I happy with my purchase. I like that the bottom is concave so the honey is flowing to the outside. the drain out needs to be lower and the legs are wobbly. So I had to do some work on the legs and I still trying to make a plan for the drain. I suggest you use some lock tite on the screws so that they do not come off into your honey.
Decent product will get the job done. My only issue is the fact that the honey gate is not low enough to get all the honey out. You will of to get someone to help you tilt the extractor to get out the rest of the honey. Which is a Hassel. Other than that its a good product. I only use it once on my first extraction ever aa a new beekeeper. I Just started last year August. You can check me out youtube channel Starhub Adventures.
For a small apiary, this thing has been a great product at a great price point. Used multiple seasons now with no issues. Learning curve on how to balance frames and assemble after cleaning. The newest model looks to have fixed those small issues. Would buy again
When I received the unit was missing some hardware, but after contacting the customer service, I was able to get the parts that was missing. It took a little bit longer than I expected but I got them and everything worked out great then.
Acceptable except difficult to clean
It meets my basic needs
Need to balance the combs
Else too much vibration
Generally good
The high is good able to put 5 gallons bucket at the drain hole
The lower bushing and upper linkage is a bit weak. When frames are full to start spinning, they will wobble a little with thickness of honey on side wall will rub. Other than that works pretty good, no problems yet.
