Review: Heavy Duty and works as advertised - Assembly is more involved than most - This unit is very sturdy, well designed and the drum rotation is very easy even with a heavy load. I have compost "cooking" now and it will go slower in winter but I am seeing good decomposition when I spin and add additional materials. ***Assembly requires a drill*** The assembly is a two person job for the last portions as you have to be able to get the bolts started to engage the plastic retaining nuts. I appreciated the design of the nuts to hold and lock in place once they were engaged as it made the final tightening an easy process. The only thing that caught me unawares was the requirement to drill holes in the plastic pieces for the bolts. This was not an issue for me but it may be some buyers. They provide a drill bit which I tried once and proceeded to throw away and use a quality bit. The one provide was so dull that it actually "walked" on the plastic which already had dimples in the plastic for a guide. ***Read the instructions*** Don't try to save steps and drill all the identical pieces in the same place as one section will be your lid, it does not matter which one, and you do not drill it out or you will have extra holes. Once I realized it had to be drilled I broke from my normal routine and actually read them and saved myself from that frustration. There is an air tube that is on the bottom section of the barrel when you store it with the lid on the top section. I don't know if that is the ideal location or if I should rest it at different locations so time will tell.
Review: Great Compost Tumbler - I really like this compost tumbler but I can see why others would not like it since it does take a little while to assemble. But once all put together, this thing is great. It works perfectly, holds a lot of compost, is easy to use and it even looks cooler than your average compost bins. To put this together in a timely manner you'll need an electric drill, screw driver, two pairs of pliers and socket wrenches. You need to drill the holes for each of the pieces which doesn't take long. I did find the instructions lacking in a few details which I will try to explain here: 1) When you connect all of the large pieces, you use small screws. This kit comes with these little black pieces of plastic. Be sure to use them as the anchors for the screws as you put them in. Trying to go back and do this is time consuming and requires two people (one to hold the black piece and the other to do the screws). 2) On each side of the entire assembly there are two triangular metal plates that are held in place by a set of bolts, washers and nuts. When you put them on by hand everything will be really loose and you'll think you missed something. This is where they socket wrenches come in handy. Using a screwdriver to hold the bolt in place, use the socket wrench to tighten everything. After you do that it really comes together well. 3) The bottom part of the legs are just galvanized steel. I didn't trust that these wouldn't rust so I went ahead and spray painted them with exterior metal spray paint. Since this would be sitting on the ground and would be exposed to the rain, sun and snow I thought this would better preserve them. If you decide to do this you'll want to do it before you start anything else. Overall I really like how this turned out. There's a ton of room in here for a lot of yard and food waste to be converted into really good compost. It's easy to open it up and see how everything is going and determine what you need to add. Another great feature is that it comes with a little locking pin so it will sit still while you fill it or remove compost from it. If you're a little handy and have the patience to take this on I would highly recommend this composter.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How long does it take to produce compost? I seen some composters advertise compost in 14-21 days. Can anyone give me a more realistic estimate? thanks**
A: Margaret, If everything is perfect it's certainly possible to have compost in 3 weeks but it may take a bit longer dependent on several variables.It depends on the composition of your compost, material size, amount of compost in the tumbler, temperature, moisture and how it's tended to. in an ideal situation would be about 2/3 to 3/4 of the tumbler, have the proper proportions of carbon to nitrogen (brown stuff to green stuff, which should be about 30:1), and whatever material has gone into your pile should be broken or chopped into 1" pieces. Let it sit for a couple days and then rotate it every day for a week and then every other day for another 12 days. This way, you can have finished compost in about 20 days.

**Q: Are these pvc and bpa free?**
A: Yes on both accounts.  This product is made from HDPE, which is BPA and PVC free.  In fact, PVC is a different kind of plastic altogether.  Here's some basic info: http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/home/green-living/recycling-symbols-plastics-460321

**Q: How big is the opening to get the materials in and the compost out?**
A: We have yet to get the composter together yet, but I would suggest watching the video on the page where this is advertised.  It shows people adding to and emptying from the composter, so you can get an idea how large the opening is.

**Q: is this compost tumbler made in the U.S.A. or elsewhere (namely china)?**
A: Our paperwork indicates that the compost tumbler that was shipped to us was manufactured in Utah, USA.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Solid composter for the money. 1-person construction is fine for the most part with a little ingenuity.
*by H***R on December 9, 2014*

I've had this composter for a year but only just now got around to assembling it. Another unit I bought at the same time came pre-assembled so I never got around to putting this one together until I needed the space in my garage. The shipping box has plenty of damage, as others have complained about. The grade of cardboard used is very poor. However the parts themselves are very durable. Short of the box getting run over by a truck, a little damage to the cardboard isn't going to hurt your purchase in the least. The composter is not overly difficult to assemble. I did it all myself. More on that later. The instructions say that spinning the screws and stripping the hole a bit is ok. I'd argue that it's actually essential. Keep in mind that you're threading the screw into 2 separate pieces of plastic. If there's a gap between piece 1 and piece 2 when you start threading into piece 2, there will still be a gap when you stop if you don't spin the screw and suck up piece 2 against piece 1. Simple really. Just for experimentation purposes, I left a few easy to reach screws with gaps to see if the plastic nuts would solve the problem later. In about half the cases the plastic nuts sucked the 2 pieces together. In the other half they did not. Just spin your screws and all will be well. I am faced with an insurmountable issue at the moment though. The 3 plastic side pieces have 2 open blowmold holes in each, requiring you to fill them with plastic plugs before use. I have tried everything under the sun short of shaving the plugs down or enlarging the holes to make them fit. I have yet to get a single plug in a blowmold hole yet. This is a crappy design. I spent several years working for a company that made a living off blowmold products. Forcing customers to plug the holes is a lazy cost-cutting measure. The holes should have been plugged before the product left the assembly line. If I were to rate the product on that lone issue, zero stars would be awarded. This is simple laziness. As it stands now I'm giving up on the plugs and reverting instead to a hot glue gun to fill the holes. The only part that would have been useful to have a 2nd person was when putting on the plastic nuts on a few of the screws deep in the container. Other than that one person could do the job alone with ease. I cheated on a few of the plastic nuts. I did all that I could reach which left me with the back screw on each side and the 4 screws in the 2 buckles that hold the first 2 sides together. For all the screws I used the same trick. I did all the screws up to that point first so that the frame was solid and square. Then I backed out the screw I couldn't reach about half way, jammed the plastic nut in place and carefully screwed the screw back into the case, threading into the nut along the way. This worked every time. I have not had the unit in service at this point for any measurable amount of time so I can't yet speak to the durability of the product or if it will rust or not. I fully expect it to rust at some point. It's not stainless steel mind you. Still I find it to be constructed of durable parts so I have high hopes that it will last for several years before I'm forced to rebuild any components. Overall a good purchase with some things that I'll have to fix myself. I'd still recommend this to others. If you want to get someone their first composter I would recommend a different type. This one is great once you're really into composting and have the energy to stick with it. A simple, brainless composter a simple drum composter like this Envirocycle model: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004FVEDAI/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B004FVEDAI&linkCode=as2&tag=justinshoreco-20&linkId=BHGPSPLHYF2KUSVR Gifts to first-time composters will be the Envirocycle unit. After that I'll gift the Lifetime unit.
