I’m really excited for you! I hope you pull a ton of honey with it. Make sure you anchor it somehow and go slow when you spin it with full frames in it. It will have a wobble but be patient because it works great.

Me too! That video should be out next week. Have to use it to extract the honey first. LOL

You’re welcome. If you get one I hope it works as well for you as it did for me. I also have a video putting it to the test and it worked great.

I agree completely! It did a great job for us this year and I posted a video of it in action. All of us were really impressed.Fast and very portable.

Thanks for the added tip Michael. We're all here to help each other and that sounds like a great idea. I appreciate your feedback and I hope you watch the video where we put this machine to use. It worked like a charm and in these days or recession, I continue to thing that this machine is a great value for the money...I just caution everyone to take care around the sharp edges. God Bless and take care.

That’s excellent! You’re really getting your money’s worth out of it. I agree about the crank nut. You definitely need to make sure it stays tight. I was also worried about putting a bucket under it and was able to get the measurements online before I bought mine. I was reasonably sure it would fit with a double screen strainer. Please watch my follow up video to this one to see how well it worked for my friends and I. I bolted it to a pallet for extra stability and also height and it worked really well. God bless you my friend. Bee well and I hope to hear from you again soon.

How about corrosion? Does it still looks like new?

@@vytbbb7146 It's all stainless steel, so no corrosion. However the acrylic lids on the top have yellowed some but otherwise still works as good as the day I got it! Just spun out a few frames with it last week

Mine is still in perfect condition. I’ve extracted honey with mine twice so far this year and it’s awesome. So easy to take apart and clean and put away in a small space.

I totally agree. Great little machine and worth every penny.

That’s awesome! That’s exactly what I experienced too. I hope you keep watching the channel. We have really interesting things happening that will be posted very soon.

I’m sorry to hear about your issue. It shouldn’t be too difficult to tap new threads and then you could replace the bolt and you should be in good shape. I was just back in the USA for two months and my friends and I really put this extractor to work and it still works remarkably well. Thank you for the comment. God bless you and bee well.

JB, thank you for the comment. I’m glad you liked the unboxing video and review. Have you gotten your extractor yet? Since putting that video out I’ve moved to the Philippines to turn my passion for bees into a full time career. Before I left though I uploaded a follow up video to this one. New Beekeepers First Honey Harvest. We ran several supers of honey through it and it did a really good job. I hope you’ll check it out and let me know what you think. God bless you my friend. I feel blessed to have you watching and for your kind words. Good luck to you in everything you do. I hope to hear from you again soon.

​@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Greetings to you, brother, half way across the world! Thanks for the great reply! I have seen that you moved to the Philippines, and got a good chuckle when I read the title of one of your initial YT posts after you'd arrived there....something about how "almost nothing works" as you've come to expect (here stateside). I laughed, and laughed as I read that, thinking: "Welcome to my world, brother!" because I grew up with Mayan Indians in the Highlands of Chiapas not long after the Pan American Hwy had been completed through the Highlands, and the language, the culture, everything was still frozen in time in the 16th century....which, at the time, as a Quaker farm boy of missionary parents was completely astonishing to me, and that sense of awe for those half dozen years there grows within me as time goes on, as I look back at those myriad of experiences that helped to shape the man I would one day grow up to be. You must feel a little like Alice, after having fallen down the "rabbit hole"! Truly, I am happy for you, because you will grow emotionally, spiritually, culturally, and in every way from these new experiences, and soon, you will see the world through "new eyes", with a newfound appreciation for many, many things which for so long you'd taken for granted. Truly. Truly, I am happy for you, and I pray for you as you move through the process of getting acclimated to your new world paradigm!! You and your beautiful family are in my thoughts and prayers, brother! Truly. God bless!!! : )

Wow! What a great story! Thank you for sharing that. I couldn’t agree with you more. Living abroad is a wonderful way to learn and grow. Even though I’ve been vacationing here for the past 20 years it can’t compare to being here full time. I envy your childhood. It must have been incredible. I’m really glad you got a laugh from my video. I show it all here. My good days and bad. No selective editing to make it all look wonderful. I try to stay positive and upbeat but sometimes things just don’t go to plan. That’s life. Take care brother. I appreciate the prayers and will send more your way as well. I hope you’ll keep the comments coming. I’m curious to hear about your success in beekeeping too.

