Thorough and honest review on both. Great job! Thanks for the info!

Good video, Bruce. Thank you for your real unbiased review!

Good timing on your video. I just purchased a Vevor electrical 4/8 frame tonight as a second extractor. Good comparison.

Great review Bruce!

It’s nice to have a small extractor around for those days when you come across just a few frames you want to extract and you don’t want to have to clean a 30 frame tub.

Thanks Bruce, enjoyed that, hope the manufacturers take note if your constructive suggestions

I only have three hives and I have the Vevor two frame manual with the metal lid. It's okay it does the job and for the price it's great. Everything works smoothly and mine is really good quality. Thanks for another honest review.

Wish I had seen before I purchased manual. Good video

Good review Bruce.

Good review Bruce, thanks for sharing 😎

Good review video Bruce!

This is one piece of equipment that I still need to purchase. I started with two nucs this year and ended up splitting one. Now two of the three are strong enough and starting to fill my first honey supers so it's looking like I may be able to pull a little if the flow continues here in s.w. PA. As always, thanks for the video. Vevor seems to be the best value for someone like myself. I think I would go with the electric model as well. Staying low budget went out the window as soon as I started purchasing equipment.

Well done

I bought the manual and it served its purpose when I had 2-4 hives...I used to bolt it to my shed floor...I upped the game this year to a Hillco which I love!

I bought the electric extractor about 4 years ago to supplement my old extractor. The first time i used it, two of the leg brackets that are spot welded to the tank broke . I contacted the company, and they sent me a new tank. The spot welds on the new tank didn't look any better than the first, so I sold it.

That manual one brings back memories of the way we use to make ice cream when I was a kid. That crank will work you to death. My dad use to tell me to keep turning, I'll rest for you, so you won't have to stop.😛

In 1 of their FB ads they stole a Kaymon video, so they lost my business right then.

I just got the electric 4-8 frame. I let water soak overnight to help dissolve the honey and it started rusting but did a great job extracting. Just treat it with food safe silicone spray.

Bruce, I bought the 4/8 extractor and use it at slower speeds and it works well w/o shaking. Start at 35 increase to 45 until the sling is nearly done, flip and slowly increase to 65-70, flip and in 2 min you are done. When you put frames in the radial slots, it shakes like mad. I do three med supers at a time, electric is the way to go and this is a dope extractor for the price.

Bruce, I bought that electric Vevor this year, I have used it twice so far and I love it. Very quiet. I also only run 4 at a time and it has no issue. Thanks for the review.

Vevor seems to be the harbor freight of the internet. I've looked at several of their products and I'm tempted to order somethings.

I had a lot of hope for this extractor but after watching your video and reading some of the comments I think I will buy once, cry once and get a Maxant.

After seeing that they used one of Kamon's videos of an extractor that wasn't even theres, I personally wouldn't have one. That really made them look shady. But I also have the money to invest elsewhere. If they work, they work 🤷 I can appreciate a reputable beekeeper making a review for people considering these.

I just bought a hillco 18 frame...best bee supply ive ever bought, made in USA and has a 4/10 year warranty. John will hook you up, very affordable

I mounted mine to a pallet and stood on the pallet that seem to work the best

I had a manual like that before and the handle broke. I could not loxate a handle so it basically became useless. Huge safety issue with the top not fitting on. I think the electric would be good for those with

I have the Vevor 3 frame extractor. There are razor sharp edges along the leg lines. I covered them with electrical tape. Keep an eye on the ball bearing in the hole beneath the spindle, it's easy to lose. I went to a local bicycle shop and bought a few spares. In retrospect, I wish I'd spent a little extra and bought a better built extractor.

I have the manual extractor, works fine. Could be a little more heavy duty but the price is excellent. The gate position is a negative for sure but totally usable.

I’m a new bee keeper this year I got 28 lbs of honey and used my mentors 3 frame Vecor we ran into the same thing you did with deep frames….we put 6 small washers over the bolt and raised it up alittle worked great …. We also bolted it to 4x4s and stood on them. Then he let me crank it 300 turns each side. They were dry when I got done…..lol. Great little machine we also used Pamper Chef spatula to clean the bony off the walls worked great! Hope to get an electric one 2024 as I am building 10 more hives and can’t wait to get my new bees! Good Luck Middle Tennessee 🐝

Thanks Bruce as always. I bought that electric 5-6 weeks ago. I think it was $270 and on my porch in 3-4 days. Took roughly an hour to clean (took out lube grease on ball bearing, replaced with vegetable oil), assemble, and fasten to porch joists (16” centers, 3” drywall screws, between deck boards). Was only doing 12-15 deeps as honey is not my focus (queens and nucs). Just pulling a some for friends and family this round. Uncapped, extracted, and hosed everything down by myself in 2 hours. If I was pulling a few 1000lbs, I’d go bigger, but easily worth the money for small time. Thanks again for all you share! 🐝😃

Thanks for the review! I wish I could share the same …. Purchased an electric extractor from Vevor last year and my bad, did not put it together for about 5 months. No attachment points for the 3rd leg and too late to do anything like call the company. Forced to use with 2 legs and a milk crate. Still better than a manual though! (PS - my son will be going to Alabama in the fall 🫣..so far! ❤️🐝🐝 in Northern IL

I got a really old one hand crank . I want to get a newer electric one but I like the exercise.

