Actually, you can tell........look for one in which the entire top
removes, and that has two plugs going into the tank. One plug for
the top, one to the power supply. That means you can heat the tank
without the top on, using a plate or other lid as a temporary top.
It is NOT a good idea to heat vinegar in the tank with the top in
place if the condensing tubes are made of aluminum. I think there
are some stills that have SS condensing tubes, but mine has tubes of
aluminum.
The one my friend has that can't be cleaned is an AquaVie if memory
serves, anyway, she says the top doesn't come off. In case you can't
tell from pics of the unit, contact the mfr and ask.

You can see the line where the top fits onto the tank. The entire
top lifts off. See the photo looking into the tank with the top
off. You don't have to buy this particular distiller, but this is
what to look for.
