Customer Reviews for VEVOR Electric Honey Extractor Separator 2 Frame Bee Extractor Stainless Steel Honeycomb Spinner Crank. Beekeeping Extraction Apiary Centrifuge Equipment

I purchased this Vevor 4/8 electric extractor as my first extractor, and was overall very pleased. Assembly is straightforward. The motor is quite quiet as is the full process when your spinning with some balance in the frame holder. If running out of balance try to minimize by inserting another frame(s) to reduce the mismatch. In these cases bolting down the legs would help. We had fun extracting 66.5 lbs from 14 frames, some deep and some medium or shallow. Ultimately placing either size in tangentially provided us the best results. Trying to spin the smaller frames radially didn’t work effectively for us. Clean up was relatively easy. The single piece frame holder has to be removed for a thorough cleaning and this can only be done by removing four nuts to remove the cover/motor assembly. That feature makes an economic design but is why I rated a four and not a five on features. After leaning the extractor on its side to pour all remaining honey through the honey valve we still spooned out another 1.5 lbs from inside before deciding to stop and clean. Overall, I recommend it.

Using it for my second season. So far so good. I have about 100 frames extracted at this point. Legs are a little weak but functional. Not a commercial unit but good enough for now.

We usually keep 6-8 backyard hives, and this extractor made our summer harvest this year so much easier. The spinning bin holds 8 honey supers at a time (4 radially, 4 laterally). Our routine was to load eight frames, spin them down for a couple of minutes, stop to flip the lateral frames, then spin all eight down another couple of minutes. Worked like a charm. I've always used a manual extractor in the past, but I won't be going back. The larger capacity and super quiet electric motor makes our honey harvest much more enjoyable.

I used this for the first time today. Final assembly was easy. I anchored it before using on 4x4s with lag bolts. Fit, finish, and quality of the materials could stand some upgrades, but for this price it performed to perfection. I expect to use it for a long time.

Most excellent product. Does everything it should for a fraction of the cost of others. I am so happy I found Vevor and this product. Thank you Vevor. This extractor is a total game changer. I have 24 honeybee colonies, all are 10 frame deeps and I can easily keep up with the work.

A good little extractor for the price. The installation instructions and operational instructions that come with it are severely lacking. It has a ballbearing in the bottom that needs to be oiled with food grade high heat cooking oil before use. Not mentioned in the book. They say that honey is self-oiling, but this is not totally true. If you don't oil it, you run the chance of overheating the bearing. Also, be careful not to lose the bearing when you clean the machine. It will just roll out when the tank is turned upside down in cleaning. The bottom of the tank is lower than the honey gate, which means you will need to tilt it to get out the remaining honey. Inconvenient, but not a deal breaker for the price point. Other machines do not have this issue, but cost several times more. I used their tech service, and they were very responsive and helpful. Overall, I would recommend this extractor for the small hobby beekeepers who produce a couple of hundred pounds or less of honey. Much easier than hand-cranked.

I haven't had a chance to officially use this but am looking forward to it. I had a hand crank extractor and this will be a nice change to all that extra work. Plus my old extractor is a 3 frame so I am hoping 4 will be a lot better. The price is hard to beat as long as it holds up for a few seasons it will be a great savings on the more expensive ones.

great product "«"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I bought this through a search on FB marketplace and for the price of used extractors I was able to get a brand new electric one. I was originally concerned with shipping, how long it would take to arrive and the quality but I received the extractor within 2-3 days of ordering, and was packaged very well. It is protected with Styrofoam and key parts are wrapped in plastic to prevent rattling/scratching, etc. It took 5-10 minutes to set up and I'm not even sure if I looked at the instructions because it was very intuitive. I extracted about 10 frames and I was also very impressed with the quality. It was quiet and did not shake/rattle and roll as it extracted. The knob allows you to adjust the speed based on the weight of the frames. I was not paid for this review. I just got a great deal on a high quality item and wanted to share my experience.

Love this honey extractor! We have 4 hives and works well for us. So much easier than turning a crank.
