Better than expected. Sturdy and easy to put together
The media could not be loaded. After much consideration I decided to go for this kind of tumbling composter. I'm very happy with my decision.It was fairly easy to put together, I only needed a Phillips screwdriver, a soft mallet would have been useful but it wasn't strictly necessary.It took me about 20 min, but I didn't rush it. With the box you get instructions and it includes a QR code to check the instructions online, but I didn't need to check online, it was fairly straightforward.It looks better than I thought It would and it's a good size. I really like the double compartment and it's much easier than turning your compost heap with a fork.I don't have a garden as such, I have a roof terrace and this is a must neater solution that a compost heap or bin.I've been saving my food scraps and garden waste for few weeks in anticipation to getting this bin, I had about 3 carrier bags full, it filled about 1/3 of one of the compartments loosely. It's quite easy to rotate it and very convenient to be able to have the sliding door at the top to fill it, I'd think it'll be easy to empty as well, just by rotating it and positioning the sliding door at the bottom.I'd definitely recommend it.I hope you have found this review useful

Sturdy composter
This was a replacement for our old hot-bin which was good but was damaged last winter. Honestly we struggled to feed it enough to keep it ‘Hot’ so it wasn’t as efficient as it could have been. In getting a new composter I wanted a smaller unit but ideally a double so that we could have one usable at all times. This fitted the bill. It was delivered earlier than due and though was a little tricky to put together solo, the pieces slotted together well with no issues. Just read the instructions first so you don’t miss out the door section as once slotted in they are difficult to remove.So far no issues. It rotates well and the door is well sealed when closed (but tends to slide completely out when opening if you are a bit heavy handed like me). Overall can’t fault it and hopefully will be able to update once we have first batch fully ready in the summer.

Great for a small garden but does it work?
The media could not be loaded. Bought the Gro Garden Products Dual Chamber 70Ltr Tumbling Composter as I didn't want an open compost heap in my garden. It cost £73.95 and arrived soon after ordering. Assembly was relatively straight forward although when clipping the sides onto the square pieces; due to the slots still having plastic material in where it hadn't been punched out thoroughly it was a bit awkward to clip them in. Once I realised why it was not clipping in easily I removed the waste material from each slot, you'll see the material I refer to in one of the pictures I've uploaded. One of the metal support legs had a tear by one of the bolt holes but this hasn't caused an issue so far.It says in the instructions to only load a compartment to three quarters full but remember the material collapses down quickly, my first compartment is less than a third full, I didn't want to keep topping it up as I wanted to see how long it took to make my first compost. On that note, my first batch has been in for two months and it not ready yet, as others have noted there is a recommended mix of browns and greens and so I've used shredded cardboard to make up the browns. My second batch is almost ready to leave to compost, I've added a bit of water and have been turning the compartments every couple of days.The 'brakes' on the side pop out of their holding 'pins'. The plastic 'handle' splays when it comes into contact with the side of the compartment and a couple of times has popped off.There's very little smell although as another reviewer mentioned when you open a door gnats swarm out.I am happy with the composter and really want to see nice compost before I recommend it.

Well made, recommend it
Very solid and well-made. As others have commented, it is tricky to assemble if you don’t have strong fingers as the snap connections are tough, but this is a sign of how well made it is, and it’s very easy to assemble. I would definitely recommend it but a bit of assistance for those with arthritis or weak fingers would probably be helpful in putting it together. Nice bit of kit though.

Does a good job so far
Seems solid. Does a decent job. Assembly wasn't that hard but took a little time and effort.-- edit --Had this a long time now. It does not perform anything like what it suggests. Seems to take a year+ to break down compost. I haven't ever managed to use any compost made by it.

Not fit for Yorkshire winters
I've had this for a little over a year now and live in Leeds, UK. I'll start with the positives. Very easy to assemble, the spinning is very easy and I seemed to be getting some good results after getting the right brown vs green ratios. Now the bad. The issue is that even when half full the product cannot withstand Yorkshire winters. Just recently the plastic component supporting the legs bent due to rain getting inside the bins and adding extra weight. This meant I can no longer spin the bins as they are both resting on the ground now due to a bent plastic component. If this support was made out of metal you'd have to believe I wouldn't be having this issue. After contacting their slow to respond (days and days to respond to each query) customer service I was told there is no warranty, which is very surprising this day and age. Surely a compost bin would be able to live outside and not have to be under cover?? Anyways, be careful here. No warranty, can't withstand half full and a Yorkshire winter. I won't be buying from this company again.
