Customer Reviews for VEVOR Electric Honey Extractor Separator 2 Frame Bee Extractor Stainless Steel Honeycomb Spinner Crank. Beekeeping Extraction Apiary Centrifuge Equipment

This unit is well designed and well built.Pros:*It holds 4 deep frames or 8 medium frames.*The drain comes out of the bottom, (not the side like so many other units) and the bottom slopes toward the drain so you don’t have to invert the extractor to get the last few lbs of honey out.Cons:*The instructions suck (like most Chinese products).*Its a little tight to put frames of honey in it, they could’ve given a bit more room to load heavy frames, empties go in with ease, like in the demo, but who’s ever going to load empty frames.*The packaging is a bit underwhelming the unit arrived in good shape but the box was badly beaten, torn open, taped back together and 1 small nut was missing.*No parts list to identify the normal wearing parts such as the coupling bushing and bottom bearing.

It is a good product for the price, it would be a lot better if the basket had a couple slight modifications and it could extract 8 medium frames radially. It won’t with this basket design without some mods. It is made of cheaper quality materials, but it does work and makes extraction quicker than hand cranking a 2 frame extractor.

Came on time- works good, but the honey extractor itself was in horrible shape it was bended all over the place as if the box was thrown around and the box it came in was also ripped and dented.

This is our first extractor and works great! Applaud the customer service too, our lid broke (caution on tightening screws), and they sent a replacement immediately for free!! We have the 4 frame, but can actually fit 8 honey super frames in at a time. You should also mount this to some kind of table, platform, as it will shake all over floor otherwise. Even if frames are balanced, will move around. We secure the legs to plywood.

Set up quickly. Make sure to double check all screws that were installed at factory, a couple were loose after shipping. Extracted honey great! Love it!

We were very pleased with this honey extractor. It worked well and was easy to clean up. Highly recommend. Very sturdy and well thought out and really like the variable speed motor. A really good product.

I received my VIVO extractor today, arrived in two days! It was packaged in not one but two thick cartons, styrofoam and packing material. The extractor came out of the box in perfect condition, no dings or dents. The hardware was packed separately as were the instructions. The gauge of metal is thicker than I thought it would be.Super easy to assemble, took me 15 minutes with a Phillips screw driver and crescent wrench. ALL HARDWARE WAS STAINLESS STEEL and there were extra screws , bolts and nuts along with an extra connection grommet for the joint between the motor and shaft, someone complained about screwing theirs up so now the supplier provides a second one. Shows the supplier is paying attention to comments. After assembly we turned it on, it was balanced and made no weird noises or appeared out of balance. While we haven’t extracted honey yet ( July 2021 we will) it spun great at all speeds. I think it’s a great product . While some folks seemed to have a different opinion , I think the item I received was way better than I hoped for based on the negative reviews. I will add to this review once I put honey frames into it, but if you are wondering whether or not to buy it , go for it , I did and I’m happy I did.

I am not sure if this is where I should leave a review of the honey extractor but here it goes anyway. The package arrived ahead of schedule, and appears to work as advertised. Assembly was easy, but have not yet installed the legs as I plan to place on a shelf so as to accommodate a 5 gallon honey bucket. Upon opening the box I noticed the styrofoam used to protect the unit was completely destroyed (maybe from shipping?) which caused small pieces of foam dust to get all over everything. vacuum used to clean out of motor area. Upon inspection of the drum of the extractor itself I noticed what appeared as possibly a thin layer of graphite grease all over the inside part of the drum. I used a paper-towel and swiped the inside of the drum and it came out black. As a result, the unit was completely disassembled (easy to do) and thoroughly cleaned with HOT soapy water and scouring pad. WARNING!!! Clean this unit BEFORE use!!!! Hot soapy water and scouring pad three times seemed to do the trick. - Thank You.

Purchased this spinner in 2019, then spun 37 gallons of honey in 2020, this year we dropped the spinner and broke it. Parts weren't immediately available so I purchased another 1. While spinning honey the motor overheated. Called customer service and they sent a new 1 out immediately, only question they had was if my address was still the same. I have now also received the parts needed to fix the broken unit. Customer service is quick and so is shipping. Great spinner, do yourself a favor and get 1.

Very good quality for the prices charged. Holds quite a few shallow or deep frames. Nice to have the clear acrylic lid to see the progress but keep bees out. Fairly easy to clean except you will be left with a bit of honey at the bottom because that part is tough to pour out. I think that's fairly common with the pour spout being just above the base of the container.
