Genuine sealjoyous Yogurt Maker 1-36 hours multi-functional constant temperature yogurt machine,32-45 degrees adjustable, automatic digital LCD display 1.2 liters capacity(With 5 Cups)

Tips: For yogurt use whole milk, not the 2% stuff. After experimenting, use 41 degrees, and 8 hrs for yogurt. You must heat the milk to 80 degrees, then let it cool down to 40 degrees, then add starter, and THOROUGHLY mix it. I tried skipping the heating part, and on one batch I didn't mix enough, both batches were not that good. The starter yogurt must be pretty fresh, because the bacteria die pretty quickly. Natto is trickier. I soak overnight, then use InstantPot for 30 minutes, then 39 degrees for 24 hrs. Best starter is commercial natto (or previous batch). I tried spores and it was a total failure. You can tell if the batch is successful by how sticky it is.

It stopped working after the fourth time. I’d like a refund please. I mean it turns on, but it doesn’t heat at all. It’s not warm anymore. I didn’t realize that the last time I thought I made the yogurt wrong. But this time it’s not even warm I noticed. I would not buy this, although it was really a lot of fun the first month. It’s just a piece of junk to throw out. They don’t really give you an option to return it after 30 days so it’s cheaper to just go by your yogurt instead of buying this piece of crap.

This yogurt maker is really easy to use and not complicated at all. I like that you can make yogurt in the big pot or in single serving glass jars. and the relatively few modes are easy to cycle through. It makes a yogurt that isn't overly sour, and that is smooth in texture. The included lids for the glass jars close tightly and allow me to easily take the yogurt to work as breakfast. It is also quite easy to clean, and keep clean enough to ferment in. It is solidly constructed, and feels like a long-lasting appliance. Its 1+ liter capacity makes plenty of yogurt. Overall, this unit is a great value for the money, and it will be easy to recoup the cost of it by no longer buying ready-made yogurt.

This is a case of the manufacturer thinking they know more than the customer...and being totally wrong about it. This device only reads in Celcius...not Fahrenheit. It makes roughly 2 cups at a time. It has three settings...yogurt, rice, and natto. The problem with these settings is you almost have no adjustment on temperature and length of time. For example, I bought this to make l. reuteri yogurt. To make l. reuteri yogurt you need 36 hours at 99°F. Well, the yogurt setting and rice setting are too hot and will not let you lower the temperature. The natto setting is perfect for temperature but the machine refuses to let you set the machine for 36 hours. So, one setting lets you adjust temperature but not time, another lets you do the opposite, but the developers didn't ever exercise common sense to allow users to simply adjust time and temperature as needed. Then, there is the matter of such a small container when some yogurt recipes can take 48 hours. This machine is definitely not as advertised.

Great but takes along time

I have loved this yogurt maker and have made great yogurt since January until yesterday. The yogurt maker melted on the bottom and cannot be restored. I would return it for another if offered.

There are many different brands selling this exact machine. They all look pretty much the same. This is my second one. Both of them broke after four months of use. You can get about 10 to 15 cycles out of these machines and they break down -don’t waste your money -spend twice as much and get something that can last at least a few years.

Great appliance. Love the different temperature and time settings that are also manually adjustable! Made L.Reuteri yogurt perfectly. Comes with a foreign plug. You will need an adapter or fit a new plug before use.
