SuperHandy Chicken Plucker 1HP 120VAC - Electric Stainless Steel Poultry Processing Machine with 92 Soft Fingers, 20" Drum, GFCI Safety & Waterproof Design, Transport Wheels

Works well. First one I've used so I can't compare it to anything else, but it definitely get the job done. It's well made, but the only thing I'd like to see is a foot pedal to activate it. The on/off switch is underneath it and would be better accessible if it was a foot pedal. Other than that it's a solid purchase and I'd definitely recommend.

Thing is awesome. I love it works well.

We bought this to process chickens on our homestead. It was pretty easy to assemble. It is pretty heavy but has wheels to roll it where it needs to go. To be honest, a plucker is not a cheap item but it is so nice to have. It does the job well. It does not come apart for cleaning but we found it drains pretty good. There is just a shoot down at the bottom where all the feathers come out. I just gathered them up and put them in the compost. Glad we have it and look forward to more processing of our homegrown meat.

I have been raising meat chickens and turkeys for about 12 years and processing my own, I have cleaned over 2,000 birds on a home made whizbang type plucker that would do chickens and turkeys, until a tree fell on my barn and took it out. I looked at buying a commercial one that you would find on a poultry site but didn't want to spend the money for one. I figured that a home made one did pretty well, so this one should be as good or better and about the same price that it would take me to repair my old one. I wanted to clean a few birds and see how well it would do before I made this review with about 150 birds cleaned. So here are my pro's and con's of the unit and some modification that I will be doing for next year. Pro's - Wheels are nice to move around. - Bottom section seems very sturdy and strong. - easy to clean. - simple to put together. - worked well for 5# chickens. I only do one bird at a time. Con's - will not clean turkeys! Was able to do a 13# bird by removing feet, wing and tail feather and neck but not very well. - power cord is to short. -GFCI plug will trip often if using an extention cord, and having to reset. - on/off switch is at the bottom of the unit. - need more plucking fingers. Mods for next year - Add more plucking fingers. -relocate on/off switch to top of unit. - adding water spray lines. - change out power cord. longer and no GFCI. I hope this helps!!

This Chicken Plucker is wonderful. This is first time I bought, and the item is top quality plucking chicken. The item is very sturdy and is well made from quality materials. The rubbers are safe and not have to worry about it will cut/scratch your fingers or hands. It plucks the chicken so fast and so clean that you cannot believe it. The only thing I wish it has is the handle attached so is easily to lift and pull/push. Also, it would be nice to have a place for the hose for water, so you don't have to stand there and hold the hose for the water. Price wise, is good because how it plucks the chicken so clean. Very happy with the product.

Was dead the second time I took it out. This thing was easy to put together and it worked great, the first time. I will say the design of switch right beneath where wet feathers come pouring out isn’t the smartest, but we just started unplugging from cord instead of using switch to avoid the awkwardness. Unfortunately, the electrical box let water in and corroded everything, so now it’s a dead weight. An EXPENSIVE dead weight. It’s made to be rinsed with water, so this is extremely irritating. Customer service routed to a voicemail and I did not get a return call and no help. What I DID have to do was pluck 20 birds by hand unexpectedly, not fun! Very disappointed.

Built extremely well and works as good as the Whizbang home-built version that was so popular a few years ago. I've used both and honestly would have just bought this if I could have back then for all the labor it saved me. 13 seconds in this and chickens were ready for processing. Takes a little while to get feathers out when cleaning, but that comes with the territory (and it takes just as long as the Whizbang).

If you've ever plucked a chicken by hand, you will know that is the worst part of the entire process. This takes a 10 minute task down to 15 seconds. Works very well as described so can't add much more to why you need this. However, I would add some considerations and things to watch out for. 1) Make sure your scalding water is ~150. Keep the chicken in there until the wing feathers are easy to pull out 2) The power switch is in a rough spot, below the drum. Not the easiest to turn on the machine while holding the bird 3) Ensure you have water close by to run water over the chicken as it is tossed around the machine. If working alone, I have put the hose on top of a ladder pointed down toward the drum so I can turn on after the machine is on, with one hand 4) Run until clean, turn off power, and then rinse off feathers with water that are stuck to the fingers. As others have mentioned - the power cord is rather small and runs past where the wet feathers come out. It seems very easy that water can get to where you plug in the power to the extension cord. What I have done is wrap a plastic bag around where the power is connected and to cover/tape it up. A bit of extra work up front but better safe than sorry. I would also recommend getting a plastic bucket that fits snugly between ground and feather chute. Drill holes throughout the bucket so feathers can drain out water in between birds without having an overly gloppy feathery mess.

I was very happy with this machine, we do remove the feet as they get stuck in the fingers. We tried 2 at a time but one at a time was about 30 seconds to a very clean pluck. Kept water flowing and did plug up a couple times. 31, 8>10 lbs birds in under 2 hrs. This machine made the butcher day fast and clean. Great purchase for an affordable price, the machine is as described.

Worked flawless and is well made. Well worth the money. We were able to process 40 chickens in under 3 hours thanks to this plucker.

Compre el Producto el 28 de julio pero me llego incompleto (la base color naranja) el producto lo volvi a comprar por favor su apoyo para que me lleguen completo

The product came used had scratches on it and some feathers inside the drum. But it does work pretty good, think the moter could be a bit stronger. Clean up is easy

Very happy with this chicken plucker. Built durable, good quality! Easy to operate, and did a great job on fully removing all feathers. Easily did 2 birds at a time quickly. Definitely recommend this if you are looking.
