humour and the Soypower Plus!, This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty Like
most people, I have a wild assortment of gadgets hidden in my kitchen cupboards.
I thought my latest gadget would be the same, but how wrong could I be? This
gadget has pride of place on my counter top. What, I hear you ask can this
amazing gadget be? This, I have to try!I was brought up in the days when English schoolchildren got a free 1/3 pint of milk every day at school; not too bad in the winter when it was cold, even if the cream did rise to the top, but in the summer- ugh! Hence my delight at finding soymilk. I bought it in bulk at Costco but didn't really drink it, using it more for cooking and as an additive to cereal. I was brought up to be frugal so hearing of the Soyapower Plus soymilk maker, and the thought of the savings involved, I was eager to start. Ordering online was so easy; the price was right and the delivery prompt. I couldn't wait to start on my new adventure. It comes with everything, a jug, a sieve, a cleaning brush, a green cleaning scrubber and a soybean measurer. All you need are the beans, a pretty jug for the milk and some flavouring. Luckily for me, it also came with a supply of beans so that if you forgot to go to the store too, you can still start. Oh, nearly forgot, you also get a couple of useful books with fun recipes. I learned that you can even use the okara for other recipes. No, I had never heard of that either, but it is the leftover once the milk is sieved. As you can see, the benefits of this purchase are not just the milk you can make! I wasn't too sure about my first attempt, thin and beany but once flavoured, it was drinkable. The second attempt, I added 2 tablespoons of oats, which made it really creamy. Version three was half chick peas and half soy beans; version four was soybeans and 1 tablespoon of oats, much better. Was adding sea salt and honey but then I found Malt barley - another childhood favourite. Well so much for economy, my version six is so good that I have to remake it every two to three days. Amazingly enough, you only use about 4 ounces of beans. The soypower plus is so easy to use, even the technologically unsavvy can be successful. You soak the beans overnight, add water to the machine, add the drained beans and press a button. Fifteen minutes later, VOILA!! You have the finished product. Let it cool, add flavouring if you chose to, then drink. As if the above isn't enough, you may like another time saving tip. If like me, you don't like to dust, this is definitely the machine for you. You will use it so often, that it never has time to gather dust, giving you more time for you. You can also make rice milk, almond milk or experiment. Great for the creative soul ... Who could ask for more?? Cheers! 5.0 out of 5

review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I have
had my SoyPower Plus for a few months now, bought as a gift to me by my wife. It
is an absolutely amazing machine, and makes consistent quality, delicious
soymilk from batch to batch. I make 6 to 12 batches of soymilk per week using
this soymilk maker, each batch consisting of 100 grams of beans soaked
overnight, and filtered water. Each batch processes quickly and quietly, and I
have not encountered a single problem with any aspect of the process. The
soymilk is smooth and creamy after filtering and makes the best tofu you will
ever eat.Fit and finish are excellent. The folding handle is sturdy, and cleaning couldn't be easier. Do remember, however, to clean the soymilk maker immediately. The soymilk/okara mixture clinging to the machine elements will set up like cabin chinking if you let it sit too long. I rinse mine thoroughly between each batch, which just takes a few seconds. Customer service is absolutely excellent. While I have never encountered a problem with the unit, I have contacted the company by email with questions about using more than the recommended amount of soybeans to try to make a thicker soymilk for a special type of tofu (kinugoshi). Their reponses have been extremely fast and helpful. Making the volume of soymilk that I require is very time-consuming when done by hand. Really messy, too. The SoyPower Plus is fast, easy, and nearly mess free. I know from reading other reviews that a few people have encountered some problems with their units. I hate it when that happens to me, too, with any product. But I can honestly say that I would never want to be without my SoyPower Plus. If it breaks (heaven forbid), they will replace it. They are a great company with a superb product! And, I hope this review helps you make the decision to give this product a try. You can't beat the performance and customer service at the low price of the SoyPower Plus. 2.0 out of 5

product worked great. I was not concerned when it first stopped working within
few months. The company has been great in responding and replacing the broken
unit. Unfortunately, the second unit stopped working within one month. Now the
third one failed again less than three months. All failed during the soy milk
making cycle. It seems to be related to the faulty sensor. This is unusual for
an electronic product. I wonder if the durability of the product could be
impacted by how it is used. If that is true, then the manual should exmplain it

usually end up gifting it to them. This current one will no doubt find a new
home soon. It is so easy to make soy, and you can invent new flavors using
spices or other types of beans. This is one machine that my house can not do
with out. We are now making strawberry tofu, and if it like the peach flavored
we made last week, it's going to be killer.

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I
purchased this soymilk maker about a month ago, and I absolutely love this
product! Some key points are that it is relatively quiet, takes only 15-20
mintues to make about one quart of soymilk, it only takes 1/2 of a measuring cup
of dry soybeans to make the milk,and I think it makes a healthier product
because it's fresh, and doesn't include additives such as carageenan, unless you
add it in yourself. The recipe book says you can make the milk, and blend it
with 8 dates. I think that's too much sugar though. I added only two dates WITH
THE SOYBEANS, so I could skip the blending stage. It worked just fine. Adding
one teaspoon of vanilla extract also helps with the flavor. Another thing I
really like about the soymilk maker is that I generate less trash. I don't need
to throw out two tetrapaks every week now. I wish I got this machine a lot
sooner! One thing I didn't really care for was the small sample of soybeans that
came with the machine. The soybeans were described as Non-GMO, but they weren't
certified organic. I buy dry organic soybeans from the Whole Foods bulk bins for
only $1.69 a pound.

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty To date,
I have no complaints about this machine. It does exactly what I want it to do,
make nut milks, with no fuss and easy use. Home made nut milks are by far better
tasting than store bought. This machine works like a charm. Cleaning the machine
after making the milk is harder than the actual milk making. But if you clean
right away, even this won't be an issue.I did a lot of research on soy milk makers, read through endless blogs, watched many You Tube videos and this was the one that rose to the top. And to make it even sweeter, it was not as expensive as the next highest rated brand. A 7-year warranty is available, I believe a 2-year is what comes with it. Everything fit together nicely, the white exterior is a pure white and it's worked like a charm since it's first use. I saw some of the other comments about the lid not fitting right and the color not being white. They must be for some other soy milk maker or an older version because I did not experience any of this. If you're looking for an affordable, multi-use, soy milk maker, this is the one. 1 of 1 people found the following review

By
This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I have
had this for about a month. It does a wonderful job at making soy milk and I
love using the okara (by product of soy milk) for burgers and other
things.there are a few things that bother me. 1. the recipe "book"... -first, but probably least important, is it's appearance. It doesn't look at all like a recipe booklet and they would serve themselves right by making it look more appealing and more organized... I'm sure the company has the means to do that. -it doesn't mention the fact that rice milk CANNOT be made in this maker by it's self... Or if it can, it doesn't explain how or what kind of rice is best. I was excited about making some and so I just did as I thought I was supposed to with minimal instructions and came out with a starchy goo and a hearty mess to clean up. I'm, quite frankly, scared to even put rice with soy beans to even do a 3/4 to 1/4 like they suggest. I haven't tried any other kind of seed, bean, or grain yet. I'm scared to, but I will. -also the little measuring cup that comes with the box IS NOT 1 cup, for all who won't know. The recipe book says, or makes you think, that it is but it's definitely not. I think it's something close to 3/4 cup. So this may make it a bit confusing when measuring the right amounts. In one place book tells you to only use the measuring cup that they provide and in the recipes it tells you to use 1 cup of this or a 1/4 cup of that..... So one would naturally wonder if they mean a "REAL" measurement or their little measuring cups worth.... ??? hummmm? ***Just to put you all at easy though, I will tell you that about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup of UNSOAKED soybeans is about what makes a good consistency of milk. Although, as long as you only fill the container to the right amount of water AFTER you put the beans in, you can use a little more beans than that to make it more creamy. 2. the other nuisances that come with the machine are not to big a deal. things like: there's no on and off switch, cleaning of machine head is not that great, and how much you can make at a time seem to be my only qualms with it so far. 1 of 1 people found the following review

sweet can certainly add sugar or sugar substitute. The cost is about 8 to 10
times cheaper than purchasing from the store and it is fresh with no

have purchased this machine before now. This machine is easy to clean if you
clean right away after use. It come with a brush for this purpose. This machine
saves a lot of time compared to the more manual method. I recommend buying it.

In the morning I just put them in the machine and add water. 15 minutes later I have soy milk. I do strain mine SEVERAL times to thin it out. My kids like it better that way. Then we add a little sugar and whatever flavoring they prefer. I just keep several mason jars in the fridge and each one is a different flavor of soy milk. Healthy and easy! 5.0 out of 5

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I did
not buy this at Amazon, I bought it directly from soymilkmaker.com for about the
same price before seeing it here. It's a well constructed piece of machinery,
and is pretty maintenance free from my usage. Basically I soak my beans
overnight (about 10 or so hours) then strain the water out and pop them into the
machine. Then, I put the water in which is level-marked on both a pitcher and
inside of the machine. Put the top back on, lock it and push the button. Can't
get much easier than that without someone else doing it for you. Afterwards, you
pour it through the strainer into the pitcher, and put the akara in the strainer
aside for whatever you want to do with it. (akara is the soybean remains, VERY
protein-rich and very low in carbs. is neutral tasting, can make stuff from
it)So far I've used soybeans only, but you can use soybeans with rice, and different kinds of beans like black beans, etc. The soybean milk alone are pretty tasty. For 1/2 gallon of soymilk, I add in a teaspoon of vanilla extract & a little scoop of stevia for a touch of sweetness. I'm glad I bought it, it's well constructed and not feeling all plasticy like I thought it would. The metal and plastic are a nice tight fit and easily washable. I take like 1-2 minutes to wash after the milk is made, and that only takes about 20 or so minutes to complete. All in all, it's a great addition to my kitchen. 5.0 out of 5

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty great
little soy/nut/grain milk maker, got it for the husband for christmas last year.
We use a gold coffee filter for a final removal of the silt, we're finicky about
texture. We aren't crazy about the pitcher it came with, it's plastic, but it
works (wouldn't really want to spend more for a better pitcher, rather prefer to
find it on our own). The "cleaning implements" that come with it are totally
unnecessary - just clean it normally right when it's finished and it's easy.
Shortly after I bought it the price rose up about 10$ every few days for a
month, the fell back down, it seemed to vary wildly... I ended up watching the
price just to see it move around. I recommend watching the price if it's higher
than you'd like, it'll probably go back down. By complete coincidence I got it
at the lower end of what I've seen of its range, around $120 or so I think, but
that may have been to dump the 2010 beige models for the 2011 white models (I
have no idea, just guessing - I don't care one color or the other, and the price
is back down now, so who knows).I hope to try to take it to the next step and make tofu and tempeh from the soymilk I make, but I've got a long list of kitchen experiments to get through first. The most helpful review (VHLok) convinced me to buy it and is still so thorough I don't have much more to add. The manufacturer seems to actually care about how their products are used and reviewed (a rare and wonderful thing in my mind), so I figured I'd leave a nice note :D 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk

make myself drink water enough. I fixed this by drinking soy milk. I find it
easy to drink 1.8QT soy milk/day (in general, Vietnamese like to drink soy milk
& eat tofu :).Plus, we have to take recycling things with us to bigger cities due to the lack of recycle place in our tiny city. So I thought of buying a soy milk maker to lessen recycled cardboard boxes & help a little to save environment. I've used the machine every other day to make 4 batches/day (using sink water) since 2 months. I used to buy organic soy milk at stores. Now my home made soy milk tastes better! The machine works very well. Just one time it kept beeping & I didn't know why because the water level was correct, the right amount of soy bean was soaked 12 hours. I thought it's because I used distilled water. So I changed to drinking water, it started beeping. I waited 1 hour & restarted with water from sink, it beeped again! I emailed the seller. He promptly advised me to only make no more than 2 batches in a row & let the machine cool down. I retried the next day & it worked again! I often made 4 batches/day, but I didn't notice that I was too busy with my toddler so I always let the milk maker cool down before the next batch. I've more experience now :) I sometimes made Mung Bean milk & peanut milk. With Mung Bean milk, I drunk all of it (the okara of Mung Bean is very soft just like you're drinking thick milk! Less work for me! :) ) Vietnamese like to drink hot sweet soy milk as we believe hot drinks will help to melt unwanted fat in our body :) We also enjoy dipping "Banh Tieu" or "Dau-Chao-Quay" - kind of Chinese donuts (fresh deep fried donut) in hot soy milk & we find it very delicious! :) I also bought the home made tofu kit but haven't tried it yet. I will make tofu using this soy milk maker & enjoy my favorite breakfast: tofu with hot melt ginger sugar for breakfast! - usually, I bought silken tofu at store to make this breakfast plate but I will try to make it at home soon :) BTW: I bought soy bean (product of USA) at Asian food stores: $1.75/bag of 16 oz. I can make 5-6 batches of soy milk from one bag. In short: I highly recommend this Soya Power Plus maker to all people who like soy milk & tofu like me :) 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk

