 The biggest piece of crap! September 1, 2010
A. G. Sharma (Atlanta, GA USA)
I've been making yoghurt for 20 years and I can tell you this is a big waste of money. The jars they give you are 6 ounces! That's like 2 shot glasses. You'll have to wash 7 different jars and when they're all done, then you'll make your next batch.
Making your own yoghurt is super easy. Just bring milk to a boil in any container, pour into a glass vessel - I use pyrex which I bought a set of 3 with lids for $15 at the local BBB. Wait for it to cool down to the temprature you can handle with your touch. Put in some existing yoghurt from your previous batch or store bought and place the bowl with the lid in an oven. You don't have to turn on your oven. Wait a day or two and you have wonderful yoghurt.
If you want to thicken it, use some powdered milk while boiling.
This unit does not boil the milk. It just warms it and makes it watery. Again, the glass jars are too small. Way too much work for a bachelor.
We already have rice cookers that are automatic. Why not an automatic yoghurt maker? A good yoghurt maker should boil the milk and cool itself down and beep when it's time to add the culture.

The product seems to work fine so far. The yogurt is a little inconsistant from one jar to another but is satisfactory. Perhaps I need to experiment with the details of adding dry milk and stirring.
Great but ... replacement lids/jars not available August 5, 2010

The yogurt maker itself works great, is simple to use and produces great yogurt.
Do not let run for more than 10 hours though, the yogurt starts tasting tart beyond that.
It could use some sort of a timer, but with a little planning this is OK, making yogurt is kind of 1 day project anyway.
You need to pay strong attention to mixing the ingredient evenly otherwise the taste may vary significantly from one jar to the next.
What prevents me to rate this 5 stars is the fact that the lids are not dishwasher safe, and on second batch one of the plastic lids melted during the drying process.
Turns out that replacement parts are not available from the vendor anymore.
Substitutes range from 8oz canning jars (at amazon, meijer etc) if you're ok with metallic lids, to eurocuisine screw top jars. The latter should deliver next week for me.
 Good but FYI-replacement jars are no longer available! July 27, 2010

We bought this for Christmas last year and have really enjoyed using it. It has a 1 yr warranty HOWEVER when I called to get replacement lids (2 cracked) and a jar they told me that the jars are no longer available. I cannot even find them on ebay. Bummer. I think this is an important thing to consider when making a choice so Im just putting it out there. Im not sure what Im going to do to replace mine. I guess buy a new maker!

I had no problems until the yogurt maker arrived. It came with a cracked lid on one of the jars. I contacted the company I purchased it from who suggested I contact Salton, but didn't provide contact information. I tried using the information on the owners manual but it no longer worked. The internet came up with dead ends. Frustrated I went back to the Purchasee who has not done anything to find a replacement for the lid.
The yogurt maker works fine but I'm upset about having a cracked lid which is sure to break in half soon with no attempt to rectify the problem.
