I researched several brands after my very old Salton finally died. I read customer reviews of the various models. I also wanted a unit that held 8 oz. jars rather than 6 oz. and decided on the Waring Pro. I am very satisfied with it. FYI....I find that following the exact directions concerning the temperature of the cooled milk to be key for a good result. To this end, I start the yogurt maker and place the jars inside while I prepare the milk. This avoids cooling the milk down too much as might happen if the 110 degree F. milk is poured into cold jars. I have had good results with this method. I have recently started using "Yogourmet Freeze-dried starter". The starter directions say to use 1 packet of starter per 32 oz. of milk and incubate for 4 to 4-1/2 hours. However, I use one packet for 48 oz. of milk (48 oz. fills the six 8 oz. jars for the Waring Pro) and incubate according to the directions for the Waring Pro. The results have been great. Prior to using Yogourmet starter I had good results using plain yogurt from Stonyfield as starter. I have not yet tried using some of the yogurt made with the Yogourmet Freeze-dried starter as the starter for the next batch, but plan to try it soon. <<< Read more comment for Waring Pro YM350 Professional Yogurt Maker... >>>