product is great. It's a kitchen workhorse for us, consistently producing good
tasting soymilk daily. We've only put it through its paces for a couple weeks
now, so I can't yet comment on durability but it's holding up well so
far.It's much easier and faster to make milk and then clean than I had expected. So far we've only done soy and mongbean, but both consistently come out very well, and the included recipe book boasts of a variety of other milks that we're looking forward to trying out. Relative to $3-$4 for a half gallon of soymilk, we are about a month away from breaking even, which is why I refer to this as an investment. My only complaint is capacity. You really can't make that much in one shot. We are a house of 3, and one batch lasts just about a day. However if your home numbers four or more you probably want to whip up 2 or more batches in a given day. 2 of 2 people found the following review

all my reviews This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty Calling
it a soy milk machine is really a misnomer; it's a rudimentary hot soy mash
maker. They all are, but this one is clearly the best. Watch the video to
understand what I mean:1) Soak beans overnight in a separate wessel (you) 2) measure beans (you) 3) put beans into machine (you) 4) machine heats water, then pulverizes beans (machine) 5) eject bean mash into a separate vessel, through a strainer (you) 6) transfer bean milk into a suitable vessel to refrigerate (you) Here's an idea: make a soy milk machine wherein you put an arbitrary amount of beans and water (ie: a bean reservoir and separate water reservoir), you press a button that says "make me some soy milk beeyatch" or rather "make me a pint / quart / half gallon / gallon depending on the number of times that button gets pressed"TM and then 8-12 hrs later, it has soymilk in a third reservoir, kept at a warm temperature, waiting for you to dispense. THAT, is what I could consider to be a 'soy milk machine' You know, one that meets an expectation in the same way that a bread machine makes bread, it makes soy milk. I want to point out that a bread machine, you measure the ingred's, put it in the mixing bowl and some time later, it mixed, it kneaded, it cooked and it poops out fully-formed, rtg bread. Soy milk seems even simpler than this bread process, yet, soy milk machines do far less. WHAT IS THE DEAL AMERICA? suggestion: save your money, get a pressure cooker and a stick blender or use a vitamix / blendtec / ninja blender / omega juicer-grinder. You'll end up with the same soymash which you then have to strain (which is by FAR the most annoying part of the whole process and what you should hope a soy machine would deal with...). 2 of 3 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk

when it's done making soymilk, it beeps; then you MUST unplug the machine;
otherwise, it will keep on beeping. Wish there was an power on/off or cancel
button so you don't need to plug and unplug if you want to make 2 batches of
milk.Second, the machine looks very big and makes you believe that it should make enough milk for a family of 4 easily, but you can only fill water between 2 very narrowed lines (hard to see and get it right because the small lines are too far deep at the bottom of the container.) Third, if you put in 1 measuring cup of beans in, milk comes out watery and has on soymilk taste at all; if you put 1.5 cups of beans and let it blend twice, the 1/4 of the milk at the bottom becomes muddy. Last, I am sure somewhere on the menu, it mentioned heating the water to 180 degree (mentioned in the customer review video but it is at immediately consumerable temperature when it's ready, so I am concerned if the water was ever fully boiled. I never used another soymilk maker before, so maybe I had an unrealistically high expectation from it's description and reviews. Not sure what to do with the machine now. Tip: If you put in a handful of oatmeal bought from Costco) with the soybeans, the milk will be much thicker and far less watery. 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty My wife
and I started making our own bean/nut/grain milks about a month ago to save cost
and eliminate ingredients in processed milks found in our local grocery store.
After thoroughly convincing ourselves that we were happy with this decision, we
purchased the Soyapower Plus. So far, we've used the maker to make soy milk,
almond milk, soy-almond-peanut-walnut milk, and almond-oat milk, and we've been
happy with every combination! We go through so much milk, we have no doubt this
will pay for itself quickly.The maker itself is incredibly simple to use. Add soaked beans, water, and press one of the buttons, and you get fresh milk 15 minutes later! The taste is excellent, and cleanup isn't bad. Oh, and we followed the advice of another reviewer and used the okara to make dog biscuits. That saved us some money on those as well! 1 of 1 people found the following review

By
This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty This soy
maker works great. It is fairly easy to use and fully automatic. Just put the
soy beans, water, and whatever else you want and push the botton. It makes
delicous soy milk. (My recipe is soy plus oatmeal -- just enough oatmeal to make
one bowl of oatmeal) I save the solid soy and oatmeal residue to mix , along
with soy milk instead of water when I cook oatmeal. (delicious)There is however one fundamental design flaw. This unit is very very difficult to clean. The unit comes in two parts: 1) a top part that includes all the electronics iuncluding the controls, blade, heater, etc., and 2) a pitcher which the top part fits into. The pitcher is very easy to clean. Cleaning the top part is very time consuming. The instructions make clear the top part should never be immersed in water. However it has many surfaces into which the cooked and semi solid soy residue adheres to, after you make the soy milk. This makes it difficult and time consuming to clean. This is a shame, because this makes great soy milk q easily and automatically. A better design would have all the parts that come into contact with the soy be removable and fully immersible, so that the unit wouldn't be so darn hard to clean. I don't know if there are any other soy makers that are easier to clean-- but be aware that cleaning this one will be a little difficult and time consuming. 2 of 2 people found the following review

never owned a soy milk maker, but love real soy milk and fresh tofu and was
tired of doing the blender routine (which was long, tedious, and rarely used.) I
also love almond milk. Spotting a machine that promised to make both was a great
incentive to hit buy. I am so glad I did. The machine is fast and easy, and the
results are delicious. As long as you clean up right away, clean up is a breeze.
(looks like if you let it sit even a few minutes it will be much harder as the
heating element will have the residual soy milk welded to it) I am so happy with
this, I will be buying one for my daughter in the fall when she moves into her
own apartment. I found this purchase to be well worth the price.

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I should
say from the beginning that I am a huge Silk Soy Milk fan. We drink it daily and
use it for all of our cooking needs, which means that our personal bar is pretty
high where soy milk is concerned.Before I bought the SoyaPower Plus I tried making soy milk with my Vita Mix. It did okay, but the end product was not what I was looking for. It tasted too "beany" and was hard to make consistently. I have used the SoyaPower Plus for about three weeks now and love it. The machine completes every step in 20 minutes and what you are left with are two primary things: Soy milk and okara. A little salt and / or sweetener if you wish and the soy milk is excellent each time. The okara can be added to bread, or used to make excellent veggie burgers. Clean up is very simple as long as you do it immediately. The parts are hot when it is finished, but a little run in cold water will allow you to clean it up while the soy milk strains. I give this machine my highest recommendation for 1) ease of use and cleanup 2) excellent results, and 3) the quality of the machine and supplemental items like the strainer. 1 of 1 people found the following review

this soy milk maker! it is soooo easy to use. I make soy and almond milk for

I save a fortune on soy milk, as it is just pennies to make at home. The taste
is much better than store bought. The SoyaPlus is extremely easy to use. I put
in filtered water and the soybeans, and press one button. Once the soymilk is
ready, the machine beeps. I just strain the pulp and it is ready to drink or
store in the fridge. One batch fills a 1.5 liter Rubbermaid BPA free flask. I

in your SoyMilk,
By
This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I never
owned a Soy Milk maker before, so I cannot compare the Soyapower to other
devices available, but I can compare the end result to store-bought soy milk,
and I believe I've tried most brands out there. I bought the product directly
from Soyapower because they had a father's day special. It comes with a sample
of soybeans that would suffice for 1.5 runs. Each run requires 100g of dry
soybeans that you need to soak for 8-16 hours prior to making the milk. You can
use a combination of other grains (rice, barely etc.) but I only use the
soybeans. The whole process is super short (~15min, depends on water temperature
you add) and all it requires other than the soybeans is water. I get my soybeans
at wholefoods, and they cost about $2 for an amount sufficient for ~6 batches. A
batch is about 8-9 cups of soy-milk. I'm confident this device pays for itself
rather quickly when you consider how expensive organic, high-quality soy milk
can be in stores. I use a reusable coffee filter to sieve the final product so
the milk would be super smooth. A regular sieve would produce soy-milk with more
sediments. The 'leftovers' (the okara) is a nutritional powerhouse you can add
to your cooking/baking. I stir fry it with veggies.I also ordered with the soy milk maker a tofu maker kit which is basically a mold with a seaweed coagulant. It requires 2 batches of soy milk and you can control the firmness of the tofu. Pros: -Silky, smooth, yummy soy-milk. -Control how much sugar you add (I add 1tbsp of agave to the hot milk once it's done along with 2tsp of vanilla extract). -Can make tofu as well. -Can make excellent use of the okara leftovers. -Quiet. -One push of a button and the Soyapower does it all. -Super easy to use. -Pays for itself quickly. -Can use a variety of grains/beans. -Some people complain about an annoying beeping sounds it makes when it's done. I don't find it particularly disturbing, I actually think it's good because I tend to forget about stuff like that. Cons: -Tough to clean. I recommend cleaning it IMMEDIATELY after it finishes the cycle (careful, it's HOT). Otherwise the milk solidifies on the surfaces which are tough to reach and clean. Careful from the edges of the container (the snaps), I cut myself pretty bad once. 22 of 22 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty We
received our Soyapower Plus yesterday. Soaked the packet of beans overnight. I
pre-washed the machine and all the parts. I bought two frigoverre 1L
hermetically sealed containers ahead of time (we love our large one!) That was
about all we did right. My fiancee overslept and the beans stayed soaking for
longer than recommended time. I poured some water in the Soyapower Plus, but our
mavea XL filter pitcher (love that, too!) wasn't full enough to fill the
Soyapower to the correct lines. I put more water in to filter and left to read
helpful tips on the web. After being confused about amount of beans, and what to
add, etc., I decided I would use half the bag of included laura soybeans per
batch so that I could make two batches (room for 'experimentation'). Then, I
heard the machine running... My fiancee dumped ALL the beans into the Soyapower
which was HALF-FULL of the required amount of water and just turned it on! Twice
as many beans and half as much water!! Plus, the power cord was half sticking
out of the machine head! As I pushed it all the way in, I thought for sure this
would be a wasted attempt at making our own soymilk. I had read about scalding
beans and whatnot and was sure our milk was going to be disgusting. We pondered
opening it and removing beans, etc. but decided to stick with it and see what
happens. Well, 15 or so minutes later, the machine stopped & beeped. We
waited a few minutes to open it and used the included strainer and pitcher to
strain the okara (he's planning on making "chicken strips", as per the included
recipe). Then, we used a tea strainer to strain the batch into the glass pitcher
(a lot of extra okara was caught!). The consistency and texture looked very
appealing and the soft yellow color matches our kitchen. So far, so good! Then,
it spent some time in the fridge to chill (it's very hot when it comes out).
Soon, we couldn't wait any longer and popped open the jar of room temperature
liquid to taste. A short toast and a few sips later and we were patting
ourselves on the back about what great soymilk makers we are! Well, it had not
much to do with us and almost all to do with the machine and from what I can
guess, the yummy beans. I like it slightly warm and completely plain. It's
DELICIOUS! Another reviwer said theirs had an "eggy" smell. Our does smell
faintly like hard-boiled eggs; I think it is a nice smell. The experience
reminds me of an egg-cream, or thin egg-nog. We don't eat eggs here in the
house, but from my memory, I think it's similar. Either way, it's really yummy
and smooth. I also tried it with a squirt of chocolate syrup and it was tasty!
He likes it with a touch of Vanilla Extract (which I thought was gross). Good
thing I bought two frigoverre's! *See other TIPS below*We estimate the cost to be around $.50 per liter using the laura soybeans. We were paying $2 per liter for organic unsweetened soymilk at our local wegmans (love that place, too!). We bought about 5 liters per week. According to our math, at current usage levels, it will take about 6 months for the cost of the Soyapower Plus and 13 lbs of Laura soybeans (which should last about 3 months for our use) to "pay for themselves". After that, it's a savings of $7.50 per week (assuming soybeans stay their current cost), plus the soymilk is so much fresher and tastier and there's not so much worry about Aluminum-lined TetraPaks, Hexane-extracted soymilk, running out of soymilk (all the time) or all that trash (why aren't tetrapaks recyclable??)! Someday, we hope to power our house with solar and we'll have a sun-powered Soyapower! We're really looking forward to experimenting with rice, quinoa, peanuts, oats, barley, & even the soup options! And, as a bonus, we get this okara stuff that seems to be super useful! There's even a recipe for Okara Brownies & an Okara Facial! We made vegan Okara Chick'n Cutlets with our 1st batch - YUMMY! NOTE: After I did these calculations, I realized the Laura Soybeans are NOT organic; they are, however, NON-GMO. TIPS: - think about buying two 1L hermetically sealed frigoverre glass jars (you can keep a new batch sealed while you finish a previous batch; or, you can have two different "milks" in the fridge at once) - plus, you can seal them and shake, if needed - we have also considered using 1Qt glass widemouth (personal preference) mason jars with the plastic lids (they are airtight, the metal are not, if not canning) - this can hold a back-up batch, too - use a tea strainer (or a fine mesh) as a second straining - don't freak out too much about the "right" amounts of things. For us, it worked out even though we didn't follow directions to a "T". - a dash of Vanilla Extract was a bit too bitter for me. Cutting it with a small squirt of raw agave was just the right "fix" (but made the milk sweeter than I prefer) - I found the 13lb laura soybeans, with shipping, to be less expensive than other beans in the other places I looked (sadly, Laura are not organic, and there are no bulk soybeans at wegmans) - if you buy soybeans in bulk, look for reusable produce bags (I bought mine here on amazon) - we bought a glass marking pen here on amazon to mark the "flavor" and "born on date" on the frigoverre jars - very helpful! - if you want to make RAW milks, or are looking for a stainless-steel version, check out the SoyaJoy G3 (by Sanlinx). It's sold here on Amazon and I have a review posted there, as well. And remember, take time to enjoy the new milks you'll create! I rely on reviews here at Amazon to help me make informed buying choices. I hope this review has helped you in the same manner.

