Megahome Water Distiller, White Enamel, BPA-free Plastic Collection

If you care about the quality of your water, then this is definitely for you. Anyone willing to read past corporate propaganda knows that the store-bought charcoal filters (things like Brita, Pur) don't actually work very well at all at removing sediment. They simply clean up the taste so that choking down poisonous city water is more tolerable. Reverse osmosis can do a better job at removing sediment, but still does nothing for bacteria, and just as with any water filter, will actually begin PRODUCING additional bacteria once the filter has been in use a little while. But none of those issues need to be worried about with a distiller like this one. There are no filters to change, and all the bacteria gets killed when the water is boiled. (Of course in no situation is ALL bacteria killed, but this is as good as it can be) So the beauty of this product is that you buy it, and you're done for life. (Or until it breaks, which I have not seen happen yet with anyone's that I know) Now the product does technically come with filters that you are supposed to use that the water runs through after it has been boiled and cooled down. I do not use them however, but if you chose to, they would be much much cheaper than Pur filters. You also will need to clean this thing quite frequently, (will vary depending on how bad your water is) because with each gallon of water you will actually SEE all the dirt and crap left behind. After only a few gallons it will start to build up to gross levels, and will need cleaned. Some quick bulletpoints on the important details: -Makes 1 gallon at a time, which will take about 6 hours. -The electricity required to make 1 gallon is approx 3 kWh (which in my area is about 25 cents worth, which is still WAY cheaper than buying distilled water) -It will make the room it is running in quite hot, as it is boiling water for 6 hours. Plan accordingly and place it in your basement or an open room that won't get super stuffy quickly. I made the mistake of having it in my bedroom, which would get up to 95 degrees within an hour of starting this thing -YOU SHOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT! Buy it and share the bounty of clean water with all you see. Your body will thank you, and so will everyone you bless with clean water. If you are a skeptic, then just see the proof for yourself. If you know someone that has one of these, have them clean it out completely, then run it with different kinds of water. When I bought mine I used it to show a diehard Pur filter fan that it really wasn't doing anything for them other than masking the bad taste. In fact, since their filter was behind on being changed, when we did a gallon of water from it in the distiller, it actually looked worse than when we did it straight from the tap. To also prove to this skeptic that most bottled water is not in fact a rip off, and there is a reason you pay more for it, we ran a gallon of Aquafina water, and as expected, it left no bad residue behind, proving it is in fact cleaner than what you get from the city. I guess the only bad thing I'd say about this particular one over any other is that it is clearly made by a Japanese company, as evidenced by the HORRIBLY written English manual. (I mean it's bad that the manual is so bad, not necessarily because it's made by a Japanese company) Fortunately this is an incredibly simple device to use. Anyone should be able to mostly figure it out themselves, and if not, just the pictures in the manual should be enough...

I bought 2 of these units a year ago. I start both of them every night before bed and in the morning we have two delicious gallons of distilled water to enjoy all day. The first thing I did after receiving the distillers was to order two, 1 gallon GLASS pitchers to replace the plactic jugs the distillers came with... I don't care for plastic touching my water. Because the pitchers were too tall to catch the water dripping out, I simply lifted the distillers higher by placing both distiler units side by side on top of a 3 inch platform I made. Now they could accomadate the height of the taller pitchers. Works like a charm. Additionally, I pushed wedges underneath the pitcher bases to slant them towards the distiller's water nozzle to perfectly to catch the drops of water as they come out. We couldnt be happier with this setup. The distillers are perfect and have shown no signs of wear or misfunction after a year of daily use. Highly recomend. They run at night when electricity is cheaper in Southern CA and the noise is unnoticeable while we sleep.

I had been researching these for months not knowing if the extra money for this unit was worth it. Trust me, it is. I've been using this a few times a week for 2 months now and I am kicking myself for not buying it sooner. It's well made, it's quiet and it works beautifully. It does take 3-4 hours to distill one gallon but that's faster than the cheaper versions and worth the wait knowing it won't break or leak. Wonderful machine. UPDATE - It's been a year now and I'm still using this amazing device without any issues. I have 2 humidifiers and the distilled water is for those. About every 2 or 3 weeks I run it to fill 5 gallon jugs and then I clean it and put it away. It has paid for itself by now for sure and I love not having to lug gallon jugs home from the store now. I wish I had bought it sooner. UPDATE 2 - It's been nearly 2 years now and I calculated how many gallons I've distilled -- 92 gallons as of what's being processed right now. It's still working as flawlessly as it did the day I got it. No leaks, easy to clean and no issues. I've recommended this to a lot of people now who've had the same experience.
