I know the advice is to not buy an extractor when you're a beginner, because it's expensive and takes up space etc but I'm tired of waiting to borrow an extractor from the association for the last 2 weeks... Enough is enough I say. I really want to get the extraction done this weekend.
I only have one super to extract so it's not like a huge amount.
So those who'd purchased an extractor, what are the things to look out for? What to avoid?
Thorne's is out of extractors (the cheaper ones). Ebay has some

Another provider has another:

OR I could potentially build one but I need to look into that better... might turn out more expensive than buying one with all the bits it needs...
Thoughts are most welcome
