Maze 48 Gallon Outdoor Compost Bin Tumbler for Food Waste - Outdoor Compost Bin for Kitchen Garden & Homestead Heavy Duty Dual Chamber Waste Recycling Machine

I just love this thing! My kitchen scraps are finally not going to waste and that has the added bonus of a not nearly as smelly garbage can. That alone made the purchase worth it. Pretty simple to put together and sturdier than I would have thought. Just take your time, read the directions and if all else fails, download the QR code and watch the video. Only took me about 30 mins. but I'm a builder so I would expect the average person to maybe take a bit longer, but not much. I would, however, recommend an electric drill and socket bit. Made it go a lot quicker. Since the sprocket gears are plastic and not covered, I would expect with time they will need to be rinsed off to keep them turning smoothly like they do now. This is a pretty nice product, well made. And worth it, I believe, to spend a bit extra for the model with the crank/handle. I've looked at some that operate with a pull pin and potential for error there. This one rotates very easily. Overall, highly recommended. AAAAAAA++++++++

This was pricey, but I finally went for it this summer. My bro put it together for me and I’ve been using it since then. The crank handle is great for mixing up what is inside to promote decomposition into compost. It’s not so large that I’d have to wait a year for compost to develop and the inside is split into two halves so I’m adding to one side while the other is percolating. I’m very happy to have bought this; I just splurged on the collection bin Maze makes so once the compost is ready I can easily dump it out into that and then roll it over to the garden.

We've only had this for 3 weeks, so far. My wife loved this. It was a little challenging putting together for her but not bad. It sure seems easy and it's doing the trick. It's very easy to turn and the two compartments are easy enough to get stuff in and appear to be easy to get out. We're waiting on the first compartment to be ready but with cooler weather, will take a couple more weeks.

It was fairly easy to assemble as long as the instructions are followed. I did check and double checked as I was assembling. The necessary tools were supplied which was nice. It is a good size and seems very durable. I love having the locking handle to turn the bin rather than having to manually turn it. The two separate compartments are wonderful. The composter doors have a tab with holes where I used a clip to keep any critters from opening it. I would definitely buy another.

We have had this for about 6 months now and have turned out a few batches of compost already and laid it out in the yard and garden beds. It has been sturdy and easy to use. We turn it every few days. My partner loves the compost tea that drips out of it also and waters that down to use at a fertilizer around our plants. We have no complaints. Does what we wanted it to do. We are very satisfied.

If I could give this product -Stars I would. The construction was very weak and cheap. The weight of it was to heavy for the cardboard box it was shipped in which caused it to be broken when opened.

I really like my composter and while it was not hard to put together, it was not easy either. I really needs 2 people to expedite the process. I live in an urban area with a strict covenant about what you can have in your yard. This is a great addition to my kitchen countertop composter. it works well, does not smell and blends in nicely with my small yard.

We were really looking forward to what appeared to be a well-made Tumbler. However, for the quantity of interior space, you cannot put much compost material inside before the crank handle will not turn due to the teeth slipping. If all you want to put in is dry Material such as Dead leaves, or very light, compost material, you might be able to get it 1/3 full, but if there is anything heavy, such as pumpkin rinds, watermelon rinds, which have a high quantity of water which needs to evaporate, the tumbler may not turn very easy.
