Comments about Compost Tumbler:
just started composting and this tumbler was my first choice. Very easy to assemble, though since it is dead winter here I have not seen how well it can compost. But have faith it will do well from other reviewers.

Comments about Compost Tumbler:
I am happy to have a composter that is easy to turn. I have had some problems with it. They sent me 3 sets of legs before I finally got the right ones. Now the legs are rusting pretty bad though the composter is a fairly recent purchase. I worry about them collapsing.

Comments about Compost Tumbler:
I needed a composter that didn't take up much space and portable, to move around. This worked perfectly. If it had wheels or just two wheels on one side to roll it on it would be even better. I have a yard where the sun shines at different places and at different times. With this I can move it like a sled to where there is plenty of sun and when guests are over, I can move it to a place of convenience. I found it easy to assemble IF you make sure the metal frame is fastened correctly. If the frame is not even when on the ground, the tumbler will not fit. All I needed to do was switch two of the metal sections to do that once I saw what the problem was, the tumbler went on perfectly. Sturdy plastic and easy to use. I expect my first batch of compost very soon, we get a lot of sun in Los Angeles.

Comments about Compost Tumbler:
If the frame were stiffer, or user advised up front (as in the ads) that a level area (size here) be established, it would be much more effective. As it is the frame is torqued and the drum gets lodged in it and prevents turning. Not good

Comments about Compost Tumbler:
I am taking up gardening as my special interest following retirement. I chose this product because I want to make my own compost to return nutrition to my sad soil.
It seems to be light enough for my aging body to manipulate.
I am surprised at the high cost but believe it will one day pay for itself with money saved on purchased compost.

Comments about Compost Tumbler:
This is a well-built, easy to set up composter. It turns easily and has a good capacity for kitchen and garden scraps, but is too small for yard composting. The only initial problem was the thick plastic moldings where the drum and hatch fit together were not precise, and I had to grind down about 1/2 inch to make the hatch slide easily. In winter, you may need to whap the hatch with a small sledge to crack the ice and move it, but the plastic is tough enough and maleable enough to take it.
