Customer Reviews for VEVOR Compost Bin 18.5 Gal Composter Tumbler Rotating Outdoor with Sliding Door

Super cool compost bin. Love the dual chambers and rotating it is super easy and convenient.

I have a semi-instant (overnight) indoor composted which I love. With growing season approaching, I thought I'd try out something bigger. Whether I'm successful or not remains to be seen, but as far as the unit - I believe this has everything one needs to compost successfully. Dual chambers are key if you want ongoing compost abilities. It was pretty easy to assemble. And it's a good size for a small/medium operation.

So far so good with this composting bin. It took us very little time to put this together when it arrived, and so far it seems to be working perfectly. It is right outside our back door and has help up through the rain and snow very well. Definitely a good deal if you wanted to get serious about composting.

This was easy to build and very sturdy plastic construction. This is small enough to tuck in a corner of the yard and still get good results for composting. Looking forward to the good weather and some composting.

This a nice size lightweight composting bin. It was easy to assemble and has two separate barrels. You can spin them separately and hold them in place with the plastic stopper. It looks like it will hold quite a bit of compost and has small holes to drain any rain water. The quality seems good, but not sure how many seasons it will last through. Might work better under a covered area out of the harsh weather.

I've gotten several items from the maker of this composting tumbler and all have been reasonably good values. This bin is a seemingly good value, as well. It has a large capacity split between two bins, allowing for batches of different \"readiness\" or composition. Well-finished, smooth metal parts and heavy-duty plastics are used in it's construction, though assembly is required. It's straight forward enough one can essentially figure it out on the picture alone. It's going to be fun making compost and seeing the cycle from scrap food back to good food with the family in this year's garden.

Our neighbors now have chickens and we now have a neighborhood coyote. (We think they may be related.) We also have squirrels, mice, chipmunks, song birds, stray cats, wild turkeys, vultures, cottontail rabbits, snakes, and, well you get the picture. We had been composting in raised beds with burlap on top. Within a month of placing new burlap on top our compost, we had huge holes where something(s) chewed threw. It was time for a raised tumbler. I hate to use plastic, but I also don't like the alternative. This plastic is BPA free and claims to be chemical resistant. I'm not sure what that means, but it did have a little bit of smell when I first opened it. The smell was gone by the time I finished assembling it. It took me about 2 hours to assemble this by myself with about 5 minutes of help from my kid because my arms couldn't reach from inside around to outside on the far end of the opening when I was putting in the last screws. Assembly Tips below. Assembly Hints: 1) I accidentally only attached 1 Side A then had to attach the other one when all the sides were finished being attached. I actually think this helped me, though as I was better able to reach the screws and nuts. 2) Have needle nose pliers handy to help hold the nuts in place that go in the centers as you screw in the screws. (See picture.) This is a very tight space and the needle nose can fit in to grip the nut. 3) If you have it, a headlamp is great as it starts to get really dark inside with the black screws and nuts as you get further along in the assembly. 4) A wrench of some kind will be quite handy, especially at the end. 5) The included gloves were a nice gesture, but I found going gloveless helped me feel what I was doing much better and helped to get a better grip on the screws and nuts. The gloves kept slipping so I gave up on using them pretty early. 6) Inserting the center piece half way through--be patient, really line up the arrows! There will be a little gap at the end of each panel.

When I first received this product I was a little overwhelmed by all of the part and assembly needed. If you have a second person help you, assembly will be much easier and less frustrating. Now that’s it’s put together, the tumblers feel sturdy and the lids are nice and tight. All things you want in a composting tumbler. Like others have stated, it’s not very tall so I suspect once I have decent compost it will be hard to put a 5 gallon bucket underneath the tumbler to have it fall into it. I’ll have to scoop it out which is what I suspect the gloves are for.

Easy to assemble and use. Heavy duty enough, light weight enough to be no trouble to move. Instructions were simple. No issues here.

This compost bin is very sturdy and durable. The instructions for putting it together could have been better, but we got it figured out in the end. I've been using it for the last two weeks and it seems to be working well. Of course, we have been in the Arctic freeze here in my area, so not much is happening in there. It isn't smelling yet, but I am keeping a 30/20 mix of brown and green, so it shouldn't smell, though we will see when it warms up.
