I love this compost bin. Like others, I was looking for a two-compartment compost tumbler that was solidly made, large enough, and easy to use. I bought and returned another one that arrived with broken parts. This one is made in Canada, was well packaged, and had clear directions (and a helpful website to supplement the written/pictorial directions.) It’s also made from recycled materials, another plus. It took about 45 minutes to assemble, the unit is held together with bolts. Be sure to follow the directions. The trickiest part for me was the frame, you want to make sure its assembled so that the 28-inch-long side is at the bottom. Use the letter labels on the pieces and follow the picture. (The first time, I just pushed them together without looking at the directions or labels.) Unlike the other unit I bought, these panels are held together with 6 bolts (vs snap together with cheap pieces). You start assembly at the ‘top’ – again follow directions and make sure the side with 8 holes is at the top. Add each panel until you have secured all 7 and the last panel with a sliding door is last. (The directions show two pieces, but they are already assembled: frame + door = 2). I do highly recommend this bin, happy composting!

This was a little bit of a challenge to put together. Make sure you read the directions before starting as I put the whole thing together before realizing I needed to start at a different location. Once together works great. Turns well and easily. Seals could be a little tighter.

This is a wonderful problem, great value. It’s really easy to put together.. I don’t know why there were so many 1 star reviews saying it was complicated and confusing and hard.. it was totally straightforward and super super easy (especially with 2 people). I will say that the instructions aren’t very descriptive and not real helpful but.. anybody with at least 2 brain cells can figure it out pretty easy, not much room for error. Just go over the instructions real quick to get an idea and you’ll get the picture. With it put together it looks great, super easy to spin when it’s full of stuff. Put it over dirt or grass because it does leak a tiny bit (especially if you’re putting a lot of water heavy kitchen scraps it in). Just be sure to even it out with dry yard scraps and it’s not that big of a deal. Anyways overall great product, will be getting another one if needed.

Needed to find a more accessible compost bin. Our large compost bin will still be used for yard waste, etc but it's too hard to turn the materials deep down. Have been interested in compost tumblers that meet these criteria: made in America or Canada, tough enough for northern winters, discourages wildlife access, large enough to heat up the materials to form compost, easy to fill and empty, not too heavy for a senior to move.This composter is Canadian which I trust much more than a Chinese built unit. Canadians know winter and this composter appears solid.First, ignore the reviews stating this compost tumbler is difficult to put together. 68+ lady here, and it's not hard at all. Just takes time. As others suggest, watch a few videos on the assembly and you are good to go. I used a Phillips screwdriver, pliers.The assembly took about an hour but I took my time. Hint: if you assemble this indoors as I did, use the box to cover your floor/carpet. The support stand width is about 28" across at the bottom, not 24". Be careful to assemble the stand pieces correctly.There are two longer bolts...set these aside as they are for securing the main bar to the stand, one on each end.The black plastic tube covering the main steel bar comes in one piece, not two as shown in some assembly videos. After placing the two end pieces with the separator in-between onto the bar (they flop all over and slide during this step), secure the bar onto the stand with the two longest bolts.Then you are ready to place and attach the panels, one at a time, securing each panel as you go. The company provided a few extra bolts and nuts which is appreciated. Be sure to watch a couple videos as you need to have the end panels with the vents exactly the same, ie be sure the vents are in line. If the vents are not lined up the same, panels assembly will not work.Each panel fits only one way and snaps into place, but you must bolt them into place securely. They snap into place as an assistance with assembly. Be careful to tighten the bolts snug but don't over tighten as you may crack the panel.Panels are secured with the included nuts and bolts. Fit the separation panel into the slots built into the panels as you go. This takes a little work but I did fine even with arthritic hands.One big plus is the large sliding cover. It slides either way and can easily be taken off for access to the interior. This is much better than two separate small covers. Plenty of room to dump a pail of vegetable waste without spillage.Seems like a well built composter. The plastic is heavy duty, thick. More manageable than the giant bin we've used for decades. We don't have bears in our area, just the regular curious wildlife. Likely, the critters won't be interested in the composter. Even if they are, it will take work to chew it or open it.We are looking forward to years of composting with this tumbler.

Es bastante amplio, los materiales son de calidad.Tiene muchas piezas y lleva un tiempo armarlo, no viene con herramientas para ensamblar pero solo se necesita un destornillador y una llave. El ensamblado es bastante fácil.

We've had this composter for 6 weeks now and all our standard compostables are going into it. It is breaking down and getting hot, looking like a rich dark compost soil. We can't believe the weight of garbage this is saving us. Yes, the unit has a lot of parts and takes a while to assemble, but if you take your time it goes together easy. Once built it's sturdy and strong, easy to rotate once full. It hasn't seem to attract any animals, doesn't really smell when closed, and it's nice to keep the food scraps away from rodents, a usual problem with traditional ground based compost piles. Happy with product and even happier it's Canadian made!
