2021 Upgraded Tumbling Composter with Compost Thermometer - Dual Chamber Garden Compost Bin(43 Gal, Green)

The frame is easy to assemble, but the included instructions for assembling the drum are as bad as people say. Here's what you need to know: the door panel should be placed at the arrows of the side pieces. The following panels overlap and you should start assembly from the top of the doors. When you get to the last panel, remove the bottom bolts from the door panel because the last panel needs to slide under the door panel. Be sure that the center wheel is seating in it's groove as you assemble each panel. Once assembled, it seems very sturdy and durable and I'm excited to turn my kitchen waste into good, organic planting soil. I have horses on the corner to add organic material to get the composting process started, but you can buy starter medium here on Amazon or your local feed store.

It was easy to assemble even though instructions were vague. I messed up on putting the panels in & had to redo that part, but it wasn’t difficult to do. Tumbler is well made & sturdy. I am satisfied with my purchase.

This composter seems to be sturdy and so far turns easily. Not sure how useful the thermometer will be. The assembly instructions were quite weak I wasn't clear which way to start putting on the panels from the doors, but I guessed correctly. Needed a wrench and the screwdriver to tighten the screws in the stand assembly.

Not sure why everyone says it's a challenge to assemble. I didn't find it difficult at all. Took maybe 30 minutes buy myself. So far tumbler is working great. Can't wait a few more weeks to see some composted results. Looks like it's doing it's job nicely.

The composter is easy to assemble. I installed it in my garden area and the access covers are a decent size.

small barrel. doesn't provide enough air to mixture when barrel turned

Great value composter. Nice and sturdy after assembly. It came with a full set of instructions and the video in the product description was also helpful. Two key assembly tips...1. - Only bolt one side of the screws for the first panel, the second panel tucks under. 2. For the final panel, tuck it UNDER the first panel to screw it together. Took 2 of us about 30 minutes to put it together. One side is already full of material and I like that the included thermometer is giving me a temperature reading. Happy composting!

The fluids leak out of the gaps between panels, and so do maggots and whatever other bugs there are. It is expected, but when you want to go to rotate it, make sure you are wearing work gloves. Otherwise, the size is perfect, the assembly is SUPER easy, {Find someone with long arms to get those last few screws in} and find a good spot away from any doors or windows to set it up. Occasionally you get some smell, but rotation and adding more materials makes that minimal.

The unit arrived ahead of time. I just got into gardening this year and decided to start composting in order to add nutrients to the container garden and my lawn. The setup instructions were not the greatest but easy enough to figure out through trial and error. Did not take long to put together. Right now it is about halfway full of compost. Note, as the unit starts filling up it requires a bit more an effort to start tumbling. I am pleased with the purchase and happy with the value of the product.

Does the job. Sturdy.Port a bit small to scoop up contents comfortably, if you want only a bit. But option is to empty totally and save to another wider mouthed bin.The 2 bins good idea for continuous manufacture.

Only been using it about 2 weeks but I like the size and convenience of having it on the back deck. However I may have to move it because of the flys being attracted to it.

I was a little disappointed by how quickly the center piece moved off from center. and is now not sitting correctly.

Another item that has swore my soul to hell...why are things madenthat are so had to assemble. Tiniest of screws and assembly is the most difficult as you can't just do one panel at a time and forget it.. no you have to take out screw to add the next piece and don't get me started on doing the other side you need occupuss arms....I regret this purchase but I will take another shot at it, what odds my soul is already gone to hell.
