This is my first yogurt maker. The price was great (<$20 elsewhere) and I wanted glass jars rather than plastic. Our small family enjoys yogurt from these jars, and also from a 4-cup Pyrex container used to make larger, one container batches. The yogurt has come out very nicely, and with very minimal effort using a bit of store-bought yogurt as a starter, whole milk, and in some cases a bit of powdered milk. The batches are done in 8 hours. Initially I made a few batches during daytime hours to make sure it 'worked', but now I make a batch overnight.
Many other yogurt makers I looked at had more attractive designs, or "turn off" functions (be sure to investigate these - you still need to intercept the yogurt and refrigerate it once a unit turns off), but for the money I felt this was the best buy. I have not had any issues with the unit heating up beyond 'warm.'
I would recommend this for a household of up to 3 people (if you eat yogurt daily, the 7-jar limitation found in many models could pose issues for 4+ people). I am giving it 4/5 stars because it works well and serves the purpose, but could probably be given a design facelift.

I have been making my own yogurt... it is so delicious. I never will buy yogurt again except for the culture if I run out of the packaged culture.
You cannot compare the taste with store bought yogurt. This yogurt cooker is fine... it was very inexpensive. the cover could fit better. I like the jars because they are straight and it is easy to remove the yogurt. The lids are a little hard to take off and on. For the price and the result I would recommend this yogurt maker to others. In fact I have.

Love this thing! Warm up milk, put in a dollup of yogurt, plug it in, and the next day you have 7 jars of yogurt. Put it in the fridge and add any fruit or preserves to taste. What could be easier? And it is economical on top of all that.

great gadget
it does the job, however wish it had a temp control, if you want to make sure you always have a batch going you'll have to order extra jars.

Quit working after 6 x
Bought this in February of 2012 and after using it maybe 6 times it's died. Certainly NOT cheaper than buying yogurt in a store now. Not happy.

Machine didn't work
After several attempts and lots of wasted milk I finally threw this out and kept the containers. My mom made yogurt all my childhood so I know how it works. Read more

disappointed and disgusted
I got the first one and tried three times to make a successful batch of yogurt. Each time I ended up with sour milk soup. The base barely got warm. Read more
