        Comments about Easy-Open Composter:

        This composter is not made of very durable material. I don't expect it will last long. I bought it because it was inexpensive, but it is so cheaply made that the plastic was cracking as I snapped the sides together. The only thing nice about it is the spring on the lid that makes it easy to open when your hands are full. It's not even very attractive, because I had to use half a roll of duct tape to keep it from falling apart,

        Very easy assembly but I have been really disappointed with this product. Dogs and other animals get into it very easily (in fact, a bird flew out of the hole the other day). I was expecting a better product for [$].

          Comments about Easy-Open Composter:

          I purchased one of these composters last year, and added another this year. Due to the racoons in the neighborhood, I used pavers against the four doors--this prevents the racoons from opening them at night and emptying the bins. So convenient. I added red worms this year to each bin and all yard & household waste is converted even more quickly than before. Great value!

            Comments about Easy-Open Composter:

            When I first tried to put it together I didn't give myself enough room which made it nearly impossible, but once I moved to a larger open space it went together without a problem. Mine has held up to desert high winds, sun and harsh thunderstorms. I was concerened that I might have diffuculty aerating the compost because of my slight size but that has not been a problem. The compost seems to be coming along nicely

              I think the composter works fine except for having to wire the corners together, the plastic fasteners are not strong enough. I had several load of good compost for my garden and would recommend it to others. Since I bought two already.

                Comments about Easy-Open Composter:

                The corners don't fit right and very difficult to put together and keep together. I finally had to use large cable ties on the corners to keep it together. And how are you suppose to use the doors for collecting leaves and keep the compost from coming out of the bin. Some very poor engineering.

                Comments about Easy-Open Composter:

                Product came with broken pieces which they quickly replaced (took 2 times to get all the parts though). Worked great when first starting out but once you actually fill it up or try to aerate it, it falls apart at the corners. Got so fed up that that I actually had to glue the corners. The corners slide together but they cannot handle any type of force.

                Looking to get a refund.
