Introduction to the Reviews
Sanlinx Inc. is the pioneer of Automatic Soy Milk Makers
in North America. Since its introductionof the SoyaJoy in 1998, Sanlinx has
been the leader with follow-up introductions of SoyaPower, and SoyPower
Plus. Each new product retains the advantages of previous one but add
features and improvements based on extensive customer feedbacks and
internal testing.
Sanlinx Introduced the SoyaJoy back 1998. It was not until 2002, reverse-engineered
products started to appear, but by then we have brought new improvements
to the SoyaJoy - the SoyaJoy Model SJ-5. In 2003, we further improved
the SoyaJoy SJ-5 and gained UL listing. In the years after that, we
continue to lead the market with the introduction of SoyaPower, and most
recently introduced the SoyaPower plus and the SoyaJoy G3.
The
SoyaJoy received many reviews from all well-known or well-respected
professionals. It was consistently rated best in comparison tests. By
the time Sanlinx introduced the SoyaPower, there were many more brands
on the market, but SoyaPower was again rated the best. SoyaJoy and
SayaPower brands are only brands specifically made for the American
market, owned by American company, with the prduct quality and customer
service to met and exceed customers expections. This is proven again
and again by customers as well as proffessional reviews. The
SoyaPower Plus Soy Milk Maker is the most reviewed soy milk makers and the
only one with an average of 5-Star as of July 3, 2011. It is also in
the Top-10 list of best small kitchen appliances.
It is actually the 6th in the Top-10 list, together with KitchenAid
KSM150PSMC Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, and Zojirushi NS-LAC05
Micom 3-Cup Rice Cooker. Not a single other soy milk maker is even in the Top-100 list! Timesavingreview.com rated the SoyaPower Plus the best soy milk maker in 2011 My wife and I recently invited our friends to
our house and had a wonderful potluck. It was a fun night! One of our Chinese
friends brought a very wonderful multi-grain soy milk (I know it is weird to
bring a soymilk for a potluck, but that just happened). It was made of
multigrains and soys, such as green beans, red beans, brown brown rice, yam, and
so on. It was so tasty and better than any soymilk or almond milk that you can
get in the grocery store. We were wondering how to make it. Our friend, Winnie,
told us that it was pretty simple. Just choose types of nuts and grains you want
to use, wash them and put them in the machine and press the power, then wait for
20 minutes, and you are all set! YOU DON’T
HAVE TO SOAK YOUR NUTS ALL NIGHT! That is the best part of it!
We were very impressed by the tasty drink and the simplicity of soy milk
machine, I decided to do more research about it."
After talking to our friend Winnie and doing my
own research, I think these are things I (and you) should consider before you
purchase a soy milk maker.
- Grinding system
- Filteration
- Maintainability (easy to clean)
- Insulation
- Warranty
- Safety
- Versatility
Based on these principles, I think Soyapower Plus milk maker is the best on
market in 2011. |

Are Soy-Milk Makers Worth Buying?
I'll answer the last question first. YES! By making your own soymilk you
save money, control your intake (you control the ingredients), and you also cut
down on the inherent costs to the planet in packaging and transportation costs.
But the soymilk you make at home is not the same as the soymilk you purchase in
the store. First, there is no binder in your homemade milks, so they do tend to
separate out. All you have to do is stir the product up before using it, but
this does tend to freak out some people. Secondly, with all the soymilk makers
we've experienced, you have to strain the soy milk again, otherwise you'll wind
up with a slightly gritty milk. Thirdly, homemade soy milk has a very different
taste than the soymilk you buy in the store. If you do nothing to the milk
(i.e. add vanilla and sweetener) it will have a "beany" taste. Finally, the
milk you at home is not fortified, so if you're counting on getting a healthy
dose of calcium or vitamin D from your milk, think again. Try some turnip
greens or bok choy, or white beans instead. So, in summary, Jane and I would recommend the Soyapower Plus soy milk maker, rice milk maker, nut
milk maker . If you would like to see all of the popular models available,
you can check out the current best selling, just click here .
Alternative milks cost much more that conventional cows milk. If you are
committed to making the transition to non-dairy milk, or have already done so,
you may want to consider investing in a soy milk maker. A good soy milk maker
can save you a lot of money over the course of a year.

