Composter with Stainless Steel Center Tube, 43 Gallon, Dual Chamber

First, I was worried about putting it together. There were a lot of screws! But it went very smoothly. The size is on the small size which I what I wanted. It rolls so easily. I haven’t gotten any compost yet but I’m thrilled with the size, ease of use, and price.

The media could not be loaded.  It’s a great composting bin, once you figure out the not so good instructions. Took about a hour to assemble because it’s constructed with 58 bolts and nuts and bad instructions. I’m satisfied with the quality and size, it’s a good value.

Seems sturdy enough. The legs are a little wonky but could be strapped across the bottom for a more secure feel. The divider inside the barrel is not structural and can be omitted if desired. The big thing is that there are 56 philips screws with 8mm nuts that hold it together. Do yourself a favor and have a power screwdriver/drill with a low torque setting (not a hammer drill, impact wrench, or impact driver), and an 8mm shallow socket (not a wrench or an adjustable wrench because of clearance). Thank me later. There are 2 nuts that are 10mm to attach the axle to the base. Do what you want with these.

I sent 4 replies for this product to get all the parts with no reply. I was gone out of town and could not send it back now i am stuck with a product that I can not use.

I've been using this Tumbling Composter for a few weeks now, and it's been a mixed experience. Here are my thoughts:Pros:Design: The rotating feature makes it easy to turn the compost, which helps with aeration and speeds up the composting process. The dual-batch design is convenient, allowing you to start a new batch while the first one is still composting.Durability: The stainless steel center tube seems sturdy and should hold up well over time. The overall construction feels solid and reliable.Capacity: With a 43-gallon capacity, it can handle a decent amount of kitchen and garden waste, which is great for my needs.Cons:Assembly: Putting this composter together was a bit of a challenge. The instructions were not very clear, and it took me longer than expected to figure out how everything fit together. Highly recommend more than one person when putting things together.Rotation Mechanism: While the rotating feature is a great idea, it can be quite heavy to turn when both the composter compartments are full. It requires a fair amount of effort, which might be difficult for some users.Price: Considering the issues with assembly and the effort needed to rotate it, I feel that the price is a bit on the high side. There are other composters on the market with similar features at a lower cost.Overall, the TerraTurner Outdoor Tumbling Composter does its job, but it has some drawbacks that prevent me from giving it a higher rating. If you don't mind a bit of a workout and can handle the tricky assembly, it could be a good addition to your gardening tools.

I’m not going to lie, there will be bugs!!! However, it’s very convenient. Especially with it being two sides. It does take a lil muscle power to tumble it once it’s full.

Directions were a bit lacking but after figuring out the assembly sequence, it seems pretty durable. May update later after first batch of compost in complete.

Easy to built and easy to handle.
