What Our Customers Say

You shouldn't just take our word for it that the EXO machine is a new smart and efficient way to extract honey.

Are you curious about what others who have bought the machine think about it?

We understand! Therefore, we have gathered honest comments from our ambassadors, all of whom have purchased an EXO 150 and used it for a season. Read here about their experience with the EXO press machine:

Simon's Experience:

"My experience with the press after the first season is that it's a really nice machine to work with. It's fast and easy to set up and doesn't require much space. At the same time, you can handle the honey harvest quickly because the machine quickly processes frames. As for cleaning, it's also fast and easy; it takes about 10-15 minutes to disassemble and reassemble."

Pia and Torben's Opinion:

"We have now used the honey press in the 2023 season, pressing approximately 410 kg of honey in total. Already the first time we used it, we experienced a significant reduction in time compared to what we previously spent on extracting honey. Just not having to peel wax from so many frames was a huge relief, so where we used to struggle through the last frames after many hours, we can now handle it in between ½ to ⅓ of the time compared to extraction. We find the presser easy to use, it doesn't make noise and doesn't jump around, but you need to make sure that all holes in side plates are open and not with added wax, otherwise we experience that honey runs with wax out of the machine and into the wax bucket. This machine requires less than half the space of what we previously needed when one peeled and the other loaded extractors with frames, plus the associated dripping on the floor - here it is all done on the table, almost zero drips on the floor, that is cool. Cleaning the machine: We have chosen to dismantle the machine and soak most of it for a couple of hours. Then it is quite easy to clean - takes about a quarter of an hour to dismantle the machine, although I clean the belts by hanging them between a couple of screws on a board, then I rinse them with a small pressure washer, takes almost 3 minutes, our conclusion is that it is a really good machine that is easy to use, reasonably easy to clean and assemble again (once you've tried it a couple of times), it significantly relieves the work, plus the honey tastes significantly better. There's a bit of pollen coming along, even if we choose to filter finely. We don't like to see too much pollen in our honey. My theory is that when it's not aired as powerfully as during extraction, much more taste is preserved. In 2024 we are going to press 3 to 4 times instead of 2 times large portions as before. We avoid lifting so much sealed honey up and down in the apiary by checking hives, and since it's so easy."

Kim's Experience with EXO 150:

"I have now used EXO 150 for a season. It has been pressed four times: spring, summer, late summer, and heather honey. A total of about 700 kg. The press has met my expectations, it is easy to use and when pressed with the two belts, it requires no effort from the beekeeper. It is very quiet and easy to clean."

Roger from Sweden:

"I, like you (John), may have been curious to see how much honey was at the bottom of the buckets we put all the pressed wax in. The buckets stood in the room where we pressed, and there were 18-20 degrees in the room when we were not there. I took all the wax out to be able to photograph the bottom of the buckets, and enclosed you see the result. There is not much left at the bottom after pressing. It should be said that the wax we ran several times through the machine felt very dry without honey. I don't think there's much that can drip from them. This I think is good. I had probably 1 bucket where we had only pressed the wax once through the machine, and here it felt like there was still honey left in the pressed wax, however, it is unclear how much. If I just felt the weight in my hand between one "wax bar" that was only driven once or with a "wax bar" where we had driven several together, it felt like the weight was less in the one where we had pressed several wax bars together.So if you could get more tension on the springs that control how hard you press, I think it would be good for my honey. Maybe it's tough when there is a lot of heather in it, and summer honey would be easier to drain away by itself.

I liked the machine. It went fast to press the honey (even though we pressed a lot of wax bars again). It was a convenient way to get the honey out, and the machine itself takes up very little space, both when you use it and when it needs to be stored."