The new
SoyaPower Plus not only kept all the great features of the SoyaPower,
but also improved upon it! ...
Just what is
the “Plus” in the SoyaPower Plus? It is the advanced filter-less
design that not only offers the easiest soymilk making operation
available, but completely changes the options for making homemade
non-dairy milks and broths.
The “Plus” is
the patented Tornado Grinding System ™ which transforms the SoyaPower
Plus into a powerhouse machine, with no filter to clean.

After tested the SoyaPower Soy Milk Maker, Jeff personally wrote to
us:
You've taken a great soymilk maker
and made it even better! It's so easy to use and clean up, and
the soymilk it produces is a big hit with the whole family.
Thanks for continuing to be a leader in spreading soy to the world!
Feel free to use that as an endorsement on your site, should you
wish to.
All best,
Jeff
SoyaJoy before had earned the following
editorial from VegSource.com
"SoyaJoy gets VegSource's highest rating!
Jeff and Sabrina have been having a ball with their SoyaJoy Soymilk
Maker, coming up with a variety of different flavors and
consistencies. You can't go wrong with a SoyaJoy -- we love it!
Don't be fooled by imitations and Johnny-come-lately ripoffs --
SoyaJoy is the original, the granddaddy that started it all! The
quality of construction, the safety and the power of the machine are
the best out there. It's made of the finest materials available -- a
surgical stainless steel cooking pot with smooth edges all around --
and it's built for safety and ease of use. It's not only the best,
it also happens to be the most reasonably priced! Compared to
SoyaJoy, other soymilk makers look like toys! ... "
IntSoy has selected the SoyaJoy
Soy Milk Maker as the best of all soy milk machines tested.
| Dr. Karl E.
Weingartner, Senior Food Scientist &Director of IntSoy. Dr.
Karl in the renowned authority in studies of Soy and its
utilizations. He rarely recommend products. |

We are most pleased to announce that IntSoy
(International Soybean Program) at the University of Illinois has
conducted vigorous testing of the SoyaJoy Soymilk Maker. Here is Dr.
Weingartner's
original statement:
IntSoy recently tested three
different brands of soy milk makers. Based on the results of these
tests the machine we recommend is the SoyaJoy Soymilk Maker from
Sanlinx Inc.. The machine was tested using both hot water and cold
water for making soy milk from soaked soybean according to the
supplied user manual. It takes us about 15 minutes to make soy milk
from cold tap water, and 12 minutes with hot water. We noted
that the taste of the milk is better when the hot water is used. The
instructions are easy to follow. The machine is very suitable for
home use and is among the best we have tested. The stainless-steel
container is also a plus. You can find more information by visiting
their website at
http://www.soymilkmaker.com/ , via fax at 530-660-7115.
INTSOY is an independent, non-profit research
organization widely recognized for its authority and expertise in
soybean utilization research. It has facilities to test and evaluate
home use soymilk makers, as well as large-scale commercial soy
products equipment.
Well-known chef and cookbook author Ellen
highly recommended the SoyaJoy
as the best soy milk maker.

This is the second
time that Ellen has recommended the SoyaJoy. "This machine
is still the best value for the money and recommended by me
and Intsoy." Here is the
link to her recommendation.

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.
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.

