water directly into our brita pitcher right away once distilling is done because it doesn't stay hot. Secondly, I've only used two distillers so I don't know what the average noise level is. But I would say this one is the same in comparison to our old one - not too loud but not exactly quiet either. As far as how long it takes to do the whole gallon - again, it's the same as our old distiller, so about 3.5 hours. Thirdly, it's simple to use. Just fill it up and turn on the back switch. The front button is only for when the previous cycle shut off automatically (sounds complicated to a new user, but it's really not). I tend to try to switch it off before it turns off automatically so that I'm not left with calcified water at the bottom of the distiller. Sometimes, however, I'm in another room and busy doing other things so I don't shut it off and I am left with chunks of caked-on hard water at the bottom. My old distiller did the same so I'm used to this. I just rinse it well until the chunks loosen. I can't seem to get the citric acid to really clean the bottom well, but to me this isn't a big deal as this doesn't affect the water we are actually drinking. Lastly, I had a bit of a hard time "lifting" the spout to get to the carbon filter. I felt like I was going to break it considering how hard I had to pull to get it off. But the spout did come off and the filter can be changed. Maybe next time it won't be as hard to pull off. Overall, I'm really happy with this distiller and I like the look of it too!

I've only used this to make 5 gallons so far, but it is performing very well. TDS has come out vertebrae 2 and 5. PH has tested in the 5's. From 5.40 and 5.70. It's quite loud, but it's kept in the kitchen. It seals tight and doesn't leak. Very easy to use.

This is the 2nd distiller I've purchased. Seems to work just like the last one. Just under 4 hours to make a gallon. My other one was also an inexpensive off brand and this looks nearly identical. That one lasted 2.5 years of daily use. The heating element on the old one failed and it was blowing the circuit breaker in my house. Also the reset switch had quit working after only 6 months but that led me to getting a plug in wall timer so I could set how long the distiller runs. I definitely recommend a wall timer where you can set the run time. Then you don't need to rely on the reset switch as your on/off switch and you can set the time so there is a little water left in the bottom of the pot. Then you can just rinse it out instead of letting the residue get baked on. You still have to use vinegar every once in a while. The reset button is really just overheat switch so using a timer should eliminate the stress on that switch which is failure prone. This one came with a plastic jug which I like over the glass jug my other one came with. It is lighter and easier to pour and you can see the water level better because the glass ones have a metal ring right around the top. It is supposed to be made of safe plastics and it doesn't smell funny so I will probably keep using it. I pour the water into others containers anyway after I distill it. I also got an all copper container for my drinking water that I refrigerate. The copper supposedly ionizes the water and when it's cold it really tastes awesome. I have been doing this since 2017 and I see no reason to stop. The crap that accumulates in the distiller is visual evidence of what you are drinking without one. Delivery was fast. The email said it would take a couple weeks for delivery but it showed up in 2-3 days with Prime. The quality of this unit seems fine. Getting one that doesn't have a problem right out of the box is a win I think. I've read a lot of reviews and they all seem to have some reliability issues. If I get a few years out of this I will be happy. Even the Magahome ones that cost $250 have failures and they sell spare parts for them that are more than a whole new off brand distiller. So that's why I got another off brand one and we'll see how it goes. I will update this review when/if this unit fails.

Its brilliant

Very easy to use , hopefully save loads of money from now on
