Foarte bun pentru prețul plătit. Dacă nu ai mult de procesat e ideal pentru uz casnic.

I bought it to distill water but I can't believe how much water is required to make 2 cups (is as far as I got). Better for alcohol distillation which evaporates faster than water. Hoping to be able to make essential oils soon, wish I could cool it without wasting a lot of water. I used the excess to water my whole garden and flowers to get only a cup or 2 of distilled water. I even added ice and it melted so fast. I'd appreciate any recommendations to use less water. Great product otherwise.

I use it to distilll water... I decided to buy this as a smaller repalcemebnt of my bigger 8 gallon one which takes over so much of my stove range real estate. Moreover , the lid should be with more than 4 latches to hold it down.. because of great circumference the lid edge is not thick enough to keep the pail sealed with steam in it that keep escaping through the edge .. I figure tha tthe smaller 5 gallon wont have same issue as the lid is smaller and the stainless steel lid is inversely more rigid.. Morever, it takes longer to get the 8 gal one to get steam than 5 gallon but this will mean more frequent reflling for the latter while the larger 8 gallon allows you to forget it for much longer between refillings. I still have to use 4 mini vise pliers to pinch the edges between the four latches all around to keep the steam in instead of hissing through the edge which is not energy efficient. As for water distilling, you must not allow any steam to escape throughout the system from pail to the receiving pail.. if steam escape , this mean wasted energy and longer to produce distilled water. I live in a state where well water is everywhere. I got tired of seeing white chalk film at bottom of my pots and pans.. Wtih distilled water, you dont see any anymore.. I use it for making coffee, rice, etc. it taste better without the well water chalk ./ The brass tubes are prone to leaking steam though.. I wrap special tape over the fittings and the ends of the pipes where you use nuts and seal washers.. they leak steam The steam distiller needs to be redesigned better to keep steam in. and they should come up with replacement seals and nuts and brass tubes .... it is hard to make rep;lacement brass tubes by bending it in circles and bend elbows to fit.. I had to improvise with better fittings and n uts and seals myself by looking for them in the interent. The steam distillers are desgined poorly. I need distilled water badly that I am forced to buy what I can find.. and

The price is unbeatable. A very good starter still. I wish I could order spare parts like gaskets, covers and pipes.

Build quality is why I only have it 4 out of 5 stars. The handles are under sized and flimsy, carrying the pot more than 1/2 full it feels like they are bending under the weight. I bought the 5 gal version years ago and the handles were much better quality. The lid fit is slightly smaller than the outer lip of the pot so the fit is tight. Over all it works fine, it’s cheap, and does the job.

Sehr gutes Preis/Leistungsverhältnis. Gut verarbeitet und gut zu bedienen. Zum Schnapsbrennen aber wohl kaum geeignet. Gerät wurde sehr gut verpackt und sehr schnell zugestellt. Die Bedienungsanleitung könnte besser sein.

The still works great except for the fermentation procedure. It is very difficult to seal of the tank and let the bubbler work

Works pretty good wish it had bigger copper pipe with unions i will modify mine smooth pipe would make it little faster to run also. But overall great 👍 👍for the price good quality products..

Great looking device, love the idea of making alcohol for bartering. Unfortunately when I received the unit no directions were present, hence the lesser ratings.

Haven’t used it yet but it looks like probably worth the money I paid for we shall see