machine does all that it supposed to do and is pretty easy to clean up. Yes,
color looks like UV-exposed plastic, but no big deal. Build quality is
sufficient, although the latches may be a weak point over time. The top handle
as a nice latch to prevent it from folding while cleaning the head unit. Noise?
Yeah, somewhat, but it doesn't last too long. My biggest complaint? Not very
much milk from the recommended quantity of beans. The good news is that
processing time is quick enough to run 3 batches in an hour if one is so
inclined. We have not experienced any strange metallic tastes. We washed the
steel parts before use, and then ran the batch of beans that came with the
machine.My only concern is soy milk itself. Dr. Mercola has all kinds of bad news about soy. How much is true? I don't know. Are there any objective long term studies on the effects (both positive and negative) of soy milk and soy products on people? (BTW, is Dr. Mercola truly reputable? Are there other nutritional experts who care to comment about soy milk?) 1 of 1 people found the following review

::UPDATE::After writing this review about the annoying glitch my machine was experiencing, Salinx shipped me a BRAND NEW machine, with a return label for my old machine, with no effort or charges to me other than dropping the old one off with UPS with their prepaid label! My machine was not at all even broken, only experience an frequent error! Good service. Upgrading to 5 stars ::UPDATE:: After having this machine for a little under 1 year and using it 1+ times per week, I'd like to share my experience. Let me first start by saying that I love the machine, how easy it (usually) is to operate, how easy it is to clean, and how the almond milk (I do mostly almond, only occasionally soy) is THE BEST ALMOND MILK anywhere. Cons: LONG BEEP! Usually the machine functions without problem, but sometimes it keeps stopping 2-5 minutes after starting (during the initial heating but before the blades start spinning). It stops and makes a single continuous loooooong beeeeeeep (very annoying), and does not run. This has to do with the water level. I always measure the water to between the two lines, but sometimes that is not precise enough. I have to pour out a little water, try running it again, add some water, try running it again, etc. to find the "sweet spot" in between the two lines where it will run. I sometimes have to do this 5 times, and it is a major hassle! I don't read anyone else having this issue, is it just my unit? There are two stainless steel rods that extend down from the motor; a long one for water level and a short one to check for overflow. It sometimes helps prevent "long beep" if I scour these rods good and hard with a sponge before running it again even though they already appear shiny and clean. If anyone else has this issue please reply to my review, I'd be very curious. Pros: Easy to clean. Easy to add ingredients and run. Best almond milk ever. My (very simple) recipe: One of the included little plastic cups filled with almonds, soaked overnight, and then add just a pinch of oats. The oats thicken it up, but if you add too much the milk will become gelatinous. Other thoughts: I wish the plastic pitcher for straining out the okara was also stainless steel instead of plastic. Not really an issue, just personal preference. I don't like using a plastic vessel on such a frequent basis for boiling hot liquid. 2 of 2 people found the following review

machine--needs more filtering,
This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I may be
one of the few people who drink soy milk because I like the beany taste, not
because of the nutritional value or allergies. When I was a kid, we did the
entire process by hand, pressing the beans through cloth (usually a pillow
case), cooking the mixture over a low flame, etc. The process took all day and
included the entire family. I was initially doubtful about this machine because
other reviews stated that the filtering was done outside the machine; and,
indeed, that step is the only flaw in the process. In order to get all of the
soy solids out of the liquid, I had to strain each batch 3 times, with
increasingly finer strainers, ending with a permanent coffee filter. Even with
this extra step, I found that this machine lives up to its promise. The motor is
incredibly powerful--it gets the beans as finely ground as I can get with my
blender--and very quick. In less than 20 minutes, including the extra filtering,
I had fresh soy milk, as good as I had it as a kid. I gave a machine to my
mother, whose English is limited and who is not very comfortable with new
gadgets. She was able to use it with ease. Shipping through Amazon was great--it
was packed in a larger box with extra paper, so there was no damage to the
machine upon receipt. Hope this review is helpful!

great pleasure to write a review for the Soyapower Plus soy milker
maker.Before I bought it, I did a lot of research to make the decision. I am very glad that I did the right thing for my whole family. It Is So Easy. Just soak the soy bean overnight, next morning wash it and add water as instructed, ~20 minunits later, You have fresh, hot, healthy soy milk!! There were several low rate reviews about it. I learned from others that you have to follow the manual to avoid those damage or bad taste output. First, Please Do wash the soaked soybean several times before you put into the machine. The overnight soaked water might not give you a satisfied favor. Second, the soybean you used is important. Think about it, the raw material is the basic of your result. The machine is just a machine, it is not a miracle maker. The key is to buy the organic soy bean from local store. The last but not the least important thing is Never,Ever put the machine head under the water. It is the electric part of the machine. If you do this frequently, please do not surprise that your soy milker maker refused to work later. You kill it because you do not follow the direction. 1 of 1 people found the following review

any additives added to it!! Since I use the milk for fruit smoothies I use it
plain without adding sweeteners or flavoring to it but it does come with a
little book with recipes for different foods and flavorings. An added bonus for
me is I use the Okra (left over bean pulp) for cooking banana bread.All I do to make it is to soak some beans overnight (I soak mine in the refrigerator, it taste better), rinse the beans, add water to the pitcher, put in the beans and plug in. It is so easy to do!! The only drawbacks I have found is when you strain it there is a bit of sediment left over from the beans which is easy to fix just by putting a layer or two of cheese cloth in the strainer and it helps to filter out even more. The second one is just remembering to soak the beans! Personally, for the money, you just cannot beat this product!! It makes the milk quickly, quietly and cheaply!! Well worth the investment!! You are in control of what you put in your body so goodbye to chemicals, additives and preservatives!!! 1 of 4 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I love
this machine! Easy to use, very little waste, and the soymilk is pure and
healthy and cheap! I'm looking forward to trying almond milk as well. The Laura
soybeans are very mild and easy to order, You can't go wrong with this machine.
If you heat the water before you put it in, it takes about 15 minutes to get
soymilk. It's so mild tasting that I haven't been sweetening it. I do like it
made with some brown rice.The okara (bean pulp) which is left over is delicious added to baked goods or used to make burgers. I also found a great dog biscuit recipe: 3 pts okara, 1 pt flour, 1 pt peanut butter. Score, then bake @ 350 20-30 minutes. Break apart and dehydrate until dry to your liking. I've also been making tofu with soymilk from this machine and it is really delicious. I highly recommend this machine. Maybe it's not gorgeous, but I just tuck it into the cupboard. Oh! Forgot to mention - it's also pretty easy to clean. 1 of 1 people found the following review

Excellent machine, easy to operate, easy to clean, works quick and
relatively quietly. I washed the stainless steel parts first before using. I
also soaked the beans with a dash of baking soda for 10 hours and rinsed well. I
added sugar and vanilla extract for excellent flavor. I also cleaned while the
meal was warm and soft.The first batch was excellent and a good learning experience. 3 of 3 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty We owned
a unit with the metal filter that catches all the soy pulp and that was nice,
but super pain in the butt to clean all the tiny little holes in the metal cup.
After that one died (after about 14 months) we used our steamer/Vitamix blender
to make soy milk. That was cheap since we already had the tools but a pain to
filter the milk in a cloth bag and basically way to many dishes dirtied just to
make milk.I bought the Soyapower Plus to make it easy again to have milk in the house all the time. Soak the beans then start Soyapower plus and in minutes milk is ready. The notification that the process is done is loud enough to let you know, but not so loud that you could not ignore it if you are in the middle of something. It does not end until you unplug the unit (well, at least 2 minutes because that is the longest I have let it beep at me). Dumping the milk through the screen is easy and rinsing off the screen even easier and we can still use the soy pulp for making pita bread. A great way to add fiber and protein to pita bread. Overall a great purchase and a great way to make soy milk super cheap at home with little fuss. 1 of 2 people found the following review

The physical design is the product's weakest point by far. Everytime I take it out, I'm a little offended that the minimum of effort didn't go into the looks. It is the color of plastic that has been baking in the sun - a sickly, yellowish color. One buttons on the interface looks like it defaulted to Courier.

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty Just
made my first batch of homemade rice milk. I used 1/2 cup organic long grain
brown rice(not the cup that came with the machine just a standard dry 1/2 cup
measure) and 1 tbsp of oat groats. I followed the directions, soaked the grains
for 6-8 hours, placed them in the container, filled the water between the fill
lines and pushed the rice+ button. The machine did it's thing and in about 20
minutes it beeped. I let it cool down and strained the milk into a glass
container. Very little "okara" was left. The consistency was a little too thick
so I just added some filtered water. I also added some sea salt and some brown
rice syrup to taste and it made quite a bit from just a 1/2 cup. I probably
wouldn't add water if I wanted a "creamer" but since I was looking for milk
consistency I did this time. For very little effort, I will save money, have
fresh rice milk that contains no preservatives and only ingredients that I
approve. Another thing I'm really happy about is I won't have all the stupid
boxes that are left over from rice/almond/oat milk that you can't recycle, so
less waste. As far as the product quality & lasting, I have no idea because
I only just made my first batch. I will update if something goes wrong or in a
few months if everything still works.*update Nov 30, 2011* The rice maker is still working without any issues. I still use the same formula, 1/2 cup of organic long grain brown rice and 1 tablespoon of some other grain. Lately I've been using barley, but you can use oat groats or something else. I think I will try hato mugi next time around. After the rice is done while it is still hot, I drop in 6 chopped dates to sweeten and salt to taste. After it cools off I put it in the blender. I have found the dates sweeten it enough without the need to add brown rice syrup. I have also purchased a 1 QT glass pitcher Bormioli Rocco Frigoverre 78 Ounce Glass Pitcher With Frosted Lid to store the milk which is just the right size if you don't water down your rice milk at all. If you do, get the 2 LT. So far I love this machine! Hope this helps. side note: if you already own a Omega Vert Juicer Omega VRT330 Dual-Stage Vertical Single-Auger Low-Speed Juicer, you can make nut and soy/rice milk with that too. 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I have
used this soymilk maker at least twice a week for the past 2 months. Here are
some things I would have liked to know prior to my purchase. Homemade soymilk
has a "greener" or "grassier" taste than storebought. The machine head does not
form a water tight seal against the pitcher, but I have never had an issue with
my soymilk boiling over. There are 2 fill lines that you can choose from. The
top fill line (which is the one I use) yields 6 cups of soymilk. There are
rubber feet which prevent the device from being "scooted" across the counter. I
have never had an issue of the strainer falling into the pitcher provided by the
company. There is some residual sediment using this strainer, but I lessened the
amount by straining my milk twice. The first strain gets pressed with a rubber
spatula and the okara emptied, then I rinse the strainer well and pour the milk
through again. The pitcher that is supplied is mystery plastic, which might
concern some as you are pouring a hot liquid into it. I recommend purchasing a
glass container to store the milk in. I have had great success in soaking my
beans at room temp for at least 36 hours (not sure I would do this during warmer
weather, though). I do not remove the skins. I did not notice much difference in
taste by removing the skins, but I do notice a difference with shorter soaking
times. To the finished milk, I add 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, 1/2 tsp salt
and 3 T brown sugar to each batch. If you want a creamier mouth-feel, add 1 1/2
T millet per batch (I also soak this). I do not sterilize my equipment or
storage container, and the milk has stayed good for up to 8 days.

