2/4 Frame Manual Honey Extractor Stainless Steel Extraction Equipment

This did a great job for me. Yes, it needs to be screwed to the floor or a large sheet of plywood because ALL honey frames are not equal in balance, and this thing shakes like crazy if not bolted down. Having said that, it is an indispensable tool for a small time beekeeper. Relatively easy to clean. Price is fantastic!

Very sturdy and easy to assemble. Great price. I used it for my very first honey harvest. It worked very well. It was pretty stable just sitting on the floor and only wobbled when it got to max speed but otherwise worked just fine.

As a first year keeper, I bought this as an economical way to extract my honey without having to rely on anyone else. I am pretty happy with how it works. I bolted mine to a wood base, which also allows me to stand on it for extra support. It's easy to use and seems to extract the honey well. My only complaint is with the plexiglass covers. I had to trim a little off the plastic pins that sit inside the extractor to hold the covers in place because the frames hit them while spinning. That fixed the issue, but the cover design is just not great. For a few dollars more, they could have just put hinges on them and it would have been a much better design. I'll probably retrofit mine with hinges next season. All in all, it works well for a hobbyist. After using it, I don't see any reason I'll ever upgrade to electric. It's not difficult to turn the crank and I can use it anywhere without dragging a cord around.

Misplaced my existing setup, needed a replacement quickly. Had it at my door in under a week, from box to spinning frames in maybe 5 minutes. Pros: main body is solid, all parts go together well. Form and function. Gear ratio seems nicer than the one it replaced, less crank at the handle for more speed in the barrel. 4 frames fit well enough, 2 brood or 4 super. Cons: legs are a bit flimsy, they are holding at the minute but don’t like the flex they are showing. I will likely get some plywood to fasten this down too before next harvest. The slots for the brood frames are very tight, could have a little more tolerance designed in. Small gripes on my part, well worth the money and should last me a while. Would buy again without hesitation.

Very good quality. However, you will need to mount it to a sturdy piece of wood (I used 1 inch plywood) as the legs are too wobbly at high rotations. Probably more noticeable if the frames are perfectly balanced (which they aren't generally).

Can’t not request to return due to defective item! The website didn’t allow us to process the return. I received a broken item, and don’t the what to do with it - wasting my $140

Works great for manual extraction

I have only 2 hives so this suits me perfectly. I wanted to be able to extract on my own schedule and not rely on using friend’s bigger extractor. It’s a large apparatus so be sure you have a place to store it. It went together well and I found it easy to use. It does jiggle around a lot as you spin it, but it gets the job done. I’ve done 6 frames (3 at a time) and it did a great job. It can get tiring so I see why people with more hives need the electric extractor. The low price gave me just what I needed. It was easy to clean.

Bon rapport qualité prix, mécanisme solide et efficace.

Went together easy. It worked as expected. Legs are flimsy, but others have noted that too. If you are just getting started and only have 10-20 frames per year, this is your cost effective unit.

Todo bien pero las medidas no me valían y lo devolví. Por todo lo demás, bien.

Für den Preis Gute Qualität

Die Lieferung erfolgte pünktlich. Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist sehr gut. Sehr gutes Preis- Leistungsverhältnis für Hobbyimker mit wenigen Bienestöcken. Einziger Kritikpunkt, die Kanten der Beine sind, da aus Metall, etwas scharf, es werden Handschuhe für die Montage mitgeliefert. Zusammenfassend: ich bin sehr zufrieden.
