Have had the Double Tumblers for about ten years and found them hold up well even on the extreme N/W corner of California with heavy rain and 'salt spray' from the Pacific Ocean. After 8-10 years the hinges did finally rust and 'lock-up' and the bands around the bins rusted and broke, however a call to Lifetime to order parts was easy with the parts being sent quickly and at no charge! Customer Service is EXCELLENT! AS IS THE PRODUCT!

I have purchased, assembled and used the double rotating composter (100 Gallon) for about 4 months. The unit works very well and the compost matures quickly. I recommend this product very much. I am giving the product a rating of 4 rather than 5 star only because of the difficult assemble process. It is difficult to assemble, even with 2 people. Having said that, the final assembled product works very well.

I bought my bin 4 years ago and it has worked very well. I love having one left to compost while the other is added to. My hinge recently rusted and would not open and Lifetime sent me 2 replacements and a full set of nuts and bolts, no hassles. It arrived to Australia in less than a week. I was impressed.

Just finished assembling my new Lifetime compost tumbler. The materials are substantial. Thick plastic (no rust) and heavy gauge steel leg assembly. The only suggestion I would have is to add another couple of spacers in between the two barrels. There is too much movement, IMHO. I will be back to review in several months on the actual performance of the tumbler. Based on materials and construction alone, I would not hesitate to purchase another one.

I bought this item 4 years ago and it is still in great condition. The bins are in constant use and hold up exceptionally well in the AZ desert. Recently one of the hinges on one of the bins was badly rusted & would no longer allow the bin to be opened. I contacted Lifetime to inquire about replacement hinges. I was extremely surprised and pleased that they sent me two replacement hinges at no cost and no shipping fee as a one-time courtesy! The hinges arrived promptly, was installed and the bin is back to perfect working order. Thank you so much for your excellent and responsive customer service excellence!

I bought one of these many years ago and it has held up great except that one of the hinges rusted out this year. My fault because I should have kept it oiled. I contacted Customer Service and Justin sent me new hinges absolutely free of charge. I have never seen a company that stands behind it's products like Lifetime. These are great composters because it is so easy to turn your compost every few weeks - a must if you want to produce good compost. Thanks Justin for your help!

We have had these for a little over a year now. We have yet to get useful “dirt” from them. Some of that may be our own fault, but in the past we have never had issues with composting. Guessing our struggle is more about not being in-ground throwing us for a loop on the proper blend. We usually do nothing more than fruit/veggie scraps, some leaves, and maybe a bit of grass clippings from time. Our biggest complaint is the hardware. There is no way these are going to last past maybe three years. 1.5 years in and the paint is faded, paint is blistering, and rust is all over the place. These pictures are from this summer. The issues have only gotten worse the past two months.

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.

I bought this for my wife and her garden thinking that it would be a great investment (which I believe it will be), however, this is NOT a product for beginners to try and assemble! The first part of the assembly is pretty straight forward. When you get to the part where you attach the legs to the composter bins, the difficulty begins. I called Lifetime Customer Service when I ran into a roadblock and the representative that I spoke with had actually assembled this item himself! I was shocked and appreciate the training that Lifetime invests in their folks. Anyway, after speaking with him, one of the biggest hurdles was crossed (apparently, there's a slight deviation in manufacturing in China vs. other contractors that make these for Lifetime). Once I got past that point, it was pretty easy to finish assembling the unit. You just have to be careful that you don't put the legs on the wrong side of the unit as wells as how they're attached inside of the barrels or you'll have to take it apart and reverse them. If Lifetime would modify their instruction book and videos (you can find visual assembly instructions on their website as well as YouTube), this product would be much easier to assemble. Overall, it's a great product and will be very useful during our growing season.

I had this Item for a few years but only used it for a year. The hinge on both barrels are rusted shut and cannot be used. I tried opening one side after oiling the hinge but cracked the barrel rendering it useless. I tried looking for the part number so I can order another hinge for the other side but can not find it on Lifetime site. I don't know why it's so hard to get the part as I am sure Lifetime knew that these parts would rust especially if you live near the California coast.
