The gears going faulty mid-extraction yesterday helped persuade my wife that returning this thing and buying an electric extractor is the way to go. She's on board now.NigelP wrote: ↑29 Apr 2020, 08:59Best I can offer is spend as much as you can and go tangential and electric ASAP.....at first extracting honey is exciting and new but it rapidly becomes a chore with many bottlenecks.
Think of each jar 12 oz of honey as £5 in your pocket then this basic one will set you back 100 jars or in real terms about 3 supers of honey.

The one you link is a top contender Nigel. Just before I take the plunge - what is everyone's experience with radial extractors? To someone who has little experience with extractors, not having to turn frames around sounds very appealing.
What extractors do forum members have? Frame capacity, manual/electric, radial/tangential?
