VEVOR Water Distiller, 4L/ 1.05 Gallon Water Distilling with Basic Button

I bought the VEVOR machine because I wasn't going to pay $5+ for a gallon of distilled water on the rare occasion I can find it, nor am I willing to replace my Keurig coffee machine annually. Our rural well water is very hard. We have an industrial grade water softener but it doesn't eliminate enough minerals to keep from destroying a coffee machine in less than a year or so. I also use a CPAP so I need distilled water for that. The pandemic has caused distilled water has become nearly impossible to find, even now during spring of 2023. On the rare occasion I can find distilled water in the store, it is horrendously over-priced. I've been using the VEVOR for about a month now. It works as advertised. Seems solidly built tho it is somewhat clunky to use. It takes up a lot of counter space while in use, so be aware of that. Unless you have a lot of counter space, this thing will probably not live on your kitchen counter. You'll have to figure out a place to stow it. That place needs to be near a sink for ease of filling with water and cleaning. You need to rinse out the mineral residue after every use. That's where the clunky part comes in. There are two AC cords. One cord connects the condenser (top unit) to the base (boiler unit), the other connects the base to your wall outlet. Both MUST be disconnected for cleaning or you could suddenly meet your maker. The base unit (boiler) is too tall to fit under most kitchen faucets. It is not submersible! You'll need a hand-held sink sprayer to rinse it out. It comes with a small amount citric acid, enough for 4 or so cleanings. You use that to dissolve and clean out the inevitable mineral build ups. Citric acid is cheap. Eventually you'll need to buy some once the limited supply they give you runs out. The instruction manual is some weirdly worded translation from Chinese into something that resembles English. But the operation is pretty obvious so you should be able to figure it out just from looking at the machine. It just boils and condenses water. It's not rocket science. The blue plastic collection bottle is poorly molded with rough edges where the cap screws on. No matter how tightly you screw on the cap it will leak unless you carry it completely upright. I suppose that could be fixed with a little bit of sanding or perhaps a cobbled gasket stuck into the cap. It's not enough of a deal for me to worry about. I'm not freaked out by a few drops of distilled water dripping out of the bottle as I carry it. Summary: It didn't cost much. If you only need a gallon of distilled water every other day or so, this unit should work out fine. It's not idiot proof, you have to be a bit careful with it.

I bought this specifically so I could stop constantly buying distilled water for our CPAPs, and it has worked great. We keep it in the bedroom and use the distilled water for both our CPAPs and my dogs’ water fountain. Using distilled water in the fountain has also helped reduce how often we need to replace the filter. I’ve run about 12 gallons through it so far, and it has been very easy to use. It’s quiet enough that I’ve run it overnight in the bedroom without it bothering me. One thing I particularly appreciate is that the collection bottle fits perfectly under my builder-grade craptastic bathroom sink, so filling it is easy and I don't have to play countertop Tetris every time I use it. After running that much water through it, the bottom of the distiller was starting to get pretty gross, but thankfully it comes with descaler. I usually use a water-and-vinegar solution when I descale things like coffee makers and my CPAP equipment, and that works well too. One thing to be aware of: the distilled water has an almost bleach-like smell when it's finished. It isn't actual bleach—the smell is from the filter—but it is noticeable. After everything I've run through it so far, though, I’m very happy with how it performs. For the price, I really don't think it can be beat. If you're buying distilled water regularly for a CPAP, pet fountain, humidifier, or other household use, this has been a great way for us to make our own instead of constantly hauling home jugs of distilled water.

I would like to preface with the simple fact, I do not have a long standing time with this product for any sort of extended usage, what I have is such an outstanding short time with it that I felt it necessary to review. I pondered purchasing this product for a bit before actually getting it, I needed it for a diffuser because my tap water has so much sediment in it you could quite literally taste it, and the thought of purchasing a gallon of distilled water almost a day for dealing with my high altitude dryness seemed a bit overwhelming, I also want to move away from the primo trips as I am a big water drinker, so I made the leap and good god have I noticed the difference. It actively runs fast enough to keep up with all my water in take, I have been slowly filling up my primo station and consistently keeping my diffuser topped off which I have been struggling to do at 50% power with filtration and I am not having any issues with it at 100%. By the second day I looked into my tank to see the residual sediment left from the distilling process and I have been sick to my stomach thinking of what I have been consuming, granted this the remnants of roughly 3 gallons worth of processed water, but jesus, having 3 gallons worth of tap water reduced down to 1 cup of sludge is a disturbing thought. The taste is amazing, there is no funkiness, there is no metallic taste, there is nothing but good clear water. If you are thinking about purchasing it, I would do so, I encourage it, I will hop back on here if it fails within a reasonable amount of time to update this review, if not, know that I am hydrated and happy with this purchase still.

