I bought the electric thinking it would be easier than the manual. I am a 72 year old lady. I couldn't get to half the speed when it started bouncing and rattling all over the floor. I couldn't hold it a higher speed. As a result, I couldn't harvest all the honey. I had to abandon it and do it the hard way-manually scrape the frames with a knife then strain it twice through muslin. Took me 3 days.
Now I am having trouble placing the motor back on the frame carrier spindle and lining up the motor to screw it back on.
Very disappointed with the overall performance. I won't be using it again. A wasted purchase.
