DC HOUSE 1 Gallon Water Distiller Machine, 750W 4L Pure Distilled Water Maker Machine for Home Countertop Table Desktop, Drinking Purifier for Home Kitchen CPAP Hmidifiers with Pastic Container

Works great. Bought it for my CPAP, humidifier and plants and it has saved me a ton of money. It runs fairly quiet and doesn't take up much room on my counter. Just one button so super simple. I like that it's easy to clean. I bought a second jug and I use it almost daily.

This post comes after my second purchase. I was happy with the first purchase other than the fact that I needed to do two things that weren't in the instructions. The instructions state that you simply need to distill one to two gallons of water to clean the boiling chamber to remove the plasticky or metallic taste. I didn't want to give up on the first one I bought because I could tell that it was in a decent product. After the water tasted strange after 2 gallons of distilled water I ended up using the citric acid that it comes with to clean the chamber. I put in a heaping tablespoon and filled the chamber almost all the way up. Not all the way up because I didn't want it to boil over. That seemed to do the trick.Just purchased a second one today. The first thing I did was put in a heaping tablespoon of citric acid and fill it with water all the way to the top. I let it boil for 30 minutes without the lid on. Turned it off so the water could cool down a little bit for about 30 more minutes, rinsed it out with warm water really well. Distilled 1 gallon (without the carbon filter so I wouldn't leave any residue on that) that I poured down the drain. Put the carbon filter back in and made a second gallon that was crystal clear and tasted very pure.I wish the directions would have stated to clean the chamber initially with the citric acid. There seems to be a residue in that chamber that wouldn't clean off completely with my old soap and water. Both distillers are working great.A lot of people complain about rust but that's just what is in the water. Keep the unit clean and that should avoid it. Also, I use room temperature water so it doesn't take so long to start producing clean water

If you need to distill water, which is very common case these days, this is an excellent electric solution. Depending on your situation, different precipitations may occur: excessive fluoride courtesy of our clowns in the local water supplies, other invisible poisons. Distillation is one of the most secure ways to purify water. To clean the container, use citric acid. This is effective, cheap, and probably one of the few methods easily available. Some buyers have complained about the precipitations, obviously they don't understand what distillation means. It takes 4 hours to distill a gallon.

I bought this so I wouldn’t have to buy, lug, and store gallons upon gallons of distilled water in my apartment to run the humidifier I use to keep my guitar from drying out and cracking in thecwinter air. This distiller works like a charm, so 4 stars. 1 star off because I do have a list of complaints:- I have very hard city water. The amount of junk left over in the metal tub after a cycle is shocking. It bakes on (stinks!) and is impossible to wipe off. Better than spewing it all into the air via humidifier though.- The cleaning process is both easier and harder than it looks. It ships with a bottle of citric acid crystals. Go ahead and order yourself a bulk 2 pound bag or two of those things, you’ll need them. Throw 3 or 4 tablespoons of crystals into a fully filled distiller tub, and run a cycle with the top off. The scale will disappear in about 30-40 minutes, no muss no fuss. I like to poke at the scale now and again with a spatula while this is going on, but I’m a neurotic overachiever. It is NOT clear or easy how (or whether?) to clean the top part with the coils and fan. Do these need to be unscrewed, taken apart, cleaned, reassembled? Who knows??- This thing uses a lot of electricity and puts out a lot of heat. I ran it about 15 times and my power bill jumped $9 for the month (from $50 to $59, so it was noticeable). That could be because winter and price increase, or distiller use. Can’t tell yet. It does release a LOT of heat. I run it in my bathroom and it makes the room into a sauna. Great for winter! Toasty tile floor! That’s not great energy efficiency though.- It’s loud! I run it in the bathroom so I can close the door. If I ran it in my apt kitchen I would not be able to hear anything else, it’s about as loud as the over-stove fan set on low.- If you have long hair and run this thing on the floor, FOR THE LOVE OF CTHULU hold your hair back when you turn this thing on. The fan on top WANTS to grab your hair. You will cry.Over all, this thing does the job and even with my list of complaints and increase in electricity bill, it’s nice having distilled water on demand instead of having to go to the store and put more plastic jugs in the recycle bin where they probably won’t be recycled anyway. And even with that $9 jump in power bill, for at least 15 gallons worth of water it’s half the price of store bought.
