Amazon.com Review
Yogurt is a great, guilt-free snack for both adults and kids. With this yogurt maker, it's easy to add favorite flavors--including exotic and sweet fruits, rich crunchy nuts, and natural sweeteners--to basic yogurt. Just follow the recipes, supplied by the manufacturer, and a nutritious snack, with very little fat and no preservatives (like most commercial brands), is not too far away. Making yogurt takes from 4 to 10 hours to process, depending on desired tartness of the batch. If you're looking for frozen yogurt, you do have to chill it for 2 hours in the freezer before consumption after it's made. The yogurt can be stored up to one week. --Teresa Simanton

Not worth it
It is just like a slow cooker and it is so small. I had been using a slow cooker to make yogurt by myself and then I thought that I could get a yogurt maker to save my trouble. But after I got it, ----I found it is just another smaller slow cooker!!
You have to go through all the same steps: warm your milk in a clean container; --- put it into the slow cooker or the so-called yogurt maker; put the yogurt seed that you bought ; --- make sure the temperature not too high to kill the yogurt bacteria; ---watch the time to make sure you are not "overgrow " it; --- take it out.
There was at least twice that I thought I needed not to watch the time--because, it is a yogurt maker and it should stop by itself, but it did not. And then my yogurt turned into something hard to describe--sticky and very sour.
Now this "Yogurt maker" is not used anymore at my home.

Very basic, very good.
Simple to use, had it over 2 years and it works well. Just throw together the yogurt culture, milk, and sugar, wait 24 hours, and voila the best tasting yogurt you've had is ready.

I think this price is a typo
The price listed here has to be a typo. I'm sure they meant to list it at $18.99. I have had mine for a few years now and I too have started using the quart mason jars instead of the container that it comes with. (Plastic should not be heated neither should hot liquids be poured into plastic for health reasons as I was taught in my MGT class). I still use mine but I am now experimenting with my electric oven using the same 1-quart mason jars simply because I would like to be able to make more than one quart at a time. ( I think I remember paying around $18 for mine).
