I've been using this for many years, for 4 to 10 hives per year. It works fine, but you have to be gentle with it! Crank it up to speed gently and don't force a stop too quickly. Check that all bolts and nuts are tight before using.
Gears stripped out pretty quick. I used it as long as I could as it is hard to justify an expensive one for my meager number of hives. If you have 1-2 hives you might get several years out of it. More than that I would recommend another model.
Bought this unit last year and used it once. Took it out last weekend to process my spring honey and it stripped out the drive gear and broke the frame that holds the frame of comb. Product support says there are no repair parts available except for the gear drive and handle. What a waste of money. Don't throw your money away.
