Miracle-Gro Dual Chamber Compost Tumbler – Outdoor Compost Bin, 2 Sliding Doors, (2 X 18.5 Gallon / 70 Liter)

It’s a basic tumbler with two chambers so you can start your compost at different times. To be honest, composting in the ground by burying the scraps works faster for me but I don’t have space in the garden to bury anything anymore. I don’t know how resistant the plastic to UV since I cover the whole thing all the time anyway. It also helps with keeping the compost warm.It comes in an unassuming flat box and the online instructions were easy to follow. I was able to put it together in less than half hour. The turning mechanism is smooth. Even at full capacity, it’s easy to turn the chambers to tumble the contains. The flaps aren’t easy to open so small children or animals wouldn’t be able to open them. I have no use for the lock mechanism that prevents the chambers from rolling but I tried it and it works. The holes in the chambers allow for air circulation but it also means that the compost juices will leak out. I put it on a patch of soil anyway so it’s not a problem for me but if you’ll do this on a patio or a balcony, put something under to catch the liquid. If you’re new to composting, just don’t forget to add some browns (cardboard, packing paper, dried grass or leaves) in there to prevent any smell.

This is really a great help to start composting. It was easy to assemble and is really sturdy once done. I love the fact that you can spin it easily and open the window panels to check on it. The only thing I do not like is the fact that it is dripping through the little air holes when you put water in it. It looks messy on my terrasse. I would advice to put it on a grassy patch if you can. Otherwise so far so good, I like it a lot.

This is my second Miracle gro composter. My first is a single chamber that I’ve had for years. I am so happy with its performance and ease of use that I decided to buy the same brand again, now that I. We’d an extra one. I have not been disappointed. If anything the design has been improved and the finished product is even sturdier than previously. I love the engineering of this product and cannot fault it at all. Easy to assemble and use.

Assembly was challenging as other reviews mentioned. It takes some strength and trial and error. I found that the clips will go in more easily if you put pressure on the inside above the clip for one side and below the clip for the other. Putting the top and bottom on was another challenge. The directions say to use force. However, I found they clip in more easily with gently pressure on the edge as long as the holes are aligned correctly.It seems sturdy enough so far. Will try to remember to update as I use it.

This was out 2nd try at a tumbling composter- assembly was easy after I contacted Miracle Grow for the assembly instructions - the responded right away- great customer service. The unit is sturdy, vented and tumbles easily. The full instructions were really helpful not only for assembly but for compost composition, temperature info and timing.

Got a few reviews mentioning this is a bit small, but after using it for 1 month, I have not filled up half of one of the bin. So far, I am loving it. Ps. we are 2 person household, cooking daily.

Works great and looks great. Snapping end panels together was a bit challenging but it worked out well. Love using it every day.
