Do they not require daily cleaning and a vat of milk mixing up, like those Shepherdess things?

I’ve got a whydale mixer on mine so can mix 100 lrs and it will mix ever half hour for 30 seconds to stop it settling. You obviously have to wash it all out every morning.

Yes, but they're only £400.

I cleaned mine once every couple of days. And mixed milk with a drill.

I know proper machines are ridiculously expensive, but I always thought the Heatwave ones were even worse, for what is a very simple thing. You could make something very similar for not a lot of money.

I value my time at a lot less than you normally do, but the difference would still pay for itself in a few years.
