It is built well. You will want to anchor it to a plywood base to keep it from wobbling around. Three frame holders worked well for our small operation.

I only maintain a couple hives. This works great for my needs.

We are small scale beekeepers and this fits our needs perfectly! Took the advice of others and screwed the base to a sheet of plywood for stability.

First chance to use. I found this ideal for a budget minded home beekeeper like myself. The operation is all but frictionless, even the crank handle has bearings in it. Very easy to spin three of the largest Langstroth frames. The lids fit snugly enough to seal the chamber and seal out bugs if you got to lunch yet can be totally removed and put aside allowing painless access to insert or extract the frames. The bottom spout is quite sufficient to hold the contents and operates smoothly. The frame cage sits on a single ball bearing already greased, just be careful when you clean not to let gravity or force of water blow it out and lose it. However, it looks like it could be cleaned not even removing the cage with no chance of losing the special grease and ball at all. I didn't but it very likely operates even better and faster if the three legs are bolted down (holes already drilled in legs) to a floor or 4'x4' piece of plywood. Assembly was short and simple, easy enough to take down and store. Light enough to be lifted and stored in my attic space. I am very satisfied with this purchase.

Did a great job after straddling the frame on a platte , and at first deep frames hit the lid so that needed to be adjusted , but as far as spinning (after the adjustment) did the job and the best part is that the handle can be removed as well as the frame holders so it’s easy to clean

I’m not sure what I did before this! Easy to use, easy to clean.

I am thrilled with this purchase. This is much nicer than I expected considering the price. Very nice addition to my honey business. Highly recommend! Great value and very well made. Quality product.

Lo smielatore si monta con facilità e funziona bene nella parte meccanica. Per un apicicoltore hobbista con 3 arnie, come me, è perfetto. Unica cosa ricordatevi che lavorando con la forza centrifuga, non appena aumentate i giri, se le gambe non sono assicurate al terreno, avrete qualche difficoltà a tenerlo fermo. Ci sono infatti i fori nei piedini ed una volta azionato si capisce il perché della loro presenza. Io personalmente ho risolto avvitandolo ad un bancale che mi ha evitato di abbracciare lo smielatore per evitare che cadesse.

The honey extractor works great for my needs. You do have to be careful putting the thicker end of the frame into the recess of the holder. Otherwise it will hit the top when you are spinning. But it's very effective with only 15-20 seconds per side

We just finished extracting 200 lbs out of three deep supers. This extractor performed like a champ. Made of stainless steel, actually, I can't believe it was so inexpensive. It holds three deep frames at one time, one side facing out during each spin. The extractor spins very smoothly, and the frames are easy to put into and take out off the basket. Because of the uneven weight of individual frames, the legs of the extractor need to be attached to the floor to keep it steady. I attached it to a half sheet of plywood. Afterwards, it was easy to clean with a hose.
