VEVOR Honey Extractor, 2/4 Frame Stainless Steel Manual Beekeeping Extraction, Honeycomb Drum Spinner with Transparent Lid, Apiary Centrifuge Equipment with Height Adjustable Stand, Silver

Best purchase I’ve made in a while. I was doing the brush and strain method but with 10+ hives, that got impractical very fast. I should have bought this when I only had 4 hives. It already paid for itself. Super easy to set up and use. Easy to clean. I have 0 complaints. Only regret not buying it sooner. I did build my own stand for it and I’m not using the legs that came with it mostly because I wanted to be able to rig it to tilt forward when I’m draining it. I managed to get every last drop out of it just leaning it forward. No scraping the bottom needed. I also rigged a heat lamp on it so I can heat up the extractor without heating up my entire work space. I just wrapped it back in the shipping insulation and it holds the heat in perfectly to make extracting very fast and easy.

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).

Good value for the price. I need to bolt it down to prevent the wobbling. It did not come with the bolts to attach the legs so I had to purchase those. Contacting Vevor was an absolute waste of time. Also, be very careful. There are some very sharp edges on different parts of the unit.

This is NOT cheaply made. I put it together in 10 minutes. It was unbelievable how fast it shipped. The handle turns the insides very smoothly and quickly. This extractor is awesome!

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.

The cheapest one BUT it is the best made I found! The legs are sturdy, the hardware is heavy duty. Spins in both directions (some do not). Easy assembly. All food-grade 18-10? stainless steel.

Hopefully, one of the gates I've ordered will work on this extractor because what is included will not. Will NOT seal to drum.**This gate works** Harder plastic with a few extra threads to tighten and secure. I used the O-ring that came with the original packed gate on the inside of barrel. Functional, no leaks.https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07P5C3S5Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_pop_mob_b_asin_titleIt slings honey, gate is over 1 1/2" above bottom of barrel and will require tipping unit to flow out, about 2 frames of honey worth. I have no confidence the "feet pads" will retain integrity, exceptionally small spotwelds. This units Original rating was before 1st use, and because there is no 1 1/2 stars, It stays the same.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:The product does the job, enough for a small bee farm. Build quality:When using those legs the construction is VERY wiggly, unstable, installed bolts were not holding well and fell to the honey - had to add starlock washers and tight them up.