Anchoring the extractor makes ALL the difference in the world!!!

I have the 3 frame electric and it does a great job. The legs have razor sharp edges and will cut you. I put pool noodles around mine. ❤️🐝

I looked an looked an thought an thought an finally I decided in my old age I am a tad lazy and I went with the electric one 3 years ago. An I absolutely love the variable speed !! I can run 4 out while I am getting 4 more ready.. 😂 I see you found my one problem I have with mine an that is the drain Spicket !! But I made a work around on mine. Mounted it to 3/4 plywood square with thumb nuts for easy storage an I have 2 solid half cement blocks I lay on the plywood. When done spinning I kick the blocks off an tip the unit to drain. But other than the Spicket? I have no problem an should this one die I will buy another one.. ( not that I would recommend it but them safely switch’s?? ) well let’s just say the unit works the same with or without..BUT if their was anyone else besides me running it? I would probably make sure they work for safety… but this video will help 100’s of small new beekeepers in the future ❤❤❤

I'll say their chicken plucker ($450) lasted all of 30 chickens before blowing. I have the manual extractor as well. It did alright for first extraction.

On the bolts i would put in spring washers to take away any chance of bolts getting loose, have seen people use heat paint stripper guns to uncap the honey on the supers.

Hi Bruce, great reviews. I am still using a 2 frame hand extractor that I got when I started 4 years ago with 2 hives. I guess now with 20 colonies I should upgrade but I have become very efficient with that 2 framer. What would you recommend for 20 to 50 colonies?

I have the electric 3 frame extractor and have no issues. Some frames take a little time to balance but can usually reach top speed. Are you putting the frames in the right way? Since the cells slope up towards the outside of the frames, i always put the bottom of the frame as the leading edge in the extractor. Helps the honey to flow cleanly out of the cells.

I bought a used dandant hand crank came with matching storage tank for 200.00 ... Ended up buying a new electric maxant so I sold dandant for 250.00 and kept the storage tank.. in like 5 minutes on market place.. something to consider is resale American made will hold its value like a Kubota tractor does .. going to cost more up front .. maxant im going to sell its to small and to tight 9 frame think its called .. i expect ill get what I payed for it . That's pretty sweet they just send you couple free extractors .. all your hard work paying off.

I might have this wrong but I think the tangential frames empty fastest when you keep the top bar to the right that way it flings the honey to the open side of the comb and not into the bottom of the cell.

Shouldn't the extractor be washed before used

I heard you didn’t have to spend it so fast juse nice and steady and it comes out just as quickly

Do you use wired comb in your racks?

no doubt you will get a better work out with the hand crank, but after a while, spinning out 100 frames with a hand crank gets tiring lol. so happy i got my 20 frame dadant, will take me a little bit to grow into, but i'd rather not have to keep buying bigger extractors.

Is the honey gate for these extractors below the bottom of the tub? I’m trying to see if the honey will drain completely without tilting the extractor.

I only spin mediums and no matter what, the extractor always vibrates like crazy….almost across the floor. What am I doing wrong?

I have that vevor electric. Its cheap and functional. Ill see how long it last. I screw mine down to a pallet. BTW, you are spinning the wrong direction for the tangential frames. You should spin toward the bottom of the frame. That works better with the slope of the cells.

What's the difference in the black & brown frames? They are both loaded in the same?

I have owned VEVO extractors. Any relation?

Some instructions?

I don't support China. I love my Maxant Extractor.

Chinesium junk. A friend bought a Vevor extractor. Some welds broke and it self-destructed.

Remove the crank handle and clamp on a 1/2" drill motor......"motorized"!!!!

those extractors are pure garbage

Great review..TY..... I have a massive unit that needs a new motor/belt, hardware....Otherwise its solid and hope to fix one day. In the mean time Im buying this unit to keep working.

UPDATES to my previous post. Junk. Bought the small 3 frame unit. When using, it feels like it is going to fall apart. Incredibly light frame and useless legs. The outlet is 1" above the floor of the tank. Stupid design beyond comprehension. For those of you who are wondering WhyTF did I buy it? Good Question. My main extractor needs a new motor and pully. Bought this POS for 175$ used. DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY Junk
