Miracle-Gro Single Chamber Compost Tumbler (27.7gallon /105 Liter)

Just what I was looking for. It’s the perfect size if you have minimal space and don’t have the save for or don’t need the double. It wasn’t difficult to put together and you just scan the code for detailed directions. The main reason I went with the Miracle Grow one… I read comments and someone had said that customer service was quick with help when needed. I have lately been having issues with missing pieces or damaged items so I thought this was a huge selling point for me. Boy was I glad I did. When I received my box it had a giant hole in the top at the folds. I thought eh, it’s a big hole but the pieces are big so I’m sure it’s fine. Well I waited like a dang month to open it. Procrastination at its finest. When I did sure enough the middle bar for spinning it was missing. Probably fell right outta that dang hole. I do not blame miracle grow at all this is shipping 100%. So I immediately emailed Miracle Grow. It was Sunday but Monday morning at like 9 am I got a response. I sent them the info they needed and by 5am the next morning they had packed it up and it was ready to ship. Honestly USPS is snail mail and I mean bad! But I am patient and was just so pleased that this was handled so quickly. I was so glad I chose to go with Miracle Grow. Got the part a week later and all is good. Put it together and am very happy. 😊

[INITIAL 2020 REVIEW] As a heads up, the product does not come with paper assembly instructions, so you will need to go online to get them. While I like the idea of cutting down on paper, I always find omitting the instructions in particular to be a real nuisance and makes a product immediately less consumer-friendly. The main issue, however, is that getting the side walls of the product to properly snap together is a challenge. I couldn't seem to get things properly aligned and, when the directions online said to use a little force, the only thing I accomplished was buckling and snapping some of the side connections (note: I have minimal upper arm strength, and can say honestly that I was not exerting much actual force so this was surprising to me.) Because the product is now slightly broken, I'm going to need to find my own way to fit it together and mend any unintended gaps so that it can be (hopefully) functional. This is likely going to impact it's long-term stability and effectiveness, so I can't rate how the product actually works when assembled successfully. Overall, this was supposed to be my first foray into composting, so I'm a bit disappointed that I'm off to such a bad start. I think the product design could be tweaked a little to make assembly easier. It looks like it should be straightforward to put together, but even the slightest misalignment appears very difficult to correct and throws the whole thing off. If it had been able to assemble smoothly, I would otherwise have been very happy with the size and overall design of the product. [1 YEAR UPDATE - 2021] I refused to give up on this little composter. After a few weeks of huffing at the half-finished assembly every time I walked by it and occasionally attempting to wrangle all the connections together, I was finally able to fully assemble it. The side connection area I accidentally snapped in my initial assembly attempt didn't appear too noticeable in the end, either. Since assembling it, I have been using it for a full year and it's still holding steady. Yes, it was a headache and a half to put together - and I still think that's worth considering before you buy it - but in my case, it turned out to be worth it. I've found it's really easy to use and it does its job quite well. It doesn't take up a lot of space in the yard and is very discrete (it does fill up quick though! I find myself wishing I had bought the double composter option so I could start a second batch.) I would tentatively recommend this product for those who have the dexterity and patience for the initial assembly - or those who know someone else who can be tasked with assembling it for them! With this in mind, I've revised my rating from "1 star" to "4 stars." Happy composting!

This is the perfect size for my little yard. Easy to move when needed, unlike the ones that have two drums. If I need to add a second drum, I can move the units separately into spots that fit the small units and I’m not restricted to a larger area that the bigger ones need. This composter actually holds quite a lot. I’m still filling it up. When it’s full I will add a second one so they can tag team each other. I had no issues putting it together (70 year old female!). The directions show them stretching the clips apart a little and that helps. Some of the clips took a little more ‘nudging’ to get them to snap into place, but if I can do it with arthritis a younger person should have no issues. It’s very sturdy and revolves easily. I have lots of flower pots and flower beds and I’m looking forward to topping them off with my compost next Spring.

Easy assembly, I didn't download or read the instructions, assembly was kind of obvious. I took my time, so about 30 minutes to put it together. If you own a screw driver and have the technical skill to replace a light bulb you shouldn't have any trouble. It came with an extra clip and one extra screw of each type, which is good customer service. Based on some of the reviews I was prepared to epoxy the joints to keep it together, but that wasn't needed. It snaps together solid. Given the cost I didn't have high expectations. It is better than I was expecting.

Easy to assemble and to use. Works very well

El Miracle-Gro 18.5gal (70L) con tamaño perfecto para un balcón. Junto en envases en el refrigerador, los desechos vegetales de un mes y los composto junto con las hojas y flores que caen a nuestro balcón. La primera vez tarda 6 semanas, después con un poco de esa tierra nueva, vierto los nuevos desechos y tarda 4 semanas aprox. Tiene orificios en las esquinas, recomiendo poner un cartón o bandeja abajo, para recoger el líquido que escurre, limpiar la superficie con cada cambio de composta. Es perfecto para los desechos que se generan al cocinar para dos personas.

Small and compact, but that is what I was looking for. The assembly can be a little tedious. I laughed at the *use force" step, Force alone won't do it, you need to make sure the tabs are aligned before any force is used. Some gentle force and finesse would be more like it. However, in the end, it all came together nicely and sturdily. It was assembled in a reasonable amount of time, but I could definitely see some people that aren't too handy struggling with it. I'm happy with it overall. (Now to get the compost process going...) Update: Upgraded to 5 stars. Since using it, I've ordered a 2nd one! This one came together great, experience helps. Having 2 small tumblers is even better!
