DC HOUSE 1 Gallon Water Distiller Machine, 750W 4L Pure Distilled Water Maker Machine for Home Countertop Table Desktop, Drinking Purifier for Home Kitchen CPAP Hmidifiers with Pastic Container

I have had this distiller for about a month now. My house has well water that is very hard. In the past I just used tap water in my humidifiers, that caused awful build up. Then I started buying distilled water by the gallon; that was expensive. Now I pretty much make distilled water all day. The Distiller works as advertised and now my humidifiers are clean with no build up. I learned to wipe down the distiller between each batch. I also use the citric cleaner every few batches and it still looks new. I saw other reviewers talk about the heat, but I haven’t really noticed it. Maybe because it’s winter and the heat helps? I also like that the machine turns itself off automatically when the batch is completed. I not only would recommend this machine, I would buy another one if I needed it.

I finally caved and got a distiller to supply water for my husband's sleep machine. I now also take water to my parents. It makes it feel more woth the purchase to be sharing the savings with them. I know a jug of distilled water is only like a dollar, but I love that this reduces the waste of the jugs, and eventually, it will add up. It works well, fills up the jug fairly quickly, and is not too noisy.

Day 2 and everything is working great. A lot more sturdy than I thought. Really excellent product for the price. The glass pitcher is a great thing to keep the water from touching plastic. Water is very pure. Really happy! A+

I bought this so I wouldn’t have to buy, lug, and store gallons upon gallons of distilled water in my apartment to run the humidifier I use to keep my guitar from drying out and cracking in thecwinter air. This distiller works like a charm, so 4 stars. 1 star off because I do have a list of complaints: - I have very hard city water. The amount of junk left over in the metal tub after a cycle is shocking. It bakes on (stinks!) and is impossible to wipe off. Better than spewing it all into the air via humidifier though. - The cleaning process is both easier and harder than it looks. It ships with a bottle of citric acid crystals. Go ahead and order yourself a bulk 2 pound bag or two of those things, you’ll need them. Throw 3 or 4 tablespoons of crystals into a fully filled distiller tub, and run a cycle with the top off. The scale will disappear in about 30-40 minutes, no muss no fuss. I like to poke at the scale now and again with a spatula while this is going on, but I’m a neurotic overachiever. It is NOT clear or easy how (or whether?) to clean the top part with the coils and fan. Do these need to be unscrewed, taken apart, cleaned, reassembled? Who knows?? - This thing uses a lot of electricity and puts out a lot of heat. I ran it about 15 times and my power bill jumped $9 for the month (from $50 to $59, so it was noticeable). That could be because winter and price increase, or distiller use. Can’t tell yet. It does release a LOT of heat. I run it in my bathroom and it makes the room into a sauna. Great for winter! Toasty tile floor! That’s not great energy efficiency though. - It’s loud! I run it in the bathroom so I can close the door. If I ran it in my apt kitchen I would not be able to hear anything else, it’s about as loud as the over-stove fan set on low. - If you have long hair and run this thing on the floor, FOR THE LOVE OF CTHULU hold your hair back when you turn this thing on. The fan on top WANTS to grab your hair. You will cry. Over all, this thing does the job and even with my list of complaints and increase in electricity bill, it’s nice having distilled water on demand instead of having to go to the store and put more plastic jugs in the recycle bin where they probably won’t be recycled anyway. And even with that $9 jump in power bill, for at least 15 gallons worth of water it’s half the price of store bought.

This item works great. We purchased this to reduce the amount of plastic water bottles we were buying. We are making our water for our CPAP devices at home now, and this will pay for itself over time. It's also sobering to see the grit and dirt that is left behind in the chamber after distillation.

Just run my first time and ended up with 7ppm. No biggie. Then I did a second round and ended up with 6ppm. I expected way better. The handle is week and it does not feel secure to grab the container by it. I can see this giving out and breaking fairly soon. Glass container very solid, so to have such a week handle and its tightened all the way. Another thing that I find very negative is that you have to take the whole unit to dump out any water that is in there or when you clean. So now you are risking possible water drops getting in where the plugs are. I checked the manual and you can not take out the inner tank. I will give this a few more tries and if it actually goes to where it should be I will update. Not really hopeful right now. I need good and clean distilled water or its not usable for any of my uses. PS. Did 8 runs now and the lowest it goes down to is 4 ppm, wasting my water and electricity. It is going back and this is what it says when I chose to get my money back. Estimated refund timing: Refund is issued within 30 days after we receive the item.

