VEVOR Honey Extractor Bee Honey Extractor Manual Honeycomb Spinner 2 Two Frame Stainless Steel Beekeeping Accessory (2 Frame Honey Extractor)

This is my 1st time ever using a honey extractor. I am 2 yrs into beekeeping. This is the rundown of my experience with the VEVOR Manual Honey Extractor. Out of the box, it looked shiny and all parts accounted for. Assembly was easy and already assembled parts had tight screws. The plexiglass covers, however, were not quality cut. They have some cracks and chips but as far as function they worked. I'm not sure what was going on when I put my frames in. They kept hitting the plexiglass covers, no matter how fast or slow I spun them. But all in all, it did the job efficiently. What honey I couldn't scrape out with a spatula, sat in the bottom of the tub and I put it outside for the bees to clean up. I will say that plastic foundations would work best with this extractor. Many of my wax combs was destroyed in the spinning process. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the plexiglass issues.

It functions well so far but the lid does not attach and when spinning, the frames sometimes hit the lid as it's moving around unless I held it with my free hand and that was hard to do! I'm not sure if there's something missing or not. Seems like the lid should be attached on hinges. Also, there's no brake

Holds two frames at a time. Both large and small frames. It spin smoothly. And holds a lot of honey.

Everything is looking good,,I won’t be able to use till next year,but it is very solid,and should do a great job !!!

It is built well. You will want to anchor it to a plywood base to keep it from wobbling around. Three frame holders worked well for our small operation.

Perfect little backyard extractor for the hobbyist that doesnt want to break the bank....just anchor the legs down and make sure the frames are balanced and its good to go.

I rated this item pretty highly even though it came damaged. I was going to complain but it was a clean dent that I was able to pop out almost completely. It works and I was happy with the overall item for the price. Just be aware that even though the outside of the shipping box doesn't show signs of damage, the way it is packaged, it can get dents with rough handling (thanks FedEx/UPS or whoever got this one).

You can buy this EXACT same extractor branded different ways for twice the price. This was the first time I have ever extracted honey. The extractor was easy to use and fairly easy to clean. The spout where the honey flows out of the extractor should be a little lower as the way it is will always leave about 1/2" of honey in the bottom, I had to tilt the extractor and hold it that way for a while to get the last 1/2 inch out. I don't think you can beat this product for the $$

Vary easy to put together and take apart for cleaning. We'll worth the money.

First chance to use. I found this ideal for a budget minded home beekeeper like myself. The operation is all but frictionless, even the crank handle has bearings in it. Very easy to spin three of the largest Langstroth frames. The lids fit snugly enough to seal the chamber and seal out bugs if you got to lunch yet can be totally removed and put aside allowing painless access to insert or extract the frames. The bottom spout is quite sufficient to hold the contents and operates smoothly. The frame cage sits on a single ball bearing already greased, just be careful when you clean not to let gravity or force of water blow it out and lose it. However, it looks like it could be cleaned not even removing the cage with no chance of losing the special grease and ball at all. I didn't but it very likely operates even better and faster if the three legs are bolted down (holes already drilled in legs) to a floor or 4'x4' piece of plywood. Assembly was short and simple, easy enough to take down and store. Light enough to be lifted and stored in my attic space. I am very satisfied with this purchase.
