Definitely takes the hassle out of sourdough starter timings

I use a thermometer (I've changed a few) to check the temperature and the is always 2-3 degrees difference, so not fully reliable (on the thermometer the temp is lower than on the sourdough home). It's also a bit bulky and considering all that I found it quite expensive.

Used it for a few days and it did absolutely nothing to maintain my starter. Took forever to get it to double at just a 1:2:2 ratio. The temperature of the starter is at least 3 - 4° less than the indicated one and this when you use warm water as directed. Very disappointed

Rip off. Do not waste your money you can buy these mini refrigerators/warmers for £30 on Amazon. I could not believe how cheap and flimsy it is. It does not even include the jar for the sourdough and there is no recipe at all. Most of the instruction book is in other languages. I have returned it immediately.

Vivo en el norte de México, donde la temperatura media es muy por arriba de la ideal para cultivar masa madre. El refrigerador esta bien pero no ideal para el crecimiento óptimo de la masa. Lastimosamente mi cultivo principal no sobrevivió el calor, pero guardé descarte con el cuál pude revivir mi cultivo. Es una chulada, tal cuál una incubadora, para mi caso donde vivo en climas extremos, esta es la mejor opción para tener un cultivo saludable.

I absolutely love this little home. It is lightweight, holds the jar perfectly. Temperature control is perfect!! I'm using it at the moment. It is so quiet, I've had to check it to see if it's working. I actually have a rise in my starter and this is try 9. Lol. Highly recommend for a beginner or someone who lives in a cooler country as I do. It shuts off when warm enough. Love that to. We'll a little update! My starter actually has bubbles and is well on its way, thanks to this little Home!!

This is an excellent appliance. I made sourdough starter for the first time in my life and it worked first time perfectly. Set to 23C I was able to get a nice reactive sourdough starter in 5 days and was making pizza and naan bread with the discard after this time. After 7 days feeding and fermenting the starter, I made my first sourdough bread (using a Brod and Taylor folding proofing oven to proof the dough) and it was perfect and delicious. I use milled whole grain spelt for the starter and for the bread. After baking I put my left over starter in the fridge (top shelf at 4 degrees C) and revive it (feed/ferment) weekly for 24 hours with the "sourdough house" before baking bread. This really is how bread should be, it's just flour, water and some salt and tastes better than the commercial bread you buy in the supermarket. My stomach can't really tolerate the commercial breads but this home-made pure sourdough bread is no problem for me to eat.

I have only had this for about 2 days, but already impressed! Well built and sturdy, compact but roomy enough for my needs, lovely simple design that blends into our kitchen nicely while still looking modern and attractive. Set up was easy (plug and play basically). Interior can fit my 32 oz wide mouth Ball jar easily with a bit of room to spare around it. I love that it comes with a chart that tells you exactly what temp to use depending on the interval you want to feed your starter (ie one week vs one day vs every 12 hours). I typically bake on Sun/Mon/Tues, so I can drop the temp during the week and just feed once and be sure my starter will remain healthy and happy :) I was planning to bake the next day, so I set it to 70F and fed my starter the evening before, and I'll be damned but my starter came out looking healthier than it has ever looked before! It's wild! I am sold on this thing solely for that. It really works well to keep your starter at it's healthiest! If I had to say one negative thing about this unit, it would be that there is a seam between the front and back half that runs on the bottom of the interior, and I could foresee that being a pain to clean if your starter ever overflowed. But if you are careful and don't overfeed it, you shouldn't have to worry about that too much! Honestly, for how well this thing works, the quality of build, and the lovely design....I'm really surprised at the price-point. It is far more economical than I realized. Don't hesitate! UPDATE: It's been over a month now and I stand by everything I said. This gadget is amazing, especially going into winter when it's difficult for me to control temp in my home.

Für echte Brotbäcker - UNVERZICHTBAR! Egal, ob Weizen- / Roggensauerteig, Hefewasser oder Livito Madre - alles gelingt. Eigentlich, wäre es nach den 3-4 Ansätzen auch erledigt da diese immer weiter verwendet werden können - wäre ich nicht beruflich oft gezwungen, mein Anstellgut ab und an neu züchten zu müssen. Dafür, hat sich die Investition gelohnt - ob das bei jedem so ist, muss jeder für sich selbst entscheiden. Wenn ich ansetzen muss - dann muss das auch wirklich funktionieren. Der Aufwand lohnt sich geschmacklich auf jeden Fall. Die Temperatureinstellung ist einfach - und als deutsch-amerikanischer Haushalt, ist der Wechsel zu Fahrenheit für mich sehr hilfreich. Die Größe ist für einen Privathaushalt mehr als ausreichend - und die Reinigung einfach. Allerdings lagere ich meine Ansätze nach erfolgter Reifung im normalen Kühlschrank und füttere diese dort weiter - bis auf Grund zu langer Abwesenheit und dem damit verbundenen Massensterben, eine neue Bevölkerung herangezogen werden muss. Der Preis, ist für mich ok - wäre ich allerdings normale Hausfrau - und würde nach 3-4 erfolgten Ansätzen die Möglichen haben, diese fortlaufend im Kühlschrank zu pflegen - und es mir auch egal wäre, wenn ich mal einen doppelt machen müsste, hätte ich wohl andere Alternativen gewählt.
