Customer Reviews for VEVOR Compost Bin, 18.5-Gal Small Composting Tumbler, Compact Single Rotating Chamber with Sliding Door and Steel Frame, BPA Free Composter Bin Tumbler for Garden, Kitchen, Yard, Outdoor

It seems sturdy enough and works great. However, the directions are not very clear in some areas. Be prepared for a lot of screws

I got this for kit hen scraps for my garden. I have other homemade ones of 50 gallon metal barrels, but wanted to try something easier. So I got this one. It comes flat packed and requires a decent amount of assembly. The plastic is moderately thick and feels pretty sturdy. Once built, it works just fine. It was do much easier than trying to cut open a metal barrel, then put hinges on it, and make a stand sturdy enough to hold it. This unit is smaller than my homemade ones, but not by much. It holds a lot of compost and was much easier to build.

I like it now that's it's all put together but it wa very difficult to do so and the directions ver not very helpul.

This was surprisingly easy to set up, is very sturdy even in violent wind, and we've already started our compost in it! We bought a compost bin as well to put the completed compost in to age before use. Awesome tumbler

Super cool compost bin. Love the dual chambers and rotating it is super easy and convenient.

I have a semi-instant (overnight) indoor composted which I love. With growing season approaching, I thought I'd try out something bigger. Whether I'm successful or not remains to be seen, but as far as the unit - I believe this has everything one needs to compost successfully. Dual chambers are key if you want ongoing compost abilities. It was pretty easy to assemble. And it's a good size for a small/medium operation.

So far so good with this composting bin. It took us very little time to put this together when it arrived, and so far it seems to be working perfectly. It is right outside our back door and has help up through the rain and snow very well. Definitely a good deal if you wanted to get serious about composting.

This was easy to build and very sturdy plastic construction. This is small enough to tuck in a corner of the yard and still get good results for composting. Looking forward to the good weather and some composting.

I've gotten several items from the maker of this composting tumbler and all have been reasonably good values. This bin is a seemingly good value, as well. It has a large capacity split between two bins, allowing for batches of different \"readiness\" or composition. Well-finished, smooth metal parts and heavy-duty plastics are used in it's construction, though assembly is required. It's straight forward enough one can essentially figure it out on the picture alone. It's going to be fun making compost and seeing the cycle from scrap food back to good food with the family in this year's garden.

Our neighbors now have chickens and we now have a neighborhood coyote. (We think they may be related.) We also have squirrels, mice, chipmunks, song birds, stray cats, wild turkeys, vultures, cottontail rabbits, snakes, and, well you get the picture. We had been composting in raised beds with burlap on top. Within a month of placing new burlap on top our compost, we had huge holes where something(s) chewed threw. It was time for a raised tumbler. I hate to use plastic, but I also don't like the alternative. This plastic is BPA free and claims to be chemical resistant. I'm not sure what that means, but it did have a little bit of smell when I first opened it. The smell was gone by the time I finished assembling it. It took me about 2 hours to assemble this by myself with about 5 minutes of help from my kid because my arms couldn't reach from inside around to outside on the far end of the opening when I was putting in the last screws. Assembly Tips below. Assembly Hints: 1) I accidentally only attached 1 Side A then had to attach the other one when all the sides were finished being attached. I actually think this helped me, though as I was better able to reach the screws and nuts. 2) Have needle nose pliers handy to help hold the nuts in place that go in the centers as you screw in the screws. (See picture.) This is a very tight space and the needle nose can fit in to grip the nut. 3) If you have it, a headlamp is great as it starts to get really dark inside with the black screws and nuts as you get further along in the assembly. 4) A wrench of some kind will be quite handy, especially at the end. 5) The included gloves were a nice gesture, but I found going gloveless helped me feel what I was doing much better and helped to get a better grip on the screws and nuts. The gloves kept slipping so I gave up on using them pretty early. 6) Inserting the center piece half way through--be patient, really line up the arrows! There will be a little gap at the end of each panel.
