VIVOSUN Outdoor Tumbling Composter Dual Rotating Batch Compost Bin, 43 Gallon Orange Door

Yes, assembly took me about 90 minutes BUT it was simple. You do not need to be a mechanic to put this thing together - just need to take the time! It’s affordable and I like that I can move it around my yard if need to. I’m happy with the purchase so far, but I haven’t actually composed anything yet…

First, the pros: 1) Extra screws and nuts were provided. This is rare nowadays, but this came with 4 extra sets of screws and nuts and 2 extra center pipe end caps 2) The nuts are self-tightening: you only have to get them started a few turns then you can screw the screws from the outside (with the included Philips screwdriver) and they will tighten without having to hold the nut with your finger or a wrench. This is key since it is hard at times to wrap your arm inside of the bin to hold the nut while tightening the screw from the outside. 3) Thickness of the plastic is pretty good for what this is. It presents as fairly sturdy when assembled. 4) Large size. I got the 43 gallon model and I can tell it will hold a lot of compost. 5) The tumbler rotates smoothly and easily. 6) The legs are sturdy and easy to assemble. Now the cons: 1) not that easy to assemble. I'm 60 years old. I've been around the Ikea block several times. I've assembled huge pergolas and gazebos and carts and sheds and all varieties of machines and devices. I have every tool. I can do plumbing and electrical work, carpentry, both rough and finish, drywall, irrigation, tile and marble. I've done it all. But this wasn't that easy to assemble. The worst part was thinking the center divider should fit nicely into the center grooved channel that goes around the inside perimeter of the tumbler, when it doesn't even come close. I think the manufacturer said, "let's use one center divider for all the different tumblers we make, fit be darned." I spent more time trying to make the center divider panel fit than assembling the rest of the unit. Check out my pictures to see how poorly it fits. I tried flipping it over, rotating the divider every which way, but nope, didn't happen. 2) You have to work your way around the tumbler, adding one panel at a time. It was difficult at times to hold the panels in place while I was screwing them together. There are these raised, stubby posts that are supposed to snap into holes on the adjacent panels and many times the snap was not as snappy as it should have been. Some of the connections seemed a little loose but upon completion, the sides seem to have pulled together as a team and the weight of the compost may push the edges out enough so that those posts snug up against the holes. Summary: I believe this was worth the price and it will function well for several years.

So ima give it 4 starts because I received it cracked, pic loaded. But will adjust if needed. This took me exactly 58 mins. I was watching TV so maybe it can be adjusted. The amount of screws scared me! But it was simple. I did this as a woman on my own. Until the last 2 screws I Needed husband's assistance. It turns easily came with everything needed. Seems heavy duty 43 gallons. The size is extra large material seems sturdy and maybe will put weights on the legs if we have bad winds. The lid slide in tough so I don't think a animal can pull them away or take them off.

A little bit of a pain to put together but so is anything you have to build yourself. The dividing piece doesn’t fit perfectly, but it doesn’t matter. You’re still able to separate between the two sections. There are punctures for airflow and so far has held up well.

The item was just as described and appears to be well made and durable. The instructions were easy to follow, and everything came together without issue. It does take a little bit of time to put it together, but the end product feels sturdy.

Assembly was a real pain! The instructions were surprisingly good, and they included extra pieces and the only tool you need (a simple screwdriver). It seems sturdy, but is easy enough for 5’4” female me to move. Assembly involves MANY little screws in inconvenient places, and some unwieldy pieces! This is definitely a two-person job - it just makes it so much easier to reach and to hold things in place while it’s coming together. I mostly worked alone, and it took a couple hours.

Great value composter. It is easy to use and I like the separate compartments. It was a little difficult to put together, with some pieces not fitting flush. I would like for it to be a little sturdier on the base, as it tends to move a lot when rotated. Compact and good function. Easy to use and makes the compost easy to rotate!

This tumbler was easy to assemble. I did it by myself and it took me about an hour. I have no complaints at all. It seems durable and is working great. If I had listened to the comments talking about how difficult it is to put together I would lot have bought it. Thank goodness I didn’t.

This is the best compost bin I have ever had, it’s easy to assemble and cooks the compost quickly. It turns so compost is ready to use quicker than a stationary bin. One side can be emptied while the other is left to compost. Easy to use! We have been very happy with it!
