Purchased one Last Thursday (2days ago).....said it could take up to 72 hrs to get full tank. Only 42 hours to fill both hot and cold tanks! Live in No. Cal East Bay and it has been low to mid 90s but plenty of Humidity! We have it located in our dinning room. Great so far! Will update in future.
I've owned one, and it produced almost no water in New Mexico. This thing has to be in a humid area to be worth it. Also, maintenance, at least on the original machines, was a pain in the ass! I still love the tech, but it has a ways to go. They should partner with solar and wind companies. Perhaps Elon Musk and the Tesla battery would be a good fit.
+A D Sorry to hear that. But yes, the machine needs 35% or higher humidity to produce even a minimum of 3-5 gallons in a day. We can not control that. No moisture in the air, no water production. And yes, we have made big improvements over the last year or so, by upgrading the filtration system. Going from the filters that use hoses, to now the easy quick change ones, makes a significant difference when doing maintenance.

+EcoloBlue - Thanks for the reply. Is Michael DiBenedetto's machine outdoors because there's not enough humidity inside his home in California?
