Marcytop Compost Tumbler, Easy Assemble & Efficient Outdoor Compost Bin, 45 Gallon/170 Liter Large Dual Chamber Rotating Composter for Garden, Kitchen, and Yard Waste, Orange Door

This is a surprisingly sturdy tumbler and is larger than I expected. It was super easy to put together and I assembled it by myself in about 20 minutes. Each side holds a large amount of garden waste, is sturdy, and keeps everything contained neatly. Turning these are easy and very stable. It doesn’t completely prevent flies, but it’s easy to mitigate if needed. This also allows excess water to drain easily so you don’t have any buildup or puddles inside. Overall, this is a great tumbler for the price!

I've had my compost tumbler for about 9 months and I'm extremely happy with it. It's easy to assemble, easy to load and composts quickly, especially if you live in a hot climate. My only recommendation is to keep the two units unattached to each other so you can tumble only one at a time because they can get pretty heavy, especially after it rains. You have the option to connect the two tumblers but then they are harder so spin due to the weight of the compost. Definitely highly recommend.

I chose this one because of the easy assembly reviews. Directions were fairly clear, could have been pictures of the bolts and screws to help the less adept (me). The clips that 'snapped' in to hold the sections were very hard to push into place. We finally figured out laying it on the floor and pushing down was the most successful way for us to do it. Overall, it went together in about an hour and is exactly what we wanted.

I’m new to composting and after reading numerous reviews and comparing bins, I chose this Marcytop for a few reasons. While a bit pricier at $129 -15% coupon, the 2 drums are larger at 22.5 gal each, the height is 43 inches once assembled, the garden appeal with the bright orange buckle inserts (green and yellow also available), and the ease of assembly. It was like LEGOs for adults and quite fun putting it together. The most difficult part of assembly is snapping the connecting brackets together. If you lay the panels flat, side by side, inside facing up, pushing down on the brackets with a little ‘umph’ snaps them together easily. DON’T FORGET to slide in the black plate inserts to each drum before closing the drum. (I almost did!) Once assembled and small screws applied, a second pair of hands is ideal to place the drums on the legs and fasten together. Since this bin does not have a thermometer, I purchased one separately to monitor the compost. Overall, this compost bin seems sturdy and durable and the exterior easy to clean with a water hose. Will repost in the near future and give feedback on how it stands in the Florida heat and storms. NOTE: There are no spare parts or extra screws.

WOW! Just WOW! I am very pleased with this composting product. It seems to be very sturdy and strong. I am using it as we live on a preserve and get a lot of mice, racoons etc.. and I wanted an enclosed compost bin. I tested the spinning and can see that if an animal jumps up onto the unit, it will spin freely and the animal will not be able to chew it's way in. Thanks for this great product that fits my needs!!

Easy assembly even for someone that hates puzzles! Light weight enough that I could manage everything by myself. Looking forward to using it.

I, like a lot of humans who are concerned where this country may be headed wanted to start doing more things with my land. I’ve been wanting to start gardening and composting for a while now. I did a lot of research before finally biting the bullet and making this purchase. I wanted two sides. I wanted it to be sturdy and I NEEDED it to be reasonably easy to put together. I did not want 10,000 screws and I didn’t want to have to bend over backwards to get the pieces together. This one was a little more expensive than some of the others online but it seemed to really hit all those marks! I opened it today and was able to put it together in roughly 40 minutes all by myself! I used a rubber mallet (definitely recommend), a small screw gun (also recommend) and I used the tiny wrench provided for the large screws to attach the baskets to the stand. I recommend attaching all the joint panels in a line PRIOR to attaching them to the side panels. If you don’t it will become difficult to attach each panel to the next with the connecting buckle. I did it the way the instructions said to do it for the first chamber and did it the way I just said for the second chamber and it was WAY easier. I used the rubber mallet to attach the connecting buckles to the joint panels and then I used it to bang the panels to the side panels. Other humans who have stronger ability to push the pieces together may be able to do it without the mallet but for it it hurt my hands. Using the mallet worked well. They do provide a small screw driver for the screws needed to solidly secure the side panels to the joint panels but my small screw gun was much faster and didn’t hurt it at all. I’m going to start using this today but it seems super sturdy and was so easy to put together it was not overwhelming. If it ends up sucking I will update this review but so far it’s landing perfect!!

I was very excited about the potential for this composter. It was more expensive than its similarly constructed competitors, but I was looking forward to ease of assembly because of the snap- together design. I was sorely disappointed. For starters One of the cover inserts was missing. I don’t believe it will affect the functionality, but all of the panels do not look the same. The couplers that fasten the side pieces together are extremely difficult to snap onto the side pieces. I am a female with relatively large hands, and extremely good hand strength, and I struggled to fix the panels together. There must be a better way to construct the couplers so that it is not so difficult to snap the side panels together. The final problem was in the rod that attaches the tumblers to the frame. The holes were not board straight through (they were angled), so attaching the second side to the frame was almost impossible. I ultimately had to force the screw through from the bottom up so that I could see the top hole and use a screwdriver as a lever to force the screw toward the hole that was off center. Extremely difficult to fasten the tumblers to the frame. I would have given this a two, but the shipping was very fast and I believe that this will function well, so I bumped it up to a three. I love the double barrel design, and the size is just right for my needs. It is not physically overly large,so it will fit nicely in the corner of a yard.
