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

Very good product. Will not actually use till spring. When the bees become active here.Excellent follow up and after sales service.

Well made good value for money

Very well constructed very impressed with how it operates was well worth the money cut my extracting time in half

It work's fine, the legs have sharp edges just file the edges before assembly.

Arrived without delays, packed professionally. The hinges are designed for countersink bolts, however flat head bolts were supplied. The electric circuit cover was screwed on top of one of the hinges so I had to remove to and correct. The metal bracket on which the motor is mounted is arched down a little which causes the plastic lids not fully closing. The legs are a bit wobbly. All the above are minor issues, to be honest. The instruction could have been printed a bit better (unclear) using a bit better English. Despite the above, assembling was quite easy and quick. Before I used it I had to clean the grease from the inside of the axle base (why put grease where it would mix with honey?). The motor is very quiet, the speed range is quite adequate. Being able to vary the speed is very important, as with full frames the device vibrates too much at higher speeds (which is expected as their weights would never be exactly the same). After most of the honey flew out I was able to crank the rotations to almost max. with only little vibrations. Overall I am satisfied, it does the job and it is a good value for money, in my opinion as far as a hobbyist-beekeeper like myself is concerned.

Great item but tighten up all nuts internally before use.

This honey extractor has the same issue like all extractors they can wobble around a fair bit when the honey frames are unbalanced. Just need fixing in place so they do not 'walk' across the floor when trying to extract honey. If the RPM could be slightly higher would make for a more timely extraction but gets the job done.

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.
