Plain and simple it is to hard to airrate. You basically have to turn it over with a pitchfork or something. Because of the hight it is a major strain to your back. when it gets wet the contents is very heavy and difficult to move. Because of the lack of air movement it takes a very long time to complete composting. I never tried a rotating one but from the looks of them they seem to have a much better design. This is nothing but a glorified box i dont see anything in the desingn that would help to speed up the composting process. you are better off getting a big plastic bin or a garbage can and cut the bottom out and drill wholes because that is essentially what this is. do not buy this product.

This is my second compost bin. I was looking for one that was big enough to handle all the of the fall leaves. This one is large, sturdy,and stable. It was also easy to assemble, but I had difficulty with the handles. I cannot get them to stay in place. I also know that I will have difficulty turning the pile since the sides are immovable, but I wanted to try a bin like this one becuase it is a definite contrast to the one I have with movable walls. Overall, I am pleased because it holds my leaves quite well and sits unobstrusively in the yard.

It is very hard to turn your materials in this composter. It’s labor intensive and hard on your back. I’m 5’5″ and when I take off the lid to turn the materials, my face is right over the top of it and all of the flying knats come up and get in my face. It’s gross. I’m getting a new compost tumbler with a crank handle. This one is going in my recycling bin. Hope this review helps.

This product has not held up well. The top does not stay aligned which makes it difficult to set the lid in place and lock the two levers in place. The bottom doors tend to pop out. After three years of use, the plastic split at one corner. I’d hoped it would hold up better, and replaced it with a different brand and model.

Although I have used this for a number of years, I have been frustrated with it because it would not remain properly aligned (square), thus the lid would not fit properly in order to latch. This allowed too much rain to get in, and was an invitation to racoons that would eat kitchen scraps before they began to compost. The material from which it is made held up well, except for small portion that appears to have been gnawed by an animal.
