Awesome build quality, instructions weren't hard to follow.
Did a test run with 2 empty deep frames and it was very loud and off balance.
I cranked as hard as i could for about 2 minutes flipped the frames around another 2 minutes.
Price
Best price i found for a 4 deep frame spinner.
I ordered a bag of 10, 3/8 bearings for about $6 on amazon.
It did what we needed it to do at an affordable price.
Assembled easily - legs could be a bit more sturdy, but for the price, i'm not complaining.
Shipping
I emailed the manufacturer, and they quickly responded and shipped a replacement basket.
Was missing a gasket, called company and they shipped one out the same day.
After sending video of the basket and shaft assembly, they sent a new one.
Both of the kids came broken, but i contacted vivo directly with pictures and they sent replacements out very quickly.
Packaging/appearance
I was pleasantly surprised when i opened the box for this honey extractor, it was much better than i expected.
The hardware came in a plastic bag that had a small hole through which a single bolt fell into the box.
After opening the second box the first thing i came across was a warning about sharp edges.
The extractor came very well packaged in a double box.

When you crank it is very smooth and easy to crank it seems like the gears are quite substantial

I recently had a bad experience receiving another honey extractor and that experience has prompted me to write this review
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
From the beginning of receipt the vivo extractor was head and toes above the previous extractor i received

Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
If youve read many reviews of honey extractors you will find this is a common complaint but i was pleased to see another warning from the manuf and the sharp edges were not nearly as bad as they were on the other extractor i had received
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The honey gate is not easy to install mostly because the honey gate nut and flange are straight and the drum is curved but this is a problem with most 2 and 3 frame extractors
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It would be great if the threaded throat on the honey gate could be 14 longer but i doubt the extractor manuf made the honey gate