We usually get our main source of water from a local RO water store that's just a few miles down the road from us. They were smart to do that, they are always busy, I'm sure due to the horrible water we have out here. I live in a suburb of a main city, we do not get the city water, instead we are well only. Some houses have private wells, I am in a large sub-division with about 400-500 houses, we are on a community well. The water is SO bad, we never drink it. I hate that we even have to shower in it and I hate the fact that we have to pay for this undrinkable water. I test it with our TDS meter, the meter says over 500 is undesirable, mine reads at 511. When we come home from the RO store with 5-5 gallon bottles (for our water cooler) and several 1 gallon bottles, that water reads 3. I thought having a distiller would make my life a little easier for the 1 gallon bottles, and it does! The distiller was very easy to set up, once we got our first batch of usable water from there, I tested it right away, it tested at 3, the same as our RO water. I was thrilled. After running it a few more times, it tested at 11, which is totally fine, my meter says anything under 50 is just about perfect! I've been running this machine every day since we got it, several times a day. Since I have 5 humidifiers running in my house I am constantly filling them. Having really dry air in the home is bad for the house and bad for your health. I Keep little humidity/temperature readers sitting all around my house, keeping my house at 50% humidity, so needless to say, I am constantly filling up my humidifiers, using my own distilled water. The only time my distiller catches a break is while we are sleeping. I don't run it at night, or when we leave in fear of a fire starting! It's not much bigger than a large coffee pot and doesn't take up much room. I have plenty of counter space to keep it out of sight (for the most part) and out of the way. A few things to note: The filter that came with it was great, my water was reading between 3 and 11. Since they don't sell the filters, I had to buy some from a different company, Green Piece, they work great in there, but my water now reads at 30-33 which is still fine because it's under the 50 mark according to my TDS reader and definitely good enough for my humidifiers and my water heater kettle (which we use for pour over coffee) We don't drink this water, but we could. We just use the water cooler for that. * A LITTLE UPDATE ON THE ABOVE * I've been consistently testing my water (to know when I should change the filter) and it's been reading at about 9 to 11 each time I test it, so it really does an amazing job at distilling. I'm not sure why my filters were reading higher in the above statement, but they are lower now :-) Another thing to note is: It's not very easy to change out the filter. You have to remove part of the rubber seal and lift the metal flap up, which isn't easy, I don't do it because I'm worried about cutting my finger, that metal seems sharp. Plus, it needs a little muscle I think. My husband does it, but he has to use a little force (and he's super strong) so we decided he would be in charge of changing out the filter. *A LITTLE UPDATE ON THE ABOVE. I bought another distiller so I can have 2 running at the same time (one I keep in the kitchen in my rec room) Anyway, my husband wasn't home when I set up the new one, I realized it was quite easy to take the filter compart off to put one in, so I tried it the same way on this one that I'm reviewing, I had no trouble getting it off and back on. So either my husband got it wrong (which is surprising because he's the family "handyman") or it just loosened up over time. Either way, it's not as bad as what I thought. The other thing to note is, if you are running really hard water through it like us (and yes we have a water softener) I would clean it out every time you fill it. I unplug the machine, take it to my sink, use a little water and a clean paper towel and wipe it all out then rinse it a few times with a little dish soap. It's pretty gross in there after it distills the water and has a foul smell if you do it when the machine is still warm. At least we know it's working. It does have some hard water spots at the bottom of the machine, which did come out the first time I cleaned it. Also, You don't get a full gallon of water from this, once it's distilled you get nearly a full gallon, probably close to a cup or more of water would still be needed to fill it up! The first time I cleaned it, I was confused about the cleaner that came with it and actually ran that through my machine, later to find out from Rufus that you aren't suppose to do that, you just let it sit in there and then dump it out. It didn't hurt the machine from one time, but that's not how it works. All in all I am happy we have this, and for the price, if it lasts a year, I will be happy.

I am really happy with the DC House 1-gallon water distiller. It is a fantastic product that requires almost no setup right out of the box. Using it is incredibly easy since you simply fill the chamber with water and press a single button to get it started. While a full cycle does take about four hours to complete, the wait is absolutely worth it. The generous amount of clean, distilled water it produces in one run easily justifies the processing time.

I purchased the unit because I have a CPAP and didn't want to lug around jugs from stores to home. Easy to set up, easy to use, and not loud. Totally worth the money.

Received December 10 2024. The steel 304 bottom, food grade steel, began to stain within first month and continued to become degraded until April 22 2025, when my sprout seeds failed to sprout using distilled water from the distiller. Also crock of sauerkraut fermenting turned to mush. I bought this last November, delivered December 10 2024. Shortest life of any distillers. All distillers made with 304 steel (food grade) may not last one year. Vendor ignoring request for replacement or refund. There listed email address returns mail as undeliverable. Would not buy from them again.

I have used more expensive water distillers of the same size and general look that have heated to a very high temperature such that when the water drips out of the spout it is very hot. This unit simply was warm to the touch on the outside container when dispensing the water - though the water drops coming out were cool, and not hot whatsoever.
