VonShef Digital Yoghurt Maker with 7 Jars – Electric, Compact, Stainless Steel Machine with LED Display & Timer, 180ml Glass Containers / Yoghurt Pots - For Making Fresh, Healthy Homemade Desserts

This yoghurt maker is elegant and easy to use. It is simple to change the length of incubation time using the control button on the front. The indicator clearly shows how much time remains to the nearest hour, which is adequate. It is set to one temperature only which seems to maintain the culture at 40 to 42 degrees Celsius...ideal for yoghurt. Absolutely no problems with using this to make great yoghurt.I have made my yoghurt using whole milk with Yeo Valley natural yoghurt as a starter and also using yoghurt from a previous batch as starter with equally successful results. I have noticed that some reviewers failed to get their yoghurt to set. This has not been my experience. A very good set is achieved after 10 hours. Indeed, eight hours seems to be enough. I can only conclude that some of the reviewers having poor results did not use proper live yoghurt as starter. They should look carefully at the label for the words "live culture" and a list of the bacteria. If this is not mentioned then you should look for another brand. The other possibility is that they did not cool their milk sufficiently ( to about 45C) before adding starter as too much heat will kill the culture. UHT milk can also be used, avoiding the sterilisation step.Instructions provided are adequate for the machine but probably don't give enough detail on quantities for people new to yoghurt making. You need:1150ml milk80ml live yoghurt as starterEnsure jars are well washed and rinsed to remove detergent. Dry in oven to sterilise or upside down in air. Do NOT put plastic lids in the oven or they will melt!The bottom line is that this is a great yoghurt maker. I can highly recommend it. Happy yoghurt making!

Easy..cleanable..not to bulky..love the glass tubs..it tasted great..this is great value..it'd has its own temperature control so you don't have to play with buttons

This is a great machine for making homemade yogurt. It’s my second unit from VonShef. The last one lasted 6 years. They have made the control panel simpler - the previous model had extra buttons for temperature which really weren’t necessary. In this machine you just select the number of hours. I wish it would remember the last set time but it’s not a big deal. The real negative is the design of the glass pots. The previous pots were smooth sided. These have a defined edge at the top so collect yogurt which the dishwasher can’t reach. Very annoying! As I say though, overall a decent yogurt maker and looks unobtrusive on the work surface.

A very neat and compact yogurt maker that represents excellent value for money. I have been making yoghurt for a few years, using whole milk and greek style yoghurt, using Instant Pot etc: but this little uncomplicated machine does a first class job, without any fuss. A good buy! The instructions could be better but some of the reviews provide useful additional information for recipes etc.

I've made 4 batches of yoghurt with this, and it couldn't be easier to use. My 4th batch has turned out to be the best. When checking the reviews before purchasing there were some reviews that didn't seem to have great success, so here are my observations:1 - it's what you use and what you do that is going to determine whether you make decent yoghurt.2 - After experimenting I can state that using UHT milk is most convenient (just add milk to a saucepan, add in Culture powder, stir and then pour into jars, put in yoghurt maker for 14 hours) but yoghurt will be very thin.3 - For best yoghurt, put more effort in ( use full fat milk, gently heat to 86° C in a saucepan and keep it at 86°C for 8 minutes, stirring it all the time. Take off the heat and wait for the temperature to fall to 43°C, then stir in the culture powder, pour into jars and put jars into yoghurt maker for 14 hours).4 - Make sure you sterilise anything used to make the yoghurt.5 - use a decent culture powder.

This machine works well for making yoghurt (which it’s supposed to do!) I love the glass jars (rather than a plastic insert you get in some of the bigger yoghurt makers!) plastic around food is not cool. Especially if you are going to the trouble of making yoghurt yourself.I had no problems like other reviewers saying that the yoghurt didn’t set - quite the opposite it set really well (pretty solid and perfect if you like a thick yoghurt!) just to be specific this is on the 10 hour timer and I live in the uk, it’s Autumn here so fairly average temp about 19C in our house.Product looks good, is simple and easy enough to clean but I’ve left off one star as I find the small pots quite annoying - I sterilise them before use in a UVC steriliser and I’d rather pop one glass jar in than 7 small ones and lids but that’s just my preference - I make bravo yoghurt for my daughters health (a special probiotic yoghurt for a chronic health condition!) she uses varying amounts every day (meaning a large glass jar makes more sense - I can just dose out however much I need!) and my daughter also refuses to eat the yogurt that was made in the yoghurt maker as it was so thick and lumpy (kids can be fussy!) so now I’m trying a large mason jar in a thermos set up and seeing if that makes more sense for us. Leaving bowls of yoghurt in the oven overnight just doesn’t work in our house - somebody always forgets it’s in there and turns the oven on! 🥴

On my second batch of yogurt and it is working amazingly well.i thought there may be an issue with not having temprature control but Not al all. It works perfectly at the correct temprature to keep your yogurt at 36 to 42 Celsius.Great product for the price.
