I have the same milking machine 🥰. For cleaning, I reconnect all the hoses after emptying the milk, fill a sink with hot soapy water, then hot water with a little bleach and then rinse water. The machine pulls through the hose to the pail and then I just brush clean pail I love goats milk, I have so much less issues with it than cow's milk.
@deannavestal1394 Just be careful. I put my can in storage and then. I opened it and it was mold on the bottom. I changed all my milking cans with smooth bottom
I just happened to come across your channel and I enjoyed it even though this was a milking machine review. Do I own a farm? NO, Do I own goats? NO, heck Do I even own a house? NO, but I really enjoyed your video and I look forward to seeing your channel grow!
I tried a similar machine, but it just not latches on my goat teats (Lamancha, quite a big teats). Any ideas how to solve it? I would like to use the machine instead of hand milking to save hands from developing arthritis or some other possible issues. Thank you.
Thanks so much for this video! I have the same machine and I was wondering if you don't clamp the lines before you attach them to the teat? Also the dial on the vacuum pump - how high do you like to turn it up?
Hey Kelsey the only time I use the clamp is if one teat runs out of milk before the other. You must have an upgraded pump, this one only has one speed!
Could you send me the link for the one you got? I got one and we just tried for the first time and I feel that its not suctioning properly. I stopped and still got lots of milk by hand. I really want the pump to work. ;(
Is there a reason why you don't drink the goat milk? I have two Alpine nannies with kids a bought the battery powered milking machine. I plan on drinking the milk.
I just bought what looks to be the same off of Amazon. I have Nubian/boar cross with larger teats. I did not try let the suction pull them in my first try and just gave up and went to hand milking. Do you think a buffer teat will fit?
I had an alpine with larger teats and it would just suck the teat in. I almost felt like it was faster to just milk her by hand but the machine allowed me to work on getting the other goats ready.
Sorry for just getting back with you. Yes we are still using the same unit. Great little machine. Just make sure to tighten the screws once a week. I have lost a couple.
If you have a small setup it works great. I think if I had more than two does I would spend the extra money for a higher quality machine. I have sure enjoyed it for what I do!
I don't recommend that stainless steel The bottom has a seam where it collects spoiled milk. Have to boil every time for sanidizing too much headache. I modified my hoses with inline filter and valve off Amazon.
Terri - this machine is VERY loud! It also ended up rattling one of the screws loose so make sure you tighten them every week or so. Here is a link to this one. I think there are a lot of the same that come from China. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KCYF96B/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 The brand is Vogvigo
