This is a high-quality product, we have been running it for about 6 months and it works perfectly.

Here are the great things about this distiller:

1. This is as energy efficient as any distiller out there.

2. It produces great tasting water in quantities large enough so that we never run out.

3. We use this water for anything that goes inside our bodies and trust it.

4. Shipped exactly on time and was complete.

5. High quality stainless-steel construction looks great in our kitchen.

6. Heavy-duty parts, should last a long time.

7. It really is fully automatic.

Things to know:

1. Before you buy any distiller you need to understand something distillers use a substantial amount of electricity, more than 3kw hours/gallon. That''s not unique to this distiller but if you buy one without understanding this fact, you''ll be in for serious sticker shock when you get your next electric bill.

2. There are a few plastic parts the feed tube, the charcoal filter, the drip tube, and some of the internals of the spout.

3. I replaced the plastic feed tubing with copper tubing and did not use the in-line charcoal filter. We chose instead to have a whole-house charcoal filter and water softening installed. I definitely recommend soft water if you can it will greatly reduce the maintenance. There is a short length of silicon rubber tubing between the intake valve and the boiling chamber inside the unit, but silicon rubber is pretty inert and it''s upstream of the boiling chamber, so we decided to leave it.

4. It''s a little bit of a chore to get to the boiling chamber to clean it out, but the side spout to drain and flush the system is conveniently located.

5. This is a large unit, plan for space.

We''re very happy with the unit, it''s an impressive addition to our kitchen.