Craig, You can do it!! No joke. Bees are a wonderful hobby and you have so many resources and such a great climate for beekeeping. I know you'll do well with it. If you're also a hobby woodworker you can even make all your own equipment before you get started. That's what I did. Everything in my apiary is homemade. I'm cheap!! Watch my other videos and you'll figure that out fast. LOL God Bless you my friend. Keep me updated on your progress into the hobby.

Depending on your disability you may want to look at a horizontal hive like a long lang or layens. First time you try lifting a full super it's a shock.

Excellent point! A horizontal hive is a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion.

@@beekeepinginparadise5935 no problem. I've got a bad knee and it makes me nervous sometimes when lifting boxes. I've been making some layens equipment but unless some carpentry is another hobby you won't really find equipment easily.

I think beekeeping and woodworking really are two hobbies that go well together. In the USA we can build equipment all winter and keep bees in the summer…that’s what I used to do. I made about 1500 medium frames and shipped them over here last year. I’ve never had to buy a single piece of beekeeping woodenware. I miss my cabinet saw and jointer already.

I believe they do. Vevor is a Chinese company and I think you can find these on Lazada. I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s a great little extractor. I hope to hear from you again soon. Check out the honey harvest video where I put that extractor to the test.

Great tip. Definitely worth a shot. Thank you for the suggestion. If I go back to Indiana during a harvest time I’ll have to try that out.

Awesome Peg. Did you watch this video before making your decision to buy? If so, I think that classifies me as an internet influencer. LOL. I'm sorry yours came with that chip out of it. You're doing great for your second year! Keep it up! By all means, make sure you bolt it down to something heavy and plan to stand on it and don't try to crank it too fast. Slow and steady! There is enough force in there to get all your honey out fast even if it's not spinning at top speed with all your might. Welcome to the channel. I hope you're going to watch more of my videos like the one where we put the extractor to the test. Also, please note that I've moved to the Philippines and the videos are getting a lot more interesting. Still going to do a lot with bees, just doing it in paradise now. God Bless

Lol! So I’ve been told a time or two but hey this video is from a year ago when I was brand new to KZfaq. I think I’ve gotten a little better in the past year. I hope you’ll watch some of the newer videos I’ve made since moving to the Philippines. Things sure are different over there. God bless and thanks for the feedback.

It worked really well. I think you found the follow up video. I was really pleased with the performance. Thank you for the comment. God bless you always my friend.

It actually works very well. Please check out my follow up video posted right after this one. My friends and I harvested honey and used this to extract it and we were all shocked at how well it worked and we all agreed that it’s well worth the money for a hobby beekeeper. God bless you my friend!

David, what did you order? Do they have a return policy? I was on Facebook yesterday and it looked like they actually dropped the price of the Vevor 3 frame under $120. Might be worth checking out. I pray you’ll have a wonderful harvest and enjoy the process no matter what you use to extract your honey. God bless.

Good job! That’s what I love about beekeepers. We run into trouble and try to find an inexpensive fix to deal with our situation and get on with the job. Thanks for watching. I hope I earn your continuing viewership. God bless!

@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Mine didn't have hole on the foot legs. THAT MIGHT WORK? BOLTING IT DOWN. I just made a wooden stand to set on and i used bailing wire where the legs bolted to it and tighten down on the wooden stand

If mine didn't have holes in the legs to bolt it down I would have drilled some. Putting lag bolts through the legs into the pallet and then standing on the pallet to give it extra weight worked just fine.

My sister-in-law maybe interested in your knowledge/expertise in beekeeping

Outstanding!! I hope you'll tell her about the channel and ask her to subscribe. Where does your sister-in-law live? I'm not teaching any classes at this point, but anything I learn from keeping bees here in the Philippines will be shared on the channel. God Bless.

Wow! $28? Seriously? What brand is that and are they still in business?

