Even after several years of owning this product, Lifetime sent us the replacement for the hinges for free. We are grateful for having bought this product from a reputable company.

I too had the interior hardware rust on my double rotating compost bin. I was on the phone with the Lifetime customer service representative and he kindly, and quickly agreed to send me all the parts I need to replace the hardware free of charge! It was a great interaction in this day and time where customer service seems to be almost non- exsistent. Thank you!!

It is nearly 5 years since I purchased the Double Bin Composter. Still going strong, and in my climate, we compost year-round. Having two bins in one unit works great. No more stockpiling materials while waiting for a batch to finish. Organic gardening is my great passion and the ability to use my own home made soil amendment from what many people throw away is a good feeling. The unit looks tidy and neat and is easy to use. Thank you, Lifetime for a great garden product!

Not hard to assemble but one leg of the unit was not manufactured properly, causing great difficulty and delay. I had to file down this defect in order to finish the assembly.

Good compost bins. The assembly takes considerably longer than expected, but once that arduous task is complete they work very well

Great composter.I used the product heavily and it was up to the task. Only problem occurs when some of the internal parts began to rust. After a while they totally rusted. I was totally pleased that I was supplied with replacement parts and all I had to do was pay shipping! I am now waiting for those parts and I will update when I receive them.

My husband is an accomplished "DIY" person and still it was a bit of a challenge to get together single-handedly. As far as "tumbling" goes, once it gets a decent amount in the bin it's a beast to spin; I think that may be due to the boxy design. We still do not have a load of compost completed (it has only been 4-6 weeks) so I cannot yet comment on that aspect of it. I do like that my stinky 'garbage' is now contained, and the tumblers aren't an eyesore like my open bin was, so in that respect I'm happy with it. The true test will be if it effectively yields lovely "black gold" as the end result. :)

I was excited to finally get my double- sided composter and felt that two hours with my husband and I assembling it would be well worth the effort. After more that six hours with both of us reading/re-reading the directions and then disassembling pieces that didn't fit, we found a major part (metal aerator) that was improperly drilled from the factory. My husband drilled new holes that properly lined up and we proceeded to finally finish the project. Better directions, possibly a video of assembly and properly drilled holes might have saved us hours of assembly time. Having explained all of that, now that it is completed, it is exactly what I wanted and I can foresee many years ahead of good use. It seems well made, durable and useful.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this composter few years ago and had difficult time to put it together, way too complicated and some parts seem to be low quality which are already breaking. From my personal experience I found this composter poorly designed and very difficult to put together with a short time life quality.

everything works fine for about 4 months and it'll be down hill from there. The door latch is NOT water resistant, so will rust. In my cast, it rusted so bad after 4 months and now I can't even open the door. What's the purpose of having a compost bin that can't open?
