Stainless Steel Large 4/8 Frame Honey Extractor

Great value

Go online to see how it comes apart and goes back together. Yes that ballbearing will roll out when you take it apart to wash it ! Because of the oils used on stainless to manufacture it take no chances...You HAVE to wash it before spinning out . So tip it over on a towel and put the baring in your pocket until your done with the washing.We spun out only about 75 lbs. If the spinning becomes hard it's because the honey needs to be emptied from the bottom add bottom board for spinning ( mine had holes ready for this) if you have to off balance of place a few empty frames opposed. Then again when it comes to washing. Hose the entire thing with warm water. Remember Honey is thicker than water and this will not be water tight , so do it in the bath tub. Then take it apart for soap and bleach washing after recovering the bearing on a towel. Works really well . This unit however does not have a handle that disengaged once you let go. Warning you need to pull your hands out of the way . You will pay more for that feature. Good luck. Good for the back yard beekeepers who can't always get the spinners from the club when you need it. Ps if you can get 1/2 gallon bucket s they will fit below the gate. Making straining so much easier. It's the bees knees but you don't want those in your jar of honey.

Overall great extractor for the money.

Easy to assemble. Will work for both frame sizes.

Needs some work

Everything is good except I had to modify the upper leg bolts, they were too long. I also had to shim the drive gear for proper gear lash. Otherwise very well made.

Very good

Very good product I would buy it again

Works well for me!

I think for price it is good extractor for a hobbest. With a little Mod to frame holder,wire basket to hold frame better. Open gear box and check for tightness, lu b drive shaft. About 20 min.s will time you will be spinn& grinning! Yes I buy again. Is repair parts available, if needed?

great value

this is a quality stainless steel product (I have used it to extract approx. 150lbs of honey from 6 medium supers) , compared to similarly sized products at bee supply websites, this offered more size and better price. this does not seem like a cheaply made item. for me as a small backyard beekeeper, i wouldn't be surprised if this is the last extractor i will ever need to buy.

honey gate needs rethought

This is an awesome unit. The first two years all went well with it. Season 3 the honey gate had warped enough to leak when closed. A heavier duty gate would be nicer. A new gasket in year three may do the trick too. I bought a new gate from Better Bee.

Sturdy construction

Very sturdy construction, confident will last a long time.

Love this! Easy to use!

Works great

Good value, runs nice.

Overall,good construction and turns smoothly. I made some support bars and converted it into a radial extractor for 8 medium frames. The legs had sharp edges that needed to be filed off to prevent cuts but it was a 5 minute fix. A clutch in the drive unit would be nice so that the handle stops when you stop cranking.

We are very pleased with this "honey slinger

We are very pleased with this "honey slinger." It is inexpensive, and durable. The gearing is particularly tight and inspires confidence that it will be with you rendering excellent service for decades. As others have noted, it moves around a lot, and needs a couple of people holding it during operation. But, you can bolt or screw it down to a wooden base if you like, and solve that objection well. Would buy again for sure. Will only buy another model when we need to process far greater volumes. This is great for small volumes.

Good value

Great value for price. I had to make modification to basket with stainless wire to better support 8 medium frames in radial config. Overall very happy, great value. I also recommend to mount on to wood base to prevent walking and to raise honey gate high enough to fit 5 gallon buckets underneath.

Five Stars

Very nice welded longer legs on works great

Worth it

Extracts like a champ

better equipment than expected

On time, better equipment than expected.

Goplus Stainless Steel 4 Frame Honey Extractor!

I am very impressed with this item!! Previously, when harvesting honey from the bee hives, it was a week long process! Removing the frames, scraping off the frame into a large container with mesh to catch debris from the frame. This would take several days to get just honey in the container! I generally would do this in kitchen, thus taking up almost all of the counter space in the kitchen!! So I decided to buy a Honey Extractor!! I used it today. It was wonderful!! And it leaves the comb on the frame, so the bees no longer have to rebuild the combs!! What took several days to harvest before, now just took a few hours!! I am very pleased with product!! "LOVE IT, can you tell!! ?? Great product!!! Thank You!!!
