I owned and used the tumbler under normal conditions for two years. After the first year the bolts that fasten the axle to the stand broke. So, I replaced them. After two years the barrel is splitting at the seams where the axle passes through. The bin is not and has never been full and the drain plug has been removed to allow for the liquid to escape (i.e., less weight). Even if it was full, I would expect the components to be designed to handle the advertised capacity. It should last longer than a couple of years.

Easy to put together..built strong..overall it is a great purchase!

This is a great tumbler and works well. I am now ordering my second one.

It's ok. I had trouble getting this thing together. Certain pieces are meant to go together, but don't quite fit. Started rusting almost immediately. Easy to turn and mix up, harder to remove the divider to separate decomposing stuff from usable compost. Decent product. Only one I've ever had, so not a lot to compare it to. By the online reviews, seems like there something wrong with all of these. I think this is probably a safe option.

So far so good …only had it for a few days so we will see how it works. It has a larger opening than many that we looked at to put scraps and clippings in. Very happy with size
