Davis & Waddell DES0186

i followed the instructions after making kimchee but now the plastic stinks so much I cant't use it
nor does there seem to be anywhere where i can get a replacement container

I liked it so much I got one for my Mum too. I have only used it to make yoghurt (none of the fancy ones though) so far but will give it a go on fermenting when I get a glut of veg in the garden. I love the straining basket and that you get a lit to store your yoghurt covered in the fridge. Its a nice size big enough for yoghurt batches but a goid size to store when not in use.

I have been using the yoghurt maker for 2 months now and have tried different settings and times but the yoghurt still comes out grainy. Any hints anyone as I cannot find a Davis and Waddell help centre online.

Like most Yogurt makers I ask the question what does it do?
Yes it does make yogurt, but the reality is, it keeps temperature correct, and its a timer, because making yogurt isn't rocket science. So if things are not working out instead of blaming the machine one needs to look at your processes. For me I use long life skimmed milk two teaspoons of low fat milk powder, add the mother at room temp set C7 38c, 12 hours and the more you strain it the thicker it gets whey is surprisingly not to much
and my yogurt is thick and creamy. if you getting low qualities of yogurt look at your processes not the machine .......Love it, set and forget

I use this for making sauerkraut.
Love that I can adjust temperature and timing.
Hate that error message Is now showing - and I can neither find any info on internet about what problem is nor contact D&W.
That’s a large amount of Organic veggies in the compost! Disappointed at lack of customer support.

For a few years I used an Easiyo to make my yoghurt, and it was a real hassle keeping the water bath at the right temp. I was always changing the water.
Well I finally got sick of it and scouted around for a yoghurt maker. I've been using the same starter for a few years now, and it originally came from a proprietary probiotic drink. (And I would have kept using that drink if it had not been so sickly sweet)
But back to now, I just mix my starter into cold milk, use the C7 setting - 30 degrees for 27 hours. Bingo, perfect yoghurt every time...

This suits me perfectly. I can set my own time and temperature (yoghurt at 38C for 12 hours). I have been using it for a few months now without problem. Has a 1.8 litre capacity whereas a lot of others have much less.

I brought this from Amazon,for reasonable price. Was little bit suspicious ,because i have used different braNd before. It has mentioned we can use for fermenting other things as well ,which i havent tried yet. While making yoghurt from cold room temperature milk, for me it was bit runny ,than i tried with boiled milk and culture from store brought yoghurt,it comes perferct everytime.a Natural homemade yoghurt without any additives or extra fat Not too sour. Highly recommend for people with family who use Yoghurt on daily basis.

Purchased this machine to try and make yoghurt as it was quite cheap and had some positive reviews. I now use this machine on a weekly basis to make delicious Greek yoghurt. Reliable temperature control and consistent results.

I’m disappointed in my results for this machine, out of 1.5 litres of milk I ended up with about 200ml of Greek yoghurt. Before I strained it, it was way too liquid. I used Mad Millie starter. I was hoping to make low fat yoghurt but seems low fat milk doesn’t work well. Limited information in the instruction manual. I’ve gone back to buying our yoghurt.

My old Easy Yogurt maker was not suitable for making certain probiotic yogurt that required a lower temperature for incubation. I could not find any review for the Davis & Waddell machine and decided to risk $65. It is similar to the Easy machine in size, but has a number of preset temp settings for various Yogurt's, Kimchi, Sauerkraut and similar fermented dishes, there is also a variable temp setting.
In all it works ok and has produced some good results.
