Review: Good product, fantastic Customer Service - I bought this unit as "used, in very good condition" from desertcart Warehouse. As far as I can tell when received, it was never actually used. Someone appears to have taken it out of the box and then returned. All the parts were in there, although as I was assembling it, I discovered that two panels were broken. More on this later. The unit is reasonably easy to assemble once you figure out the somewhat cryptic instructions. To be fair, the skimpy instruction manual refers you to a video on the web site which I assume shows the assembly process in greater detail. I didn't look at it, and after a short while, I figured out the right way to put it together. Be warned that there are lots of screws to place. Lots! Also, it is very easy to assemble the supporting bars in the wrong order, and again the instructions are not terribly clear in the manual. Other than that the assembly process itself is not too hard. Once I got the unit together, I found that the composter stands sturdily enough,and seems to be working. Mine will probably need at least two to four weeks more before it produces anything recognizable as soil, but there's certainly activity taking place in there. It's also a lot less messy than my original standing square-box composter. Now, regarding the pannels, I wrote to the manufacture's support address explaining the situation, and asking whether they could send replacement panels. Remember that I got the unit as "used" from desertcart Warehouse, and so I thought there might be a chance that they could refuse to honor the warranty, in which case I more than half expected that I would have to return the whole thing back to desertcart. I was very happily surprised when they replied within a day, letting me know they were shipping the replacement panels. However, I was then further happily shocked when the panels arrived (plus the whole set of screws as well!) within two days, to Puerto Rico! (normal shipping for most of the stuff I buy only usually takes at lest 5-7 business days! I am happy with the composter, and I am extremely happy with the customer service. The instructions could definitely used some improvement.
Review: Well built but requires care in assembly - Quality is solid, but I wish they would have used galvanized hardware and nylon lock nuts for ALL the hardware. The black oxide screws are sure to eventually rust. Assembly tips: 1. Watch YouTube videos and go to the product website before starting. Study "composting tips" in the provided instructions. Fill the composting tumbler 50-60% full for optimum performance. 2. Have a medium size flat-bladed or box-ended screwdriver, 3/8"/10mm box end wrench, and small 3/8"/10mm socket wrench available (3/8" fits tighter). 3. Optionally, wear a headlamp so you can see clearly inside the unit 4. Optionally, put Teflon or silicone grease on the metal axle tube before putting the plastic tube over it - this will help the unit rotate easier 5. When starting to put on the 8 panels, have the 2 end octagons lined up with their 7-hole side straight up. This is absolutely critical. 6. Constantly verify that the center divider is positioned into the slots on all the assembled panels. You can easily knock it loose while installing the next panel 7. Double check that you tightened every screw and got the 2 tabs on each panel fully snapped into the square holes on the next panel. The panel join line should appear straight and flat, with no humps where the tabs are. 8. The sliding door panel is the last one to be installed and goes on the 7-hole side of the octagons mentioned above. Tucking its bottom edge under the first panel you installed and making sure all 4 tabs involved are snapped into the square holes requires special care. I removed two screws on the first panel I installed and then deformed that panel outward so I could tuck the last panel underneath it. This seemed to work well and all tabs and square holes were snapped together. 9. Optionally, run a 21.5 inch bead of black silicone sealer along the joints between the 8 panels. This may keep out rainwater, which helps keep the weight down and thus makes turning the unit easier. I also put silicone sealer inside every joint while I was assembling it - which makes a mess and is probably overkill. After assembly I put a sheet of thick plastic underneath the composter and added 8 gallons of compost material to each side and sprinkled on 2 gallons of water and tumbled it. I noticed that about half the water leaked out of the weep slots in the end octagons. So the concern above about rainwater entry may be overblown, since it would drain out anyway. I suppose it might wash away nutrients, though, so water intrusion is probably best controlled.

## Features

In hot sunny conditions and with a proper balance of ingredients the compost can finish in as little as 2 weeks. Total capacity approximately 22.5 gallons (3 cu ft)
- EASY TO USE – Fantastic for beginners! The large opening and removable door make it easy to add scraps/clippings and remove finished compost. Deep fins on the body provide great ergonomic handholds.
- EXCELLENT AERATION – All our composter models feature aeration holes as well as deep fins to break up clumps inside the chamber and mix lots of oxygen into the compost. Tumbling composters allow far greater aeration than standard models.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ PIA, missing screw, but we got it done.
*by J***A on February 16, 2020*

As everyone said the instructions provided are beyond terrible, which makes it difficult to put together. Add to it, it’s missing a screw. First of all, nuts and screws cost pennies so put an extra nut and screw inside so you aren’t wasting money shipping a damn screw. It’s common sense. Also, the composter did not come in its own box inside the amazon box. The amazon box had some damage and the plastic zipped bag the nuts and bolts came in was opened and pieces spread throughout the box. A damaged box and loose parts does not mix well. I will be contacting them for the missing screw. Next, at least at times, you may need two people to help put this together. Try to find someone who isn’t easily aggravated. I regretted asking my husband to help who wanted to take a hammer to this to separate the poles when they got stuck tight. I refused as I was afraid he would ruin the plastic. He admits he’s a bit of a Neanderthal. You will need a Phillips screw driver and a wrench. I had the bottom put together wrong so pay attention to the size of the pieces. It’s not supposed to be slanted. 🙄 Usually I’m better than that, but my dogs climbing in my lap while trying to put this together apparently distracted me. The middle separator is a pain, this is where two people help to keep lined up as you screw the pieces together. Don’t try to force it, just unscrew the outer pieces until you can readjust. Don’t tighten the screws all the way until you get finished so you don’t strip them trying to undo them. You may need to undo them until you figure this out. The nuts on the actual composter are self tightening so you can hand tighten a bit and you won’t need two hands to finish tightening them. It seems sturdy enough now it’s together, even with the one missing screw. I may spray the legs with Rustoleum to protect the metal, which I think may rust since it will be sitting on the ground year round. It definitely took awhile to put it together, but hopefully worth it. We shall see!
