Nutritionist SY5A Soy Milk Maker

I had this for less than a year. I tried making soy milk maybe 5 times. first two times, it worked!then it has problems. every time I plugged in, and did exactly as required in the instruction book. Actually I don;t even need to look at the instruction. When I lived in Beijing, I had one and made soymilk almost every week.Ok, anyways, I won;t have any problems using this thing properly.but it did not work for the last three times I tried . right after I started it, it would give beeping sounds after a short period of grinding.I will send this to services and see what happens. so far, I think it deserves a one star. hopefully customer services will change my mind.

The Nutritionist SY5 Soy milk maker, works fine, except; I don't like the plastic basket inside the maker. There is a soy milk maker, with stainless still basket & the mash. It makes okara (left over from the milk)very fine like a paste.I use that in every meal that I prepare.Most of all,try couple spoons in the pancake batter--delicious !! You can order on web [...] or call1-888-228-3082. Price $125.00 mention "code 101" to get $5.00 off. Shipment $12.00 Good luck.

My husband and I received a Nutritionist Soy Milk Maker for Christmas last year. To us, the idea of making our own soy milk was so cool that we bought 4 more units from an online-retailer and gave them as belated Christmas gifts for our friends.Our unit came with a factory defect in the locking mechanism which made the machine harder to use (though functionable). We contacted Salton about this problem. To this date we have not yet heard from them.This morning, the grinder in our unit stopped working. We believe the motor burned out from our twice-a-week usage. Once again, we contacted Salton about this problem. Hopefully, they respond this time. We will let you know if they take care of this problem.Making your own Soy Milk is fabulous. Perhaps, it is about time to check out other manufacturers if Salton does not take care of their products.

I've only got it for two days and I like it. Everything works as expected. Just followed the instructions and have made three pots of good soy milk. In one of the three tries, I forgot to add water in it. It did survive from my terrible mistake. If it could make more soy milk at a time, it would be perfect for me.

it good one I got, making soy milk so easy.& easy to clean it. Thankyou. Geat one stuff I pick.

This thing just plain doesn't work. I'd like to see the results of those people who claim it made milk successfully; I bet the stuff that came out doesn't even closely resemble soy milk.1) I soaked the beans as instructed and started the machine. It incessantly beeped at me with its "something is wrong" message. I kept fiddling with it and started it over until it finally completed one cycle. That was the first problem.2) There is no heating element! Your soy milk is heated by something exactly like the hot plate that keeps your coffee warm in your coffee maker. It just isn't capable of heating the soy milk to proper temperatures.3) Don't be fooled by the stainless steel appearance in the picture. Don't expect high-quality. It is a flimsy thin steel that I'm sure would dent if you were a little too rough with it.This is a horrible product that was surely ill-conceived from the start.

I have this soy milk maker that often malfunctions for no reason. It starts off fine and then the grinding suddenly stops after a few minutes and the machine signals the end by beeping. I contacted Salton and they sent me a new one, but it has the same problem. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

For those of you who have written about it boiling over - here is what you need to do. It bubbles over when it is too thin, so use more beans -NOT LESS - and soak them 8-10 hours -NOT LESS. I think you will find a better taste and a nice full batch! Good luck
