Bought this in hopes to easily make super basic rice milk, almond milk, and maybe dabble into oat milk. Didn't get anywhere and wasted time and rice.I am not an idiot. And I love experimenting, researching, and making new foods. I have been wanting to make almond, rice, and oat milk, and saw you can do it in a blender -- but also saw a possibly easier and more deliberate approach in a machine dedicated to the task... NOPE.You will see people mentioning that there isn't any good instructions... Yeah, I know what they meant now. There is virtually NO instructions on how to, say, even make simple rice milk with this machine...! So I was left to online research - I prefer that anyways. But wait - NOPE. There is NO help from the internet on this product. Not on youtube, not in a blog. You are on your own.So I did as "instructed" and used a basic rice milk recipe and pressed the grain button. 3/4 cup rice, 4 cups water was my ratio, adding a little more water to get to between the two lines inside the machine. What I got was a hot mess. I attempted pouring the hot solution through the included screen - that let about 1 tablespoon of liquid through before plugging. So I poured the rest into the included milk bag. I hung it in a 1 gallon jar and let it sit to drain. I got 1/4 cup of a very thick liquid after 2 hours of draining.So, I thought I'd be cool like other milk bag users online and wash my hands, and just squeeze the milk into a bowl. NOPE. I squeezed and through the fine mesh bag out came the most disgustingly textured slime I have ever seen. Absolutely no usable rice milk.Unfortunately the product's support is non-existent, as is the case anywhere online as far as exact instructions on how to make ANYTHING, with the exception of one recipe for soy milk something that is very thorough in the manual. This leads me to believe that this unit, sold as a "Nut Grain Rice milk extractor" is primarily made for soy milk, and anyone using it for anything else already knows exactly how to make what they're making. Maybe using instructions from competitor's products? I didn't want to even go there as this has it's own electronics and buttons that are specifically programmed and different from other brands.Sent this back regrettably, I wanted to succeed; this product is well made and seems absolutely perfect. But in the end, I was sold a Nut Rice Grain Milk Extractor machine that simply cannot produce milk as sold, unless used by what must be a licensed instructor.

It's a blender with heat. I wanted to use it one night, but, after I took a look at the Instruction Manual that came with it -- which is in "Chinglish" -- I realized it was going to take a lot more study to get it into operation, so I had to postpone the use till the next day. One of the other reviews, which I had not read at the time, indicates there may be a revised Manual online, but that link did not work when I tried it yesterday. Companies like this should spend the very small amount it takes to hire a professional proofreader and editor. A product like this one should also have been test-marketed with an American consumer sample audience, so that they would know what the natural questions are.Since the Manual I received has no recipes in it, I guessed and used 2 cups of oatmeal, using the plastic cup that comes with it. This was a mistake. I ended up with thick sludge and some hot oatmeal. To recover from that, I spooned most of it out and made oatmeal cookies out of it, instead. Adding another full chamber of water to the remainder, it did make an acceptable milk, but even that was not impressive or significantly different or better than what I have made many times in an ordinary blender.PRO'sIt is a blender with heat. This might be useful for trying some different recipes for tofu/bean curd.The little cup with the filter element (screen) is useful, but it should be made of metal, not plastic, so that it can be used with all hot liquids. A nice touch would have been to match it with a high quality metal funnel, too.CON'sThe instructions are practically unusable. There were no recipes (or quantities) listed in the copy I received at all. I wanted to see some very basic suggestions for basic milks, especially showing the quantities of material to use.Cleaning is a hassle. Neither of the 2 major parts can be submersed in water.The water level indicator -- etched into the lower half of the barrel chamber -- is hard to see in low-light in the kitchen. You'll have to memorize where it is and fill the chamber with water under a bright light (at an angle).The accessories are all plastic, though it may be presumed that at least some of them will be used with hot liquids?The measuring cup does not have any measurements on it. (Notice in the video, above, that they are using a GLASS measuring cup to add the water!) The pulp container, on the other hand, does have liter markings on it.The little plastic piece called the "blender" -- it looks like a combination between a baby's pacifier and a plunger -- is not mentioned at all of the Instructions and I have no idea what it is for.The "tofu box" is like a little mini-version of a cheese press, but it is all plastic.The function keys are not all lit when you plug in the unit, so you'd better know the label for each of them before you start. The keys are very fickle and often unresponsive. They are not raised and are not really "buttons."The motor makes, at times, a horrendous grinding noise, like the sound of gears stripping. It is loud in general."After completion of production, please pull out the power and wait for 30 seconds." It seems strange that a modern kitchen appliance would require pulling out the power cord with each use in normal operation. I don't do that with my counter-top blender, for example.This is an exciting idea, but poorly executed.