@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Idk the brand? it looks just like YOUR

Thank you again Pia. I have to say that making this video was a lot of fun and putting it to the test and extracting honey with some of my best friends was even more fun. Take care and God Bless you always.

Thanks for taking the time to comment. I hope you’ll check out the follow up video where my friends and I put it through it’s paces. It works very well. God bless you always.

That’s cool. Always nice to find a bargain. When I made this video over a year ago the price I stated was the best I could find. Have to say that a year later and after running many frames and many gallons of honey through it, it works perfectly. No regerts lol.

​@beekeepinginparadise5935 after looking at the price again it's comparable. They are out of stock for the three frame. I looked at the 4 frame, but the one on Amazon was the 2/4 frame. The 2/4 frame is only like a $1 cheaper on Amazon after tax and shipping lol. So my bad. But still I may check into this sense you said it's not so bad.

@bctiger86 that’s great. I don’t think you’ll go wrong if you go bigger or smaller. It’s a basic machine that just does what it’s supposed to do and nothing more. If you’re a hobby beekeeper you’ll be happy with it and happy that you can earn the money back for it in your first year selling honey. Good luck and I hope to hear from you again. Please check out the follow up video when I put it to the test and soon I’ll be posting this year’s harvest with it. Bee well and God bless

@@beekeepinginparadise5935 man you seem cool as hell. I like the chill vibes. You got my subscribe. Can't wait for the video of you using it to harvest.

@bctiger86 oh I totally am, lol. it’s the very next video on my channel… new beekeeper’s first harvest. I taught my new beekeeper buddies how to harvest honey and have frames to put right back in the hive. We tried to crank the extractor way too fast though. Slow and steady is good enough to get the honey out and it won’t wobble. I’m really glad you subscribed. I’m definitely not your normal beekeeping channel. I hope you enjoy and keep in touch to share your own successes with me. I’m interested in what you have going on. What state do you live in and how many colonies do you have? Bee good my friend. Welcome to the channel.

I get what you’re saying. In my defense this was one of my first videos that I ever posted and I made a follow up video putting it to the test. I hope you’ll check it out. The extractor works great and soon I’ll have another video or two where I used it this summer. It’s holding up really well. God bless.

Just between you and me, my wife says that sometimes too so… hahaha! Thanks for watching I hope you’ll watch a few more of the new videos before giving up on me. God bless and bee well.

@Beekeeping In Paradise No disrespect... but these days we are overwhelmed with information.... it's too long and difficult to digest.. one needs to be short, sharp, straight to the point and non-repetitive. ! No wonder your wife takes the same view... You'd be too busy introducing and unwrapping yourself. !

No hard feelings. I’m more into presenting a series of stories and building relationships in long form entertainment with my journey to build a business in the Philippines. I leave the quick product reviews for other content creators. It’s not really my thing. Thanks for checking it out anyway.

Hi Carson. I really appreciate the comment and you watching the video. However, I couldn’t disagree with you more… and for some of the reasons that you mention. Mine is the three frame like yours but I paid way less and I got it brand new. I’ve seen it advertised from Vevor many times in the $125 range. Is it light? Yup. That just means it’s ultra portable and I can put it up when not in use. Are the legs flimsy, a bit, which is why I lag bolted it to a pallet, problem solved for free. Along with the leg issue, I learned that if you crank it slowly it doesn’t wobble nearly as much and it still slings the honey out super fast. When I relax and crank it slow and steady I get great results. As for the spout being above the floor, it still works and when I finish my frames the whole thing is so light it’s no big deal to tip it and get the honey out of the bottom. I’m not saying there aren’t better extractors, obviously there are, but I can be counting my honey profits 10 times faster with this machine than someone who spent a thousand dollars on a machine that does the same thing but with fewer annoyances. So im not disagreeing with your criticisms but for the price, I’ll live with it. Do I prefer my Brushy Mountain 9/3 radial? Yup, but I won’t say a negative word about the Vevor. God bless you and thanks again for the comment.

@@beekeepinginparadise5935 Ty brother for the response...My only real comparison is my main extractor. It is solid! I will give you the light weight attribute, it is easy to move around. PEace
