Customer Reviews for VEVOR Manual Honey Extractor Separator 3 Frame Stainless Steel Honeycomb Drum Spinner Crank Beekeeping Equipment Apiary Centrifuge Equipment

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.

Spinning honey is sticky and a r4eal mess. This manual extractor has made it doable for small bee keepers. I have used it every year and am so pleased with it. If its off balance my husband applies more pressure on the top.

I like that it can be disassembled for easy cleaning. I would recommended you mount this to the floor or a base with the pre drilled holes. If you don’t the unit has a slight wobble while cranking.

Extractor works fine but legs are a little flimsy. Unless bolted down the exterior moves around a lot.

The honey extractor works great for my needs. You do have to be careful putting the thicker end of the frame into the recess of the holder. Otherwise it will hit the top when you are spinning. But it's very effective with only 15-20 seconds per side

We are new bee keepers and couldn't wait to borrow our local bee associations extractor. This price was right to invest in our own. It arrived very quickly and was easy to put together. I mounted mine to a 4x4 piece of plywood with rubber washers and feet to help with vibration. It worked great! We left the lid off as it made a lot of noise because it's not attached. No "clutch" on the handle but what do you want for such a great price? Clean up was easy with a cold then hot hosing out. I would recommend!

Worked great! Excellent addition to my back yard bees! The legs are a little thin but once secured seemed ok

Used once. Worked very well. attached a cordless drill instead of using the hand crank. Only downside was that the gate does not drain the lower 1 gallon or so of honey without tipping it. I ended up supporting it upside down to drain all the honey before letting the bees thoroughly clean it.

Assembly was easy. The only issue is the plexiglass lids do not have hinges and will not work with the screw pegs.The pegs will hit the rotating basket. I used duct tape to hinge them in place and it works fine. Other than that it works awesome.

The extractor is great if you don't mind manual cranking, which was easy for this 68 year old. We did 10 frames and will have more to do in a week or two.The only thing that I had a problem with was honey comb frame would end woulld hit the protruding plastic lid support. I didn't get a chance to see if it was a minor adjustment I can make.
