Title: Not Difficult to Assemble, but Requires Hand Strength
Review: This truly was not difficult to assemble, but it does require good hand strength. If you go online and follow the step by step picture guide it is very easy to follow and get the assembly done in a reasonable amount of time. Make sure the small brackets that you hold the pieces of the barrels together with are in as far as they can go or your barrel pieces will not stay together. I laid them flat on the floor to put together, which made it a bit easier. Putting the small brackets in is the hardest part and it is harder if you don't have much hand strength. I recommend placing something solid under the area you will have to push on (this support helps the brackets go in easier). Then I pulled them up on their side very slowly to attach the first side of the barrel. After that, the rest is easier. ***NOTE: Please make sure that when doing anything with the 2 panels that have the yellow & green doors on them that you follow the instructions EXACTLY as far as what directions they need to go in. If you don't the composter will not be able to function at all.This is a great composter so far. It was very light to move to get it outside where we wanted it; I did it alone, even going down a few steps.So far it seems to be really solid and I am hoping it will hold up for a number of years.The venting holes are small enough so that it should really focus the heat good and cause the composting to work fairly quickly. The really small holes also prevent pests from getting into the compost barrels, which is very good. Do expect such things as flies and maggots to be present because that is natural with decomposing food scraps.****I really feel this is a great investment for multiple reasons, 1) Reducing garbage 2) Gaining Organic fertilizer 3) Reducing what goes to garbage dumps 4) Increasing recycle material that is actually recycled

Title: As advertised
Review: 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.

Title: Pros and con
Review: Overall, this is definitely worth the investment for something basic. I live alone, and don't have trash pickup, so I just use it as a means to keep organic matter out of the house, and only have to go to the dump once a month!Pros:Price-decent pro what it is and in comparison to similar items.Size-initially I was concerned about it being too small, but it's actually much larger than it appears in photos. I had a brown grocery bag filled to capacity with compost stuff, and it all fit in one container, with enough roomto spin.Durability- so far this seems fairly durable. It is high grade plastic, so I was worried it would start to fall apart and the elements. But it seems completely fine, even with the constant rain and heat of Florida.Cons:Assembly-so, the photo walkthrough was helpful, but still slightly confusing. I figured it out eventually, but had to take something apart halfway through and redo it. Also, putting on the sides of the containers is pretty difficult. I'm not a weak person, I lift weights and have great grip strength, but it was still more work than I expected to have to do. If you aren't the kind of person that naturally has a lot of elbow grease, it's going to be a struggle. I would recommend having a rubber mallet or a hammer in a towel to get it to be easier!Also, putting the rod through the center of both canisters was really difficult! There's a little screw and nut that's just sitting inside one of the pieces and when you turn it on its side then that falls out, and you have to take it back apart, find the nut, and start all over. It's a balancing act in a game. Thankfully once it's assembled you don't have to worry about it, but it was definitely obnoxious fighting with that rod and the nuts and bolts!That's the only kind I really ran into. Honestly, once I finally had it assembled, it's been really easy to use!

Review: 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.

Review: 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.

Review: 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.
