Customer Reviews for VEVOR Compost Bin 43 Gal Dual-Chamber Composter Tumbler Rotating Sliding Doors

This arrives in a tightly packed carton. At first it seems like putting a puzzle together, but it is really quite simple. I found that all parts fit perfectly without any issues. Once assembled, I noted how sturdy the unit is. Using a barrel composter like this one, makes it easy to periodically mix your compost to get it ready for the garden. I got the 43 gallon size and I find it perfect to handle our kitchen scraps and yard clippings.

This bin has many many pieces and they definitely have a process that cannot be switched up ….so don’t just start putting things together ... .My husband did this and we ended up taking over half of it back apart to get the center divider in properly. Read the directions and lay the parts out so that you get the idea….to give my husband proper credit…he builds houses so he typically doesn’t need directions to see how something should fit together. This is the exception. The center divider looked like it should fit snugly but instead just kind of hangs out in the middle groove. ( so it’s not a tight fit like the other pieces ) It does need to be in the slot allotted and we found it helpful to have the center pole through the ends and through the center panel to keep it from rotating. This may have worked for us because we started behind the 8 ball…but if you are having issues with this matter…it solved 90% for us. As we assembled and disassembled, we did have a screw pop loose, through the plastic….it did not tear away any plastic but enlarged the hole somewhat so when we went back to attach that section, we used some small black washers that we had on hand, just to insure it didn’t cause a issue later. We do think that the divider will not prevent anything tiny from transferring between the two halves….which probably doesn’t matter at all. During the point of assembly, we did wish we had chosen the other style bin with two separate halves….it would have simplified the assembly ( not being so large to handle all at once and no fiddly middle panel ). Several have found issue with the height but I find it to be adequate….I will likely make a paver pad for it to prevent weeds from growing up around it and doing that will raise it a couple inches or stacking pavers &/or cinder blocks would create a custom height if my husband (6’4”) would prefer it to be higher. A convenient height as far as adding/ rotating / harvesting the mulch will be different depending on your hei

I got this for my greenhouse. Hopefully in the spring I will have enough to start planting with.

We decided to order the 37Gallon unit and are very happy with it thus far. Assembly was simple and took a matter of minutes, pieces easily snap together and then attach to a steel frame which we really liked, it’s not too heavy and easy to maneuver around if needed. We really like the 2 bin feature and like that they move independently from eachother, when one bin is full, we can move to the next one. They roll with ease and the unit is sturdy and durable

This was easy to put together. There was everything supplied to put it together. Instructions were easy to follow. It took me about 45 min to put together by myself. Would have been a little easier with someone else helping. Once together it turns easily. I have not filled it yet since everything is frozen right now. The instruction do tell how to make the compost.

I didn't realize that both this and the largest size are dual chambers. They updated the information now than before I put my order in for this one. However, I think I still like the looks and design of this one. Installation is super easy and takes maybe 20 minutes to put together. It is much lower than what I thought it was going to be but I'm also 6'2\", so that's quite normal when I get things and it having it be below my waistline. My wife finds it more comfortable to get into since she's over a foot shorter than me. The dual chamber is nice because you can start a batch of compost and if it's mid-way through, instead of adding more to it and slowing the process down, just use the other chamber. They rotate independently of each other. I thought this would smell horrible but honestly it doesn't. I'm actually quite excited to get some good soil so we can have a nice herb garden this year. I don't mind buying soil but with all the crap that is out there anymore you never know what's really in it and or if there are tons of chemicals that are not going to be in your fruits/veggies without you knowing or wanting that. With this, it's natural and we know exactly what's the soil is going to be made of. I am hoping this will last some time outside. It's literally going to be in the back yard behind our fence in our common area exposed to the sun/weather 24/7.

I forgot to get a picture of all the pieces before assembly. This has 8 side pieces a middle piece and 2 ends. Plus the metal bars are is 6 different pieces. It gives you a lot of screws and nuts and a screw driver as well. You put the piece with the door on first then work your way around. It overlaps and butts into each new piece. Once put together it’s very sturdy. I assembled the barrel and my husband did the legs and put them on. It’s not as tall as I thought it would be, but when assembled it’s the perfect height. You will have to hang on to it when you go to put compost in though because it automatically wants to rotate doors down. The plastic feels heavy duty and should last for awhile. Oh and they give you a pair of white gloves… still not sure what they were for. Once put together it has a right and left chamber that is securely separated as well. The doors slide separately so you can open the right or the left side.
