Compost Tumbler, Easy Assemble & Efficient Outdoor Compost Bin, 45 Gallon/170 Liter Large Dual Chamber Rotating Composter for Garden, Kitchen, and Yard Waste, Orange Door

I, like a lot of humans who are concerned where this country may be headed wanted to start doing more things with my land. I’ve been wanting to start gardening and composting for a while now. I did a lot of research before finally biting the bullet and making this purchase. I wanted two sides. I wanted it to be sturdy and I NEEDED it to be reasonably easy to put together. I did not want 10,000 screws and I didn’t want to have to bend over backwards to get the pieces together. This one was a little more expensive than some of the others online but it seemed to really hit all those marks! I opened it today and was able to put it together in roughly 40 minutes all by myself! I used a rubber mallet (definitely recommend), a small screw gun (also recommend) and I used the tiny wrench provided for the large screws to attach the baskets to the stand. I recommend attaching all the joint panels in a line PRIOR to attaching them to the side panels. If you don’t it will become difficult to attach each panel to the next with the connecting buckle. I did it the way the instructions said to do it for the first chamber and did it the way I just said for the second chamber and it was WAY easier. I used the rubber mallet to attach the connecting buckles to the joint panels and then I used it to bang the panels to the side panels. Other humans who have stronger ability to push the pieces together may be able to do it without the mallet but for it it hurt my hands. Using the mallet worked well. They do provide a small screw driver for the screws needed to solidly secure the side panels to the joint panels but my small screw gun was much faster and didn’t hurt it at all. I’m going to start using this today but it seems super sturdy and was so easy to put together it was not overwhelming. If it ends up sucking I will update this review but so far it’s landing perfect!!

I’m new to composting and after reading numerous reviews and comparing bins, I chose this Marcytop for a few reasons. While a bit pricier at $129 -15% coupon, the 2 drums are larger at 22.5 gal each, the height is 43 inches once assembled, the garden appeal with the bright orange buckle inserts (green and yellow also available), and the ease of assembly. It was like LEGOs for adults and quite fun putting it together. The most difficult part of assembly is snapping the connecting brackets together. If you lay the panels flat, side by side, inside facing up, pushing down on the brackets with a little ‘umph’ snaps them together easily. DON’T FORGET to slide in the black plate inserts to each drum before closing the drum. (I almost did!) Once assembled and small screws applied, a second pair of hands is ideal to place the drums on the legs and fasten together. Since this bin does not have a thermometer, I purchased one separately to monitor the compost. Overall, this compost bin seems sturdy and durable and the exterior easy to clean with a water hose. Will repost in the near future and give feedback on how it stands in the Florida heat and storms. NOTE: There are no spare parts or extra screws.

Pretty easy to assemble, a little difficult to turn once you start filling it. I like how it looks and I think it does make stirring the compost easier

I love this composter! I wanted something affordable that would last more than a season, and after about a year, I’m still really happy with it. It spins easily, feels sturdy, and hasn’t rusted at all despite my humid, rainy climate. No issues with critters or my dogs getting into it either. I haven’t harvested compost yet, but it’ll be the usual effort for a rotating hot composter. I put bins underneath to collect the nutrient-rich liquid and use it in my garden. Assembly wasn’t bad—easier with two people. We skipped the instructions at first, made a few mistakes, but fixed them quickly. Definitely worth it. If I produced more compostable waste, I’d buy another in a heartbeat!

So easy to put together. It's a great size. Now I won't buy any potting soil. It's turns so easy. Love it

Easy to assemble and has held up well over our cold snowy winter.

Fantastic product… I’ve already harvested about 200 pounds of compost for my brand new garden beds… It works quickly and efficiently. I put a bin underneath to catch the liquid that drains off and use that to water my inside plants 100% worth it would buy again.

I really like the tumbler, it made composting so much easier than the traditional way. Spinning the barrel is much easier and cleaner than flipping with a shovel and mixing. Seems to be doing well and breaking compost down fast. My only issues are it’s kind of hard to spin the barrel once it’s about 1/2 full and sometimes it packs into the bottom so it takes a few extra spins to get it mixed well and there was sooo many screws to assemble. But it holds a good amount, the doors open easily and you can choose to use one side or both. Same with spinning you can spin both at once or one at a time. Definitely worth the time and money. Not sure how easy getting the compost out will be, the opening is pretty small but I haven’t tried it yet.