when buying almond milk and the like. This machine is phenomenal and a whole lot

It's a very well made product so have no doubts about buying it if you're even only half thinking about it. You also save oodles of money making your own. I do wish there was some kind of on-line recipe book for milk though. I'm still trying to find a better way to sweeten up my milk with out using sugar so that it tastes similar to store bought milks. I tried brown rice syrup but that didn't do the trick. Vanilla doesn't sweeten it at all..it just gives it a vanilla taste which is nice too. I think next I'll try using some organic dates to sweeten it up. Great product! 4 of 4 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty This is
such a great product I had to write my first review. It's reliable, easy to use,
easy to clean and pays for itself very quickly. We own the original soyapower
soy milk maker and loved it, but this is a vast improvement.Here's how it works. Just soak 1/2 cup of soybeans overnight, fill Soyapower Plus with cold water to the indicated line and dump the soaked beans into the water. Clip the motorized top to the bean filled bottom, plug it in, and press the "Soy +" button. Ta da! My TIP, I know others recommend this also: Buy a cheap "gold" reusable coffee filter and some wide mouth quart mason jars. When the machine beeps that its done, just push the coffee filter into the wide mouth mason jar and pour the soymilk through the filter. You will get perfectly filtered soymilk and its already in the jar ready for the fridge. (Use a large spoon to squeeze out the milk faster) Rinse and swish the machine and the whole thing is clean and ready for the next batch. If you buy soymilk, STOP! It's loaded with carageenan and is very expensive. With bulk soybeans from Whole Foods our cost is less than 30 cents a quart! Add sugar or vanilla if you like it sweet. If you have the original soyapower, buy this one anyway. You'll love never having to clean that filter again! 7 of 7 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I am so
very glad to have purchased this machine for a number of reasons.1) CUSTOMER SERVICE rec'd is the HIGHEST and MOST RESPONSIVE I have ever rec'd. 2) The flwg are the benefits of purchasing SOYAPOWER PLUS over another MORE EXPENSIVE machine: READ THIS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE ANY OTHER SOY MILK MAKER!!!!! Quote: The SoyaPower Plus can do everything the 930P does, plus some more: It has insulation to reduce the noise and energy use and also not too hot to touch. It is built more durable, Two safety contact switches vs. one, and also more durable switch design Safety lock to lock the machine head to the pitcher during operation. Four operating buttons for more milk making options It is UL listed while the other is not Not a single part on the 930 is more premium than the SoyaPower Plus. Actually it costs at least 20% more to make the SoyaPower Plus due to the premium components and safer design. SoyaPower Plus also offers same 7-year warranty for $169. Just check user rating on Amazon. Unquote. 3) The "filterless" Soyaplus is very forgiving in terms of quantity of ingredients (within reason) and cleans up amazingly quick as advertised. This flexibility allows a degree of "experimenting" that could not easily be done with other models. 4) The Soyapower Plus does make approx. 20% more milk (efficiency in grinding). 5) It is QUICK. I use boiling water when making soy milk which eliminates having to wait for Soya Plus to heat it. Even using cold water it is only an extra couple of minutes. FYI. 6) A reviewer, Mr. MacGuffin taught me to add 1 tablespoon or two of RAW/ORGANIC Pumpkin seed to make the soy milk taste richer. IT WORKED!!!! My MAIN concern in purchasing any soy milk maker was the consistency. (i.e. Will it be too watery?) Well the addition of pumpkin seeds (no soaking required) just after adding the soy beans made all the difference in the world. In a nutshell, my review has covered: 1) Stellar customer service that literally shocked me. EVERY CONCERN/QUESTION was addressed QUICKLY. 2) Quality of manufacture (i.e. UL listed) 3) "Filterless" flexibility 4) Grinding efficiency resulting in increased milk production 5) It is quick, well insultated (no hot to touch), and less noise. 6) Fantastic consistency with the addition of 1~2 tbsp of RAW pumpkin seeds. I forgot to mention how much FUN it is to make soy milk vs. doing it by hand. Start to finish (using pre-soaked soybeans), it takes 25 minutes and that INCLUDES CLEAN UP - 5 MINS. The SOYAPOWER PLUS and the Sanlinx Co., have my very highest recommendation. PERIOD. 49 of 51 people found the following review

a few minor issues/suggestions with product design,
By
This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I bought
this maker with a few colleagues. As it is my first soy milk maker I don't have
comparisons. However I do believe it works wonders for what it is supposed to
do.I'd skip the PRO parts since it's been said enough, which also compelled me to get this model. Let me jump into the CONs, which is more an annoyance during my use, if people do care. 1. The container heats up very quickly while it's working. I accidentally touched it and almost got burned. I have no doubt it meets safety requirement but if any suggestions I'd say provide better insulation for the bottom container so it won't be uncomfortable to touch/handle. After it is not a cast iron product, around which I'd know to handle with extreme caution. 2. The indication of "COMPLETE" is not clear enough to me. I heard from other people there would be a series of beeping sounds upon completing working cycles. However I missed it as I was watching TV in another room. As I came back and checked on it I couldn't tell where it stood in the working cycle. The reds lights were both still on and stayed RED. I would suggest a GREEN indicator light to signal completion of cycle. It shouldn't take much to do that. 3. The markers for water level are very difficult to read on the reflective/shiny interior material of the container. The lighting is normal in my kitchen. I had to turn it around several times to locate those tiny bars. It's difficult to tell where to stop also as I added water. Those should be clearly marked and visible to users. I don't want to lose my eye sight just by searching for those. Those are tiny issues but a good indicator for quality high-end products, maybe this is not shooting for that category. Some convenience will be appreciated from a regular user, or one planned to be. 4.0 out of 5

Regardless, the product itself is a fine product and I am contemplating ordering

been using this every couple of days since I got it. It's not beautiful or
elegant, but it is quite functional -- VERY easy to use & makes soymilk
quickly, which is what I want from it.The soymilk is delicious & I prefer the full-flavored organic beans that I buy in bulk to make tempeh over the "less-beany" sample that comes with the machine. But that is a matter of taste. Our preference is to add 1/2 to 1 full teaspoon of vanilla, 1 tablespoon of agave syrup and a generous pinch of cardamom to the hot milk. It tastes even better the next day. Clean up is fairly quick & easy; although I can see that if you aren't thorough after each use, you could end up with somewhat of a mess as soy can be as stubborn as egg yolk after it dries. I was pleased with the little accessory package that was included. The strainer & pitcher may not be "top-of-the-line" but they do work quite well for their intended purpose. The strainer fits the top of the pitcher precisely and filters out most of the sediment. We made okara burgers for the first time, using the enclosed recipe book and they were very tasty. I'm really looking forward to making tofu and oncom soon. Economy is the main reason I made this purchase -- we go through 2-4 quarts of soymilk per week and buying organic soymilk is quite expensive, as well as being less eco-friendly with all the packaging. This purchase will pay for itself in a few months, just for soymilk, not to mention tofu and okara uses. My one complaint is the inability to make "raw" milks, e.g., almond, sunflower, etc., due to the lack of controls to eliminate or reduce the heating portion of the process. If you use soy on a regular basis, I urge you to go organic and whole-food or home-processed, as many commercial soy products involve the use of hexane, which is a neurotoxin (visit [...] or google "soy hexane" and research it for yourself). The SoyaPower Plus is a wonderful tool to help you control what's in your soy foods. 2 of 2 people found the following review

to making homemade soy milk and tofu, so I thought I would try with just a
blender and appliances I already owned. The process worked well but it was very
time consuming and messy.I broke down and decided to invest in the higher end machine, the SoyaPower Plus Soymilk Maker. I received it within a week of my order. I have to say I am thrilled with the quality of the appliance and it's capabilities. Very easy to use and clean, and comes with lots of great recipe ideas. Accommodates creativity with all kinds of grain & bean combinations. If you purchase your beans and grains in bulk it will surely pay for itself over and over and over again. The quality assurance of homemade milks in itself is worth the investment! I can't wait to experiment further! 2 of 2 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I wrote
this review several weeks ago, and noticed that there was a reply from someone
at the company. As a result, they communicated with me personally, and are
sending me a replacement soymilk maker. I am now really happy with the customer
service, so this review is now a positive one. I think it's great that this
company monitors and responds to customer reviews, and follows through with
excellent customer service.Original review, before customer service assistance: I was really excited about this soymilk maker. I bought it 8 months ago. I make soymilk 2-3 times a week. At first I was not happy about no on/off switch, but not too big of a deal. I quickly realized that clean up is tricky, since you have to keep water from entering the top of the soymilk maker, yet you are trying to wash the area just below it. After a few uses, the buttons stopped beeping, and I emailed the manufacturer. They answered me promptly, and offered to replace it if it was broken, but also cautioned me about getting water in the head. They suggested I let it dry fully, and be more careful. That did work, and I have been more careful. However this month, the soymilk maker has started to either beep or not beep when it's supposed to, and finally, it no longer finishes the grind cycle. I emailed the manufacturer again, but have gotten no response. For this price, 8 months is not a very good lifespan. Also, if the design of the product leads to it breaking if water gets into the head, that is problematic. Now I need to throw this away (which is frustrating, because partly I make soymilk to avoid throwing away all the cartons), and also find a better product to purchase. 3 of 3 people found the following review

review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk

purchased this Soyapower
Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk maker because in addition to
soymilk, it may be used for almond milk and rice milk. Understand, the product
produced at home is quite different from the ones in the grocery. The process is
different, ingredients are different and the taste is different, and the ones on
the shelves are produced for long-term storage. So do not expect this to be a
miracle machine that makes milks that taste like the commercial ones. Do expect
it to produce wholesome milks very inexpensively. However, your finished milks
will not be any better than the ingredients you use. If you use old, stale or
poorly stored nuts and grains, it will be reflected in the taste. As it turns
out, I cannot use soymilk, but I love the almond and rice milks that I make with
this appliance. They are great for smoothies, and for cooking. The
byproduct,okara,is a wonderful addition to baked goods, oatmeal, pancakes, etc.
I even add some to my meatball mix. YUM.

From them on, every day morning, the first thing is make a bottle of soybean milk for my family after I wake up. It's very easy to operate and after-use cleanup. These days, when someone drink my delicious soy milk, I will not hesitate to recommend this SoyaPower Plus Milk Maker.

SoyaPower Plus is a gadget well worth finding a space for it! Have only used soy

good, left alone or with a little vanilla and sugar or honey added. Easy to use,
easy to clean. Saving money, no unwanted ingredients and it works very well with
my food storage plan, which is more challenging without milk and other dairy

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty While I
bought this to economize on soy milk, I've found I like the homemade so much
better than commercial soy milk. Even using top-of-line organic non-gmo beans, I
calculate about 35 cents a batch, and the batch is almost 6 cups. Sometimes I
put it all in jars and chill, other times I put up just 1 quart and drink the
rest still hot. (Especially good with a bit of honey or maple syrup)I will say that milk made from plain soybeans can be very plain tasting, but there are so many ways to add variety: 80% soybeans/20% brown rice makes it slightly sweet and noticeably creamier; using white rice gets the creaminess without sweetness - Soy can also be mixed with other beans, for different color & taste - After the processing, add whatever flavorings & sweeteners you like. The machine takes out all the kitchen drudgery and mess of making milk, just soak beans/grains/nuts 8-12 hours, pour off the soaking water, put fresh water in the machine with the food, and pick the appropriate cycle. Cleanup is easy as well, and to give it a head start, immediately after pouring the soy slurry into the filter I refill the machine with water so it cools and soaks while I deal with putting up the milk (e.g. adding chocolate or vanilla) The entire process is finished within 30 minutes, and should be even quicker if the machine is loaded with hot water rather than cold, as the process involves grinding beans at or above 180 degrees F., and keeping hot while grinding. Realizing I've had the machine less than one month, I cannot yet comment on mechanical reliability, but can say it appears well built and has had no trouble handling everything I've put in it so far. I highly recommend this one. 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty First I
should emphasize that it is actually filter free. Some part of the recipe is
strange, because it is said:put the beans into the filter; then laterly I
noticed that manual said: put the bean directly into the container. I think some
part of the recipe is for the old model, but not this one. So I was confused a
little at the beginning.It is easy to use, the soy milk is exactly the same taste as when I was young. All soy-milk sold in store is very thick, must including other materials other than soybeans. Therefore, it is more safe to make my own soy-milk with the natural taste. The real and natural soy-milk can't last more than one days because of no preservatives, so you should drink it right after you make it or put it into fridge within less than two days. Everyone said it is easy to clean, but it still needs patience to clean, by the brush. The downside of all soymilk machine is that the head of the machine can't be washed, but the major part is attached to the head and can't be removed. So it is still need time to wash it completely and cleanly. Another suggestion is that I hope Soyapower gives more recipe. If it is not easy to print a different manual, set a blog part into Soyapower's website and let the consumer to submit different recipe there will be a best choice. It is hassle free and always up to date. I haven't make Tofu yet, will report what the Tofu looks like. 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk

guys but I really don't have time to write an adequate review. Suffice to say
that I have owned this product now for about two weeks and have made two
different types of "milk" every three days or so. The first was a straight soy
milk. As the other reviewers have so eloquently pointed out, it is quite natural
tasting and I've found that the addition of some flavoring takes it to a whole
new level. As for the second concoction, I followed the hemp seed and oat recipe
posted by another reviewer and found it to be amazing. It was rich, creamy, and
smooth. It had the mouth-feel of drinking whole milk! My kids even loved
it!As for the clean up, it is indeed quite fast and easy. The color? It doesn't really phase me because I store it in my cabinet. The only suggestion I'd like to offer is that you use a tempered glass pitcher to store the milk. There is just too much information out there on dioxins leaking out of plastic containers when they are exposed to extreme heat or cold. I'm really not sure if this is akin to urban legend or not, but as far as I'm concerned it's not worth the risk... especially if you're the sort to make your own alternative milk!

