Th**nes Budget Extractor

[Cricketfool]

Has anyone got/used/seen Th**nes budget extractor? They want £140 for extractor, 3 small buckets, 1x30 lb bucket with valve and double strainer. Was wondering about getting one with a beekeeping friend and sharing it - we have 1 hive each.

I'd be somewhat wary of something that cheap with regards quality.

My experience has been that despite starting small, you will find that your hobby inevitably expands and something that might have been adequate (just) becomes a pain in the rear end.

Extraction in a good year fairly soon becomes a chore, and I would save your money for something that not only will last, but also has spare capacity for possible use in the future. Being able to motorise it as well would be an advantage.
