Customer Reviews for VEVOR Water Alcohol Distiller, 8 Gal/30 L, 304 Stainless Steel Still with 6-Lap Coil, Home Distillery Kit with 5 Kg Output per Time, with Thermometer Vinometer Pump, for Whiskey Brandy Essential Oil

It took me 2 days to figure oithow to get the seal on correctly. But after that it worked fine.I used it to desalinate water.

Great looking still. Will update once I use it. Hydrometer broken upon arrival, but I don't really care because I have a couple already. Includes lots of extra stuff that I didn't expect..cheesecloth for straining mash, air lock for fermenting in pot.

The still is built quite well. It is stainless steel of good thickness. It works well, and it seems it will last some time. The false perforated bottom can be handy for brewing beer. The column has an interesting shape. It has a perforated plate and ceramic balls are included as a packing. The thermometer is at just the right position (height of condenser vapor inlet). The condenser seems overdimensioned. It consists of two parts: the vapor condenses on the outside of a corrugated stainless steel coil in which water flows, and is subcooled inside a similar coil around which water flows. The wide variety of included accesories is a nice touch. Everything needed to run it is included. The only complaint I have: the bottom of the pot is convex, so it wobbles on a flat surface and this also hinders heat transfer (e.g. from a ceramic heater).

Delivery fast! The goods were complete! It works properly. So far, a test of distilled water production. Great satisfaction!

Muy buen producto

Updated review after several uses.Arrived almost a week before expected which was great. All noted parts included - no dents or dings!Fairly bummed about one thing. Other reviewers mentioned that, while the product description didn't note it, their boiler arrive with a drain spout. Mine DID NOT so do not take that for granted. I had intended to install an internal heating element through the drain port, but I'll have to settle for my gas stove.I am VERY happy with this still so far. This was an upgrade from my 5 gallon, and an upgrade it is. While I'm used to using a doubler, the column (football) here has been producing a solid 120p or 60% ABV on first distillation with the use of column packing. No complaints there! Last note - don't let the photos fool you. This still (18.5 gallon) is HUGE. You'll probably need a buddy to help lift it when completely full. My poor wife....PROS:-Sturdy construction-All parts included-Ugly welds in places, but zero leaks-Makes shine

Ordered this after seeing a guy on YouTube using it.Love the set up great design and works very well have used it 3 times now.Problems I had was missing one of the tri clamps contacted the company and they replied next day sent them pics of the still and the missing clamp and they gave me a refund enough to by a clamp off ebay so all is well.Couple other minor issues but over all a great still
