VIVOHOME 1.6 Gallon/6L 900W Water Distiller Countertop

Love this one so far! The prev brand we had is now $300 to replace. Figured we’d try this one out for 1/3 the price. Good choice so far! This one is much quieter than our last. I also love that it’s a gallon and a half instead of just 1 gallon like our old one since we go through it so fast. We run this water into a brita 2gallon canister. Water tastes amazing! Quick and easy setup. Since this is our third water distiller we are familiar with how to position the spout just right so it doesn’t drip on the counter. We will be purchasing a second one right away to have as a backup for this price and size. We haven’t had it long enough yet to judge its durability. The only thing we would like better is if it had a glass carafe to hold the water instead of plastic. I was going to use the glass one we had from the last machine, but it’s only a gallon, so it wouldn’t be able to hold the larger quantity of water without emptying part way through each cycle.

I’m absolutely thrilled with the VIVOHOME Water Distiller Countertop 1.6 Gallon/6L 900W! From setup to first use, everything was straightforward and hassle-free. The unit feels solid and well-built, and the smart switch makes it incredibly convenient—just set it and forget it while it produces clean, pure water. The distilled water tastes crisp and fresh, and I feel confident knowing it’s free from impurities. I love that it’s large enough for home or office use without taking up too much counter space. The included filter works perfectly, and cleaning the machine is quick and simple. Overall, this distiller is a game-changer for anyone wanting pure, safe drinking water every day. Highly recommend for home or office—it’s worth every penny!

I have been extremely satisfied with the VIVOHOME water distiller, despite some initial reservations in buying one. My family and I live in a very dry, high desert climate, and run a couple of high volume humidifiers. Our tap water is also hard and has a strong chlorine taste. I got very tired of getting nickeled and dimed to death on $2-3+ gallon bottles of distilled water, and just did the math on buying a distiller. I honestly don’t know why more people don’t own one now, after a few months of use! Each batch nearly fills a one gallon bottle to the top, so the water capacity is perfect. The water tastes and smells like distilled water, which is to say it doesn’t taste or smell like anything. The bottle is easy to use, it has never leaked a drop, and the self-contained, clean looks are great. Cleaning takes almost no time, just use 1-2 teaspoons of citric acid, HOT water, and turn it on for about 15 minutes. The hard water residue fizzles away nicely. I haven’t timed exactly how long it takes to distill a gallon, but my guess would be about 2-3 hours. Seems to be faster if you use hot water (obviously). As with any device that heats water to boiling, use common sense—don’t go pulling the lid off right or dumping water in to clean right after it finishes distilling. THE IMPORTANT PART: aside of whatever the cost is for electricity, citric acid, and filters, we haven’t spent a penny on distilled water since buying this awesome tool. After we distilled enough to pay for it, it’s now saving us money. We kept about 12 gallon bottles and one for tap water, and now have 12 gallons of emergency water on hand as well. If you’re in an area with questionable or nasty tap water, this will be much cheaper than a water filter (we tested that as well). Though some people say that dH2O can be hard on the stomach, I haven’t experienced it, nor can I find any studies to confirm. The only thing missing would be essential minerals. Fine by me, as the chlorine taste also disappears. If you’re on the fence like I was, go for it! You won’t be disappointed, and it’s super easy to clean and maintain, and you won’t have to needlessly buy a bunch of 1 gallon bottles.

This is my 2nd home water distiller and I'd have it for about a year. Still working and going strong except the power cord blew out recently and the customer service was excellent, they sent me a replacement under included warranty. It's much quieter than the last distiller I had and easy to clean. I use a descaling solution every week or so.

So sorry there is not a zero stars option. Absolutely the worst product I have ever bought. I bought this one because it came highly recommended. It is sitting on a perfectly flat level surface and is correctly installed, and only about half of the water goes into the tank while the rest of it runs all over the counter, drip by drip. I tried turning around the metal receiving angle, then propping up the side away from the distillery by about a half an inch, as recommended by the company, and more water is going into the receiving tank now, but I should not have to do this. All it would take would be for the manufacturer to make the distribution spout about a half inch longer and all the water would go into the tank but they cheaped out by shortening the spout. It takes forever for 1 gallon of water to be processed, and then I only have about half of a gallon because the rest is all over the countertop. Very disappointed. Oh, and as some people have mentioned, it is loud but I'm not bothered by that. I'm bothered by a simple adjustment that the company could make that would keep this from happening. As the manufacturer shows, the open side of the receiving metal angle is facing toward the distiller. They discuss that one way of taking care of this problem is to turn out so that it faces the other way. That's not the way the product was built; they also suggest propping up the side away from the distiller. You shouldn't have to do that when you're on a level surface. Note a toothbrush underside is being used to prop up a tank because this seemed to be the right size.Junk junk junk!

I use a bedside humidifier every night which requires approximately 1 gallon of distilled water. At $1.50 a gallon at the store, that’s $45.00+ per month. This unit has already paid for itself! Yes, it can be a bit loud, but I keep it on my kitchen counter and it doesn’t disturb anything. It does take about 4 hrs. to distill a gallon, but you don’t need to “babysit” it. As far as durability, I haven’t had it long enough to tell, but I wipe the interior debris ( likely iron from tap water) each time after use.

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.

Love this thing. Use it for my CPAP, humidifiers, robot vacuum/mop, making baby formula, Houseplants, my fur baby’s automatic water fountain, bottle warmer, and so many more! BEWARE: First two full runs of this machine is said to not be safe for drinking. I just want people to know that in case you miss that part. I just used it for mop water. I put the metal piece for the gallon upside down because I noticed that if I have it up the water that drips down follows along the inside and drips around the opening of the gallon rather than inside it. Or you could just like not use the metal piece or you can use a silicone funnel. Love this machine and it is just a tank literally lol. Not too heavy, but he gets the job done. No odor at all. It seems very durable. The only annoying thing is getting water in it because I can’t fit in my sink, so I gotta kinda hold it at a weird angle and spray into it. Also, don’t forget to plug in the top lid as well. Otherwise you’re just boiling water and it’s probably gonna do little to nothing. I wouldn’t have cabinets or anything above this guy as just a precaution so you don’t accidentally ruin your cabinets if you forget to plug in the top lid or you’re cleaning it with the lid off and just forget that this is a lot of hot steam. When you run it normally though it is totally fine and does not release any moisture at the top. Very easy to clean if you use citric acid that they give you or buy some at the store for cheap. Just make sure that you have the lid off when you’re cleaning it. Overall, great easy use and easy to clean!

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!!

This is an excellent unit, I’ve been using it almost daily for about 2 months now, and I’ve even used it twice in a day (letting it cool off between cycles) with no problems. It works perfectly for my needs, my tap water smells like a swampy lake sometimes, and has a reddish tint to it. There are some VOCs in my water where sometimes even after distilling it still smells swampy, so I just put it through a Brita filter to take the rest of the smell away and then I add a tiny bit of concentrated trace minerals, and it tastes nice and fresh like water from BC! I highly recommend this unit, I am very happy with my purchase and would purchase again. 😊

i am surprised how dirty the fresh city water is

OK, so I have gone thru at least 4 of the vevor smaller version. This one whilst I have only run it twice, seems better. I use this for all the household's drinking consumption, including cooking, etc.. i star decucted for the plastic resevoir/jug. As well as the messed up design: resevoirdoes not line up with spout, its a smidge too tall. Ridiculous!!. UPDATE: I now have it sit on a 1/4i nch placemat, and now it lines up. Sort of annoying but at least the countertop is doubly safe.

fonctionne très bien assez rapide
