E8 Honey Extractor - 8 Frame Hand Crank

Not too shabby. 4 and 7/8 stars.

The extractor arrived rather fast. Less than a week. Extractor was packaged well with foam and cardboard. Went together very easily. About 15-20 minutes. Mine took a little longer because I filmed an unboxing, assembly, review video for my YouTube channel (EastTexasBackwoodsBees). It operates fantastic. Though I have not extracted yet. I only had a couple very small issues. Non of which are deal-breakers by any stretch. A plastic guide/stop on the free floating cover came off in transit. Easy fix. My basket had a bent wire. Just one and an easy fix. And a few welds inside the tank had burrs. But it's a solid unit. It has the features I was looking for while not being outrageously expensive like some others. Or cheaply made like some others that are imported. This is replacing my old extractor that was made in the 50's that I bought for $75, replaced a bearing and got 12 years of great memories. It was lost with all of my surplus boxes and frames in a fire that started in my neighbors yard and spread to my storage shed. I it seems like a solid unit and I look forward to decades of memories with it.

Extractor

Everything worked great. Only suggestion, is to package bolts, washer in a stronger bag. There was a hole in it and they were scattered and some missing

My first extractor

I am so blessed to have found Hillco. This extractor we’ll meet my current needs and then some. Plus I have the ability to add the electric power unit in future. Thanks Hillco for your quality.
