VIVOHOME Water Distiller Countertop 1.6 Gallon/6L 900W Distilled Water Machine with Smart Switch Purifier Filter for Home Office, White

We’ve been using the VIVOHOME 1.5-gallon countertop water distiller for a while now, and I’m genuinely impressed. First — the durability. It feels solid and sturdy, but it’s surprisingly lightweight and easy to move if needed. It doesn’t feel cheap at all. You can tell it’s well made. Second — it’s quiet. We honestly don’t even notice it running during the day while we’re going about our normal routine. That was important to us. We use distilled water strictly for our CPAP machine and nasal flushing. We don’t drink it, and it works perfectly for both. The water has no smell, no weird taste, and it gives us peace of mind knowing it’s clean and consistent. The biggest win? No more trips to the store and no more hauling heavy jugs of distilled water home. That alone has made this completely worth it. If you use distilled water regularly for medical equipment, this is a great investment. It’s convenient, reliable, and has simplified our routine. Highly recommend.

My household goes through a lot of distilled water - cpap machine, humidifiers, ice maker, and aquarium top offs. This distiller is great for meeting those needs. It's easy to use, and works pretty quickly. Cleaning it is cheap- just get a bag of citric acid, it works just as well for descaling the interior, and is food safe. I only wish this brand sold extra carafes - the carafe that comes with the distiller is a very good size, and additional carafes are half the size.

Been using this for a couple of months now, and I must say I'm pleased with the way this machine works to make truly distilled water. I was buying bottled distilled water at over $1.00 a pop and lugging home the gallon jugs. I saved a bunch of the jugs and now refill them with the water this machine makes. Although we have a really good water softener (the water in my city is probably the hardest in the USA), I still need distilled water for my portable humidifiers (a MUST in the desert) and for my tabletop fountains. Although the instructions say you don't need to clean it after every cycle, I do that anyway to avoid buildup. There is always residue at the bottom of the tank after distilling, so I add an inch or 2 of vinegar to the tank, let it sit for about a half hour, wipe and clean with a dishrag and rinse it with fresh water and it's good as new. It takes several hours to produce 1 gallon of water, but that's OK. The unit turns off automatically once all the water is distilled.. One might wonder if the electricity costs to run the machine outweigh the cost of buying distilled water at the store, but I haven't seen any significant rise in my electric bills so that's not an issue for me. One thing that I've noticed is that I no longer have to clean my humidifier as often. I suspect that store-bought distilled water is not as "distilled" as it claims to be. I was constantly getting residue in the humidifier but now that's not an issue, so YAY! I don't use the unit for drinking water so I can't vouch for the taste (but most distilled water is kind of yucky IMO). I hope this thing lasts a long time because so far it's worth every cent, and will pay for itself in a couple more months in the savings from having to buy bottled distilled water. So if you're planning to buy this (or one like it), start saving those gallon jugs from the store.

