VIVOSUN Outdoor Tumbling Composter Dual Rotating Batch Compost Bin, 43 Gallon Black Door

This was easy to assemble and it seems to be good quality so far. The composting capacity is fine for a homesteading family on a small scale which is what we are. It's easy to move when empty so you could assemble it then pick it up and move it wherever you need to before filling it. The 2 chambers is nice to have. Just take note the divider doesn't line up perfectly inside the center groove. It seems like it will stay in place but that part of the assembly is a little off.

Buen diseño buena calidad funciona.Los residuos se descomponen y después de armarse (más de una hora entre dos personas) el producto es estético y funcional.Detalles negativos : por los micro orificios de respiración nos ha pasado que salen fragmentos de cáscara de huevo por ejemplo. Nada grave pero ahí están.Otro detalle es que cualquier composta secreta líquido que se escurre particularmente al momento de girar. Vamos puedes un recipiente abajo. Sería recomendable ponerlo sobre pasto directamente para que estos micro-residuos y líquidos (pocos ml) caigan directo.Aún no hemos llenado el primero compartimento pero el grado de descomposición si avanza. Cuidado al abrir salen muchos mosquito, nada ofensivos.

First, the pros:1) Extra screws and nuts were provided. This is rare nowadays, but this came with 4 extra sets of screws and nuts and 2 extra center pipe end caps2) The nuts are self-tightening: you only have to get them started a few turns then you can screw the screws from the outside (with the included Philips screwdriver) and they will tighten without having to hold the nut with your finger or a wrench. This is key since it is hard at times to wrap your arm inside of the bin to hold the nut while tightening the screw from the outside.3) Thickness of the plastic is pretty good for what this is. It presents as fairly sturdy when assembled.4) Large size. I got the 43 gallon model and I can tell it will hold a lot of compost.5) The tumbler rotates smoothly and easily.6) The legs are sturdy and easy to assemble.Now the cons:1) not that easy to assemble. I'm 60 years old. I've been around the Ikea block several times. I've assembled huge pergolas and gazebos and carts and sheds and all varieties of machines and devices. I have every tool. I can do plumbing and electrical work, carpentry, both rough and finish, drywall, irrigation, tile and marble. I've done it all. But this wasn't that easy to assemble. The worst part was thinking the center divider should fit nicely into the center grooved channel that goes around the inside perimeter of the tumbler, when it doesn't even come close. I think the manufacturer said, "let's use one center divider for all the different tumblers we make, fit be darned." I spent more time trying to make the center divider panel fit than assembling the rest of the unit. Check out my pictures to see how poorly it fits. I tried flipping it over, rotating the divider every which way, but nope, didn't happen.2) You have to work your way around the tumbler, adding one panel at a time. It was difficult at times to hold the panels in place while I was screwing them together. There are these raised, stubby posts that are supposed to snap into holes on the adjacent panels and many times the snap was not as snappy as it should have been. Some of the connections seemed a little loose but upon completion, the sides seem to have pulled together as a team and the weight of the compost may push the edges out enough so that those posts snug up against the holes.Summary: I believe this was worth the price and it will function well for several years.

The instructions lack a bit of detail but are adequate if you are patient. It is actually quite straight forward when you get the hang of it. Installing the multitude of small bolts & nuts is what takes up the time. Finished product looks good and after putting trimmings etc. in, it did not take long to heat up.So far - so good

Well engineered, follow instructions and put panels on in order so you can still reach inside to put nuts on, you don’t need a socket or wrench for nuts, if you hand tighten them enough they have grips cut into them so you can just use a screw driver from outside. Very nice detail. The only wrench you will need is for the 2 long screws that attach horizontal support to stand. Lots of nuts and machine screws, took me about an hour to assemble but it was fun.i put it together in the living room and my wife asked me what time the raffle was, i told her no raffle it was a hamster wheel for the cat.
