Magarich moonshine still: review and reviews
Going to buy a home distiller, many novice distillers pay attention to the products of the Chelyabinsk plant of household goods. The manufacturer's moonshine stills attract the buyer with an affordable price, spectacular design and a wide range of products.
In the line of ChZBT there are budget and elite models of different volumes and equipment. All devices are delivered in a gift box with a detailed instruction manual.
Advantages of Magarich devices
Quality material and factory assembly. The devices are made of stainless steel for food use, which does not affect the taste and quality of the distillate. Argon welding is used to process the seams, which guarantees their strength.
Affordable price. It is worth clarifying here: the attractive cost applies only to budget models, premium devices require more serious expenses.
Possibility to choose the tank volume and equipment. Most devices are available with cubes of different capacities: 12, 15, 20, 30 liters. When buying, you can choose a cheap basic set that includes the main elements (cube, refrigerator, dry steamers, etc.). д.) or complete (with hoses for connection, adapters, alcohol meter, thermometer, etc.). д.).
A wide range of products. In addition to different volumes, the manufacturer offers a choice between several lines: from a primitive two-part distiller to a still with a deflagration column and a still. Many models have a built-in thermometer.
Compactness, light weight, ease of use. The devices do not take up much space, are easy to move, disassemble and assemble.
Decent appearance, beautiful packaging. The devices are beautifully decorated, they are not ashamed to be presented as a gift, especially when it comes to an elite collection.
Compatible with various heating sources. The devices can work on gas, ceramic, electric, induction stoves. There are also models equipped with heating elements.
Acceptable quality of moonshine. This point is controversial, as not all distillers are satisfied with the characteristics of the finished product produced by Magarych distillers. However, most buyers believe that double distillation on budget models provides the drink with good clarity and taste, and premium devices perform even better.
Availability of a warranty, feedback from the manufacturer/supplier, several delivery methods. By purchasing the device from authorized dealers, you can count on the exchange of goods in case of defects. You can also get advice on any model without any problems.
Disadvantages of Magarich devices
Thin walls and rough welding. The manufacturer clearly saved on the material. Steel thickness is only 1 mm. Although there are no serious complaints about the burning of wort or deformation on the part of moonshiners. The seams in budget models are not very well processed and do not inspire confidence.
Insufficient power of the refrigerator. Due to the small number of turns, the coil does not cope well with cooling. As a result, performance decreases and water consumption increases. This point is noted by absolutely all buyers. They cope with the problem in different ways: someone screws on an additional refrigerator, someone performs the distillation more slowly, someone reduces the heating intensity during the "collection of the "body".
Poorly thought-out design of dryers in cheap models. Many budget devices do not have the ability to disassemble/remove sumps and a drain valve. They cannot be used for flavoring alcohol.
Narrow neck and no safety valve. Even in the modified models with an entrance widened to 10 cm, these shortcomings remain. And if the small neck only causes inconvenience during maintenance, the lack of a pressure relief valve seriously threatens safety.
Short warranty period. Exchange of defects and warranty service are available only for 1 year.

Reviews from the Internet
Consumers have different opinions about the products of the CBRT. The average rating of the manufacturer's devices ranges from 3 to 4 points. There are many positive reviews: "high-quality and simple to the point of outrageousness", "really great device", "simplicity, functionality, the right price-quality ratio", "good", "a source of high-quality and cheap alcohol for home use", etc. д.
There are also negative ones: "poor welding quality, thin metal", "there are other manufacturers with a more responsible approach to the products offered", "the tank does not close tightly, the neck is narrow", "small coil, not thought out dry steamer", "increased water consumption, low productivity"...
Absolutely all buyers are dissatisfied with the operation of the refrigerator in budget versions, which is why you have to slow down the speed of distillation. The manufacturer is trying to correct the remaining shortcomings in new models. In principle, the device is not bad for beginners and justifies its price, experienced distillers prefer something more productive and high-quality. Elite options are not in great demand among Russian moonshiners.
