Tools and Hardware Reviews of Nutriteam Countertop Water Distiller Stainless, Glass Collection
Customer Review: Great Product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this distiller for about a month now. We normally make 2 gallons of distilled water a day. A couple weekends ago, we had a lot of company, and made 3 to 4 gallons a day over the holiday weekend.
I thought it might be a little bit of a hassle to always be making water, but it really hasn't been a problem. I start it before going to bed, and there is 1 gallon waiting when I wake. Part of that gallon is used to make coffee, and the rest goes in the 'fridge. I usually restart it in the morning before heading to work for our second gallon.
I had read reviews, either here or elsewhere complaining about the task of cleaning out this style of distiller. I have had no issues with buildup that is hard to remove. I normally rince out the chamber after each use. Once a week, I will use the included cleaner to remove any residue that has formed over the week. Honestly, there is almost nothing. I could probably go a month before having anything significant there. I guess that just means my source water is fairly clean. I do have a under cabinet filter for my kitchen faucet, so most sediment is already removed. To clean it, it's just a matter of filling the boiling chamber with water, adding a couple scoops of the cleaner, and turning the machine on without the top on it for 15 to 20 minutes. After that, you just dump it out and rince it. Any residue that had developed on the bottom is gone. By "residue" mine has only shown what looks to be a slight stain or discoloration. No rock formations for crusty growths.
There is no strange taste as I have read on a few reviews. Other than myself, there have been about 15 different people that have been here and drank some of this water since I started using this machine. No one detected anything strange with the taste. The comments from others saying the water had a metalic taste must be isolated issues.
My wife did not like using the plastic jug. The water coming out of the distiller was 105 to 110 degrees. Not exactly HOT, but still fairly warm. We did not detect any "plastic" smell or taste from any of the water that came out of the plastic jug. The material the jug is made from is supposed to be low in the "biphenol whatevers" but we choose not to use it just to be safer.
The glass jugs are VERY expensive, IMO. $100 for a jug seems overboard. I found a 1 gallon glass "cookie jar" at Wal*Mart for about $7. It had a metal screw on lid, similar to a lid on a Mason Jar. We tossed that lid, though. The edge sides of this jar are straight up, so it fits well under the spout from the distiller. If you have a jar with a "bottle shape", the opening of the jar will not align under the spout from the distiller. Right now, we are using a piece of tape to hold the filter to the outlet, since this jug will not hold the filter in place. I plan on using some of my woodworking skills to make my own lid that will cover the jug while making water and be able to hold the filter. The distiller needs to sit on something about 1" tall, though to accomodate this jug, otherwise you need to make slightly less than 1 gallon of water, otherwise my filter will stick into the water when it makes a full gallon. Easy fix. For that little "problem" it is well worth the trouble to save the $100 and use this cookie jar.
We also bought 2 glass water bottles from Wal*Mart that each hold about half a gallon. So, we have 1 gallon of cold water available in the fridge while another gallon is being made.
The fan on the top of the distiller makes a "hum" although it is not excessively loud. The microwave and dishwasher are definitely louder than the fan on the distiller. I really do not notice the hum from it anymore. The noise from the distiller was really my biggest concern before I got one. I was worried it was going to sound like the blender for 5 hours while making the water.
