Customer Reviews for VEVOR 3/6 Frame Electric Honey Extractor Beekeeping Stainless Steel W/ 3 Legs

I haven't had a chance to officially use this but am looking forward to it. I had a hand crank extractor and this will be a nice change to all that extra work. Plus my old extractor is a 3 frame so I am hoping 4 will be a lot better. The price is hard to beat as long as it holds up for a few seasons it will be a great savings on the more expensive ones.

great product "«"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I bought this through a search on FB marketplace and for the price of used extractors I was able to get a brand new electric one. I was originally concerned with shipping, how long it would take to arrive and the quality but I received the extractor within 2-3 days of ordering, and was packaged very well. It is protected with Styrofoam and key parts are wrapped in plastic to prevent rattling/scratching, etc. It took 5-10 minutes to set up and I'm not even sure if I looked at the instructions because it was very intuitive. I extracted about 10 frames and I was also very impressed with the quality. It was quiet and did not shake/rattle and roll as it extracted. The knob allows you to adjust the speed based on the weight of the frames. I was not paid for this review. I just got a great deal on a high quality item and wanted to share my experience.

Love this honey extractor! We have 4 hives and works well for us. So much easier than turning a crank.

Overall it’s a great product. Only set back on the design is the acorn nuts used to hold motor frame on the extractor drum . Really hard to line up the lovejoy coupling and get the bolts through motor bracket. Other than that . I used it to extract 20 gallons of honey in about 3 hours .

I purchased the honey extractor. It was a good purchase snd was a wonderful asset to harvest honey. I did not realize how many other products they have. I will be a loyal customer.

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.

Works great great price would recommend it to anyone looking for a great product would buy again of I needed 2

Used for the first time this year. Worked exactly like it was supposed to. Zero issues, just be sure to mount it to the ground or weight it down.

I happy with my purchase. I like that the bottom is concave so the honey is flowing to the outside. the drain out needs to be lower and the legs are wobbly. So I had to do some work on the legs and I still trying to make a plan for the drain. I suggest you use some lock tite on the screws so that they do not come off into your honey.
