Customer Reviews for Vevor Brand New Large Two 2 Frame Stainless Steel Electric Honey Extractor

For the price, this is a very nice extractor. I can't believe how FAST this shipped!!! It arrived with good packaging, and undamaged. I would say it does not look as heavy duty as the Dadant extractor I borrowed for a couple of years, BUT since I am just a hobbyist with 2 hives, should be more than adequate, and the price is more hobbyist-friendly for sure. I'll have to wait for a month or two to see how this works in use, but it sure looks like a well built piece of equipment, and so far VERY HAPPY with it!

last year I had some real problems with the coupler that links the motor to the frame cage. The rubber/plastic piece immediately squished out the side and I had a terrible time with unbalanced loads (which is the rule when extracting). Vivo sent me a replacement but it was no better. So after the season, I looked around and upgraded it to a L075 12mm and a heavier duty spider to go inside (there are many grades for different torques). When I was ready to start extracting I installed my new coupler and went to work. Not a whiff of a problem!

Haven’t used yet for extraction, but after assembly it does run without issue. Assembly went fairly smooth although instructions did not mention that removal of motor and frame racks would be needed in order to clean tub and to install honey gate. Top cover did have small stress fractures where the preassembled metal tabs for automatic shutoff were screwed into plexiglass cover as if screws were over torqued when assembled.

I received the unit yesterday (4/5/17) and it was double boxed so there was no damage in shipping. Everything was in there for assembly and i put it together in less than a half hour. Plugged it in, turned it on and everything ran fine. I hope to have some supers in another month or so, the bees are busy this spring. I wouldn't say this is the Mercedes of extractors from the finish work but in reality it's intended to spin frames to extract honey and from what I see it should work fine. I was glad to see there is a lot if support for tangential extraction of deep frames. I might add additional wire over the vertical bars just in case but it has good coverage for the deeps. It has a nice deep conical well for honey to collect and a rounded outer bottom edge not a seam so the honey should flow out the gate nicely and clean up easily. I just want to order a couple extra ball bearings in case I lose the one in the center post support. 5 gallon bucket fits under the gate and i also plan to attach the legs to a 3/4 inch plywood base for stability. I turned it on full speed empty and there is no vibration or wobbling at all. it's well balanced.

This thing is a wonder! I’m a bee keeping hobbyist (3 hives) and I’ve spun about 4 supers and 3 deeps with this extractor and it’s held up wonderfully. I don’t have it mounted to anything yet so I have to make sure it’s relatively balanced and start slow. It’s in my basement and I fold the laundry while it spins.

I have used this twice and it is Great. I had a 2 frame hand Crank and I wish I would have bought this back then. It is well with worth the money.

After assembling and using this extractor - I can confidently give it five stars. I have used many others from Dadant and Mannlake - this is very solid and it takes care of the comb. I didn't mount it and it did shake when load was uneven, but that is an easy fix. I used medium frames. love the auto stop and the clear covers. I waited years to buy an extractor and I am glad I waited and this is it. I keep about 10 hives year round.

I love this spinner. After using a 2 frame hand crank for 3 years I decided to upgrade. I bought this one and I am so happy I did. This spinner and I spun 1004 pounds of honey in 2019. It never missed a beat! Do yourself a favor and buy this spinner.

I plan to use this tomorrow. I have 2 medium supers of honey. This unit takes 8 medium frames laterally at a time if I choose to do that many. But I am a newby and hope to see it just work and save me some time. I will post more later.

An excellent alternative to a hand-crank honey extractor!! My kit was missing a screw and small plate that operated the safety switch, but their customer service was very friendly and they sent me out the parts quickly. It is definitely worth the money!!
