Makes great distilled water- A few gripes. - Ryan Bowen, Jul 16, 2009

I purchased this a few weeks ago for my girlfriend, who only drinks distilled water.

Positives:
The water tastes great
Making distilled water at home is easy and SO convenient.
Easy to clean, design is nice and contemporary.
When you see what's left in the kettle, you may never drink tap water again. There is about a teaspoon of chemicals (fluoride, chlorine, etc.) and salts left after each gallon I distill (Los Angeles city water...)

Negatives:
The carafe is annoying to pour from when full. Almost impossible to not spill a little- I have now gotten in the habit of immediately moving the distilled water into another jug and starting a new pot right away.

I would give this product 5 stars except for the carafe issue.

Note: I agree with other posters that suggest that you start with hot water in the kettle. This saves at least 20-30 minutes in the process.

Incredible - S. Hubbard, Jun 13, 2009

I have always wanted a water purifier, this 8800 distiller is recommended by Ted Broer a health nutritionist. Previously I used bottles of water never really knowing if it was really mineral or tap water. I have been so impressed with this distiller that I wished I'd bought it years ago. The water is so pure and refreshing to drink, it tastes amazing, I use it for cooking and hot drinks as well. We forgot once to use the distlled water and accidently put in the kettle tap water to make a coffee, believe me it was horrid - we could really taste the difference. The only down side to distillers is that they really heat up the house - bad for summer time but great for the winter. Hope this helps. I would by this ten time over such an excellent product. Thank you.

Do Not Buy From Waterwise! - Chuck Hart, Apr 30, 2009

Waterwise has an awful customer service and does not stand by their products. I spent hundreds of dollars on this distiller just 4 years ago and it broke down twice, costing me 80 dollars each time for repair and shipping. The second time they actually sent it back broken and leaking. They did not agree to repair it for free after they made it worse.I am not giving them another cent, so it's going into the trash.I'll now buy one from another company. A while back their shower filter cracked on me after just 2 years and they wouldn't stand by that either. So I bought from another company.They don't value my business, so I am done with them.

TASTES LIKE PLASTIC - Brittni Phillips, Sep 03, 2008

This water distiller makes the water taste like plastic. I guess this company thinks that 'fresh clean sweet tasting water' tastes like plastic.. I don't know what I was thinking when I bought a water distiller with a plastic container..

Plus when its running it heats up the whole kitchen.. great for winter.. not in the middle of summer...

I guess it will be good in a survival situation.. if our water is tainted.. but still we would be drinking plastic water.. which in my mind wouldn't be much better for you..

Oh well. I'm going to have to keep it cause its return date passed. We kept trying to distill in it.. in hopes that the plastic smell/taste would wear off after a few uses.. it helped a little bit.. but not much.

Unhappy with model 8800 - Sally Collins, Aug 04, 2008

I've had to replace the steam pipe six times in the past 4 years 2 months. Currently, the distiller is leaking/losing equal to 1 inch of water in carafe. Water accumulates in the upper chamber above the kettle/boiler where the fan is located. Water and electricity don't mix. Not a good sign. Pain in the neck to ship for repairs.
