When getting powered extractors, the makers either include the motor with the extractor or make a recommendation for the size needed.  Question:  Would a more powerful motor be more economical over a period of years?  I.E. the maker recommends a 3/4 hp motor.  Would a 1 hp motor run more economically in electricity use as to pay for the price difference over  period of a few year?  This might be especially true with a honey pump.
