I enjoyed putting the composter together with my girlfriend. It definitely helps to have two people to put the product together. It took us about 7 hours. It was not a continuous 7 hours, but the construction took place over a period of a week. I am legally blind so there was an excuse not to get it done in 2 hours. I have it setting outside and it is already loaded with composting material. Thanks for the product. My girlfriend was excited due to the fact we did not have any parts left over.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked this composter a lot at first. Now the locking mechanism on both sides is so rusted it's very hard to get them closed completely. I thought I had it closed enough yesterday (but evidently didn't) and and of course it dumped half baked compost all over the place when I turned it. What a mess. I'm going to call the manufacturer to see if their lifetime warranty is, in fact, that. It's only about 5 years old.

We are new owners of the dual drum composter. We will revisit the review section next spring, after it has been tumbling and digesting for the winter, to assess the quality of the soil production and how well the mec. We generate low volumes of household scraps so we generally need to augment with carbon-rich material such as sawdust. We also inoculate when necessary to punch up the biota. We transferred our two heaps to the drums a week ago and have spun them twice. The frame seems like it will last the life of the drums. Our only concern is how much mass this unit can support and contain. Not only would the axial pipe begin to flex in the middle , the drums become impossible to turn.

I bought this to replace my wife's single barrel composter which was falling apart. It was a bit time consuming to put together and is really a 2 person job for some of it. The instructions were fairly clear which is a breath of fresh air for something coming from China! So far it seems very sturdy and well built and my wife is very pleased with it.

I have owned this product for over 4 years. Several internal parts rusted and I inquired about buying replacement parts. I was floored to learn that my product was still under warranty and I would receive all new "guts" so I can get my composter operating again. Very happy with the service.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought my double bin rotating composter about 1yr ago. I absolutely love it! It works well, but my hinges rusted very quickly and broke. My pins that keep the barrel from rotating also broke. I can't rotate it any more because since the hinges broke the tops wont stay on. I am hopeful Lifetime will at least replace the hinges and pins. I can't imagine buying a brand new composter at this point. Please help.

I have 2 of these composters, giving me 4. I like having 2 so you can start one and then work an another when that one is full so you can keep composting. I put i grass clippings, leaves, kitchen scraps and even a little dirt to keep it going. I found that oak leaves don't compost well so brake them up if you use them. I also found that keeping it moist made it work a lot faster. I would add water to it weekly if it got to dry and it would compost a lot faster. Setting it up was a bit of a chore but they are solid and work well. I have used them for a year and half and I got some really good compost. It does take time though. It took me about 6 months. If I had known to keep it moist I could have done it faster. It's been nice not to waste my grass clipping and kitchen scraps and leaves in the garbage. I'm getting good soil and it's rewarding.

Really like the ability to have two rotating chambers that can house compost in different degrees of completion. Rugged construction and the black housing attracts and retains heat. Rear hinge seized after 2 years but customer service is sending new ones, so I'm happy and satisfied.

Metal parts of my rotating composter were rusty and no more usable. I asked for spare parts (thinking by myself that it would be difficult). Customer service has been incredibly kind and efficient, offering a total warranty! I wish we had the same in France. Thank you

I have owned one of these for 10 years and it was the best purchase for my garden by far. This product is amazing and the customer service from lifetime is unmatched. If any of your parts need to be replaced they are exemplary on responding and sending you replacement parts. FYI I have read many reviews about this product stating it won't last or is hard to assemble and this is simply not the case. Extremely easy to assemble and I still have the same double composting bin after 10 plus years. This compost bin is by far the best on the market and worth every cent. Thank you for lifetime for making my organic garden come to life. My fruit trees and vegetables thank you for creating the easiest to use composter on the market that has amazing soil capacity and will keep your back from visiting the chiropractor by having to turn over your compost pile each week.
