I've been waiting to do this review as I wanted to have used it a couple times first.
I bought this extractor in Feb '24 and have used it 3 times. I was slightly concerned with some of the more negative comments, however, with that in mind decided to give this machine a try. Firstly, I am a hobbyist beekeeper and only do extractions about 2-3 times per year depending on flow. I have used the machine 3 times since Feb and extracted around 30+ frames of honey.
The extractor is easy to use and does a very good job. The legs are a bit light and can cause more wobble than necessary, but I bolted the bases of the legs (they have holes cut out for this purpose) to a triangle of plywood and that firmed everything up. I attached locking castors to the bottom to easily move it around my shed. Also, you need to use your head a bit and think about using frames that feel close in weight to minimize the wobble at the start of extraction. If that isn't possible, go slow until the frames gradually become equal as the honey gets extracted, then speed up further. It is a bit of a "feel" thing, hard to explain, but easy to experience.
The comments on having the honey gate too high are accurate, but with the legs locked into the plywood base you can easily tip the machine a bit to get the last of the honey out. But, this would be a good design improvement, if they made the honey gate lower.
The motor is smooth and and works well. It did a great job of extracting the honey and supporting the frames during the process. It's all stainless steel and easy to clean. I take off the motor and pull out the baskets to clean everything after the extraction and it is quite simple to do (once you've done it for the first time). Beware, there is a ball bearing in the bottom center cup that the basket rod fits into, so if you turn the extractor over completely to get out any last water, that bearing can/will fall out. Just plunk it back in, reassemble and you're good to go. I also bought some food grade grease for the bearing maintenance.
Overall, I am super happy with the extractor and it fits well for hobbyists.
