This is a good idea - can people chime in with what they did?
I am a member of a local club, so i have borrowed their extractor and a stainless sink/uncapper station which is *really* handy for me! (unfortunately is looks like i 'jumped the gun' and the 6 frames i thought would be ready by this week are not nearly ready on the back, one side is good to go, but too many uncapped on the reverse! Oh well, live and learn...)
Who has bought the cheapy cheapy Chinese made extractors and love them? Who bought them and they only lasted one season? - due to upgrading or poor equipment??
Not interested in "this brand is bad - dont buy it", but would love some "i bought this and its fantastic" or even better "i should have done this"
Who uses a manual extractor and doesnt care? who upgraded to an electric and would never go back?
I only have a couple hives, so not looking at commercial size so much, but you smaller beek's must have experience to teach us new-bee's!
Cheers
