Does anyone have any experience with these extractors?
I have a line on a 9/18 stainless, motorized radial model but am not finding many reports of hands-on experience. www.safnatura.com (http://www.safnatura.com/home.html)
Several of the extractors sold here are imported from Italy. It's likely to be a match for one of them. Check Brushy
I know Better Bee imports one of them but thats all I know about them.

Thanks kindly for the replies. :)
Very clean, 100% functional upon inspection. I decided to pick this one up. $800 for a barely used model was deemed acceptable. My first supers of the season are finishing up capping so I'll be able to give it a proper test drive soon. Perhaps I'll do a full review of it and post back here jic there's any current or future interest (for forum's posterity sake, lol).
Dane, That is the extractor that I have. I bought it from Brushy Mtn and paid about that same price as I recall.
I have had no complaints so far. In fact I'm glad I bought it - if I had to crank it by hand I would have given up my bees.
Mine is the 9 frame radial, is that what you bought?

Mine is "9/18" (I can load 18 of my med super frames). I'll have to look for the actual model number on it (if there is one, lol). It's been working great so far... getting more of a work out than I had anticipated for this (1st) season. I have ~ 15 more supers to go (hopefully even more if the nectar keeps flowing).
