Vremi Tumbling Outdoor Compost Bin – Dual Chamber 360° UV Proof and Rust Proof 42 gal with Secure Sliding Doors – All Season Composter with Aeration System

This is a pretty nice compost bin for the money. Fairly easy to assemble, just take your time keeping the center divider aligned when adding the final panels. Lots of screws to install, and it will seem to be flimsy until fully assembled. After assembly it is very sturdy.

In 2016 we purchased a 37 gallon version of the tumble composter from another vendor on Amazon. It was more expensive than this one, had thinner walls and eventually developed a serious crack in one of the walls. We moved end of 2020. Threw the old composter out with heavy trash as it wasn't coming with us.Need a new composter here and started shopping around. This one was the least expensive for the size with zero ratings. So figured I'd give it a shot.1.5 hour + of assembly. That is because every panel is held down by a lot of screws and nuts. This is good because the old composter did not have as many screws which probably is why it developed cracks do to lack of strength. The wall panels are thicker than the old composter we had. Assembly was straightforward though tedious with so many screws to lock in place. But the final product as you can see is gorgeous and should work well as a tumble composter.What I did like is all the holes align. There was never the 'ugh' moment trying to line things up to get the screw through.Hint: when assembling the legs start with the 'cc' and 'dd' legs. I tried to start with the 'bb' legs and I just could not correlate the instructions to what I have. I'm pretty sure the instructions show the holes both in the same direction on 'bb' but my 'bb' legs had holes pointing in opposite directions. Once you get 'cc' and 'dd' put together the rest is, as they say, child's play and you'll see how it all fits together.Also, I waited until the 4th/5th panel to install the center divider. It was just easier to hold it in place with most of the panels in place.Cons: I do not have any.Pros: I like how the sliding doors are separate and also 'lock' into place. There is no actual lock but it does snug in when pushed all the way in. This should help keep racoons out.All in all for the price and the capacity of the composter I say this is a 10 for a tumble composter. Time will tell but I have more faith in this tumble composter than our old one.

First - a word for Vremi's excellent customer service. My unit came without a key piece; I called and they courteously and swiftly sent a whole new composter! I was thrilled. Assembly is a bit fiddly; it's important to be exact about fitting the pieces so the screws go through, but it wasn't unduly difficult.HOWEVER - the two sliding doors were tight from the very beginning, and within a few weeks outdoors became so tight that they would pop out repeatedly as I tried to slide them shut. TBH I'm looking for anything else I could use as a replacement! Serious design flaw, very frustrating.

This has been a great purchase. We no longer have a stinky trash bin to deal with or worry about disposal. Now, any natural plant trash we just put in a bowl and carry out to the composter. We have had our composter for a bit over a month and a half, only once did the composter emit a bad odor. I had cut up a watermelon and dumped into the composter, after a couple days it had got a strong vinegar smell which disappeared in another day. Not bad! We are only two people so don’t accumulate a lot of plant trash. So it may take longer than three months to get any dirt? What we have disposed of dries quickly so really no odor, and it seems to break down quickly into dried up plants. I have filled one side with an old flower bouquet plus leaves and vegetable trash. In a couple days that broke down into a much smaller heap. So we have a while to go before we get dirt. Once one side gets full, there is another to start filling. I spin the barrel everyday 15-so times, it is easy to spin. Dirt isn’t created overnight, I’m expecting another couple months before I see any actual dirt, but that is ok. I’ll check back in once I see results.

Have not even used this yet and I have contacted the seller regarding fit issues. The plastic corners (pictured) are turned, gaps in most seams and cannot get the doors (either one) to open without major force.It is very hard to get together for 3 reasons. 1-the instructions are lacking info2-it is a two person job but you can't fit two people3- you have to tighten 56 screws by feel when the screw holes do not match up, they aren't long enough to grab the nut, there is no room to place the wrench on the inside and it doesn't stay together until 5 out of the 7 screw for each piece are screwed in.With the current technology in plastics molding, it shouldn't be hard to produce a product that actually fits, with screw holes large enough for every screw and the ability to navigate screw placement (or snap together placement with screw reinforcent) so that you can actually use the tools provided.Will update if seller responds.Edit- seller responded quickly. Sending a second composter to replace the one that didn't fit well. Raising the stars just on seller response alone. Will update when new composter arrives.

This is a pain to assemble if you’re doing it by yourself! I finally got it done, but it took awhile!I’m fairly disappointed that it has only been outside a couple of weeks and the bolts that hold it together are already rusting. Also, for a company calling itself “be the change” they use a LOT of plastic bags and packing. It mostly seems unnecessary.Hopefully it holds up …

The media could not be loaded.  After reading all of the reviews I was ready to tackle the assembly of this. Luckily, my boyfriend did it for me while I was out of Town on a work trip. I will say that overall the sturdiness is OK and there is an option to split it for two different compost batches- the air holes allow for a lot of water to enter. I don’t know that I would purchase it again but it’s certainly a good option for the price
