Manual 3-Frame Honey Extractor

This is a well-made, manual honey extractor. Everything is well put together. I’m glad I bought it and would recommend it be bought by anyone else.

Needed to bolt it down to get the most out of it, but works great

Very good quality. However, you will need to mount it to a sturdy piece of wood (I used 1 inch plywood) as the legs are too wobbly at high rotations. Probably more noticeable if the frames are perfectly balanced (which they aren't generally).

Best purchase I’ve made in a while. I was doing the brush and strain method but with 10+ hives, that got impractical very fast. I should have bought this when I only had 4 hives. It already paid for itself. Super easy to set up and use. Easy to clean. I have 0 complaints. Only regret not buying it sooner. I did build my own stand for it and I’m not using the legs that came with it mostly because I wanted to be able to rig it to tilt forward when I’m draining it. I managed to get every last drop out of it just leaning it forward. No scraping the bottom needed. I also rigged a heat lamp on it so I can heat up the extractor without heating up my entire work space. I just wrapped it back in the shipping insulation and it holds the heat in perfectly to make extracting very fast and easy.

Seems well made. I expect it to last. The spinning mechanism is medal ie not plastic. The gear ratio is not tiring. I see no need to buy an electric. One problem is the drain valve. Trying to fit a flat drain and nut to a round tank is not well thought out.
