FCMP Outdoor IM4000 Dual Chamber Tumbling Composter Canadian-Made, 100% Recycled Resin - Outdoor Rotating Compost Tumbler Bin for Garden, Kitchen, and Yard Waste, Black (37 Gallon)

I’ve been wanting to start composting for a while but didn’t want to deal with a messy pile in the corner of my yard. This tumbler turned out to be the perfect solution — neat, efficient, and surprisingly fun to spin! 😊I really like the size. At 37 gallons, it’s just right for handling our kitchen scraps and yard clippings. It’s large enough to get a good compost batch going, but not so big that it takes forever to fill.So far, there have been no foul smells — I think the ventilation system is doing its job well. The rotating mechanism is smooth and makes mixing super easy. The bin itself is sturdy and well-made.I assembled it by myself in about an hour, though I imagine it would’ve been a bit easier with a second person.I’m really happy with this purchase. It’s made composting convenient and manageable, and I know my garden will thank me. Highly recommend for anyone looking to reduce waste and improve their soil naturally!

Needed to find a more accessible compost bin. Our large compost bin will still be used for yard waste, etc but it's too hard to turn the materials deep down. Have been interested in compost tumblers that meet these criteria: made in America or Canada, tough enough for northern winters, discourages wildlife access, large enough to heat up the materials to form compost, easy to fill and empty, not too heavy for a senior to move.This composter is Canadian which I trust much more than a Chinese built unit. Canadians know winter and this composter appears solid.First, ignore the reviews stating this compost tumbler is difficult to put together. 68+ lady here, and it's not hard at all. Just takes time. As others suggest, watch a few videos on the assembly and you are good to go. I used a Phillips screwdriver, pliers.The assembly took about an hour but I took my time. Hint: if you assemble this indoors as I did, use the box to cover your floor/carpet. The support stand width is about 28" across at the bottom, not 24". Be careful to assemble the stand pieces correctly.There are two longer bolts...set these aside as they are for securing the main bar to the stand, one on each end.The black plastic tube covering the main steel bar comes in one piece, not two as shown in some assembly videos. After placing the two end pieces with the separator in-between onto the bar (they flop all over and slide during this step), secure the bar onto the stand with the two longest bolts.Then you are ready to place and attach the panels, one at a time, securing each panel as you go. The company provided a few extra bolts and nuts which is appreciated. Be sure to watch a couple videos as you need to have the end panels with the vents exactly the same, ie be sure the vents are in line. If the vents are not lined up the same, panels assembly will not work.Each panel fits only one way and snaps into place, but you must bolt them into place securely. They snap into place as an assistance with assembly. Be careful to tighten the bolts snug but don't over tighten as you may crack the panel.Panels are secured with the included nuts and bolts. Fit the separation panel into the slots built into the panels as you go. This takes a little work but I did fine even with arthritic hands.One big plus is the large sliding cover. It slides either way and can easily be taken off for access to the interior. This is much better than two separate small covers. Plenty of room to dump a pail of vegetable waste without spillage.Seems like a well built composter. The plastic is heavy duty, thick. More manageable than the giant bin we've used for decades. We don't have bears in our area, just the regular curious wildlife. Likely, the critters won't be interested in the composter. Even if they are, it will take work to chew it or open it.We are looking forward to years of composting with this tumbler.

Items were all there, easy instructions. No tools for set up so your going to need your own tools. Havnt used it yet but have heard the legs give out overtime so we shall see. Upon building, i was trying to put in the second screw on the bar of what holds the bin and the bar slipped off and the first screw bent. Wish it had end caps for the bar but its cool. The divider inside is not secure enough and i feel the ammount of soil could push it out of the secure tabs. I feel it will pass on composting but the weight over time and the weather may cause the legs to go out before the bin. I'm sure as all things the black color may fade to grey but I don't care as long as it does it's job. The plastic is pretty firm so we shall see how it holds up. The size is good and big but the ammount of soil in return for 1 bin would be enough to top off a 4x4 bed by an inch so if it works I will order more to sustain my garden. So far seems worth the price. If the bin lasts and I need to rebuild legs I will.

This composter is surprisingly well-made. The frame is sturdy. The plastic is solid and strong. The design works perfectly. Assembly was a bit tedious--lots of screws--but not at all difficult. All the pieces fit just right and there were no missing or defective parts. The unit is much larger than I expected. It's perfect for all my kitchen waste plus grass clippings. It doesn't leak at all so far. I recommend this product and would order it again for sure.
