VEVOR 2/4 Frame Manual Honey Extractor Stainless Steel Extraction Equipment | with Hand Crank, Clear Lid and Height Adjustable Stand, Honey Extractor for Beginner Backyard Beekeeping, Small Apiaries

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.

Works fine, easy to clean, a good design with steel parts that look like they will last a long time. I have been extracting honey for many years and decided to get this one for small batches of frames.

Showed up as described and adequately packaged, without damage. Requires cleaning before first use. I also cleaned out the grease and ball bearing and replaced the grease with a food grade since there was no documentation on what the factory installed grease is. The grease and ball bearing are in the center nut/socket at the bottom of the barrel. Basket is too high on the center rod, so frame ears hit the cross brace that the gearbox is mounted to. You can put two western frames in the basket deep frame pockets. Also you can cheat up the bracket by adding nuts to the bolts under the bracket. The basket being too high also exacerbates the air vortex that pushes fine honey droplets up and out of the barrel. The clear plastic lids help reduce, but not fully mitigate this. Not using the covers will get you and your work area covered in a fine honey mist. Also the lids are fully detached/gravity held, so I might use painter tape to tack them onto the gear bracket next extraction. Legs, honey gate hole, and weld spots are sharp, recommend extreme caution or some light sanding/buffing. Only other issue is the lower hole for the honey gate is not centered between the legs. Since gate hole is about 1/2 from bottom of the barrel, tilting the barrel on the two legs gets some residual honey out through the gate hole. Need a partner, or balancing act, to fully invert to drain the barrel for the last several ounces. Using a spatula helps. Overall fine, and satisfied. Reduced 1 star to 4 because the basket welded too high on the shaft for clearance.

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.

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.

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

This unit comes fully assembled except for the fact that you have to put on the legs. We didn’t tighten the bolts on the crankshaft and they backed out into the honey so I’d recommend doing that since we never had a problem once I put them back on and cranked them tightly. I have 4 new hives this year (two Nucs and 2 caught swarms) so honey production got off to a late start and it took no more an hour to extract about 20 lbs of honey. (And I was having troubles with my uncapping knife so could have been faster.) As long as you start slowly and build speed over a minute or two having slightly unbalanced frames is no problem. It’s sturdy enough for something I use once a year, and was very easy to clean with a hose. Also not so huge that it doesn’t store easily

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).

Funkar bra .

Ottimo acquisto. Funziona molto bene, facile da assemblare e smontare per la pulizia. poco stabile sui piedi? Vero, ma si risolve facilmente fissandolo su un piccolo bancale. Sono soddisfatta, articolo oltre le aspettative.

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.

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.
