“Just set it and forget it. My first batch of yogurt came out so thick and creamy.”John Atkinson
“I used this machine to make yogurt and natto every weekend so that I have fresh supplies of both for a whole week. It’s easy and fun to make them with the provided recipes.”Aihong Liu
“This machine is a game-changer for making natto or any fermented food — it maintains a steady temperature, runs quietly, cools your creation afterward, and is simple to clean.”Anonymous
“What stood out most was the cooling function which is not common in similar products. The difficult part of making rice wine is timing the fermentation and this machine does nicely, plus it is very roomy for large containers.”Xuemei
“I have two of these machines now to keep my fermented food pantry stocked all the time.”Genki Ripich