and indispensible machine,
This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty While
everyone will have a different experience with soy milk machines, I have to
admit I really like this machine. It was a ton of fun to use. If you look in the
photo albums, I'll have pictures of my usage with it.Shipping from Sanlinx was very fast. I received my machine within days of the order. It was double-boxed with one plain brown packing box over the retail box for the unit. Inside the retail box, it appeared that recycled cardboard was used to keep it packed safely. There were no dings or tears on the packaging. Inside my box was not only the soymilk making machine, but my tofu making kit. Tofu making in another note. Inside my Soyapower Plus box was the soy milk maker STEEL canister, a plastic canister with handle, fine steel mesh strainer, cleaning kit that includes a scrub brush and green scrubbing thin pad, the soy milk maker STEEL blender/crusher piece with heating element, tornado funnel, separate power cable, 100g measuring cup, and enough Laura beans for making 2 batches of soymilk. Everything seemed fairly intuitive, but I read the directions anyway because I didn't want to accidentally break something. Here is a basic process for making soy milk (not my recipe, see other notes for that): * Soak 3/4 to 1 measuring cup of soybeans (the cup with the machine, not a standard US cup) 8hrs to overnight. * Fill the canister to the water fill lines. (These are raised metal lines inside the canister) * Add the soybeans. * Attach the tornado funnel to the blender/machine piece (quick twist on to lock) * Insert the blender piece inside the canister and flip the locks (makes it like a pressure cooker) * Plug the unit up, and press the Soybean button * Wait until it beeps and strain milk through the strainer (separates the solid okara from the milk) into the plastic canister Outside of soaking, this process of setting up the unit to make milk takes less than 5 minutes and then the milk making process is about 20 minutes without you having to do a thing. This was incredibly easy to do. I really enjoyed making soy milk with this and it was super, super easy. Clean up was a snap. I rinsed with warm water and then soapy water. Where okara 'stuck' to the unit, I used the cleaning tools provided with the unit and was easily done in minutes. I think I spent maybe 3 minutes cleaning up after I was done and that was the first time I used. Quality of the milk made was great. And of course, you get to decide how you want to make your milk and how it will taste. There are no preservatives, so I give it a max of 3 to 5 days in the fridge. Though you do want to use some sort of thickener or stabilizer if you're going to put it in your coffee. I had curdling when adding to hot liquid so I'm still working on that. The unit is surprising lightweight as well and the construction very sturdy. I have experienced very few leaks from the seal at the top. Those can occur if you do not measure the water and beans correctly. Mostly water from boiling. It makes very little noise, it is actually much quieter than my blender and food processor. The outside can get warm, it is boiling water and beans after-all, but it does not burn your hands if you touch it. A plus if you have kids. In addition, there is no internal filter, so this also helps with clean up and reduces any restrictions from the amount of beans, nuts, or grains you want to make into milk. The instructions were very easy to follow and they include a recipe book that is SEPARATE from the primary instructions. I love that because I was able to add it to my little recipe bookshelf and store the instructions and warranty information elsewhere. In addition, this unit can make rice milk, mung bean milk, and other bean, nut and grain milks just by selecting different options on the control panel. The recipe book includes ideas and recipes on how to make these and which option you should pick but they say you are completely free to experiment. I do have to say the motor is very powerful and the beans are ground very, very fine to extract as much milk as possible. My only thing is that I would LOVE if they included some sort of lid for the plastic container you drain the milk into. However, I did happen to have one that mostly fit. There is a slight lip in the container for allowing to pour easily. I also have transferred the milk to this cute 1 quart container I have that has a lid. -- This review was recently created for the Soy Milk Facebook fanpage ([...]), of which I am the creator and lead administrator. You can also find several detailed pictures of the unit in the photo albums on the fanpage. 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I have
had the Soyapower
Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk maker for about one year now
and have never had any problems with it. I would highly recommend purchasing it
if you are interested in making your own soy milk and saving money.THE MACHINE It is sort of a light green color from the 70s and not white at all. I would have preferred white, but I'm not terribly concerned about it. What struck me when I first got it is how sturdy and simple the machine was. I have used it a lot over the last year and it looks and works the same as it did the first day. It may not be pretty, but it gets the job done. It is also worth the cost. I used to spend at least 10 dollars a week on store-bought soy milk, so even considering the cost of ingredients, this machine quickly paid for itself. PERFORMANCE The process is very simple. 1. Rinse the soybeans. 2. Let them soak a few hours. 3. Put the soybeans in the machine with some water. 4. Plug in the machine and press a button. 5. After some noisy churning (about the same level as a vacuum cleaner), it will beep incessantly, so you have to unplug it. 6. Let it cool down for a while. 7. Pour the milk through a strainer into a container. 8. Clean the machine (it is better to do this sooner rather than later)--VERY easy. 9. This is optional, but I would recommend buying a couple of plastic pitchers. I make two or three batches a week, and it is good to have a closed container on hand for storing it in the refrigerator. The one that comes with the machine has no cover, and because there is only one, you would have to go without soymilk until the next batch is ready. MILK TASTE Honestly, I prefer the sweet taste of Vanilla Soy Silk to the soy milk that the machine produces. I feel more comfortable eating organic and controlling what goes into my body, though. I've gotten used to the flavor over time. I use Arrowhead Mills organic soybeans and put in a bit of vanilla extract to give it some sweetness. TOFU You can also make tofu with it. The process is not very difficult, but I did not do such a great job with the tofu, and it was a little more trouble than it was worth. Of course, this is the opinion of someone who doesn't mind missing a few meals because he is too lazy to cook sometimes. 3 of 3 people found the following review

complaints about the machine itself. It looks nice, compact enough to store in
the cabinet, easy to use, and does a great job automating almost the entire
process. The only hands on part is straining the milk once the machine is all
done. My only complaint, having absolutely nothing to do with the machine, is
that there is going to be a good amount of trial and error to figure out the
recipes. My first try was with Almonds. i followed the directions in the book
exactly and got cloudy flavorless nut water. The water i had used to soak the
almonds in probably had more flavor than what i got out of the machine. I don't
blame the machine for that though. I blame inexperience. So much of this is
individual preference for taste, texture, and thickness, that there's no one
size fits all recipe. Next time i'm going to try it with less water to make it
thicker, and i read online that oats can be added to thicken it up and make it a
little creamier. Probably try adding some sugar too. Just the same, the machine
itself rocks. Good buy.update. First couple of batches using Soy Beans had a very strong egg smell. It was really gross. Whether it was the reason or not, i shortened the soak time from 6 hours to about 2 1/2 and the smell completely disappeared. 5.0 out of 5

It works great for that, though the one time I tried to make oat milk it didn't

to read other reviews; my experience might have been due to user error. The
machine is easy to clean and easy to use, with the only detriments being that it
is a bit loud, ugly, and the "hey your soymilk is done" beep is incessant and
sounds like a ticking timebomb. Still, those are minor gripes and the key point
is that it works and doesn't require a lot of head-scratching to fire up.

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk

very pleased with the Soyapower Plus soy milk maker that I recently purchased.
It shipped quickly and was well packaged without excessive use of packing
materials.The instruction manual is easily used and has a 'troubleshooting section' with suggestions to try to resolve most problems one encounters when using a new machine. It is very easy to load and assemble and run. Noise is often a considertion with these and this one is relatively quiet. A grinding process is bound to make a little noise after all. Straining the milk is not to difficult but takes a bit of time to accomplish successfully. Cleaning the machine can be a challenge the first couple of times but once you establish a routine it goes smoothly. I would suggest that one does some 'homework' prior to purchasing this device. 1. Unless you don't mind paying the freight on shipped soybeans locate sources in your area prior to purchase. 2. Have or purchase a suitable storage container before you have need for it. It should be: a) fairly easy to fill and have a cap or seal, b) be completely washable, c) suitable to being sanitized to minimise spoilage of product. Although I have yet to make anything other than soymilk with this machine it would work just as well for the other listed uses as it is very powerful and grinds very well. 3 of 3 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty Having
been a vegan for thirty five years, and having reared six children, our family
has consumed a lot of soymilk over the years. Many years ago I tried making my
own in a large stainless pot, and just like everyone says, the most time
consuming part of the process is waiting for the milk to come to a boil, then
being right there to keep it from almost immediately boiling up and over onto
the stove. This was in the days before aseptic soymilk was readily available,
and certainly before the local grocery store offered it fresh. I was soon a
convert to convenience, and we went through many cases of soymilk, unable to
easily recycle the packaging.When a friend sent me a link to the Sanalinx soymilk maker site, I knew I had to try one out. The box came quickly by UPS (so be sure to use your house address with Amazon, not a P.O. Box), and my package was in a sturdy outer cardboard box which protected the inner box. I opened it up, looked at the manual and recipe book, washed the machine parts, and soaked the small package of enclosed soybeans the night before. In the morning I rinsed the beans, added water between the raised fill lines in the lower part of the machine, added the beans, clamped on the top, having attached the volcano filter (which has holes big enough for soybeans to pass through, and which goes around the four sharp blades that do the grinding), plugged the power cord into the machine, then into the wall, and chose the Soybean selection button. Immediately the machine set to work. First it was very quiet, heating up the water. I got to work around the kitchen with some chores I had to do. Suddenly there was a grinding noise coming from the machine, and I looked nervously over at it, wondering if it was self destructing. Then it was quiet again. Then it ground the beans. This happened a few times, and the sudden noise can startle you at first, but soon you get used to it. It is muffled and not too obnoxious. Before I knew it (in under twenty minutes)the machine blinked and beeped to tell me it was finished. So soon! I unplugged the machine from the wall, then from the unit, and I unclamped it, which is easy to do, the fittings being somewhat loose, though not in a bad way, to my thinking. I poured the soymilk easily into the strainer over the plastic jug, and sprayed off the hot grinding unit with my dish sprayer. I set the heating elements into a large stainless bowl in my sink and let it fill up with water (not above the point where you aren't supposed to get the machine wet). This helps in future cleanup. I sprayed out the bottom section. At this point, if I were making several batches in a row (each produces a liter and a half)I would begin the process again. Otherwise, if you are finished making soymilk for the day, it will take a few short minutes to use the included scrub brush and cleaning pad to fine tune the cleanliness of the stainless mechanisms and wipe out the stainless inside of the bottom section. This was not a difficult chore, and does not detract from my enjoyment of my machine. I flavor the milk in the plastic jug (a sprinkle of salt and some sweetener and vanilla helps my children like it better, though none of this is necessary) before pouring it into a clean glass jar. It is still hot at this point, so I let it sit out by the refrigerator to cool somewhat before refrigerating. If I were making just the liter and a half per morning (all one person or a small family would need), my work, including cleanup, would be done in half an hour, including a lot of free time to get some chores done. It is recommended you stick around while the machine is working, just in case. But there is lots to be done around the kitchen while it does all the hard work of making soymilk for you. I am just amazed that I can get such good tasting soymilk in such quantities so easily. I am thrilled to no longer contribute packaging waste to the earth. I spent $120 on the machine and $55 on 50 pounds of soybeans which look like they will last me a very long time. We were spending at least $80 a month on soymilk, before. The machine will have paid for itself, the beans, and any flavorings in less than three months, and from then on the only cost will be my time and electricity usage (still to be determined), until I have to buy more soybeans in about a year. I got the machine with the two year guarantee. If it ever breaks, I am sure I will either get it fixed by Sanalinx, or purchase another, because I am very satisfied. This is like a new hobby for me. I am enjoying trying out different bean/grain combinations. It will also make nut milk or hemp milk. I imagine it would make sesame and sunflower milk, too. This morning I will try the soy/quinoa one I made yesterday. If you hit on one nobody much likes (my first batch wasn't as popular), it is great to have a bunch to make pudding or a smoothie. Nobody is complaining, then! It has only been a week, and already my children have adjusted to this new kind of soymilk. They give me pointers on which kind they prefer, so I keep adjusting the next batch, as to mixtures I try out. I have tried to add calcium to the milk (being sure it is not calcium sulfate, which would make it turn into curds), but so far that hasn't been as successful for me. I need to work on that some more. Be sure to try your soymilk cold the first time you let your family taste test it. The flavor is quite bland, then. When it is hot, you might think it will end up tasting beany--but it doesn't when it's cool. Oh, and the whole family liked the soysage I made with the okara. It is good with spaghetti or in the morning. The recipe is in The Farm cookbook. I cooked it in a big handle-less pan in 5 cups of water in my large pressure cooker for half an hour, then scooped out balls/patties of it to fry up on both sides. It makes a yummy snack or sandwich filling, also. Tofu is easy to make using the soymilk maker, but you have to have the time to run four batches before you can get enough to make a big block. It tastes very fresh, but I am not sure this will end up being my preferred use of the machine. Just having the soymilk is good enough for me. 3 of 3 people found the following review

this to make hemp milk and am really pleased with the results. I know exactly
what is in my milk and it is quick and easy to make. I will be saving a bundle
on buying Hemp milk and can make it up as needed and not worry about whether it
will be in stock at the store. Clean up is extremely easy. The only con on this
machine would be the color. None of my other white appliances have this greenish

