 Great MachineAug 31, 2009

Note::: this is a review of the old model that had the plastic water container. Amazon has changed the description to show the newer 4000 with the glass container. (10/1/11)
We bought our distiller, which is like this one, years ago under the Kenmore name. We purchased it because we moved into a house with well water and we were expecting our first baby... and well, you know how it is, we were worried about water quality.
Well our darlin' is now 9 years old and the distiller is still going strong, providing us with flavorless water for drinking. Having lived with well water now, I can tell you that it prolongs the life of coffee machines and steamers by reducing mineral deposits on heating elements and what-not.
And we liked this machine enough that we have purchased another Waterwise unit. This second unit is more attractive, but to tell you the truth, I like this older version better. For one thing, it doesn't have any plastic tubing which can crack and/or leave plastic particles in the water.
If appearance isn't a problem, I'd definitely buy this distiller. This system is just simple and best. Ours has run for years and the only thing I would do differently is that I would clean it with vinegar more often so the mineral deposits wouldn't build up and make the interior so unaesthetic.
Notes: Like our other Waterwise, this distiller is fairly noisy.

 Waterwise 4000 Water Steam Distiller - Glass Jug / ContainerApr 12, 2011

Purchased this about 2 months ago. I live in the mountains and our water comes out of a spring, which is exposed in a creek for about 10-15 feet. I am gratefull to no longer be exposed to the high doses of chlorine and who knows what else through our water as I was living in the city where you could literally smell it in the water. But we do not have a effective home filtering system to weed out any living org.s as I would like. I have kidney issues due to my ignorant diet and life style of old.
I now need to baby my organs and have adapted a much healtier diet and lifestyle and have experienced many benefits. Although I have more energy, no headaches and heart burn, warts, bladder infections and other afflictions of years ago, I have to be very carfull what I take in especially where my liver and kidneys are concerned! I was purchasing nearly 20 gallons of distilled water weekly for tea, drinking and produce wash and soaking. What a pain! The cost may have only been about 70 cents a bottle but the lifting,transporting and storing was for the birds. Considering that these also come in plastic bottles that have sat on a truck and in a warehouse and in my trunk, I can only imagine the contaminants I was still taking in.
This distiller just had to be given a chance. I dont have alot of money so I want the most "bang for my buck" and my health resonably possible.
I have worked this baby to the max., sometimes pushing it to pump out 2-3 gals a day. Has worked wonderfully! I know many reviewers dont like the glass jug with it.......I however do. I have not attached the handle and it fits just fine up next to the distiller. I just need to be extremely carefull to not drop when moving it.
I have so benefited from this appliance I am considering purchasing one for a friend with health and water issues. Only thing is I think I will get same distiller only not pay the extra for the jug and just tell her to find a glass jar or jug that might best suit her.The glass jug is really thin and seemns easy to chip or break. I have my eye open for a thicker one for myself as well. Probably for less than $45.
I highly recommend this distiller. If I can give it longer breaks I try and pour some white vinegar in and let it soak in distiller overnite or while I am out for the day, then wipe and rinse it out before next batch. Easy enough. Gratefull to have this appliance :o)

 May be a hazardJan 30, 2010
By Citris1
After two years the thermostatic switch in my Waterwise 4000 started going wacky. After the unit finished distilling the water it would shut itself off. But then for some reason it would turn back on again. I am afraid it has become a fire hazard.

great itemJan 23, 2011
By pinegreen

I recently purchased this item and am very happy with it. I am happy with the quality of the product. It was very easy to put together and get started distilling water. The only negative for me is the design of the glass pitcher. I transfer the distilled water from the glass pitcher to a plastic jug in order to store the water in my fridge. The lip on the glass pitcher will dribble water every where when you start to pour from it. You have to be very careful. My solution is to use a large funnel to catch the dribble as I pour the water into the jug.
Other than that design flaw, I am happy with this product.
It does what it says it will do. I have a friend who says hers has operated , trouble free for a number of years and I hope mine will do so also. I would recommend purchasing this to anyone who wants pure, safe drinking water.

My identical Kenmore has been excellent for 15 yearsSep 05, 2010
By Victor D. Delprete
"asus"
Fifteen years ago I bought a unit that looks exactly like this one at Sears (Kenmore), and I still use it everyday.. So far, not one problem.
It takes about 6 hours to distill a gallon, and the fan is loud, but I'm used to it and just keep several gallons around all the time, letting it run all night while I sleep.