Not sure how I want to rate this Water Distiller. I will start with things that need to be worked on. The cap that goes over the water canister. When you put it on top of the water canister, there's a small margin for error. I placed it on, started it, and came back much later, and the water was leaking down the counter onto my wood floor. I was not a happy camper, but I should have looked more closely at the downspout's position. After cleaning up the mess, I started to look at everything. Looking at the metal cap, there is a V-shaped piece of metal on the top to funnel water into the canister. The V should be facing out so it forms a funnel/trough, but when I turned it the way I thought it would work, that V funnel was on the far side of the hole, not even close to the downspout. I was confused why it had to be the other way. Then I spotted that the bottom of the Distiller's canister was wider than the top, and the plastic water canister, and they were hitting each other, making the hole the water needed to go into further away. So if the Water Distiller were higher, it would work better. I placed my rigid plastic cutting board under the Water Distiller. But that didn't make the downspout closer to the V funnel. I placed one of the rubber legs under the Water Distiller in the juice grove around my cutting board, which shifted it over the water canister and the V-funnel, lining it up much better. So what is my opinion? The solution is to make the Water Distiller canister top and bottom the same size. I am sure they did it this way to make it more stable due to the weight distribution. I think if they make the Water Distiller heaver on the base it would solve the problem. I have a H2O Labs Water Distiller, and the bottom is heavier. Now, to what I like about this Water Distiller. First, the capacity is 1.6 gallons, versus 1 gallon for most Water distillers. The made a handle in the lid so it is much easier to remove the top from the bottom. The VIVOHOME Water Distiller seems much faster than my H2o Labs Water Distiller. The power cord is good. On my H2o, Labs, it is shorter, which limits where I can place it. With that said, I really do like the VIVOHOME Water Distiller. I'm not quite sure how to rate this Water Distiller, so I'll start with areas that I think could use some improvement. One issue is the cap that fits over the water canister. When you place it on top, there's very little margin for error. I started the distiller and, when I returned later, I found water leaking down the counter onto my wood floor. Understandably, I was not happy. However, I realized I should have paid closer attention to the downspout's position. After cleaning up the mess, I examined everything more closely. The metal cap has a V-shaped piece on top that is supposed to funnel water into the canister. The V should be facing outward to create a proper funnel, but when I positioned it as I thought it should, the V funnel ended up on the far side of the hole, far from the downspout. This confused me, as it seemed the other way around should be the case. Then I noticed that the bottom of the distiller's canister is wider than the top, causing it to collide with the plastic water canister. This misalignment pushed the hole through which the water needed to flow farther away, which is why the distiller would perform better if it were higher. I placed a rigid plastic cutting board under the Water Distiller, but that didn’t bring the downspout closer to the V funnel. Eventually, I propped one of the rubber legs under the distiller on the juice groove of my cutting board, which shifted it over the water canister and aligned the V funnel much better. So, what’s my opinion? The solution would be to make the top and bottom of the Water Distiller canister the same size. I assume the current design is intended for stability due to weight distribution, but I think adding more weight to the base would solve the issue. I have an H2O Labs Water Distiller, and its base is heavier. Now, let's talk about what I like about this Water Distiller. First, it has a capacity of 1.6 gallons, compared to just 1 gallon for most water distillers. The lid also has a handle, making it much easier to remove the top from the bottom. Additionally, the VIVOHOME Water Distiller seems to operate much faster than my H2O Labs distiller. The power cord is also longer, giving me more flexibility in choosing a placement.

This is a great product. I am making 2 to 3 gallons of distilled water daily. It is easy to set up and easy to clean. I only wish I had bought the larger model because my two humidifiers take 5.3 gallons.

I have had this distiller for a few months and I am very happy with it. Price was excellent, quality good, design excellent. This unit has replaced our previous MegaHome distiller that sadly isn’t worth the price, in less than 2 years it died and it had cost me 3 x the price of my new unit. I like that this unit is larger has more megawatts so in less time than my old unit I have more water distilled water. The water tastes good, keep the unit clean between uses to save time on a crusty bottom, yes the pot does get discoloured but this isn’t uncommon in distillers depending on how much crap is in your water to start with. We have a water softener so yes there is lots of crap in the water. The container that collects the distilled water is sturdy, I transfer water to a glass gallon jug and keep a minimum of 12 gallons of water on hand for drinking and cooking. The unit shuts off when it is empty then you use the reset button for your next use. what I like is the on and off switch that I didn’t have on the other unit so if you want to stop the unit before it is empty just switch it off without unplugging it. Overall great machine for the price I paid, Thankyou for making this product so well!!

Great product, works awesome, I have 2 humidifiers that I use distilled water in and this sure saves buying water for them

Inspite of installing a new water softener I was encountering cal/mag deposits in coffee maker and kettle. Having to descale on a weekly basis. This distillation unit has made a significant difference in the quality and taste of well water we use for cooking and drinking. Only drawback is having to run the unit on a nightly basis so we have distilled water for the next day. Considering going for a commercial system so we don’t have to remember to “make” water for the following day

Works great love it

Once you figure out which way to point the spout. If not water gets all over the surface. Instructions for that could be better illustrated. But good product
