H2o Labs Model 300SS Countertop Distiller
Stainless-steel countertop distiller with a 304 steam path, porcelain nozzle insert, and borosilicate glass carafe - purest output, and the distilled water never touches plastic.
The verdict: No-contact plastic
A steam distiller with a stainless exterior, a 304 stainless steam chamber and condensing coil, and a porcelain nozzle insert so the pure water never contacts plastic on its way into the included borosilicate glass carafe. H2o Labs states all plastics are food-safe and out of the water path (no polycarbonate collection container). That makes it no-contact-plastic - one of the cleanest water paths here - but only on the 300SS; the cheaper 100SS variant ships a polypropylene carafe.

A countertop steam distiller with a stainless-steel exterior, a 304 stainless interior steam chamber and condensing coil, and a 565-watt heating element. Tap water boils to steam, recondenses through the stainless coil, exits via a porcelain nozzle insert, and collects in an included one-gallon borosilicate glass carafe. Distillation gives about the purest output of any option here - it removes minerals, metals, PFAS, fluoride, and microplastics. It boils with electricity, processes water slowly in batches, and needs periodic descaling.
Pros
- Purest output - distillation removes minerals, metals, PFAS, fluoride, and microplastics
- 304 stainless steam path plus a porcelain nozzle insert; no plastic in the water path
- Collects into a borosilicate glass carafe (on the 300SS)
Cons
- Distilled water is demineralized - many users remineralize for taste
- Uses electricity to boil; slow batch throughput
- Countertop footprint and periodic descaling required
- The cheaper 100SS variant ships a polypropylene carafe - avoid it for this use
Notes
- Carbon post-filter sachets are a consumable
