EAST OAK Dual Chamber Outdoor Compost Tumbler, 2 × 18.5 Gallon Compost Bin, Rotating Composter with Aeration and Locking System for Garden, Kitchen, Yard

I waited a long time to find a good tumbling composter at a reasonable price. This is the one!It did take two of us to put it together, but I probably could have done it on my own if I wanted. It just would have taken longer and been more frustrating. It went together in less than an hour with a power screw gun & 2 ppl. The directions are a little iffy in places, but it's a pretty intuitive build so that was'nt a problem. **Leave the doors off of it while assembling so that you can put your hand through to the inside to hold the nuts while you attach the last panel.**It's made well and is very sturdy. The metal legs and screws are coated to hold off rust. I'll just need to preemptively spray paint a few areas on the legs where the coating is scratched off. Very happy with the quality at this price point!I've been using it about a month now. Could not be happier. So easy. I really like that it has two compartments so that you can stagger the compost batches. That way, you can have some compost ready to use while you're "cooking" a younger batch in the other compartment. Genius!My kids are getting a kick out of using it. It's out on my back deck, easily accessible from our dining room, so it's very easy to take our little indoor compost bin out and dump it at the end of each day. The kids like spinning it and thankfully, the novelty hasn't worn off yet.I do wonder whether or not it's getting enough aeration. Manufacturer says the air holes plus spinning it regularly provides enough aeration. We'll see. It's definitely giving off some heat in there, which is a good thing & means it definitely doesn't have TOO much aeration. That should mean faster compost.It does leak a little compost juice through whichever air holes are on the bottom at any given time. Not a ton, but expect to hose down the surface you put it on occasionally during the juicy cooking process (Unless you put it on dirt or grass).We're out on the deck every day and there's been no bad smell at all.Getting compost out of it when it's ready might be tricky. I imagine you just remove the door, roll the cylinder until the open door is on the bottom, & let the compost spill out into a bucket. A standard five gallon bucket is just a bit too tall to fit under it, but a big rubber garden/farm bucket with handles fits perfectly (See photo). That's what I always carry dirt in anyway. If I want, I can transfer bucket loads to a wheelbarrow when I need more than a bucket load at one time.Overall, I've got zero complaints! Glad I waited for the right one!

Edit : They really DO read the reviews and respond. I received an email apologizing for the difficulty with construction, providing a link to a new video that demonstrates how to put it together, and an offer of a full refund. Unheard of in my experience. It gives me new confidence in buying their products. And the composter itself continues to function as expected. We've almost filled up one side of it and are looking forward to rich compost this summer.The reviewers saying that it was "easy" appear to be reviewing a different composter. The instructions show lining up the side panels and sliding them together. It is literally impossible to do so, as everything is off by just a centimeter or so -- enough that it cannot possibly slide. I finally got the panels together through brute force and dumb luck. I recommend a rubber mallet and also your own screwdriver. The one supplied is too small and made of soft metal. MAKE SURE THAT THE DOORS SLIDE TO THE OUTSIDE TO OPEN. There is NOTHING in the instructions about this. We just lucked out putting it together. Also, turn it on the side to attach the second part D and upside down to attach the legs. It seems sturdy enough now, but time will tell.

I love it! Easy to assemble (although labeled parts would have made it faster it wasn’t necessary). I assembled it by myself quickly and easily. It seems to be good quality I will come back and edit if that changes. It is as big as I expected, so perfect for my needs.

I really like this tumbling composter. Assembling it will have you generating new swear words but once you get the technique, it comes together quickly. It is compact but very useful. I really appreciate that there are 2 bins. This way, you can constantly generate new compost, having a new bin starting while the other bin nears completion.

This item has tons of screws and bolts which I was aware of by reading the reviews. It took what seemed like forever to assemble. I finally get to the last 2 bolts and screws to mount the bin to the stand and discovered that the bolt on one screw only went up about a mm. I grab the second screw and find that it was smooth with no threading at all. How does this happen???

Was not difficult to put together although it had many screws. This is my first tumbler and it appears very sturdy and convenient for composting. My husband assembled it by himself needed no help. I’m very happy with it’s size and look forward to utilizing it. Delivered within a week.

I went to unpack and set up my compost bin this afternoon, and ai-yi-yie, what a disaster! You have to CONSTRUCT the damned thing yourself, as though you are the factory worker! What a terrible JOKE! The thing has a thousand tiny screws and nuts and bolts, the instructions are written in very poor English, and only a guy who enjoys this kind of challenge would be able to manage this task/project/mess! I am going to have to HIRE someone to come put it together for me! I would NOT buy this again, and I wish to return it and get my money back! I am NOT going to pay someone $50 - $100 to assemble this cheap piece of crap! DO NOT BUY IT!

Seems very nice. Putting it together is a nightmare though. Two of us contorted ourselves on either side of it to get it together. The middle part wouldn’t make it to the track it was supposed to go in at the top, though everything else was in its proper place & tightened down. Hoping it still works Okay.
