Dripex Tumbling Compost Bin 160L, Dual Chamber Rotating Composter, Compost Tumbler Tumbling Composter, BPA Free, Create Fertile Soil, Aerating Compost Tumbler Bin, 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.

A bit fiddly to construct but seems robust.Could give a more detailed account once it has produced some compost.

My garden is too small for ‘proper’ composting, so I took a chance on this tumbling compost bin. It arrived as a flat pack, but went together very well, and is surprisingly solid once built. But does it compost? Yes, and not too bad a result either. You do have to give it a bit of a birl every day, but it didn’t take that long for the contents to start breaking down to something usable. It has two compartments, and I started one a few weeks before the other. I now have a bit of a ‘system’ going of having these compartments happily breaking down garden waste alternately. Thanks to the tip from another reviewer on here, I also keep an old cat litter tray underneath the tumbler, to catch the ‘juices’, which I use to water my little apple trees.

Product was easy to assemble but involved lots and lots of tiny bolts, not a big deal just allow yourself time to build this. The box easily to all of the clipping from my 100 x 30 foot lawn, along with a 100ft hedgerow. and turned it to compost within a month using some accelerator tablets. I wish the legs were longer so I could get a wheel barrow underneath, as emptying the drum is quite fiddly, the doors are small so can't get a shovel in there. Will probably stand it on some blocks for a little boost in height

Much thought has gone into the design of this but the instructions are a bit minimal. There are locating lugs to help position the panels as you bolt it together. Feeling for the bolt threads with the nuts can be confused by these lugs, and you have to work by feel as all is black inside. Sort out the larger nuts for the frame bolts beforehand as they look similar but won’t grip the barrel bolts. There are spares of both sizes thoughtfully provided. A screwdriver is also provided but no spanner, but there isn’t much space to use a spanner and the plastic probably wouldn’t stand over tightening anyway. Once assembled it looks sturdy enough but time will tell if it will do the job so I can’t give it 5 stars yet.
