Customer Reviews for VEVOR Electric Honey Extractor 3 Frame Bee Extractor Stainless Steel Honey Spinner with Stand Beekeeping Equipment

Works well as an extractor once you have stabilised it. The supplied legs are useless and cannot dampen the vibration of extracting. If you can change to stiffer legs it is a good working extractor for the price. Also make the new legs longer as original is too low to put a pail under with a strainer.

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.

Extractor works well, easy to assemble and use. A reverse function would be great on it but it doesn’t take much effort to flip the frames. The legs are a little flimsy but I just used the lower setting on them to reduce any movement. I would recommend this product to any backyard beekeepers

Unit arrived as advertised in quick time and in new condition. Legs had sharp edges that were removed easily with a file. The extractor worked perfectly but I feel that the legs may fail over time if the unit is screwed down tight and the frames are out of balance. This is the only minor fault I have. Otherwise very good. Overall I am very happy with the extractor. My wife and I used it and it worked perfectly.

The parcel arrived securely packaged with no damage. The extractor was easy to assemble by following the instructions. Everything was included as per the instructions. Whilst we haven't used it yet, it looks like it will do the job required. Happy with our purchase!

I bought the electric thinking it would be easier than the manual. I am a 72 year old lady. I couldn't get to half the speed when it started bouncing and rattling all over the floor. I couldn't hold it a higher speed. As a result, I couldn't harvest all the honey. I had to abandon it and do it the hard way-manually scrape the frames with a knife then strain it twice through muslin. Took me 3 days. Now I am having trouble placing the motor back on the frame carrier spindle and lining up the motor to screw it back on. Very disappointed with the overall performance. I won't be using it again. A wasted purchase.
