Yogurt Maker, Automatic Digital Yogurt Maker Machine with Adjustable Temperature & Time Control, Stainless Steel Cheese Maker, Fruit Wine Maker with LCD Display

This works great and keeps it consistent temperature with the small containers. I've used larger containers and found I needed to set the temperature a couple degrees lower because it tends to heat it up a little more than the temperature is set for. It's important to heat up the water and the milk in the containers to the temperature desired first before making the probiotic temperature sensitive yogurt because the machine will heat up very high until it is all heated to the correct desired temperature. I set the temperature to 100° f with the unit empty and measured the bottom of the yogurt maker with a laser gun and it reached 150° f.

I love the taste of fresh yogurt. This does an excellent job of making probiotic yogurt if you have an additional thermometer to make sure your device is at the right temperature. It needs to be at 107 degrees for 24 hrs. First set of yogurt was 3 degrees too hot. This set I made into pup pops. Second set I adjusted temp of machine to 104 for 24 hrs and it stayed consistent at 107. Third set I used 3 tablespoons of the previous batch as the culture to start. It was perfect!Make sure to read the instructions on this webpage. Some of them are more clear than what you will get for a manual.If it will not take your time program first time, unplug and retry again.When I first plugged it in I had to reset machine( unplug/ reset) 3 times before it actually went beyond 8 hours. I was going to return, but then on third try it worked correctly. Remember to set temperature, then time.I do a water bath when making yogurt, and the water is approx at 100 degrees when I put it in.

Was excited to make my first batch of L.Reuteri yoghurt, set timer to 106 for 36 hrs. After 24 hours I checked the temperature and found it was 130 degree, albeit the temp on machine was still at the set 106. So this totally ruined my yoghurt. I may try it again just filling the cups with water to see if it can keep the temp. Now that I just threw away the box, I can't return it anymore. Very disappointed.

Awesome I love it

I had initially ordered the Ultimate Yogurt maker which promised 2 day delivery. usually items arrive early in the morning, so I prepared my half and half, L. Reuteri cultures, inulin fiber and other materials prepared for the arrival of my Ultimate. When I checked in the afternoon, it still hadn't shipped but was promised by 10. At 7PM, still hadn't shipped and still promised by 10pm. I have experienced this Amazon sam before. At 10:01, they offer you a refund if you haven't received the product in a few days. Luckily I was able to cancel the Ultimate and at 10pm, found the Lyn Torin for almost 1/2 the price WITH 4am - 8am delivery. The LynTorin arrived around 6 and I was prepared to get my L. Reuteri fermented milk underway. The product was well made, well packed and when tested was within 1/2 degree F of the set temperature of 100F. The LynTorin has exactly the same front panel, size, finish and lid at the delayed Ultimate. It has the same time range to 48 hours and same temperature range, 68F-131F, as the Ultimate. Clearly, these are both produced in the same factory with different labels, and the price difference goes to pay for the extra marketing and "paid" reviews and TV endorsements.I have sucessfully started the 36 hour ferment and after a few hours the temperature, set to 100F, is 99.7F. I am thrilled to death with this product, the money saved, the fast overnight delivery and of course, the accurate performance of the temperature control.I will post an update after the 36 hours ferment time.

It's awesome -- best part is that is a complete unit with jars/lids. It's programmable for super gut yogurt recipes. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because I paid $20 more! Worth every penny.

This machine is light, simple and does its job. I like that you can control both temperature and duration, so it allows me to fine tune the yogurt making process to my liking. Another reviewer mentioned the temperature would go crazy, but that is not my experience. I put in the 8 jars and instead of leaving air, I fill the jar container with pre-heated water to 120F (49C). This creates a bain-marie which provides for a more uniformly distributed temperature, similar to a sous-vide effect. I tested the temperatures of the water in the container several times and it differs only in 1F degree from my thermometer, so it is pretty accurate.

We have only used it 4 times and one side of the machine is not heating properly. Otherwise, it is easy to use and does the job.
