The Electric Wizard Bean and Pea Sheller is constructed of sleek and durable aluminum which makes it much easier to clean after shelling a bushel basket of beans. Measuring approximately 16" in length and 9" tall (weight about 15 lbs), this pea sheller is small enough to store easily and move from kitchen counter, to dining room table to patio without much effort. Yet its powerful 1/15 horsepower motor will make quick work of pea shelling. Plug into any outlet and you are ready to get to work. The shelling rollers have grooves that allow them to grip the bean pods and pull them through with little or no slipping. The drive belt is totally enclosed for safe operation and a cooling fan helps to prevent overheating of the motor.

It can also handle small Crowder peas, and even Lima or butter beans. The key is to pick the beans when fully ripe (not green), let them "rest" for 12-24 hours, rinse them and then run them through the machine.
