Fully assembled, heay duty construction. Make sure base is level for easiest turning. On my first batch.

I am a medium sized woman and I am able to turn this easily, even when full. It works quite well if managed properly....no stink, no bugs, no animals. Here in middle TN I am able to get my compost in 6-8 weeks in the summer and around 12 weeks during colder times of the year. I have tried other brands and like this one for the easy to work with yet secure lid. Very toughly build....when I have to move it I just roll it off its turning stand and push it to where I need, no awkward legs to drag around.

Works Great. No parts to break off and it turns easy enough. I liked it so much I bought a second one.

Nice and big, perfect size for my needs.

Ready to go as soon as it arrives, no set up at all. Large capacity drum is a bit harder to roll than I imagined, and the wheels are a bit lame, but overall it works great. What comes out is gold.

I received my replacement tumbler. All bolts are in place and no leaks. It's working perfectly.

The size is great, i like being able to turn it without a crank. Unfortunately it leaks. The screws used to attach the lid to the drum don't allow the lid to close all the way and i lose compost juice. It's also missing a screw. I am returning it for an exchange since it's just what i want. I'll update my review after i get the replacement.

Was shipped to nearby Walmart. Came in broken. They credited my account at store. Did not re-order. Was not impressed with product.
