Looks very similar to most tangential extractors in this price range. The mechanism does look more substantial than the one I bought from Simon the Beekeeper 6 years ago.

One thing I found is that these are made in China and cater for a global market that uses mainly Langstroth frames. The longer lugs on national frames may drag in the honey before it drains out. I had to attach spacers on mine to raise the frames as the cage was fixed to the shaft and not adjustable.

Sounds more like ordinary frame spacers.

I have one and found it generally excellent for the price.

But why buy it there when it's cheaper direct?

Like all extractors, it could be improved and I've modified mine, for example to take 8 super frames.
