FCMP Outdoor 37 Gallon Elevated Dual Chamber Tumbling Garden Composter Bin

We were able to fit a lot of gardening waste in this big dual composter. We were pleasantlyable surprised. Spinning is easy. A lot of pieces to put together, but with two of us we got it done in 15-20 minutes. Not hard just tedious. Very pleased with the results.

Dual compartment is a great idea-reduces waiting time for compost. Recommended assembly tools are screwdriver and adjustable wrench. However, a 3/8" nut driver sped up assembly of panels. Instructions are a little vague-pay close attention to alignment of octagonal end sides(Part A) when attaching first panel. Assembly hole template on end is different on the feed access panel (#8)side-rotate end side until it matches with other end side or else panels will not fit together tightly.

First time with a composter and bought two. Took two people an hour to put both together. You get into a groove and it was EASY once you start. Read all directions! Easy to spin and looks pretty big in person. My 2 3 and 4 year olds like adding scraps and spinning the bins FAST for me. EASY to use. EXCITED! Will buy one more (we go through a lot of fresh fruits and veggies) love! Super value for price.

Only had this product a couple of weeks, so no compost yet - and this review ONLY covers cost, delivery and ease of assembly. Cost: At least $20 cheaper than rival websites (Lowes, Home Depot etc). I'm cool with that... Delivery: Wow. FREE UPS Ground shipping direct from the manufacturer in MI and it arrived in just 4 days (not the 7-10 I expected). Assembly: Instructions were very easy to follow. But there are a LOT of screws (56 from memory) so I almost developed a blister on my thumb! Only downside was that they'd supplied 12 screws, and 5 nuts too many. So once everything was assembled, I began to freak at these extras. What had I missed?! But I went over everything again, and I'd used all the screws I should have. And now it's sitting there in the garden, doing its thing - one chamber already full of garden waste, and vegetable scraps. Can't wait for the results!

It is so exciting getting our first composter together. It was easy to assemble - especially with two of us working together. Our first batch is in the bin and we look forward to many as we alternate emptying one as another is "cooking". We think the two batch machine will work best for us.

So far so good. We've only had it a few weeks so I have no idea how well it will actually compost, but set up wasn't too bad (lots of small screws to put together--but easy enough for my young kids to help). Also, make sure you line up the two round sides correctly before you start attaching all of the middle pieces. (the section for the panel that opens has a different line up of holes). The instructions are confusing (useless) but it's easy to figure it out without instructions. Easy to add materials and easy to rotate. I'm very excited about it!

I am a beginner, yes. Overall, I feel happy with the tumbler. First, the price is much better than other places. Shipping is timely, answering my expectation. Regarding assembly process, my experience is good, very good. I am not technically smart, but I was able to complete it within 1 hour. But I did not use the instructions on the printout. Thanks to another reviewer comments, I was able to find online instructions, which make assembly an exciting and easy process. Ah, I have to say that with the tumbler, I can recycle a lot of things from home, which makes us really happy. So far, I have no problems or complaints about it. The reason why I give it 4 stars (while putting 5 stars on hold) is that I have the tumbler for only 8 days, and just started composting 6 days, I haven't got any compost finished yet. I am waiting to see my products. Thanks for giving me a chance to review the product.

I didn't realize why you need 2 people to assemble the tumbler until we started. The instructions definitely need to improve. We disassembled and reassembled probably 3 times. The parts are interlocking but without good instructions, one can not match up the parts correct the first time. For the money, it's an excellent tumbler to get started with.

The composter arrived on the day stated. The box was open, but all of the parts were there. It took about two hours to put together by myself. All I needed was a flathead screw driver and an adjustable wrench. The unit spins easily. It is not large, so check the dimensions to make sure it is the size you want. I think it is perfect for just the two of us. I really like having two chambers. It seems sturdy. The cost was right, a good value for the money. My daughter bought a much larger unit. I really prefer the compact size of the one I purchased. I definitely recommend this unit.

I am really happy with this. Nice and solid. I can't believe how easily it spins. My son just assembled it for me in about an hour. Luckily I had researched and read reviews online with assembly warnings. To call the assembly instructions "instructions" is a gross exaggeration. I'd give it 5 stars if it wasn't for that. Before you insert a single screw, check out the rectangular panels. Each of them has two SETS of holes on the short edges, however there is one panel that has THREE SETS of holes. This panel must attach to the roundish end panels on the edge that has THREE SETS of holes as well. There is an adjustable vent that is right next to that edge. The rest of the rectangles can go anywhere, but that one 3 set of holes panel can only go there.
