Tumbling Compost Bin 160L Dual Chamber Rotating Composter Outdoor | Garden Compost Bin, BPA Free, Create Fertile Soil, Aerating Solid Frame, Black

Fixed this together with my son's help and it's great. Is a two person job but no problem just place all the nuts and bolts in separate containers, (don't over tighten the bolts guys), check and read the instructions before hand with a cuppa then go for it 👍🏻 there isn't a part missing they have slotted the doors in to place on one of the parts that is listed but if the instructions are read, it even explains this and why.. So all set up, and now full it has wet card board in (that's been soaked in the pond water, no print or tape on the cardboard) put grass cuttings in and old compost out old plant pots and is now composting as I type 👍🏻

This is an absolute game changer. I wasn't made aware that compost needs turning to actually happen (also accidentally set fire to my last compost bin) so when it came time for a new compost bin I decided a compost turner was the way forward. It works so well, houses several species of invertebrate quite happily and is producing compost nicely with no additives outside of water now and then. It is a real pain to build alone but as I have proven, it's possible. The partition is the main annoyance, and perhaps in future could have longer stabilising slots, perhaps with screws, the shape of the edge of it made no sense to me. I love that I can't over water it because it drains. I think when this one is full I may buy another as it holds a lot less than my old bin did. Why did you choose this product over others?: Best value and ratings within my price range

Don’t be put off by the comments about it being hard to make, because as a 43YO woman with the assistance of my 2YO toddler we made it with no issues at all. Looks great, feels very sturdy, great size and easy to fill.

I gave this one star less than it deserves and that is because the middle insert (the divider) is a nuisance. Get four sections on and put the divider in, make sure the arrows are facing the arrow on part B. GOOD LUCK KEEPING IT IN THE PLASTIC RUNNERS!!! I’ve removed the divider and it’s not going back in. Assembly instructions are straight forward. Assembly was straightforward enough for me as long as I remembered to put the screws and the nuts in far enough for the self locking nuts to bite and catch. I have fingers like bratwursts’ which makes the nuts very fiddly. I found the doors slightly larger than what the pictures portrayed, which is a good thing. The whole unit sits nicely. For functionality everything works well and it is sturdy. As far as composting capacity, I’ll be chopping everything up to small sizes just to help move the process along. So hopefully I’ll get a good 160 litre capacity. Now, as far as it goes for value for money, I’ve literally just purchased a second one before writing this review. It is great value for money! I know, I gave it four stars but for a valid reason on assembly. Do I really need the divider.. So I have purchased a second one in order to make full use of the discount and to gain 320 litres of composting capacity for under £100. As a retiree, I’ll be looking forward to future composting and I have zero doubts that this item will pay for itself time and time again.

It took me a week to build this! Admittedly I did it alone, and I'm 70 (not that this should make any difference - I'm well used to putting flatpack etc together). All the holes lined up, which was a plus, but there were a total of 56 tiny screws and nuts, most of which you couldn't see once you started adding the panels - you had to do it by feel; not that much of a problem once I got into a rhythm. The instructions weren't very clear; quite small, only vague pictures with arrows pointing here and there. I enlarged them on my scanner. I think it's just as well I did this on my own - if I'd have had 'help' I think we'd have killed each other by the end!! When all is said and done, I am very happy with the result.

What can I say ,very well made and fits together easily ,even the divider no probs ,just use a small electric screw driver ,not the screwdriver that it comes ,I imagine it would be a nightmare to assemble with that, 77 year old male on my own, electric screwdriver ,30 minutes start to finish ,hope this helps .

The first challenge is the poorly printed and largely unhelpful instructions. Unacceptable. Assembled it appears quite robust, the challenge is assembling it as all fastening require one hand inside the drum and one outside. Access becomes an issue nearing completing fixing the drum panels. I had to work out in my head the sequence so that I didn’t make final assembly difficult to impossible. The provision of a handle would have been helpful. Spinning the drum when lightly laden is easy. Nearing getting full, will that still be case. I wonder?

The Dripex Tumbling Compost Bin arrived right on schedule and in a good, sturdy box—always a nice first impression. Everything was well-packed, and to my pleasant surprise, no extra tools were needed. The seller thoughtfully included a small screwdriver, which made the whole process feel just that little bit more user-friendly. Now, let’s talk about the instructions. They could definitely be better laid out, and a larger sheet with clearer visuals wouldn’t go amiss. That said, if you’ve ever tackled flatpack furniture (and survived to tell the tale), you’ll be just fine. I managed to assemble it in about 30 minutes, and although it felt a bit flimsy at first, once the panels started coming together, it firmed up nicely into a solid unit. One small design flaw: it doesn’t come with a turning handle. While this isn’t a problem when it’s empty, I can see it being a bit of a chore once it’s full of compost. A handle would’ve made the tumbling process smoother, especially for those of us who prefer to turn compost and not turn ourselves into contortionists. That said, I’m happy with the overall quality so far. On initial look and feel, I can recommend this compost bin—especially for beginners or anyone starting to build their composting routine at home. Time will tell how it holds up to regular use, but first impressions are promising.
