Loved it until the hinge broke

The inner closing mechanism rusted. Yesterday when I opened the one side the hinge snapped and the lid broke off. Now I only have one drum that works. Is there anyway the hinge can be replaced?

Great product and great service

Fantastic product. I have had this composter for several years. I had some trouble with several of the parts rusting and the company immediately sent me replacement parts at no cost. Excellent service.

Sturdy and Easy to Use.

I bought this unit in August, 2012. Our temperatures can range from -30 to almost 100. It has held up throughout these temperatures and, on occasion, from overfilling.

Spinning composter great but does rust over time.

I have this model and it worked great for a couple of years but unfortunately now the gears are rusting and one of the doors gears are completely seized up so that one side is unusable.

Compost tumbler

Have been waiting for replacement covers that never happened. Call to lifetime resulted in company sending me brand new complete tumblers. Great customer service. High five. Cannot go wrong with Lifetime

Good value and quality

Not easy to put together but sturdy once completed. Allow plenty of time to put barrels together. I have just started composting in it but like the way it works.

No Hassle Repair Parts

I purchased this tumbler a few years back and have loved its performance. When the rotator pin broke, your company replaced it with new parts quickly. Thanks and we will remember to buy Lifetime products again.

reply from Customer Serivce

I apologize for the trouble that you are having with your composter. We have since began using a more rust resistant paint on the locking mechanism. This prevents rust more efficantly than before. Also the locking pins are easily replaced if you call customer service at 1-800-225-3865.
