RSI-MAZE 65 Gal. Two Stage Tumbling Composter - Black

OMG!! I was totally ready to have a "battle" putting this thing together, after reading all the reviews of missing parts, poor instructions and just plain time consuming. I opened the package at 6:30PM, laid out all parts

This composter is great for the price! It is super big and sturdy. The handle makes it easy to turn around and mix and there's even two separate sections so you can add more compost material super easily. My plants are growing so big with the help of this composter.

This tumbler is very easy to use and to turn. We ordered the bigger size and are happy with the size.

This composer does exactly what's advertised - it makes tons of compost and keeps it mixed up and it's a breeze to empty! The split composting capabilities are also sick and very eco friendly!

We bought this as a Christmas present for our son. It took him about 2 1/2 hours to put together. It went together fairly easily, but the packaging for the screws, etc. could have been much better with separate packaging with labeling for the different screws. Seems to be very well made and it turns easily. Too soon to let you know how well it composts.

When putting together, be sure to pay attention to the screw size because they're interchangeable but they make a big difference at the end. We live in VT and the door froze shut - I gently tapped it with a rubber mallet to get it open. Also, turning the drum so that what's inside falls against the door breaks the ice loose on the door. Very happy to have this, it keeps the critters out.

After researching composters for a couple months I decided on the Maze. I was nervous about assembly but hubby said it was not difficult to assemble, just time consuming. (watching assembly video was helpful) I have started filling it with leaves, shredded paper bags, greens from the lawn, garden and kitchen. It is fall so I will not see any compost until Spring but decided to start using it anyway and put in a protected spot on the side of our shed to see how it handles our cold windy winter weather in Upstate NY. Love the ease of use and size. Hopeful for some great compost next year!

Not only did each piece of this piece of equipment fit together perfectly, but the instructions were fantastic! I am so used to garbage instructions that are just a horrible picture with maybe an arrow or two. These instructions were spot on including tips that were added for steps that were a bit more difficult! The composted looks great and is well made and should provide many years of service.

Well constructed of fairly thick plastic. The gear mechanism is made of the same plastic so I'm curious how it holds up over time. Well laid out instructions although it does take a couple of hours to assemble. Walmart had the best pricing by far. Only real dislike is that the lids don't always close securely (I often have like a 1/4" gap) and can slide out of the tracks when you open them fully.

Of course the part that would be broken is the teeth on the most critical part. We are waiting to see if we have to repack the entire thing or if they will replace only that part. If so we'll update this review, but right now it's a $200 mistake.
