Sidecar50: The item takes way too long compared to others I have used

Michelle Fisher: Excellent product. Yoghurt made is consistently excellent and the product is very easy to use. Love it.The jars however, can be improved upon. The crevices at the bottom of the jars trap yoghurt providing an opportunity for bacteria to form colonies as well as making them difficult to clean. The inside of the jar should really be smooth throughout.

Carol: This machine is compact and easy to use. Once you have the yogurt mix ready set the time, and turn it on. The light goes out when it is ready. I ate store bought plain Greek yogurt for years but it is very expensive. I still have not been able to make a yogurt I like as much but I am still tweaking the combos. Last time I made a batch I used a jar from the previous batch but it curdled so the starter culture is better. So far the best has been made with a bit of maple syrup to slightly sweeten it. Then I add it to fruit or add a bit of jam on top.

Crystal: I've had this yogurt maker for a couple of years now, but the last few times that I've used it the timer has gone off prematurely. I usually set it for 8-11 hours and within 3-4 hours it beeps and shuts off. Now I feel like I have to keep tabs on it every hour to make sure it is still on. The jar lids don't fit very well, you can't screw them tight, they easily become loose. But other than that it's been a great machine with perfect yogurt.

Sparkle: Perfect yogurt on the first attempt. No bad batches till date. I used store bought yogurt (with active culture) as starter. I heated 3.25% milk (on Mark 2, i.e. very low heat) till it formed a skin and had risen a bit. It took about 35-40 mins. Then I cooled it for 1 hr on the counter. I put 0.5 tsp or less of the store bought yogurt in each jar, poured the milk over it and stirred. It took 6-7 hrs to set (in summer, might take more time in winter). The auto-off feature makes it possible to set it up at night on the counter and go to bed knowing that it will be OK.
I plan to buy a 7-cup pyrex glass bowl to make a bowl of yogurt - as mentioned by another reviewer.

GJY: Store bought yogurt can contain all sorts of extra ingredients and preservatives that you may not want; also, the enzymes in many probiotic yogurts deteriorate and disappear over time (during shipping and while on the shelf). If you want to control what is in your yogurt, and willing to wait for it, this should work for you.
Glass jars, and a timer with auto shut off make this a breeze to use and clean. It is not "automatic" in the sense of doing everything for you. Plan on spending about 20 - 30 minutes prep time for boiling milk, allowing it to cool, and mixing in the ingredients. After that, just pour the liquid into the jars, place them in the appliance and turn it on. The yogurt can be as thick or thin as you want; it depends on how long you "cook" it. When the timer goes off, the unit will shut down automatically.
The instructions are clear and easy to follow. I would certainly recommend this to a friend.

C: I bought this yogurt maker over a year ago, and it's still going strong. In terms of product durability, the only thing that has "broken" are the little rubber foot pads at the bottom have fallen off, but a dab of superglue fixed that quickly.

I've been making batches of yogurt back-to-back in this baby, and I love how quick the setup is. I usually start a new batch late in the evening, so that it can incubate overnight and be done by the time I'm up in the morning. I take one little jar of yogurt from my last batch and scoop it into a pot, then use the emptied jar to measure out six more jarfuls of milk into the pot. Stir the pot well with a ladle, then ladle into all seven jars, stick the jars in the yogurt maker and put the big plastic cover on, set timer, press the red button and go. In the morning, I lift off the plastic cover (you'll need to be a little careful here, there will be lots of water condensed on the inside of the cover, and you don't want that dripping into your yogurt), cap all of the bottles with the provided lids, and stick them in the fridge to cool. Yogurt is done!

The yogurt I get is never as thick as the store-bought kind that you can stand a...

MorgasMorgas: Let me start off by stating that I had never made yogurt before buying this machine.
I watched countless videos and read various techniques about how to make yogurt before even buying this machine.

Now that i have it, and have made yogurt successfully, i want to share my experiences with you.

If you don't want to read the whole review, just know this:
1. Don't buy the YM100, buy the YM80. The timer on the YM100 is terrible. just look for the reviews about how bad it is. For being such a sucky timer, you might as well just save the money, and buy the other one.

2. Don't bother using the little cups. Pick up a  Pyrex Storage 7-Cup Round Dish with Dark Blue Plastic Cover, Clear  or  Pyrex No Leak Lids 7 Cup Round Baking Dish with Plastic Lid . These fit inside the machine and are so easy to clean. If you want to use the little cups, use them to carry the yogurt to work, but don't bother using them during the process of making yogurt. i have added some pics of the pyrex in the yogurt maker.

Now for the rest of my review:

I drink raw milk (and cream) from Oraganic Pastures in California. I had wanted to start making my own yogurt...
