Water tasted nice, jug needs a spout to pour, but it is also very heavy , only just over 2 1/2 litres water when it comes out into jug. Handle on jug awkard and fiddly to assemble and put on jug. IT took 2 hours on first use to distill water, but you have to throw this first lot away. Took 3 hours second time, why the difference I do not know I used a smaller jug to get water out of it as no way would it pour into my kettle without spilling everywhere! My water measured 003 on my water measure device. Also the water tastes very nice , but I will have to wait now until I get a separate kitchen from my sitting room as it is very hot when the distiller is on and it made my head feel bad.
