Review: So far, so great - As other reviews have said, it's not the easiest thing to put together by yourself, but there's only a limited number of steps that could really benefit from having another set of hands around. Otherwise, it's about on par with any IKEA assembly to put things together. I found the instructions very well laid out and easy to follow. Just pay attention. The composter itself seems very sturdy, and everything went together well. We'll see how it fares over the long term, but I'm impressed with the engineering and the space for stinky kitchen scraps thus far. The only major ding is that the package was barely contained by the time UPS delivered it to our door. The cardboard was either wet at some point, or it was the flimsiest cardboard I've ever seen. Luckily, all the pieces were present. EDIT: 5/12/22 The latches have a bit of rust, but otherwise this beast has been unscathed by several years of sun, rain, snow, and nature. Still works great, spins well, and has produced a ton of compost for me in the interim. Highly recommended.
Review: Looks Like it's Already Doing its Job Very Well! - Five stars except for just a couple of notable problems with assembly instructions. We bought this last fall, assembled the barrels, then left it until just recently. A handy old man and his fairly handy old lady were only modestly challenged. The very large object is engineered to fit into a very compact box, so there are lots of sometimes awkward components. We had no trouble with damaging hardware during construction, as others have. The only real mistake I made was in the assembly of the center axle which cost me an hour or so of frustration. There IS a right and left, so if you can get one leg on but not the other, reverse one side of the axle, the leg will slide on like butter. I've made compost the hard way before, so I have a working knowledge of the process and the construction of a proper compost pile. This unit is not a compost "maker", it is a compost "bin". It won't turn random wet garbage into garden gold without the correct assembly of materials. I've watched countless videos of people chucking their kitchen waste and a few hunks of cardboard in a tumbler (not this one!) and end up with a small pile of maggot infested sewage. In order to ensure successful use of this unit (I haven't really seen any reviews that describe the actual use of the unit, so much as the aggravation of assembly), I read a lot about carbon:nitrogen ratios of ingredients, level of moisture, etc., and ended up finding some free online C:N ratio calculators, that list ratios of various compostables, and let you enter your materials, then showing you the C:N ratio of your mix. According to a calculator, and owning a horse, I started with 20 pounds of fresh, shredded horse manure, 20 pounds of shredded dry fall leaves, barely moistened, and 10 pounds of soybean meal. This filled one barrel. Gave it several, effortless spins. Within 12 hours, the mass has heated up to a respectable 125 degrees. It is well on its way to rapid, aerobic decomposition. We will soon fill the other barrel with the same mix, substituting shredded hay for the leaves. I believe the process will be pretty speedy. The advantages I see are eliminating rodents, excessive moisture (rain) or drying out. It eliminates the backbreaking work of turning a pile by hand. Odors are contained. Spinning a full barrel (50 lbs) takes no strength at all. It looks nice. I acknowledge reports that the hardware rusts but am encouraged by reports of excellent customer service, and am certainly not afraid to replace hardware with stainless steel. And of course, capacity is limited, in the case of someone who has limitless access to compostable materials. Each drum has the capacity to hold 50 pounds of the mix of materials that I am using. From what I understand, one barrel should yield about 15 pounds of finished compost. I think I will enjoy using this unit as I expect it to meet my hopes for an efficient and nicely contained compost factory.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Premium product at a fair premium price.
*by R***S on May 15, 2025*

This premium priced composter is well worth the price. It will last for decades. It's large enough for twigs, yard prunings, lots of weeds (which haven't gone to seed), and kitchen green waste. The color blends well with most yards unlike competitor's offerings. It's very well designed with insulated bins, easy tumbling without a questionable crank system and a very sturdy base even with a heavy load of wet compost. A couple of caveats: though one person can assemble it, it is much better with a helper. YouTube videos will help if you are unclear about some steps. A ratchet wrench and a socket wrench are very helpful. The two hinges are likely to rust shut, you should put (lawn mower lithium etc.) grease on the mechanism and consider repainting the hinge flanges with any exterior house paint before installation. (The MFR will replace the hinges free; just email a photo of the rusted part and a copy of the Amazon online invoice.)
