Very useful
I bought this yogurt maker after reading many reviews. Though it is easy to make yogurt at home without the use of a yogurt maker the product varies in consistency as the temperature is variable.
With this yogurt maker every time I get perfect yogurt. I use 4 cups of milk, heat on medium flame till just before boiling...cool to a temp when it is warm to touch. Blend in 3 T plain yogurt. Pour into the container and like magic the yogurt is ready.

Where's the yogurt?
I purchased this product with the idea that I could insert a quart of luke warm milk in its cardboard container straight into the unit along with starter of course. Since I eat a lot of yogurt and prefer organic yogurt, this seemed like a wonderful idea.
However, the milk never became yogurt. The bottom curdled some, while the top retained a consistency of thick buttermilk. This was after 48 hours. Thinking it was something wrong with the milk, I tried a different brand. I also tried a different brand of starter. No luck. Frustrated because I could never get the top of the milk to set, I tried milk in small plastic containers which I stacked inside the unit. Again, the bottom container became yogurt - sort of. The top container remained buttermilk. The real issue with this product is that the heat seems to come mainly from the bottom.
I can make yogurt easier using my oven.

Yogurt maker? Yogurt incubator, maybe
I thought this would be like a breadmaking machine--that you would put in the ingredients, turn the machine on and come back to a finished product. Well, no. This is a yogurt maker in the same way that your _oven_ is a breadmaker--you have to cook the ingredients to a certain temperature, cool them to a certain temperature, and then this thing apparently (arguably, judging by some reviews) keeps it at a steady temperature as it reaches its final stages. It may or may not be useful as a helper in this final step (some people just use their oven; others find it doesn't have a low enough setting). However, the initial steps were too much work for me. It doesn't cost much, but it doesn't do much either.

Easy and healthy
I love homemade yogurt, and so do my young kids. I have made it by using an oven, a warming plate, and the other "free" methods. This is so much easier and reliable - it was worth the expense. I get consistently delicious yogurt. My only suggestion is to only keep it in the yogurt maker for 3 hours after proper preparation. Most recipes say 4 hours or more, but this always gave me lumpy yogurt. If you haven't tried it, we love yogurt mixed with some jam - just like "fruit on the bottom".
