The model exactly copies the moonshine still from Germany. The key difference from the original model (which costs under 1000 euros) is the lack of silver coating on the inner walls of the cube. Moonshine stills "from Germany" of this brand are made of high-quality stainless steel. The multilayer bottom tank works with both induction ovens and traditional gas heaters. The design is easy to assemble, as the distiller is already assembled. At the same time, the manufacturer did not provide for the possibility of an upgrade, which many users complain about in the reviews. Also, among the shortcomings, the owners point to a large number of low-quality products. The reason was the popularity of the model and the abundance of fake Wagner moonshine stills on the market, assembled by a handicraft method.

A simple and concise moonshine still, however, as it should be for German units.Despite the absence of complex components, distillation gives an excellent quality product. The device can operate in 5 modes: from the preparation of beer and liqueurs to the creation of drinks with a strength above 40 degrees, up to pure alcohol.
