This extractor came very well packaged. The foam it was encased in and the box was a little beat up, but it did it’s job and protected the goods.As with many extractors, I was worried about it shaking. I mounted it on a dolly with casters and a 2x2’ piece of board. It hardly moved from its spot. I wish the legs were just a little taller so that a 5 gallon bucket could fit underneath, but that would probably contribute to more shake. I extracted 4 frames on my first use and got 12lbs of honey, very efficient.Easy to clean. I used Dawn soap and hot water and let it drain. The bees helped to clean any spills I couldn’t get to.It’s the perfect tool for a hobby beekeeper!
