Easy to use
Simple to use and effective. It is large enough to have one batch of compost breaking down while starting on the next. It is easy to turn and doesn't take up too much space. In a year we have produced one batch of compost and are nearly ready for the second. We have not yet run out of room and the divider and dual system has worked well for us. We are able to compost food scraps, cardboard, paper and garden waste. It drains well with the breathing holes and days of wet weather have not turned the compost into sludge.
I would recommend reading all the instructions before assembling to avoid problems. We didn't and made it much harder than it had to be. It's a little bit of time to assemble but well worth the effort.

Makes composting fun and easy
It took about an hour to assemble - be sure not to waste time trying to get the divider to fit perfectly as the instructions indicate that it won't (this won't affect its performance). Also be sure that the last panels you assemble are near the doors for easy screwing together - otherwise if your last panels are opposite the doors, you'll need to lean all the way inside the barrel to assemble and it isn't easy!
I like that the barrel stands tall, so that I don't need to lean over to use it. It's a bit more work to rotate once it gets fairly fu...Read more
ll and heavy but it's not an issue. I had thought that the opening would be too small to empty the grass clippings from my lawn mower catcher directly into it, but this wasn't a problem. You can even compost the plain cardboard box that it comes in. It does dribble a bit of liquid out of the breathing holes sometimes when it's spinning, but I suppose this is to be expected - just stand back a bit before you spin. I find it's a really good size and it fits more than I expected - I keep thinking I've nearly filled it, but then it starts to break down and there's more room.Purchased in January 2021 at Bunnings Warehouse for $99.00.

Questions & Answers
Susi W.asked
We assembled the composter but, in relation to the rod that runs through the middle, the screws on the bolts only screwed up part of the way. Is this right, please?

Leanneasked
Can I take out the divider on this model and use it as one barrel?
Also, does the open doors detach, so they dont run into the legs when turning upside down to empty? Looks like they are wider than the frame when open
Thankyou

Yes, you can remove the divider (but then why not buy one large barrel to start with instead of paying more for a double?) and yes the doors slide out completely, but it will still be difficult to empty as the doors are too small.

Hi Leanne, as Lily mentioned you can take it out if you need one full drum. There are larger horizontal tumblers available if you need. For example our 245L tumbler has a divider which can be removed as well and it has much larger doors. If you have any more questions please feel free to call us tomorrow to discuss.
I thought I would start with one as a double barrel, but at times when I have got a lot of waste, I thought I can maybe go to two systems and use them as a large barrel each. But if the doors are too small for this it might not be a good idea...

I wouldnt put fish in. I think it would probably be extremely smelly. The little insects are probably vinegar flies. They are harmless.
