This distiller met my needs. It fits nice on the counter, and has a clean look about it. The water from the tap, after distilled, leaves a lot of suspicious looking residue on that is too heavy to be carried up in the steam. It's bad, sort of like swamp water! Once the water is distilled, the taste is very clean. I wash my fruit and vegetable in the distilled water, and also use it to cook with, including using for tea, coffee and baking. I clean it by filling it up with some water, then adding citric acid. Letting it sit for a while, the residue along the sides from the tap water is clean and back to shining. Also, the bottom where the grime is left often 'cooks' in a little ring. That too is cleared off with citric acid. Then rinse, dry and it's ready to go again.
