I bought one of these a year ago. It's been great for my needs. I would buy another one in a heartbeat if it were still available. I selected this option last year so as to avoid the assembly nightmare of the build-it-yourself models, which are not accessible for me. I can't imagine why FCMP evidently discontinued this product.Update: Looks like they're back in stock! I purchased one elsewhere in the meantime.

So easy to rotate a full drum, great for the elderly or anyone who doesn't like using a shovel to turn a pile. the sliding door makes shoveling stuff in easy. Stable metal legs. Aeration holes drain excess fluid which you can put a pan under for compost tea. Black soldier flies are in my area and took to the compost right away, they can get into the bin without modification through the aeration holes, BSFL are great snacks for animals and veracious veggie scrap munchers. The aeration holes are also an easy location to insert a compost thermometer.

There are definitely cheaper options out there. I wasn't sure about paying almost twice what some cost. But now that I have it, it was the right choice. I love that it's not a split barrel like most others, as I have chickens and have a LOT to compost. The dual chamber ones would be too small.I love that it came with the barrell already assembled. The metal parts for the stand were stored inside, and were easy to put together. All together it was a great purchase of a quality product. It should last for many years!!!

Mice ate right through it.They started on one of the little breathing holes which are all the way around this composter. They chewed a hole big enough to fit in and feast away.This plastic is very thick as well, but apparently not thick enough to deter mice.Extremely disappointed!!!!!The set up was easy. The turning of the composter is also easy, however beware when spinning it. Due to the holes you can fling stuff on yourself or fencing, or whatever you have it close to when you add wet ingredients or water.Now that I think of it, the compost juice that runs out of the holes is probably what attracted the mice. I literally have another one sitting right next to this one that has thinner plastic and it hasn't been touched.The sturdiness seems pretty solid when sitting still but can definitely be unstable when it gets heavier and it's being spun.The opening is narrow and the door slides from side to side to open, but needs a little force to get it open.You could probably put something on it to help it glide better if you don't live where raccoons would get in it.

My wife want one of these very bad so I got her one. It works well for what it’s intended for, but she never uses it.. So it works very well if your having a ticket drawing.

I was looking to replace a pair of 50 gal compost bins that I left behind when I moved. This was the closest thing I found to what I had before. These were easy to assemble (pay attention to the part of the instructions where it says "Do NOT assemble the legs like this" [in images]). Empty, they're fairly lightweight, so easy to move around. When I went to use them, there were a couple things I found to be significantly inferior to the units I had before:1 - The opening is small. I used the catch bag on my push mower to catch some grass clippings to put into the bin. The opening is MUCH shorter than the height of the grass-catcher, which meant that I spilled a lot of the clippings on the outside of/around the bin. I can see this becoming even more problematic when the compost is ready to be used, and I want to use a shovel to get it out.2 - There is no lock for the tumbling feature. My old bins had pins to keep them from rotating. Since I was starting with an empty bin, it kept wanting to rotate as I was trying to empty my grass clippings into it (which just made the size of the opening that much more frustrating).
