VEVOR Electric Honey Extractor, 4/8 Frame Stainless Steel Beekeeping Extraction, Honeycomb Drum Spinner with Transparent Lid, Apiary Centrifuge Equipment with Height Adjustable Stand

If you’re a hobby or somewhat small scale beekeeper, I highly recommend this! Granted, I don’t know what’s considered small scale. Ha! I bought this after seeing a Beek on YT do a video review and I’m so glad I did! This was perfect and made extraction so much faster! Forget cranking a handle by hand when you can get this electric extractor! We did 10 deep frames and a week later our friends came over to extract 11 mediums! I’ve told numerous people about the extractor and sent the link via text. It’s easy to put together, operate and clean along with being shockingly quiet. Perfect!

I was pleasantly surprised how easy this was to put together and use. At first I thought the motor might be too small for the job, but it spun out all the honey on an 85° day. And hallelujah, I don’t have to hand crank as this replaces an ancient hand crank one that was owned by my parents. I’m also happy with the small size and legs as I can easily move it around. Other reviews mention that it vibrates or wobbles, but I found that if you pay attention to the weight of the frames and put comparable weights opposite each other that it remains stable. Also starting slow and and working up to full speed also kept it stable. Overall for me it’s a good investment for the few hives I have.

Great extractor for the price. Easy to put together and operate. Was very surprised by how quiet it was. In summary here are pros and cons. Pros Good price, works well, easy to use and put together. Disassembly is easy but you do need a tool to loosen the mounting nuts. Cons Slight defect on one of the hinges for the lid. So that side has a small gap, no biggie. Slightly awkward to put med frames in the perpendicular slots, but they do fit. Disassembly is easy but assembly can be a bit fiddely due to the arms that attach to the motor/ central bar not being rigid. They basically flop around and it’s fiddely to align them again. Also no biggie. Lastly the hole for honey gate is a little high up the side of the drum so you need to tip the extractor quite a lot to get the last couple gallons out and if you tip it a 5 gallon bucket no longer fits underneath. I set it up on the longest leg setting as well so this is the main reason I didn’t give it 5 stars. Luckily I’m strong enough to have no issues picking it up and putting it at an angle on top of the bucket to drain the last bit. The extractor seems well made but is not overly heavy which helps. FYI don’t tighten the main 4 nuts on the motor/ central bar too much, I think you could bend it out of shape if you are not careful. I basically used a socket by hand to tighten so there was no play. That was good enough.

You cant beat the price for this little baby. Good craftsmanship and works awesome

Ordered in July. I just unboxed it to spin honey from the frames I just pulled from the hives. Everything was packaged nicely. However, one of the inside lids that were zip tied to the basket was cracked. It was clearly cracked when the handle was screwed to lid. Yet they wrapped it in foam wrap and shipped it anyway. I loaded my honey frames evenly according to weight for balance (not my first rodeo). First spin revealed the basket is NOT centered and it bangs off the side in one spot (see video). The other side has a lot more space between the drum and basket. The motor Slips and is really weak at its highest speed setting. I was only spinning the small honey super frames. I'd hate to see what happens if i loaded the large frames of honey from my deeps. It takes a long time to extract honey. I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED!!!! This product is not worth the money AT ALL! Pay up...Buy a Dadant honey extractor. That's what I used to have. It's better quality and the motor can handle slinging the honey.

Perfect for the hobby bee keeper. We have 8 large hives. Easy enough for my 10 and 12 yr old to operate. Easy to clean and assemble

This was our first year extracting honey from our bee hives, and we are glad we chose this extractor. It is quite and does a great job releasing honey from the frames. There are some tiny screws involved in the assembly, but nothing to take away from this product. We can place four frames at a time into the extractor. I will be building a simple wooden stand to hold it in place during use. There should be no surprise that a rotating tub will "walk", but the movement was minimal. It was easy to assemble, and the instructions were surprisingly clear and easy to understand. A simple rinse and the tub is clean and ready for another season.

Honey will collect at the bottom and be a pain to get out at the end. You will need to run the frames 3 times, once radial once on each side, and about 3 hours each. You will need to give this thing some support as it will shake like hell. Not much room for a honey bucket so a bit of a tight fit. The little screws to hold the cover down don't hold that well but they are a standard size so can be replaced ez mode. The thing is a bit jittery for the safety switch but not a huge issue. To other beekeepers I would also recommend that you use an ant bridge to keep the honey clean. All in all if you are running only 20-ish frames you will be good. You can take the motor off the top for indoor storage. Make sure the extractor gate is tight or you will get a bit of a surprise of extra honey sooner than you expect.
