Water Distiller 1.1 Gallon Countertop Distilled Water Maker - Pure

In this review the focus is on a compact countertop distiller that aims to deliver reliably pure water for daily use. The CO-Z 1.1 Gallon Water Distiller is intended for people who want a straightforward way to remove chemicals, VOCs and solids from tap water without complicated filters. The single biggest reason to buy is its consistent distilling process: a 750W unit that produces low-ppm water at roughly 0.3 gallons per hour and holds about 1.1 gallons, making it a practical choice for a small household or dedicated appliance tasks.

Key Features

• High-capacity distilling: The 750W heater produces water at about 2 ppm and distills roughly 0.3 gallons per hour, providing a steady supply of purified water.
• Generous reservoir: The 1.1 gallon (4L) capacity reduces refill frequency and covers routine drinking and cooking needs for one to a few people.
• Food-grade construction: Interior components are 304 stainless steel and the pitcher is BPA-free plastic, which helps prevent corrosion and keeps water contact surfaces safer.
• Automatic safety features: The unit shuts off automatically at high temperature or low water level and can be restarted with a reset button, simplifying unattended use.
• Multipurpose use: Distilled water from this unit is suitable not only for drinking and cooking but also for coffee equipment, humidifiers, CPAP machines and small aquariums.
• Easy maintenance: A supplied cleaning powder and clear instructions make limescale and sediment removal straightforward.

Who It's For

This distiller is ideal for homeowners or renters who want an on-demand source of distilled water without relying on bottled supplies and for users who must supply distilled water to appliances such as CPAP machines or humidifiers. It is also useful for coffee hobbyists and small lab-like tasks where consistent purity matters.

Those who need very high daily volumes for large families or commercial kitchens should look elsewhere, because the 1.1 gallon capacity and 0.3 gallons per hour output are best suited to small households and point-of-use needs rather than heavy-duty continuous production.
