Seems good but I have lots of parts left over

I'm just inside trying to figure out why I have so many parts left over. I think my instructions are missing some pages as the pdf instructions on the website have directions that I don't have in my package.

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.

I bought the composter 3-4 yr ago. Up today happy with it. However, one of the hinges broke due to rust. Also the mechanisms to close the door is rusted and now is difficult to operate. Seems very close to broke and this will make the bin úseles.

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?

Horrible Instructions, Very Difficult to Assemble. Door latch COMPLETELY Failed, CAN'T OPEN!

EXTREMELY difficult to assemble, HORRIBLE instructions. Once assembled it lasted a few years, now the latch on one door is totally stuck. There is no way to open it!

Composter

Like everything about the composter, just wish that there were wheels on it, to make it easier to move because I am 65 and have a hard time moving it to where I need it to be positioned.

The answer to a problem

I have a lot of red ants that love my compost piles. This composter has solved my problem. Pay attention, and use a rubber mallot, and assembley is relatively easy.

Good Product

This is a good product that works well and look nice in the back of the yard. The hinges rusted out after 2 years but one call and no hassle for replacement parts. Great Customer Service
