Pros & Cons
Pros
The gas burner heats it more evenly and doesn’t give it the thumping/bounce that the electric hot plate does. The stainless steel components are easy to clean.
This is based on my own use and experience. Slower is ideal. Ya just have to do a little tweaking here and there find out what works best for ya. It's funny, but dangerous.
Cons
Just no power or starting rotation upon plug-in to verified good outlet. If i can't find replacements now for a part that will inevitably need replaced, there's no guarantee one will ever be available. For your issue, you could directly contact amazon... Read More
Thumper keg is a false claim as i learned after purchasing 2 of these. Thumper pot way to small. No downspout so useless.
The condenser is too small, so that the provided sump pump overpowers the condenser and it overflows. The fittings all leak, even with teflon tape applied everywhere. All this does is trap alcohol,both methyl and ethyl; resulting in leakage at the poo... Read More
Washed the system down with pbw brewery cleaner and then rinsed repeatedly for attempting the first run. The thermometer read 200 f for boiling water, so it's off by 12 deg. This makes holding a proper temp almost impossible.
Highlights
Quality
I turned the slobber box into a thumper with very little effort, but i found you cannot add flavor to alcohol with the thumper,... Read More
Great for the price instruction my opinion could have been better but overall good quality
When, for $350, i could have just purchased a small, much higher quality still to begin with.
Buy the kingsunshine still with the domed copper lid instead.
Price
Overall it is reasonably well made, for the price.
Competitiveness
I'm leaving a 4 star reveiw because i do think this was a good buy to get in to the distilling hobby at a low cost.
Wish it had a false bottom and more copper, but works great for the price!

Even with the high proof had a huge rye flavor with none of the nail polish smell or taste

The bubbler or thumper is not its a slomber keg but there are videos on youtube that show you how to turn it into a thumper with the parts that came with it

It’s flimsy and the metal hoses will eventually break but it’s remarkably good at distilling alcohol
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The pipes could also be longer so you can keep the final product as far away from the heat source as possible and the rubber gasket doesnt fit all that well around the lid and creats problems when yoy try to close it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Yoy may want to upgrade it for something better and make sure you have a very strong fan in a window with a second fan directing air flow too it just incase yoy use the gasket that comes with it
