Since nearly all of today's store-bought yogurt comes complete with things like high-fructose corn syrup (in yogurt, for crying out loud!), I decided I wanted to be able to make my own. I have only used this one a couple of times, but I've found the yogurt it makes to be thick and creamy and perfectly done. I like being able to create my own flavors (maple syrup with a touch of nutmeg is nice) and controling what goes into it. It's also nice to be able to use the wide variety of milks available -- not just cow's milk, but goat milk, soy milk, etc. It works well, and we can have only what we do want, not what we don't want in our diet. (WHY would they take a perfectly wonderful food like yogurt and stuff it with things like high-fructose corn syrup!)

This has got to be one of my most satisfying purchases...absolutely love it!! I have yet to come out with a less than 'perfect' batch of yogurt, in my opinion. I've been making my own yogurt for the past 2 years and my biggest problem was inconsistent quality, sometimes it was great, but too often it was not. I wanted it to be perfect every time and now it is!
To be fair I will mention that the timer is the only thing I'm not thrilled with. My wish for a better timer would be that once the time is set, to have the dial move so you can see how much time is left in the process. Also toward the end of the cycle it would be great if a chime would ring to serve as a reminder just before the light goes off. Perfection !!!

I believe that this yogurt maker is a good value overall. The only compliant that I have is that the small jars make it difficult to mix in fruit or other topping in after the yogurt has been made. This makes it necessary to put the yogurt into a bowl before mixing, not a big deal just an observation.

The yogurt maker is easy to use and it is a plus that you select the milk to use. I would also recommend the maker with an automatic shutoff, especially for people who might not be available to turn off the maker at the correct time.

Used one of the recipe directions that came with the machine. Easy to understand and follow. The machine worked like a charm and produced very good yogurt. I was impressed with the fact that there was no whey or liquid on the top when first opened. Very tasty! Am anxious to try different flavors for more interest. Good value!