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty Twenty
years ago, we gave up dairy (AKA TCBMM- the country's best mucus maker) and
switched over to "white gold" - soymilk - but it stung that the boxed quarts
were the same price as a whole gallon jug of the cow's milk we left behind.
Alas, soon soy has its own dark side - high TSH, enzyme inhibitors resulting in
chronic amino acid and protein deficiencies, and estrogenic effects. Here we
were, drinking soy milk and also eating all sorts of soy isolates - and health
issues made us realize we humans are the only animal choosing to eat soy.
Duh!So we moved away from the claws of ADM into the arms of a much-maligned, but increasingly bright star, hemp seed. (According to [...], hemp seed is an amazing powerhouse of protein, similar to that of human blood, has all the necessary amino acids, "and the 3:1 ratio of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids our bodies need to be healthy. Hemp seeds also contain sufficient quantities of zinc, iron, and magnesium, three of the most common metals/minerals implicated in mineral deficiency diseases.") Yes! Children of the 60's, we got hooked on hemp (THC free!) and enjoyed the seeds on salads, in smoothies, and over entrees. But we missed milk - and hemp milk, while tasty, cost twice as much as soy. I tried making hemp milk in a blender and with a nutmilk bag, but like soymilk, produced not so great milk for the effort - and cost - required. And then I chanced upon an an article describing the advances - and dropping prices - of alter-milk-making machines, such as the "Soyapower Plus" which included in its name its doubling as a "rice milk maker, nut milk maker". The price seemed fair - it promised six cups of milk from only half a cup of nuts or seeds. Now, every two days, I make at least one batch of hemp/oat milk from 1/2 cup Nutiva organic seed, also from Amazon, 1/4 cup OG rolled oats and 6 cups filtered H20. I add a tad of agave or rice syrup, a dash of salt, and a dribble of vanilla to create a rich creamy beverage. That adds up to $1 a quart compared to a retail of four bucks! Similar value is had from almond/walnut milk- about 50 cents/quart and rice milk is a steal at about 30 cents a quart. Here I am getting half again as much milk for half the price at the co-op! Of course, they had me when it said SEVENTEEN minutes to "brew" a batch - and that part is true - I stopwatch-timed it! Cleanup is a cinch --- trust me, this is NOT your mother's milk making ritual - you just wash the steel pitcher and the mechanism and the strainer and the bowl --- well, okay it is work, but it is still quicker than driving to the store to BUY yet another box you then have to reuse or recycle. So, yeah, if you're sitting on the fence about getting one of these machines, give it up - espesh if YOUR DBH also wants to catch up from all those years of deprivation of "who drank all the ___ milk?" We figure this machine will pay for itself in THREE TO FOUR months - If you make one batch just ten times a month (a total of 15 quarts), you will have "spent" about $7 to $10 for what would have cost you $30 to $40 at the store. Do the math, and then do the Amazon Prime shuffle. 3 of 3 people found the following review

a great soy milk maker. It is very heavy, durable, and easy to use. I love that
I can make my own milk and not have to go to the store for it. My youngest
daughter loves the milk warm right after I make it. The milk smells "beany" when
it is warm but tastes really good. I am still working out my "perfect recipe"
but all that I have tried have been good. The Milk comes out as a pretty
off-white color. I don't feel like I need to strain the milk anymore than I do
already with the strainer it came with. It is really easy to clean if you clean
it right away, otherwise it takes a little more scrubbing, but it is still not
all that hard to clean. I recomend this soy milk maker to whoever wants an
economic, healthy alternative to store bought milk/soymilk.

Product, Excellent Soy Milk (and Tofu!) Pays for Itself Fast,
By
Maud (St. Louis, MO) - See
all my reviews This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty When I
made my own tofu 25 or 30 years ago, it was a time consuming process involving
stock pots and a commercial blender which resulted in a beany soy milk that made
a beany tofu. This soy milk machine is my first automatic machine; I got it so
that I could conveniently make organic soy milk and tofu from locally sourced
soy beans. This machine is so easy to use and clean that I use it
often.The Soyapower Plus soy milk maker makes absolutely delicious soy milk, which in turn allows you to make absolutely delicious home made tofu. In the City of St. Louis we have wonderful tap water that doesn't need to be filtered, and as a result my soy milk tastes better than store-bought (although of course it is not thickened or sweetened.) I purchased the machine from the manufacturer's site in order to take advantage of the sample Laura non-GMO soy beans and the ability to purchase nigari and gypsum coagulants. In the first two months I have made both soy milk and tofu. This machine makes soy milk in about 20 minutes, and (unlike my juicer) clean-up takes about two minutes. As other reviewers have noted, there is no on/off switch so it beeps annoyingly until you come to unplug it. It seems structurally sturdy although the latches seem flimsy and I wonder how they will hold up. Other than the Apple II color, these are the only flaws in an otherwise wonderful product. The sound insulation of this soy milk maker really quiets the process. The initial sound is the water coming to a boil very rapidly. After several grinding cycles, it simmers the pulverized beans. The controls turn the blender on and off several times during the automatic cycle, so it's only loud occasionally. My cats don't even leave the kitchen. I have so far made one batch of tofu, which requires two batches of soy milk, coagulated with nigari. This tofu was so different from the home made tofu I used to make so long ago! To use an analogy, if the tofu I used to make was full grain bread and today's silken grocery store tofu is white bread, the tofu made with the soy milk from the Soyapower Plus is artisan bread. The texture is light and fluffy but not silken, and the flavor is rich without being beany. It's delicious warm or cold. So, as far as this automatic soy milk maker goes, it's the beginning of a beautiful friendship. At two batches per week, I figure it will pay for itself in less than six months. Each batch of soy milk only requires 100 grams of soy beans, so you will get four and a half batches of soy milk from a pound (about 450 grams) of soy beans. If you pay a dollar sixty-nine for a pound of organic soy beans, each one point five liter batch will cost thirty-eight cents plus the cost of electricity, or about fifty cents per half gallon. Silk soy milk costs about four dollars for a half gallon, so in round numbers you save about three and a half dollars per half gallon of soy milk by making your own with the Soyapower Plus. That means this soy milk maker will pay for itself after about forty-five batches. If you make two batches per week, that means it pays for itself in less than six months...and that's not even factoring in the savings if you decide to make your own tofu. 2 of 3 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I wanted
soy milk maker for a long time. My daughter likes to drink it. We bought Silk
brand from Costco. It's fine. But I don't like the sweet taste of Silk brand. My
mom used to make it from scratch. After search, especially after reading reviews
in Amazon, I decided to buy this model based on Farrier Mom's review since I
wanted the machine not just makes soy milk, I wanted it can make all different
nut milks too. Before I got it, my friends warned me about machine quality. She
told me she bought one a few years ago. It violated all US electronic standard.
But, this one is totally different. It is very well constructed and manufacture
did pay attention to little thing. It is very quiet (much quiet than my Blendtec
Total Blender). I got it last Wed, arrived earlier than estimated time in my
invoice. So far I made 3 batches, two for soy bean, one for almond. They came
out great. I love the original soy milk taste, no sugar, no any other
ingredients other than water and soy bean. I like to drink warm. My daughter
like to drink cold. So far we are very happy with this machine.I will try mix grains, nut next time. I bought a set of glass wares from Costco to store the leftover. One batch, with water between two line in the container, can last for about 2 days. The package came with plastic pitcher, brush and strainer. Washing is not too difficult. My mother in law and sister in law came yesterday. They tasted my home made soy milk. They love it. I planned to order one for each of them for their birthday gift. There is only one little thing confused me. In the instruction, it said add water in between two lines in the container. I expected these two lines are far distance apart. But it only has 0.5 inch apart. There is no picture in the instruction brochure showing the water lines and there is no words showing right next to the lines inside container. I just had to leap on my faith - try and error and see how it works. Thank God, it seemed work fine so far. I would suggest that manufacturer to make this more clear, add a picture in brochure, it will take out the confusion. Also, I would like to know what is the reason to add water in between two line. I went thru the recipes came with the package, nowhere mentioned that we need to use top line or lower line for water measurement. If so, I am just wondering why not just print one line there. Anyway, this is still a very good machine. I highly recommend to people who want to have home made soy milks or any nut milks. 2 of 2 people found the following review

milk maker makes great soy milk, and I've tried some of the beans and grain

The instructions do say however, "It's okay to try", a translation-challenged comment that says just try a cycle with different ingredients, but I wonder if anyone has a suggestion about which cycle to try to make almond milk or has had success in making a nut milk? 1 of 1 people found the following review

This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty I was
divided on which soymilk maker to buy as nobody I knew had one and none are
available locally, so I had no way to get personal opinions or to examine any.
Finally I found someone who has the Joyoung which is the same as this, but with
the start buttons in Chinese and English both, and decided to get the same model
with the English only - the Soyapower Plus.Although nobody else seems to care much about this I think they would sell more if they took a tip from makers of rice steamers and beautified their product up a bit. Say by making it in solid white or in white with pink pastel flowers cascading down the front and by making the button strip black with white lettering maybe. Drop the teacup on the lid and replace it with a bunch of flowers. As it is, no woman would want to display it on their counter. It is definitely a man's design. I myself bought it in spite of its ugliness. Besides that, it works perfectly. It is very quiet and sounds like a dishwasher when it is grinding the beans, otherwise it is silent. When it is finished, it makes a very soft beeping sound. It was at the most warm to the touch on the outside. It also cleaned up very quickly and easily with just a wet dishcloth. At first the milk it made was bitter, but I bought new beans and this time it came out perfectly. I sweetened it with agave nectar, which both costs and tastes the same as honey but which is easier to stir into cold drinks, and added a capful of vanilla extract. The hardest part about making the milk was rubbing the transparent skins off the soaked soybeans before I put them in the machine. (Doing this is supposed to make the milk sweeter.) The recipe calls for one half cup standard American dry measure of dry beans (the enclosed cup that comes with it is one half cup standard American dry measure), making it very economical. One thing is that the plastic pitcher they give with it has no lid so you might want to buy something to store the finished milk in. All in all, I am very glad I bought the machine. 2 of 2 people found the following review

This

shopped soymilk makers for almost a year before deciding on this machine. We are
so glad we did. It makes soymilk wonderfully that tastes great. It is EASY to
clean. It is very economical. It is exceptionally efficient and versatile. We
wanted to find a soymilk maker that could be used with almonds, cashews,
garbanzo beans, mung beans, rice and more. We found that with this machine. The
beautiful thing is it does it for you. Just push one button and you have milk in
about 15 min. Two suggestions: One, by a Vita Mix to go with it. We make the
milk, pour it directly into our Vita Mix and then mix whatever fruit or
sweetener we want to use. Two, clean the machine right after use. That
suggestion is common sense if you use anything stainless steel to cook with-
otherwise things stick rather well to it.

