PRODUCT REVIEW
by Vickilynn Haycraft

- Canister (inner and outer): Stainless steel with side handle
- Filter basket: Stainless steel
- Machine head outer: Plastic with electronic controls, feeding window and top handle
- Machine head components in contact with the liquid: Stainless steel
- Yield: 6 cups liquid

Advantages:
- Materials that come in contact with the beverages are quality stainless steel
- Machine can use either soaked or unsoaked soybeans.
- 4 grinding blades. (Most soymilk makers have only 2 blades, except for the SoyaPower, which also has 4)
- Heating element is in the bottom portion of the stainless container. Other soymilk makers have a heating element in the machine head.
- Filter basket mesh is finely woven and they effectively filter the fibers from the liquid, eliminating the need for additional straining, unless desired
- Steel canister has pouring spout and has a rolled top, making pouring less messy
- The steel canister’s one-piece construction prevents the soymilk from dripping in between the layer of plastic and steel
- Feeding window is an option for adding beans/grains

- Toll-free ordering and Customer Service
Q’Tessence QT400 Disadvantages:
- The steel outer surface of the machine gets hot to the touch during operation.
- This machine does not have any programming options. Pre-set cycle, does not include heat-free operation.
Overall conclusion:
The Q’Tessence QT400 works easily, quickly and produces excellent non-dairy beverages. The Q’Tessence QT400 consistently performs well as advertised. Safety is important to
me, so I usually choose to buy products that are U.L. listed and include added safety features whenever possible. The Q’Tessence QT400 is ETL listed.
It is notable that the Q’Tessence QT400 does not have programmable options and the price is higher than other brands with additional
features.
