H2o LabsBest-in-Class Countertop Water Distiller - Stainless Steel Home Water Distiller with 1 Gallon Glass Carafe - Porcelain Nozzle Insert & Optimal Heating Element for Pure Distilled Water - 300SS

This is the first time I am writing a review for an Amazon purchase, but I just had to speak out on the H2O Labs Best-In-Class Stainless Steel Water Distiller we purchased on January 19, 2022. I will admit that this may be one of those lengthy reviews so for those of you with little patience I will say upfront that this is a stellar device. It outperforms any of our expectations and I highly recommend it.OK, for those willing to stick around for the longer version, here we go. We live on a 100 acre farm and over the past 30+ years approximately 7 gas wells have been dug on the property. All but two of those have been capped and sealed. We always wondered if some of the residual petroleum may have leached into the water table. Several years ago, we had our water tested and nothing objectionable was reported. However, when we would leave a glass of water sitting overnight, the next morning there would be a lovely rainbow of oil on the surface. I don’t think it takes an Einstein to know that something wasn’t right. Therefore, we searched for a water distiller. We weren’t prepared to spend a thousand dollars, but we wanted one we could depend on. The Best-In-Class seemed to fit both our pocket and our needs.We couldn’t be more impressed with the water it produces and how well it works. We make approximately 3 gallons of distilled water a day. This keeps us, and our animals and indoor garden, in clean, healthy water. I was a little concerned about keeping it clean, especially after seeing some pictures of heavy sediment left in the bottom. Well, let me tell you, with a minimum of care, it stays clean and smooth. After each production we put approximately 1/3 cup of vinegar in the bottom, let it sit for about 15 minutes, then we go in with a nylon scrub cloth and wash the bottom and sides thoroughly. Every other time we also add a few drops of Dawn dish soap. We rinse it thoroughly after and refill for the next batch. A little thing like plugging the cord in is made even simpler with the little white mark on each cord that tells you when you have them properly seated. They have made it as carefree as possible. We start a batch in the morning, in the mid-afternoon and then at night.I highly recommend the H2O Labs Best-In-Class Stainless Steel Water Distiller for anyone who wants to live a healthier life. If you have had issues with kidney or bladder stones, using distilled water will significantly help you reduce your chanced of getting another one. City water is filled with so many caustic chemicals we would be shocked to know. Even well water is not what we think it is. I truly believe my families health has been made better because of this purchase. Thank you for your patience. You can trust this distiller.UPDATE A YEAR LATER:We loved this distiller until we started having issues with it stopping mid process. We contacted the seller and they said "No problem we will send out a replacement thermal control and that should take care of it." We waited and waited but no replacement part arrived. We placed a second call and was told it was still sitting there and they would send it out. We waited another two weeks and still no replacement part, so called again. This time they finally sent it but replacing the part did not work. Thank goodness we had purchased Asurion insurance so we contacted them and got our money back. The machine is good but don't buy from these folks. The customer service does not exist.

Cleans up beautifully with vinegar. Water is delicious. Stainless steel is very attractive. Best distiller I ever owned.

I'm not a great reviewer, so know that before proceeding. We have been filtering our water for years, after much research we made the decision to distill. It's been a solid month. We have distilled at least 3 gallons per day, every single day for 32 days. This thing is a tank. Even when getting it unpacked, it seemed very sturdy, solid, heavy. Very simple to operate, literally a button. Easy to clean, we "lightly" clean after every single use, it takes maybe 3-4 minutes, and then do a deep clean with vinegar about every 10 days. That takes maybe 15 minutes. One gallon takes +/- 5:30-6:00 hours. Currently, during the warmer times, we keep it in the garage. It does give off a fair amount of heat. It also about as loud as a medium sized floor fan. However, we have a good place for it in the winter and will likely move inside. The noise is not loud enough to deter us. Everything fits very snuggle (cords, lid etc) The thing just works, every time and honestly exceeded our expectations for quality of fit, function and appearance. If I had a "do-over", I'd for sure buy it again and would suggest it to anyone I know.

This superseded its' description in leaps and bounds. Great little machine well worth investing into. Very happy with the flavor of our water now. It's so clean and delicious having all the silt and excess minerals removed. We have well water and it's amazing how much 'junk' is in it. It also explains why the husband has had so many kidney stones and bladder issues. So glad we bought this!Update! We've had this wonderful machine since June 12th and have used it religiously every day. We are 64 years old, so not Popeye's by any means, but our energy level is amazing now. The husband and I have been going non-stop on outside projects, and we are lifting 350 pound awnings for a mare's motel all by ourselves!!! I kid you not. He was riddled with RA a year ago, and now it's arrested and he feels like he's 20 again. I have degenerative disk disease, and am a short 5' 5", yet I'm climbing horse corrals and lifting these monster 8' by 24' long enormous trussed horse awnings like I'm superwoman. This water is freaking unbelievable!!! We sleep like babies now--and in 44 years of marriage we've seldom slept that well. My husband had two huge kidney stones diagnosed before we started the distilled water--they are now gone!!! The gunk we see on the bottom of the machine tells us how much crap is in well water, and our well is 750' down. We do take supplements as we are not getting the minerals, but now we are thinking there were too many minerals and too much sand and other nasty unknowns that was making the water unhealthy. Mind you, we dove into this 'experiment' with open minds but not expecting much. We are still pinching each other in disbelief that we erected four of those enormous awnings completely by ourselves and zero pain the next day. ZERO! We drink it constantly as we crave it. For tasteless water, it is so very gratifying. I like tea with lemon, or just the water on ice with lemon and it is so darn good. Prior to this you couldn't get me to touch water for nothing. I was a diet coke gal, twice daily. Anything but water. Now all I want is this water. Weight loss, oh yeah! About 5 lbs in two months. Toxins literally pour out of us every day when we shower. Unbelievable! I know there's not a lot of information about the benefits of distilled water which is why we didn't expect much, but now that we have drank it religiously for over two months we feel absolutely wonderful. Another perk I've noticed is no morning brain fog when I wake up. But here's the real proof. Both of us had pretty bad blood pressure checkups prior to doing this, so we decided it would be fun to keep a written list of daily blood pressure tests for the both of us. He was always in the 150s or higher, and I have a problem with my temper so I would skyrocket into the 170s. Neither of us are heavy by any means either. Just stress from daily issues. Anyway, those readings have both plummeted to a lovely normal reading for the past two weeks for the both of us. If that's not proof of improvement, I don't know what is. So those nay-sayers that think distilled is horrible--what do you think they use for wine, beer, etc.? Duh! It's all distilled.

A WONDERFULLY made and designed product!!! Works PERFECTLY! High value. High quality. Noise level is low.
