What is not to love about this machine? Let's see... (not a paid review) COMPARISON: I seriously checked ALL of the possibilities under the sun when looking for the best milk maker. This one won me over the price, reviews, functionality, design, and how easy it is to clean. PRICE: Compared to the latest most expensive machine which is about $450-$500, this seemed too good to be truth. However, after using it already for weeks I know I couldn't have picked better. Not to mention that the most expensive one can't even make soy milk!!! Or any milk which requires heat!!!! Ridiculous. DESIGN: Incredible. The outside is plastic but the milk goes in a stainless steel jug and it's perfect. The blades are unbelievably well designed. At first I said this may not do a good job crushing stuff because it is not a high powered blender. I was wrong. Everything becomes a pulp which is easy to drain, unlike the Vitamix which leaves a residue impossible to remove. How do I know? I tried. The pulp that came from the vitamix clogged my mesh. FUNCTIONALITY: so many possibilities: juice, shake, legume, oat, nut, and rice milks, paste, it also boils water and makes hot chocolate! It has a good capacity, perfect for my needs. I have tried several of their recipes already, and absolutely delicious and fresh. I know exactly what goes in my milk, and in just a few minutes. EASE OF USE: put the solids and the liquids, close the lid, turn it on, wait a few minutes... it doesn't get easier than that OVERALL COST: this machine already paid for itself. A carton of 64 oz of organic soy milk, which doesn't have filtered water, is $5-$7. With this machine I make the same amount for 25 cents!!!! CLEANLINESS: they thought of this too, and included a super handy brush and sponge. It is too easy to clean. See my tips. I mean, this is ridiculous. TIPS: Just make sure to leave nuts, legumes, dates, soaking overnight to help the machine to break things down easier and reduce noise. If the noise bothers you, turn it on and leave it doing its thing, while you go do something else. Come on people, this is a blender, what do you expect? Make sure you put only 60 gr of whatever solids you're using. To fail to do this can damage the machine. Milks, no matter which kind, tend to overflow. So you must do as instructed to avoid damage or injuries. As soon as the machine ends the cycle, empty and clean it immediately with water and the brush. It will be harder to clean after things dry out. Then rinse again with the sponge. Make sure you do not submerge under water. Rinse one more time with water, and you're done! Time will tell about the durability, but I feel that if I continue to take care of it like I said, it is going to last for a long time. Read more
This is such a handy household appliance that I didn’t even know I needed! Being lactose intolerant, I really only drink almond or oat milk and this makes it so easy to have fresh milk whenever I want. You definitely want to play around with how sweet or flavored you want to make your milk, and I believe each batch makes about three cups. There are even options for juice, milkshakes, or boiling water. I love that there is a recipe book and gives different options for various drinks. My dad loves hot chocolate so I recently made him a healthy version that was in the recipe book with cacao powder, dates, and the fresh almond milk that was already made in there! He loved how rich and creamy it was. I also tried the “rice paste” option to make congee/juk, which is like a savory porridge. It came out super smooth and was so convenient rather than me having to stand over a pot stirring. What’s even better is the clean option - it self cleans, and while you may have to give an extra rinse on the bottom as there can be some residue, it cuts down on about 80% of the cleaning. The only con is it can be a little loud. If the idea of having fresh milk in minutes is appealing, this is the appliance for you! Read more
I wasn't expecting much, but WOW do I love this thing. It's fast - oat milk in 2 minutes, almond milk in 8. It comes with the straining sleeve, which fits perfectly into my pitchers. And a self clean function?!? Okay, yes please. Also, it tastes great. There is a robust recipe book, and the functionality of it is very simple. 1. Add the ingredients (it's 60g of oats or 60g of almonds, etc) 2. fill it up to the pre-marked min/max line 3. choose the setting (juice, soymilk, nutmilk, oatmilk, milk shake, rice paste), and press start. Strain it if you want. Run a clean cycle, rinse and wipe down, done. It took me 10 minutes top to bottom to make 2 batches of strained oat milk (half gallon), from getting it out to cleaning it and putting it away. I will say it's a bit loud when making almonds, because almonds are so crunchy. But the noise level didn't seem unreasonable for oats, it was nearly silent for cleaning cycle. And it doesn't take up a lot of space, I stuck it on top of the fridge. This is going to save me lots of money with 3 teens in the house! Read more
This thing is really loud. It stop and start blending every few seconds for the entire duration of the cook. I tried making Soy milk and the process was stressful. It also smell like the motor is burning. I'm not sure if the motor is under power or not but it sounds like it's struggling sometimes when it go on and off. Pretty disappointed and probably won't use without constant monitoring and ear plugs. ---- Update: Just tried it again after a few week of rest and noticed the bottom looks burnt. I've been running it on a glass table top in my garage, which is around 50F (pretty cold). It looks like the motor is spitting out black fume. Possible fire hazard so keep an eye on yours if you ordered. Read more

I bought the 8-in-1 IAGREEA Nut Milk Maker Machine as Christmas gifts, and they were a great choice. Everyone who received one loves using it. The machine is solid, well-built, and has real power. It blends smoothly and evenly without struggling, even with nuts and thicker ingredients. The functionality is what really stands out. The different preset options make it easy to switch between nut milk, soy milk, soups, and other uses without guesswork. Everything is clearly labeled, simple to operate, and consistent in results. It’s versatile without being complicated, which makes it practical for everyday use. Setup was simple, the instructions were clear, and cleanup is easy, which matters when you’re using it regularly. Shipping was fast and everything arrived well-packaged, especially important during the holidays. Customer service was responsive and helpful when I had a question, which tells me the company stands behind their product. Read more
