Bought this for my wife as a anniversary gift. She absolutely loves it. From the folks at J & L Honey Farm, thank you!
Update:
I'm upgrading my review to 5 stars as after using the Megamax this season I mastered getting the frames in quickly. I no longer see that as a drawback. I still wish the gate was threaded but that's not worth a star. This thing is so balanced, it's sitting on cardboard with the rubber feet. It does not move, every cycle I ran it full speed and at this point I see no reason to bolt it down. If my non Hillco extractor ever bites the dust I'll replace it another Hillco.
Works great 👍 thank you
I really love this extractor I got it late 2022 and Just now in 2023 using it. I don't even have it bolted to the floor like my other extractors, this thing runs really smooth.
I really like the programs and settings.
The tapered bottom is absolutely the best idea ever. I knocked off one star for the following two reasons.
The honey gate works great BTW but I feel it needs to be threaded to give us more options. Doing so may negate some of the tapered bottom effect.
The slots on the inter ring and the back ring some do not line up very well due to what appears to be a slight out of round on one of the two rings, the inter I beleive.
Due to this I have to fiddle with the frames. Most of the time i have to use two hands to put in a frame. It takes longer to simply put in a frame vs any other extractor I've ever used.
With all of this said I still really like this extractor and if I had to buy another one I would definitely look at HillCo again.
Like some others have stated I hope they come out with a uncapper.
Got this extractor for my wife as a Birthday/Anniversary gift. She was so happy being able to load 32 frames and push a button and walk away. The program works great. Very quiet machine. Hope you guys come out with some decapping machines in the future. Thanks, John
