Summary: 5 Stars
I bought the Waterwise 9000 last spring. Since, I have distilled 200+ gallons. The items uses 790 watts when running. Cost in my rural area is about 25 cents of electricity per gallon. If home I can produce 4 gallons a day but usually produce 1-3 gallons per day. A hard round ring of deposits builds up inside/bottom in the shape of a horseshoe where the heating element is attached. I usually clean it out every 3 cycles (3 gallons). Best way to clean is pour 1/2 cup of white vinegar with some water so an inch and a half is in the container. A couple hours later just rinse it out. It can be scrubbed out but you have to do it with tongs and a scrubber since your hand will not fit inside to get to the bottom. About every 20 gallons I scrub the entire inside because the plastic walls (metal bottom) get a soft buildup of deposits (easily removed). I use the distiller in my basement because it does give off heat, great for winter, but not for a hot summer day in the kitchen. I did run it once without a proper seal (lid not on right) and steam/water was leaking but it was just water so cleanup was simple. I do put hot water from the tap in it when I use it. Never tried it using cold water, probably will take longer. I hope it doesn't break before I break even with cost, but to date (26 Jan 11) it has never failed me. I reuse gallon distilled water bottles bought from the store. A few I have refilled more than 30 times each. You can refill right after it shuts down but be careful the interior is full of unpressurized hot steam. The only thing I don't like about the product is the delay of cleaning of the deposits (sits idle). We stopped making coffee here because (even after cleaning regular with vinegar) our coffee pots would fail in a couple months. With this cheap distilled water I can make coffee every day without damaging the unit. One last tip. Use a 5 gallon container with spigot and cap (large enough you can fit your hand into). This allows you to quickly empty the holding tank and start it again and allows you to build up a few gallons for filling gallon jugs as you use them in the kitchen. Hope this information was helpful.
