This is my 1st time ever using a honey extractor. I am 2 yrs into beekeeping. This is the rundown of my experience with the VEVOR Manual Honey Extractor. Out of the box, it looked shiny and all parts accounted for. Assembly was easy and already assembled parts had tight screws. The plexiglass covers, however, were not quality cut. They have some cracks and chips but as far as function they worked. I'm not sure what was going on when I put my frames in. They kept hitting the plexiglass covers, no matter how fast or slow I spun them. But all in all, it did the job efficiently. What honey I couldn't scrape out with a spatula, sat in the bottom of the tub and I put it outside for the bees to clean up. I will say that plastic foundations would work best with this extractor. Many of my wax combs was destroyed in the spinning process. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the plexiglass issues.

Work really great the only complaint I have is when you spin your honey out you have to go half speed with a full frame to get some of the honey out then turn it and go a little faster and then turn it again to finish the half side (with fresh comb) . It will rip the comb out of the frame. This was my fault because this was my first time doing this if I would buy one again I would buy one with the frames pointing towards the center.

We were really surprised at how well-made this extractor was. As we only have a few hives, this works well for us. The only problem we had, was that the frames we use in our Langstroth hives were a little too tall and hit the spin mechanism support brackets on the top. I was able to fix this problem by cutting about a half of an inch off of the shaft on the rotating cage, which dropped the entire assembly down and prevented the frames from hitting the top. This is the only reason I gave it at four out of five stars but we were able to fix the problem and are happy with our purchase.

Delivered quickly. Exactly as described. Worked well for honey extraction.
