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

This thing has alot of screws. Get a power screw driver or ask your friend/neighbor. The instructions want to install it a certain way which i found a tad difficult. In hindsight i think connecting 2/3 panels first then attach the end caps and build the rest from there would probably work better. Just remember to install the splitter by the 5th panel. So far it's been working fine. I hope it really churns out some good compost.

Very sturdy and well built made of hard plastic. I actually love it but gave it 4.5 out of 5 as it is a little hard to assemble the center divider and instructions are vague but i managed somehow. The other parts are easy to assemble. If u dont need a divider then this would be easy peasy to install. Does its job well. Would recommend for avid gardeners.

It took about an hour to put together which isn't bad with all the screws. The instructions were good enough, but you can tell they were translated from another language to English. The most confusing part was the middle divider. The arrows are supposed to line up, but they don't and there is a bit of a gap at intervals all the way around. So while it does divide the middle, some material will get into the other side. It fits the way it should though. Like others have said the doors end up face down, so make sure to hold it. And finally, it rotates well enough just spinning on the metal tube provided.

I can recommend this compost maker for real DIY'ers. A high amount of assembly required but when it is done the unit is plenty sturdy, and works fine. they even toss in a few extra bolts and nuts incase you loose a couple along the way. I use this to process the bedding of our chicken brooders into compost, and after just 3 weeks it's gone from full to about 60% full as the compost is breaking down.

I'm used to receiving products with one-pager pictograph instructions, but wow this one was bad. The instructions were essentially useless and it took a lot of puzzling, swearing, and re-puzzling to put this together. However, when it finally was assembled, it was sturdy and rotated easily when we tested it. We haven't been able to finish a full batch of compost yet, but it is promising and we haven't seen any rodent activity inside the drums, which is a relief. I really like that there are two independent drums so we can have two batches in different stages.

This item took me 4 hours to put it together. Because it had no decent instructions. All you get is a piece of paper. So you have to figure it out like a puzzle. It is well made and strong. Thank the Lord I love puzzles. Otherwise it is a very good product.

When I first received this product I was a little overwhelmed by all of the part and assembly needed. If you have a second person help you, assembly will be much easier and less frustrating. Now that’s it’s put together, the tumblers feel sturdy and the lids are nice and tight. All things you want in a composting tumbler. Like others have stated, it’s not very tall so I suspect once I have decent compost it will be hard to put a 5 gallon bucket underneath the tumbler to have it fall into it. I’ll have to scoop it out which is what I suspect the gloves are for.

Acquired the VEVOR 37 gallon dual tumbler on the 23rd of September 2026, with the grand intention of turning our kitchen scraps into proper compost. Visually speaking, it’s a right treat for the garden. It is far more aesthetically pleasing than building one of those massive, multi tiered wooden monstrosities. It has already significantly reduced our household waste and will undoubtedly save us a pretty penny on commercial fertilizers down the line. That being said, it’s not without its niggles. Snapping the locking mechanism together on each individual panel is an absolute nightmare. I actually had to give the sections a proper bashing with a hammer just to get everything to slot into place securely. All the same, despite these assembly headaches, I must say it has worked remarkably well.

Le istruzioni non sono complete quindi ho dovuto usare Gemini perché mi avanzavano dei pezzi. Quando vai ad inserire caffè o cose più piccole escono tutte dai buchi che ci sono per l'areazione. Sicuramente uscirà anche il terriccio quindi sinceramente non ne capisco l'utilità.

Flimsy and cheap, would not consider durable. Took a lot of work to force the pieces together since a few holes did not line up so we had to makeshift them together. Does not stand well on its own so it’s tied up to fencing for support. It does appear to have a good amount of space inside and the barrel swivels well, probably would be better if we received a better quality unit
