Only yogurt maker we've ever had so nothing really to compare it to but it works great, it's easy to use, it shuts off automatically, and has nifty little jars that you can turn to display the date your yogurt was made.

Griddle has actual temperature settings as opposed to "High, Medium, and Low" which is nice, but the really awesome thing about this griddle is the detachable handles which makes storage a snap.

Pack of 6 stretch lids, great for just about any size bowl you got. They stretch easily, seal tight, and are very durable. Safe for the freezer, microwave, and dishwasher too.

Wooden means no scraping your pans or enamel on your dutch oven. Not as thin as metal or plastic spatulas, but a must buy nonetheless.

Can be used to toast, bake, and broil. The tray doesn't come out when you open the door so you have to use a utensil to pull it out. Not the best toaster oven but serves it's purpose at a decent price.

Works great, doesn't lose it's bristles, holds in liquids very well, easy to clean. Gets stained, but what basting brush doesn't. A great buy.