ok as promised. Made a batch of soymilk. Soaked soybeans for 7-8 hrs. Added
water, then soaked beans. Inserted power head. Plugged in. Touched soymilk
button. Machine started up. Made a little noise when the auger turned on. After
about 20 min., had over a liter of soymilk. (from about 1 c. of dry beans).
After waiting a few minutes for the machine to cool, I poured the cooked mixture
into the strainer and the handy provided pitcher. There was quite a bit of the
mash, but you just let it drain awhile, and it works out fine. I haven't tried
cooking with the mash...has the consistency of mush.(supposed to make a good
"cheesecake" out of the stuff). After the milk cooled, I tried it. It tasted
great, probably 4--5 times as thick as some unsweetened commercial stuff I've
had (at less than 1/4 the price). Cleanup takes awhile..and there is a smell
similar to scalded milk, but since you only need to make a batch every few days,
it really isn't too much of a problem. It makes a great "creamer" for coffee,
too.

from 'The Joy of Cooking', where they recommend sometimes discarding soak water

By
Diva's Mama (MD, USA) - See
all my reviews This
review is from: Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut milk
maker, and soup maker, largest capacity, with 2-year warranty This is
the first time I'm using a soy milk machine. My friend recommended the SoyaJoy
but when they came out with this I wanted to try it. I bought it directly from
them so whatever I describe here is whatever came in the box from them. The
first time I made the soy milk from the Laura beans sample they sent with the
package and it smelled beany and strong. The instructions actually warned that
it may have a metallic smell and to throw away the first batch if that happened.
Well, I've been making soy milk since then and the smell/flavor is now milder.
So I don't think it's the Laura beans, I think it was just the first batch. I
experimented with different beans, rice and grains and had fun with the results.
I do soak them first before I use them.At first, I added 1/4 tsp salt and 1 TBSP of sugar (they recommend 3 TSBP of brown rice syrup) but now we drink it plain. It comes with a wire mesh strainer but I also strain it a second time with cheesecloth because it is a little grainy to me. I don't use the plastic container it comes with for the straining because I wasn't sure about pouring hot liquid into a plastic container. I strain it straight into my own glass pitcher (for hot beverages). Clean up is indeed easy, like cleaning a blender. If I leave it out too long though before washing it, it would take a little more muscle to scrub it, but so would anything that was left to dry out and cake up. I buy my soy beans from a local organic store at around $1.75/pound. I think that means it costs me about 30-50 cents to make a batch comparable to a carton of soy milk that costs $2+ at the store. It makes less than 6 cups I would say. Maybe I'm not adding enough water, but usually I get more like 5 cups. I have been able to use the okara (left over "pulp") from the soy beans in soups/stews and pasta sauces. My family thinks I've been adding cheese to the sauce! I use it like ricotta/parmesean cheese in some recipes and also make okara burgers. Nothing has gone to waste. I freeze whatever I don't use. Honestly, I didn't like using it in "cheesecake" recipes. I still prefer using tofu for that. But it has been fun overall using the okara for more savory recipes. 8 of 9 people found the following review

June 3, 2009 Dear Sanlinx, If a woman can love a machine, I love my SoyaPower Plus Soymilk Maker. I had been buying commercial organic soymilk for years, always running out, always feeling guilty for throwing all those cartons in the trash. So I decided to investigate buying a maker. Wendy Wang was very helpful in answering all my questions via email. I knew what to expect when my machine arrived and I was already comfortable with it. The instructions were easy to follow and it’s so easy to use with very few steps. In about 15 minutes it’s ready and the clean-up is also easy. It’s quiet, too, and I like that it is stainless steel. I still am amazed how less than a cup of soybeans can produce such a flavorful, rich, and smooth drink. While it’s still hot I add about 2T. of honey, 1/2t. sea salt, and 1/4 t. of almond extract. I like the fresh taste, hot or cold. My husband makes fruit smoothies with soymilk for breakfast and I drink 8oz every afternoon at work to ward off hunger till dinnertime.

Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2009 1:19 AM Thanks for writing. It works great. The soymilk is starting to rub off on the
kids. The grandkids love it. It's good stuff. I'm making 4 - 6 batches every 3
- 5 days. Guess I should have signed up for the warranty. I'm sure I am going to
wear it out before it rusts out. Thanks again. Joe. Hi Wendy
I am quite happy with the soymilk maker (SoyaPower Plus). I use it mostly
for cooking since my older children do not like the beany taste of pure soy
milk. I guess they are spoiled by the comercial brands. When my husband,
baby, and myself drink it, I mix one batch of soy, one batch of rice/oat
(1/4 cp rice w/ 1Tbs oats) and add a scant 1/4 cp sugar.
Adding the Okara to my usual scratch brownie recipe makes the BEST light,
fluffy brownies ever.

best investment and Christmas gift I received last year.
The SoyaPower Plus works wonderfully for us. My wife and I borrowed two other soymilk makers (with filters) from our friends and did 3 blind taste tests. Each and every time the SoyaPower came out on top! I was first dubious about the hand strainer, but now I actually find that it makes the machine more versatile, since I actually enjoy drinking soymilk without filtering it. It also made it easier for my wife and I to experiment with the okara in our cooking. So, THANKS! I've already been spreading the words to my friends about my new favorite toy in the kitchen.

Suppose I

I purchased this unit because I am opposed to human consumption of dairy products and I prefer soymilk for health reasons. I first tried a SoyToy unit after reading NotMilk.com, but didn't like its performance or soymilk quality, so I returned it. After doing extensive research on the Internet, I purchased the SoyaPower unit from you. It seemed like a much better design and was available for a much lower price. I used it for the first time this morning and, I must say, It has proved to be a vastly superior machine and makes excellent soymilk. I now see why presoaking the beans makes such a difference.

I purchased one of your machines a couple months ago and I want to tell you it is one of the best investment I have made. I am a diabetic and I was unable to drink milk because the high amount of sugar. I have been buying a powdered soy milk at $2.35 a gallon the past couple years. It was all right but not as good as milk. I was ready to buy another years of supply when I came across your web site. I thought what did I have to lose but a few dollars to send it back if it didn't work. To my surprise it is the best milk I have ever drunk. My wife hated the powdered soy milk so it was hard to use it in any of the recipes called for milk because it had that bitter taste that of some soy milk. To my surprise again she liked the soy milk made by the SoyaJoy so now we cook with it. I also want to thank your customer service department for being so nice. When I ordered the machine the next day, you came out with the Chinese New Years Sale and they gave me back the difference. That let me know that Sanlinx is a very upstanding company and I have told all my friends. These days it is hard to find a company that cares about their customers. Thanks Again, Paul Carr

From: Søren (0x503eec78.bynxx4.adsl-dhcp.tele.dk) I just have to share my enthusiasm ... encouraged by the rave reviews posted here earlier, I was very excited when I placed my order on SoyaJoy's soymilk maker before Christmas, but also a bit nervous - including a $55 postage for Europe, it was quite a lot of money, and I started imagining how difficult and expensive it would become if something happened to be wrong with it. But all my worries have been put to shame - it's arrived in perfect condition (* I must definitely be the very first person in Denmark who owns one *), and the model I got is adjusted for European power source. Today I made my first batch of soy milk, very excited to see the result! It's incredible that in a mere 15 minutes, some 6 cups (1½ liters) are ready and done out of 3 oz / 100 grams of soy beans. It has a more yellow-ish colour than commercial soymilk but this only makes it look "homier". When I think of the work and the mess it was when I used to make soymilk 10 years ago ... better yet I now think of all the money I'll be saving, not having to buy commercial soymilk which costs the equivalent of $2 here, or the same as a pound of organic soy beans!

Dear people at Sanlinx, http://www.soymilkmaker.com/
I have had my Soyajoy soy milk
maker for about a year now. I have to tell you that it is one of the
best items I have purchased ever. I am an eye doctor and concerned
about nutrition. Your machine makes it easy and inexpensive to make soy
milk in minutes. Plus the Laura Soy Beans you recommend from Fairvew
Farms are great for soy milk and very reasonable in cost. http://www.fairviewfarms.com/
I am one of the many Americans
who follow a low carb high protein diet, like Atkins Recommends. It is
very easy to make soy milk and use Stevia as a sweetener. You instantly
have a great low carb drink that can be flavored with, vanilla, cinnamon, and
many other flavors.
I found an excellent source of
Stevia that works very well with your machine. I get it from http://www.herbaladvantage.com/ .
It has almost no after taste. With Vanilla or cinnamon, I can make great
soy milk in minutes. This is the best Stevia I have ever seen. The price
is very reasonable and the quality better than anything I have found anywhere.
They have bred their Stevia to have virtually no bitter aftertaste as some
Stevia does.
I was also skeptical about
needing the cleaning mixture you recommend but that is every bit as excellent
a product as your machine. It makes clean up very easy.

again how much I like it. The okara has turned out to be wonderful!!!!! I mix it with ground-up vegetables, whatever I have around, whole wheat flour, and 2-3 eggs.

It is not perfect, but it is a pretty good meatloaf imitation. I have found a great soy cookbook with many more uses for okara. So, in your filter cleaning directions, tell people to use the okara, not discard it. I like it plain, but no one else in my family does. I also have no trouble cleaning the filter. From: Trapper@

Dear Wendy,
I bought my soymilk machine two years ago and have used it extensively. I've
written to thank you for continuing to market a quality machine and to share
some of my thoughts with prospective customers.
I know people who read the testimonials are being careful and are thinking
their purchase through. That is the responsible thing to do. When I read the
testimonials prior to my purchase, I had this secret fear that I would be
disappointed. But my experience with the machine has been rewarding and
fulfilling. One reason why the machine is so attractive is we know how
much we save over time when we stop buying the store-bought soymilk and make
our own. In my book, there's nothing like PURE soymilk. With the machine, we
can make it just the way we like it--just the right sweetness, just the
right consistency, and just the right taste. I use my machine primarily to
make soymilk that I then use to make tofu. Once one learns the process,
making tofu is easy, especially when you have the machine. We not only save
money, but we have the health benefits of soy and that is priceless.
Although the machine basically runs itself, it still takes commitment to
make the purchase. We still have to soak the beans and treat the machine
right (clean and take care of it). I used to struggle with making soymilk at
home with a blender and tending the pot at the stove but not anymore. Your
machine has made it so effortless to produce soymilk.
Thank you,

I made my first batch of soy products today, a soy shake and okara pancakes. I am very impressed with the flavor and texture. I have always purchased soy milk in the boxes and found that they tend to be watery and filled with other things for sweetening and preservation. This is fresh, substantial and of very good flavor. I was delighted with the pancakes as they are easy to make and are light and fluffy as well as filled with the nutrients a teenage boy needs to get him going on a snowy winter morning. I have always been a consummate homemaker and made our own dairy products from our own organically raised cows, goats and chickens. I am thrilled now to be able to make our own soy products with the aid of this extremely convenient machine. I was afraid it would be complicated to clean from all that was said on you literature and one line but it is at least as easy as a blender or bread maker and FAR less complicated than a cream separator. I guess all things are relative. Thank you again Karen Jensen PS I teach nutrition and natural health classes across the country and would like some literature that I can include in my literature packets for my seminars. Just a single flyer like the one listing the benefits of soy milk that came with my machine - how can obtain these in larger quantities? Thanks Karen

I want to thank you so very much for the
opportunity you provided us to buy the Soyajoy milk maker. It's speed,
efficiency, ease of use, and wonderful final
product are truly a gift to my family. I can finally tell my sons that
they can drink as much as they want because it is affordable. The
"Laura Beans" make the greatest non-beany flavored soymilk and tofu
that I've ever had! Even the leftover okura has made fantastic "soysage"
from The Farm recipe book. Best of all, even someone with a
handicap can successfully use and enjoy your product without undue stress.
Thank you, Thank YOU,
THANK YOU !!!!!!! Sincerely,

Good
morning, Wendy
I
just wanted to let you know I made four batches of soymilk over the weekend and
am THRILLED with my new SoyaJoy soymilk maker.
If I had known how easy it is to make, how easy the unit is to clean, and
how delicious the fresh soymilk tastes, I’d have ordered one long ago.
The first three batches were made with soybeans I’ve had in the
pantry for a long time and were delicious.
I made a batch yesterday with the Laura beans sample that came with the
unit. It is definitely better and
I’m going to order some Laura beans immediately.
Thanks
for your help and for always getting back with me so promptly.
It’s great to know there are still great products out there backed
by great customer service.
Best
regards,
Rick

Hi again Wendy,
I got your last e-mail and have found a couple of lines in an article that
might interest you.
Soy, found in soybeans, tofu, and soy milk, deserves special mention. Soy
products seem to have major benefits for older people and those with type
2 diabetes. Some studies have found that eating 20 to 25 grams a day (about 5
to 6 ounces of firm tofu) helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels and may
also lower the risk for kidney disease and certain cancers.
I hope this info interests you.

