Exaco Trading Company Exaco Mr.Spin Compost Tumbler - 160 Liters / 43 Gallon, Dual Chamber Composter On Two-Leg Stand,Green/Black

Aunque apreté muy bien cada tornillo, se le sale un poco de tierra cada vez que la giro. También es difícil girarla sobre todo conforme la vas llenando más. Las cubiertas de las puertas se salen si no la abres con cuidado ya que no tienen un tope.

Just what I needed. Bigger than expected but not a complaint. It was not difficult to assemble but it did take quite a bit of time due to the number of screws and pieces. These are metal by the way versus cheap plastic that ends up breaking. It probably took me about an hour to assemble. Good quality and I really like the two chambers so that you can let one side "cook" but have a place to put your compost materials while you wait. Very easy to spin and I like that it is up off the ground. I have not yet had a finished batch and since it is hard to find a warm spot where I live (and it is winter) I am not sure how long it will take but it seems to be progressing nicely with a little water needed occasionally to keep things moist. No odor detected so far either.

Easy to assemble and components seem sturdy. Have been using for several months and even with both sides being almost full, it tumbles very easily. Compared to the rolling composter that sits on rollers at ground level (which we had originally purchased earlier this year), this one is easier to spin, and also less messy since there will be some compost tea that leaks out during tumbling. This composter has plenty of areas to grip while spinning, and being elevated off the ground, it doesn't collect as much compost tea residue on the tumbler compared to our rolling composter. Only (slightly) negative comment is that the access is a little small, so it can get a little messy if you aren't careful as you fill it up, and you need to cut up cardboard or break branches into fairly small pieces to make sure it fits. But not much one can do about that given the size and design. Very happy with this purchase.

This works well. Assembly was a little tricky but the directions were very good, except I'd recommend putting the axle in when you install the divider (between compartments) as the axle helps hold the divider in place during the rest of assembly, and it is easier to insert the axle before the bin is completely enclosed.The construction seems solid and durable and it looks good. It was a little smaller than I expected, but it is actually a good size--any larger and it would be very difficult to spin when nearly full due to the weight/momentum. The biggest drawback is the tiny openings where the green panels slide open to add raw compostable stuff--I have a small kitchen compost container but can't dump it in the tumbler without spilling some. It was even harder when I tried to add leaves from the yard. To be fair, it is a trade-off--bigger doors would make it less sturdy and more leaky.Al in all, I'm happy and it is a good value.

I like that the unit has two separate compartments so one can start a new process while the first one is composting. The turning function is cool. It took me and my 7 yr old abt 40 mins to put it together. Really easy but takes time since there are lits of nits and bolts you need to put in.The main issue is a design flaw— the lids are very small making it difficult to transfer the stuff from even a small container into the bin. Also one of the screws was faulty and didnt fit in its place so the leg is wobbly. I guess I should have asked for a replacement screw. Also, as featured in the pic this is a pretty unattractive piece (like your garbage can) so I am keeping it in a less visible area in the backyard.