This distiller seems to work well but it does have a few drawbacks. I purchased a MH distiller in 2011 and used daily so this will include comparison- the MH too has had issues due to wear n tear over the years and it was time for replacement, but noticing a big price increase these many years later I decided to try a different brand. Note that distillers do have upkeep and daily cleaning requirements, I know them well after a diligent 15 years but I still choose a distiller over throw away trash filters, plastic jugs, and heavy 5 gallon jug refills at the store. FL has very sedimenty water, and my husband says his tea and coffee taste better using distilled water over tap, naturally. The good: The fan motor is quieter, loved this! Starts dispensing water in 30 min compared to almost 60 of the MH. The cycle completes nearly 2 hours quicker as well. Note the fill line and pitcher hold slightly less water on Vevor but only about 8oz. It has a double level gasket on top compared to a single, which may contribute to it working faster. Plastic outside base compared to enamel, it's easier to clean and care for, similar to our tea kettle. Base is lighter weight, and top has a handle which is helpful. The spout is stainless and easier to use, compared to MH original plastic one that I literally fought with to remove to change carbon filter. The same: Gives off heat while brewing, noticeable in a small space so we brew in daytime in cooler months and over night in warmer. Stainless inside easy to clean with provided citric acid, or regular vinegar as I have done in past. I let sit a short time or over night, and I do not turn base on to heat unless there is something that is really stuck, but I have always used a plug-in timer to shut off before sediment burns on bottom- note that this unit will not automatically turn on with timer- you must push the button every time to start. The bad: As mentioned above the pitcher is slightly smaller, and the ability to set timer to start to come on automatically overnight- not deal breakers but inconvenient. The black color of top shows every water drop/spot and piece of dust. Some will be able to ignore this, but I find seeing and wiping off white streaks and spots daily a chore. I wanted a white unit but not available with a glass pitcher. The ugly: The glass pitcher spout is misshaped and it spills every time. To continue to sell without rectifying after years of complaints does not show good company standard. I considered returning this for a white one with plastic pitcher but opted to try a different company that seemed a little more proactive in customer service.

No notes! The distiller works as expected and dispenses quickly. The water is used for my humidifier, neti bottle, my dog, my hair, my face and any other use I can use. The only downsides are that it can be messy to clean and put water in and it’s quite loud for about 20 minutes, but I stopped noticing it after 1 week. While I don’t drink it, I do appreciate that it is better than the California water. I recommend this distiller!

I’ve owned three of these. The first lasted about a year—just outside the 12-month warranty. The second made it only six months before it started shutting off randomly mid-cycle, often before the water even boiled. It now requires constant manual restarts to get through a single gallon. I bought a third, but confidence is low. When I contacted Vevor for warranty support, they asked for video of the problem—then told me to upload it through a system that doesn’t even accept video files. Their own documentation lists only static image formats. The upload link they provide sends you to WeTransfer, which then tells you to email someone. Meanwhile, they suggest contacting Amazon for returns, even though Amazon won’t handle a warranty claim after the return window closes. In short, the product is cheap because it’s not built to last, and the warranty exists mostly on paper. You’re buying a short-lived appliance with the expectation of no meaningful support. If that tradeoff works for you, fine. But know what you’re getting into. Update: After 12 days of trying to get support for my second failed unit, I can confirm the warranty process is a bad-faith stall. I sent photos and uploaded the requested video using their own WeTransfer instructions, then posted the link in the message thread. Instead of reviewing it or addressing the issue, they repeated the same generic instructions and dragged the process out without resolution. Eventually, Amazon had to step in and issue a refund because Vevor refused to honor their own warranty. The product is cheap for a reason—and if it fails, you’re unlikely to get meaningful support.

The VEVOR Water Distiller has been an excellent addition to my home. It is easy to set up, simple to operate, and consistently produces clean, high-quality distilled water. The 4-liter capacity is perfect for everyday household use, and I appreciate being able to make distilled water whenever I need it instead of constantly buying it from the store. The dual temperature display is a great feature, allowing me to monitor the distillation process with ease. The 750W heating system works efficiently, and the machine runs smoothly while producing a generous amount of purified water. The included collection container is convenient and makes storage simple. I was also impressed by the solid construction and thoughtful design. Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward, and the countertop size fits nicely without taking up too much space. Overall, this water distiller offers excellent performance, convenience, and value. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable way to produce distilled water at home.

I bought this to have distilled water for my products that need it. I use it in my floor buffer, my steam irons, and many other items. I wasn't sure if I wanted to pay the extra for the glass "coffee pot" looking container when the plastic would work just fine... but... I am trying to get away from plastics. This glass container is not a weak pot. It is durable, like three coffee pots in one. The machine works great and even though it is a bit time consuming I love having the distilled water available when I need it. Great product

Feels high quality and works really well. Make sure to run it with citric acid relatively open to keep it clean and fresh.

Great quality and easy to use

An amazing little air still. It works perfectly! I've recommended this to all my friends.