Here's an interesting fact ... I was into consuming lots of ice cream, because it gets so hot in summer. As a result of my stupidity, I developed calcium spurs in my shoulders and in my knuckles from calcium that was not being assimilated! Now that I consume at least one quart of homemade double-rich soymilk daily, with my wonderful SoyaJoy machine, my calcium spurs are dissipating, and the natural soymilk calcium is being assimilated! anonymous

Subject: My New Soymilk Maker!
I have had my new soymilk maker for a few days and
I love it. I am like a child with a new toy. It is incomparably easier to make
soymilk with my new machine than it is to make it the old-fashioned way on top
of the stove with pots and strainers and so much time and work. The is no
comparison. I will never go back to making soymilk on top of the stove. And as
for store-bought soymilk, it is pound for pound exorbitantly expensive,
outrageous when one compares the cost of home-made soymilk with store-bought.
(And home-made does not have the unnecessary additives that are often in
store-bought brands. Read the boxes, there is more in there than water and
soybeans!)
I couldn't wait until it cooled to drink it. I
added a teeny bit of blackstrap molasses and drank it warm. In the morning I
made frothy, delicious smoothie drinks with my fresh soymilk and frozen
blackberries.
I experimented with the okara (the left-over
pulp). I will use it in breads, pancakes, in mashed potatoes, in soups,
etc. There are many uses for the okara. Nothing goes to waste. Read up on
okara, you'll never throw it away if you do. It has protein and some vitamins,
and vital fiber.
As a vegan, food preparation and eating is a very
important part of my life, and now my soymilk maker will simplify my
food preparation and increase my joy of eating good healthy foods.

Dear Wendy I got my machine yesterday. I am very pleased with the machine and with the milk--it is delicious. I love the taste of the milk hot out of the machine with nothing added. It is very sweet and mild. The machine is easy to use. I can hardly believe that I can make such delicious milk in 12 minutes with so little mess! This morning I used the okara in soy/oat waffles and they turned out great. For lunch we used the milk for banana smoothies. We are going to be so healthy using soymilk in everything. I can hardly wait to try making soups. The flavor is outstanding. My father is on a low sodium diet for his heart--now he can have milk without added salt.

My first batch was TERRIBLE (Sanlinx suggests not to use the first batch, editor). I had to throw it away. The second batch was better, using regular sugar & salt; the third batch was PERFECT! Instead of sugar, I put 2 tablespoons of brown rice syrup and 1/8 teaspoon of sea salt per batch, and in all honesty, it tastes better than store bought. Yay! ----- Original Message ----- We have had our SoyaJoy soymilk maker for about six months now. It is still as wonderful as when I reported back in May shortly after purchase. We now have come up with a few hints and tips to assist you in making a better tasting soymilk: * Although you can soak your beans overnight and store them after draining in the refrigerator until needed, we have found that the best soymilk is made from beans that have been soaked for about six to nine hours, washed, drained and used immediately after soaking. * We usually make a gallon at a time. We place the gallon in the refrigerator, but also place about a quart in a sealable container with a pour spout. When we are ready to use some soymilk we can shake the smaller vigorously (over the sink) and this improves the texture and taste. The gallon can be stirred and then the quart container refilled from that. It is also handier for the kids to have a smaller container to handle. Without stabilizers and other additives it does tend to settle. * The recipe we use is to make three batches for a full gallon. We only use the Laura beans from Fairview farms. They are a quality bean, make delicious soymilk, and the price is extremely reasonable even including shipping costs. We usually buy thirty pounds at a time for the two of us. At less than $1 a pound delivered it was about the same as the grocery store beans which are not specifically for soy milk. At 70 grams of beans per batch, even with our "double rich batches," that's only about $.83 of beans for a gallon if you purchase 30 pounds at a time! if you like the thinner, weaker milk, its only$.42 a gallon! Compare that to commercial soymilk! [all prices USD]. To one gallon of fresh, warm soymilk out of the machine we add: * 3 Tbs. white sugar (we didn't like the taste of fruit sugar nor rice
syrup) Even with those ingredients added, the cost is well under $.01 per ounce - less than you pay for commercial soy milk. HINT 1: Try a fresh glass, warm right from the machine- it is wonderful in the cold winter months, particularly with a little cocoa mixed in! We are going to be using it to make cappuccinos and lattes as soon as our machine shows up! It does seem to froth up very nicely. HINT 2: Do NOT place the okara in your trash compactor! It will squeeze out everywhere like a giant tube of toothpaste run over by a large truck. Don't ask me how I know. HINT 3: Mix the soymilk with your favorite protein powder and a frozen banana. Mix with a high speed mixer (we use a Braun right in the glass) for a delicious low fat breakfast shake. From Randy....

Sincerely, Lester P.S The Soy milk maker that I've already got from you is really a fine machine. ----- Original Message ----- From: Randy <> I know that there are many letters saying much the same thing as I am about to relate, but I still feel I must contribute. We received a specialty catalog in the mail that featured another Soymilk maker. It was very expensive (as I later discovered, twice what the SoyaJoy costs), but the fact that we could easily make soymilk at home interested us. As my wife is about to retire we thought that making our own soymilk would be a way to save some money. We were paying about $6 a gallon for a commercial soymilk. It was delicious but it was costing us a lot of money- even just for the two of us. I searched the Internet and I found three or four machines. Without going into a lot of detail, the SoyaJoy seemed to be of the best quality and was the least expensive. I read the entire website including the testimonials from other users and I purchased the SoyaJoy machine. I also purchased twenty pounds of Laura beans directly from Fairview farms (http://www.fairviewfarms.com). These beans really do make excellent soymilk, and they only cost about $1 per pound delivered. We have thus far made about ten or twelve batches of soymilk, and I can say that all your claims and everything that the folks say here about the Soyjoy machine is true. It is very easy to use, makes about 50 ounces of Soymilk in about fifteen minutes, is easy to clean up, and is quite economical. Fill with water, dump in the pre-soaked beans, hit the button, and walk away. Minutes later, "Beeep, Beep.." and the soymilk is done. The all stainless steel construction makes clean-up nearly effortless. I have estimated that with a little sugar and a touch of vanilla, it costs about $.01 announce to make. The commercial soymilk costs about $.05 an ounce. That is saving us nearly $5 a gallon over the commercial product. As we use about one and one half gallon seach week, it does not take a math major to see that the payback period for the SoyaJoy machine is quite reasonable for us. Currently we use two tablespoons of sugar, 1/8 tsp. salt, and 1 tsp. of vanilla extract per 50 oz. batch and find it quite delicious. From Randy.... AKA "-ED" at the...."F.R.C.N." From Kim : Customer Comments: I bought a machine from you a few months ago and LOVE IT! It is as easy and delicious as you say. This is a birthday gift for my sister-in-law.

We would like to buy another machine from you and have you ship it to my wife's sister in the State of Oregon. On 2/29/00 you told me that you are now selling the SoyaJoy Soymilk Maker which is an improvement over the Jiuyang Model which we bought last year.

Although as I told you some time ago, we have never had to use the manual settings. But is it is a nice feature to have in case someone would want to use it. This is an email we received March 1. We have many customers coming back to buy machines as gifts for their family, friends, and relatives. ----- Original Message ----- Greetings, I just bought one of your wonderful soymilk makers.

What an improvement over a previous brand which never worked the same way twice, and cost almost $250. We have never needed to use the manual mode since it always does a super job on the automatic setting. It takes about 35 minutes from the time we push the start button until the machine is washed and put away. We previously made soymilk by using the blender and cooking it on the stove. I always had about eight pots and pans to wash and that was quite a task, to say the least. We're100% satisfied, and we appreciate your honest representation of the product. It is also a pleasure do business with you folks. Regards, Paul Note: Paul sent us an email praising our machine when he purchased it about seven months ago. He is so happy with the machine that he voluntarily sent us another email after seven months of use. Most of us do not take the time to write messages like this after we have bought something that works well.

Remember, it kept boiling over onto my counter? I had to order more Laura Soy Beans in order to try it again. Well, now I have 10 pounds of the soy beans!!! You told me to fill the cup. The directions must be changed in the booklet that comes with the unit. It states under Making Soymilk from Soaked Soybean. "1. Measure 70 grams of clean dry soybean with the included measuring cup. (A full cup is 100 grams)." This is very misleading to someone like me who follows the directions! Apparently the size of the cup got changed but the directions didn't get changed. I added a few drops of vanilla and the milk is very delicious!!!! We liked it without the vanilla too!! Also, I chose not to add any sweetener because it is so delicious without any! Sometimes I do like to add a little molasses however. Thanks again for your help in solving the mystery! We just love our SoyaJoy Soy Milk Maker!! It is so quick, delicious, and inexpensive!!!! Thanks again. Remember to add the label that states your new address and phone number for the warranty since that is old information as well. Take care. Jackie. Note: We have since updated the user's manual to reflect the change in the measuring cup.

I always had about eight pots and pans to wash and that was quite a task, to say the least. So far, we're 100% satisfied. We appreciate your honest representation of the product. Regards, Paul Note: before Paul bought our machine, he had purchased another soy milk maker - a well-known brand that costs about twice as much. He was very disappointed with its poor performance. In fact, he was so dissatisfied with the machine that he went back to his previous way of making soy milk with a blender, stove, cheese cloth, and eight pots and pans until he bought the SoyaJoy. We are so thrilled to hear that he is 100% satisfied with our Soy Milk Maker! --- Sanlinx Inc. From: I'm attaching the recipe for the okara bread for you. Let me know if you like it. Other options could easily be done with it and I'm going to continue work on okara recipes. This one will be a standard for us. I'm sending you a check today for three more unit. My niece was here from Wisconsin and she wants one and will introduce it to her co-op and friends. Also, I want the spare unit for me and I want one for my son also. Thanks, Dick From: Paul Falk Dear Wendy, We received the soy milk maker today. So far, it is truly a marvelous machine. I have a question for you; can we prepare soy milk with less water so it comes out a little stronger? Do you have any suggestions or comments on this. We would appreciate any feedback you may have to offer regarding this. Again, we thank you for a great product and a prompt reply. Sincerely, Note: Thanks to SoyaJoy's unique features - customized programming and an external feeding window - the user can adjust the thickness the soymilk. This cannot be done with other brands that do not offer these features. --- Sanlinx Inc. From: Paul Falk Dear Wendy, After only one day, I can say that the soy milk maker has been the greatest addition to our house since sliced bread. This machine is truly a time saver and very convenient, especially, if you like fresh soy milk. We appreciated receiving your quick response regarding other ways of making soymilk stronger, if preferred. Please feel free to post these comments on your website. Again, thanks for providing a great product with speedy delivery. Tue, 18 May 1999 07:07:42 -0400 Dear wendy, Thanks for the info on dairy. We received our Soy Maker and ran it thru a trial last night with the Laura bean. It was a no-brainer to make and the milk tasted great. John Jones Date: Mon, 17 May 1999 07:00:57 -0700 We received our new SoyaJoy Soy milk machine late last week and are extremely pleased with the first batch. We were amazed at how quickly the machine processed the presoaked soybeans; it took only 10 minutes using preheated water. Additionally, the machine is a snap to clean. We were able to take care of that in just a few minutes. We used to pay $1.50 a quart for the prepared soy milk, but now we can process a quart for about eight cents! Great savings! Finally, the construction of the machine is first class. We like the stainless steel container as well as the other components. We have bragged about the machine to ours relative and friends and we hope others take our lead a buy one from you. Sincerely, Joan and Ray Bouchard Subject: Re: soy milk maker I was very surprised on Monday, when the mail truck pulled up outside and delivered the machine to me. Great! I've already made two batches of soymilk -- one with your Laura Bean soybeans, and one batch with some organic beans I bought at Whole Food Market. I was surprised how much difference there was in taste of the finished product. You're gonna have to send me information about those beans! Last night, my son and I took the two batches, mixed them together, and made our first batch of tofu. It turned out great -- though I'm only judging from "looks" so far. We'll be eating it with dinner tonight. There are a couple differences between this soymilk and the soymilk I have been buying. One is that it's not as thick, which is great, I thought the SoyDream was a bit too thick. But it also isn't sweet, because it doesn't have sweetener added. I'm going to have to play with this, if I want my boys to drink it. Thanks for the quick delivery! Kevin Key Subject: Re: soy milk maker Just one last thing and I'll leave y'all alone for awhile. I wanted you to know you may have a rush of orders coming. The day I found your site, I started talking about it online with 1000 of my closest friends -- on an email list about learning to eat healthily. I gave a follow up report yesterday, and people are asking about where I got the machine, so today I posted again with your website address. You may notice more 'hits' in the next few days, and I hope more business as well. When I am happy, I like to share with everyone! Keep up the good work. By the way, you are the only one who has EVER sold me a product and then contacted me later to make sure it arrived and is working correctly. As a consumer, I appreciate that more than you can know. Keep doing this with your customers! It makes us feel like family (and of course we are loyal to our family!). Kevin Key Subject: Re: [Fwd: [Fwd: soy milk maker]] We've got it. So far okay.
