Salton YM9 Yogurt Maker – Best Popular Yogurt Maker

by Tammy on August 10, 2011

One of the more popular yogurt maker is the Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker. Tracking back the customers’ reviews on Amazon, it dates back to the year 2000 and with 582 5-stars ratings, there’s no doubt about the credibility of this yogurt maker.

“The Salton YM9 is the best home yogurt maker on the market. It is easy to use and clean. If you use more than a quart of yogurt a week, the Salton is the most reliable and lowest cost maker on the market.”
- Joe Score, Cincinnati

Excellent Value for Money
People love this machine because unlike any other methods of making yogurt, it is predictable that one would get yummy yogurt every time. The price is reasonable for its make, usability and reliability. However, most owners reported that they paid less than the retail price because they’re able to get a deal on Amazon. Plus, the whole process of incubating the milk and started pack from scratch takes so little of the owner’s time.

The Salton YM9 Yogurt Maker 1-Quart as its name implies, makes up to 1-quart (which is equivalent to 1 liter) of yogurt per batch. Of course, if you want to make less than 1-quart of yogurt with this machine, it wouldn’t be a problem. Do take note that this is a single vat yogurt maker. So if you don’t mind having the frills (I like the frills) of having smaller, individual jars, this would be for you.

Cute Design
Salton designed this Salton ym9 yogurt maker well. It’s lightweight and does not take much space in your kitchen’s counter top. Your kitchen would not look like a hazardous construction site with this machine. There was one reviewer who mentioned that the yogurt maker looks like a baby robot. In retrospect, I do think it looks like a smaller version of Star War’s R2D2.

All in all, the Salton YM9 1-Quart Yogurt Maker is worth every penny that you spend on it; it’s easy to use, works perfectly at all times and fits into your kitchen snugly. And it’s the best salton yogurt maker or salton electric yogurt maker you should probably consider first!

Salton YM7 42-Ounce Electric Yogurt Maker

The Salton YM7 42-Ounce Electric Yogurt Maker received some pretty positive remarks from a lot of buyers, but the negative reviews although not as many are very worrying indeed, but in order to justify this yogurt maker I decided to try it out.

Salton YM7 42-Ounce Electric Yogurt Maker

Firstly the set is an incubator style yogurt maker, this means you just place your milk in its readily available jars with all the necessary things to turn it into yogurt (excess yogurt, starters or bacteria culture whichever you prefer) and leave it for half a day and it will be done, sounds simple? It’s no wonder why many buyers who want to make yogurt prefer to go for incubator type makers.

The set has a lid which won’t drip the condensed vapor form the steam on places that you don’t want them to; well I’d say this is a small benefit over other yogurt makers which would drip water into your yogurt or even to the electronics.

The Salton YM7 42-Ounce Electric Yogurt Maker comes with 7 glass jars, all respectively at 6 ounces, to be honest these jars are way too small, but the maker itself is small, this requires me to make 42 ounces on the first session and another 42 on the second, but this is impossible unless you have another set of identical glass jars that would fit in the unit, sadly there are no replacement jars for purchase, that means you are stuck with those 7 jars for the rest of your life.

The controls are rather simple, because there are none, no automatic shut off no temperature setting, but there is a timer reminder though, so all I had to do after laying the jars in the unit was to flip the little red switch to the “on” position and wait overnight for some magnificent tasting yogurt.

After I’m done I just use the lids that the jars come with to cover them all nice and tight like for their prolonged stay in the refrigerator, what about the empty jars? Well cleaning them is a breeze since they don’t have that little curved neck, something like a collar which makes it really hard to clean (unlike the jars in other yogurt makers which won’t come clean even after a round in the dishwasher).

I guess the negative reviews on Amazon were caused by faulty units, poor delivery or extremely picky buyers, although it comes with its flaws this Salton YM7 42-Ounce Electric Yogurt Maker is still worth its price, but if you can’t stand the downsides then you may want to settle for another model.
