Verified Purchase

The compost tumbler requires assembly. Plan a day!

After all the parts are assembled, we are making some rich soil. We are glad to have a tumbler to put our scraps, leaves, grass clippings in and also this looks nice.

So far, so good!

After a lot of research on tumbling composters, I chose this make and model and Sam's had the best price. Assembly took a lot more time than I expected (4 hours), but I am happy with the results.

Love the large size bins!

Loving this tumbling compost bin so far. It is bigger than most which is what I wanted and is easy to tumble. Sturdy frame-work too. It did take 2 people and more time than expected to put it together but it works wonderfully!

Metal parts failed

We bought this a few years ago and it worked great until a few days ago when it collapsed and the tube the barrels rotate on collapsed. All of the metal parts have significant rust on them and I have been using wd 40 on them since the beginning. The plastic parts are in fair condition and if the metal parts are available I think I could fix it

Do not buy!!!

This product is drop shipped by another company, when I received mine it was wrapped like a mummy in tape to cover all the holes in the worn out box. The company ( UnbeatableSale Inc.). Has a terrible return policy and it cost me 109.00 dollars to return this product. I never opened the box because it was in such bad shape and I could tell it wasn't fedex because of how the box was repaired. Why did I return it? Principle, a product in such bad shape obviously opened and returned before should never be shipped to another customer again. Oh and it has been a month since I returned it verified by fedex and still no refund.

Excellent support

I bought these several years ago and they worked quite well for some time. Then the closing mechanism started to rust and made the doors hard to open and close. I sprayed them with WD40, which helped for a short time until they quit functioning all together. It was then that I called the company to find out if the parts could be ordered. I was sure that there was no warranty left and was prepared to pay for thr parts. I was told that the parts would be replaced, no charge. This is what I call service and I deeply appreciate it. A company that stands by its product is rare and aside from the door mechanism it’s a great product that works. Now with the replacement of the mechanism this is completely a great product.

Excellent customer service

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

Worked great but rusted out

We bought this compost Tumbler for my wife on her birthday four years ago. It has been great and so easy to turn, however, the rust has been building up on the hinges and inside latches and getting harder and harder to open. Recently, the back hinges on one of the barrels rusted out and broke off, rendering the unit unable to be used. The handles have been rusting and harder to use but with a spray have been able to open it. It is a shame only one tumbler works now since we can't latch the other lid. Disappointed it did not last longer.

Unable to open one compost tumbler

Hi, I got my dual compost tumbler couple of years ago and love the way I am able to recycle my kitchen wastes. Recently I am having trouble opening one of my bins. I know the interiors are rusted and when the same happened last time we were able to open after oil lubrication. No luck this time, have been greasing it with oil but no luck.

Impressive construction

Picked this up last weekend and was totally impressed. My old composter was all plastic and collapsed under its own weight. This unit is built to last and sturdily constructed. The internal venting system should work well and it tumbles easily to mix the compost well. Told everyone at work about it and a couple of them are considering purchasing one as well.
