Worth every penny
I've been drinking bottled water delivered to my doorstep for something like 25 years and I purchased this unit as a cost savings measure against the cost of bottled water and also to stop drinking water stored in plastic bottles. I've been using this little unit for just over a month, distill about 5 gallons a week, sometimes two or three gallons back to back and it just chugs away. It is a little noisy so it's best to turn it on as you walk out the door to go to work or turn it on at night and put it in a room where you won't hear it. Overall, it produces a nice clean tasting water. I live where the water is hard. Even after filling the unit with filtered water, I'm amazed at how much gunk is left after distilling the water. After a month of use, my body really does feel the difference.

After 2 years of service, bottom of distiller rusted and leaked into electrical base.
We enjoyed our distiller for 2 years. We used it about twice a week. Recently, the machine stopped after distilling water in the middle of a cycle. It did this several times before I took the top off, removed the screws, and cleaned it (but it wasn't very dusty at all). It still shut off shortly after starting the cycle. I then took a closer look at the base unit. When I lifted it, I was surprised to find that it was so heavy. When I tipped the base, water poured out of the outlet for the plug--not a good sign. I looked at the bottom of the stainless steel (?), and found dimples at the welds. There was evidence of rust around one of the welds, and a pinhole crack. I'm disappointed that we didn't get more use out of this machine.

Great Product, Great Seller
Since Sears quit selling a nearly identical item that I have run for over a decade, i found it's clone here. I bought this for my new Grand Daughter, as I am always amazed at the left over waste from city water in these units. I still use my Kenmore at home for my well water. My Son has already distilled over 20 gallons (since Christmas) with this unit in Vancouver WA. He is very happy, and his wife is now a believer in not using city water to make formula and other essentials.
The Company was outstanding! When Amazon refused to show me how to contact the company regarding speeding up my shipping, I did my own leg work and they were a PLEASURE to deal with!
My advise, buy the product and skip the middleman!