SOYAJOY
As always, before I purchase a product I did a ton of research
and reading about soymilk makers.
Our primary concern was stainless steel touching the milk only,
easy cleaning, and fast convenient usage. Of course, taste had
to be a big part too.
What I kept coming back to was the SOYAJOY SOYMILK MAKER by
SANLINX. The reviews I read about it were glowing and positive
and very numerous. The price was also right- $99 at Christmas
time.
So after debating, emailing the company and discussing, I sent
for the unit. Wow, were we shocked.
Pros: easy, fast, saves lots of money, small footprint
Cons: takes a while to get used to fresh flavor
The Bottom Line
In all of the years I spent laboring over soy milk, it is truly
awesome that this the SOYAJOY does the job in 1/20 of the
time-truly a miracle!!!!!
MY COMMENTS
This is my most important kitchen helper. I guard it with my
life. No one is allowed to touch it. I LOVE this thing.
TASTE?
The milk that comes out of it is fresh- very clean tasting and
you can make it any way you want it to be. We just drink it
straight now with a little honey added if we remember while it
is hot. The milk will keep from 1-2 weeks in sealed glass
depending on the weather and the batch.
Do you like a certain store bought soymilk? Keep a box with
ingredients and try to copy it. Quite frankly, once you get used
to the fresh taste of the soymilk made with this machine, you
will never go back to that other stuff again.
We occasionally will open a box of milk left from a while ago in
emergencies, and we can all taste the other stuff in it
(including the aluminum) and it is really gross. We used to LOVE
that stuff!
HAVE I SAVED MONEY?
Have I saved MONEY? HAVE I SAVED MONEY? BOY, HAVE I SAVED MONEY!
I have to tell you, folks, this soy milk maker has saved us a
LOT of money. At about $20 a week for soymilk, we can probably
get a full gallon of soymilk for about, let's say $.50 worth of
beans.
So, take $19.50 and multiply that out to be approx. 32 weeks,
and we have saved approx. $624 in the 8 months that we have been
using this machine.
DO I ACTUALLY LIKE IT?
All of the family drinks it, and all of us like it, including
me. I do not have the problems with drinking it that I used to
have with our other method of making the milk. We are using the
exact same bag of beans.
Everyone has their own way of fixing this milk. My son loves to
make Indian Lassis with it (rosewater milkshake in essence). My
daughter loves to mix it with anything at all because she loves
to mix things. My husband loves to make carob shakes from it and
just blending it gets a beautiful foam on top just like those
foamy drinks people pay a ton for. I like it with just a little
honey and vanilla if it is just to drink.

Another Rave review from Epinions.com
Once again, we only ran across and read this review almost
one year after it had been posted. Before I order something
online, I always check out reviews on Epinions.com. Over the
years, I have found that Epinions.com publishes the most
detailed, useful, and trustworthy reviews.
Vickilynn Haycraft rated SoyaJoy The Best in a
head-to-head test in 2001. After three years, she proudly recommends
the SoyaJoy SJ-5 in her latest review of all major soy milk makers
on the market.

"I greatly prefer the SoyaJoy,"
wrote Vickilynn in her 2001 review. "I finally have been able
to make a good-tasting milk alternative that my family enjoys
without complaint. Making these beverages at home has saved us about
$500.00 per year. The automatic soymilk maker paid for itself in
about 3 months, and the best news is that the process of making
non-dairy milk using a machine is easy, quick and completely
automatic (thus saving my precious time for more important tasks!)."
Read her entire review here.
Vickilynn reviewed the SoyaJoy SJ-5
again in November 2004, three years after her first review, and
confirmed that the SoyaJoy is still the best: "I now recommend the
SoyaJoy SJ-5 as an excellent, well-made machine that consistently
delivers high-quality non-dairy beverages from home."

review here.
Some readers have asked us what the difference is
between SoyaJoy and SoyQuick. SoyQuick is the private brand name of
a Canadian distributor of the same machine; it is not an authorized
US distributor. Whereas the SoyaJoy uses a non-removable safety
warning label, the safety warning is printed on the SoyQuick machine
head - that is all the difference! If you order SoyQuick online, it may be shipped to you from
Canada.
