Hi Brandon. I have one of them. I purchased it at Sams club, last year. It works well. Last season I made a great compost. This season its moving slower. Can't get the ratios right. But I still like mine. Good luck. ....
Do you have an update on how these tumblers have worked for you? I recently purchased some myself and would love an update which including tips, suggestions, etc.
I snapped one of the locking pins off of mine by trying to spin it without checking to see if it was locked first. Also, one of those little corner brackets on the bottom of the cube is coming off. Someday might just bust through. Oh well, still makes compost for now. Eventually I wanna get the Joraform 270.
I had the same exact problem you are talking about, & what I did was went & got some 𝗝⌁𝗕 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗹𝗱-𝘄𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗽𝗼𝘅𝘆 & just pretty much started to spread it all over that corner part, made sure it was in there correctly, & flipped the tumbler upside down so that there was no force on it while it dried, just so that it could cure correctly & stay in the position I had it in. After about 24 hours that piece wasn’t going anywhere, & still till this day, no matter how much I spin it that corner piece never comes off, not even a wiggle out of it, & it used to come off literally every single time I spun it. So if you’re still dealing with that issue I’d definitely try this out.
My mini electric composer has bit the dust so I'm in the market for something larger. I have a question about liquid. My composer produces a lot of liquid depending on what I put in it of course. Do you have a problem with compost liquid? How easy is it for a weak women to turn when it's full? How often do you turn it?
I have the same from Costco. The metal on the inside rusted so bad that you cant turn it to open. I just took off the metal stuff on the inside and put a hinge on the outside. The hinges in the inside of any tumbler will not last.
Není vše tak jak je na instruktážních videích. Po naplnění kompostéru je docela obtížné s nim otočit. Uzavírací mechanizmus je vyroben obyčejné ocele. Po roce provozu je totálně rezaté. Prodejci udávají, že dojde k urychlení procesu kompostování. Je tomu naopak. Žížaly v normálním kompostéru přemění organické zbytky rychleji než tento kompostér.
Can't wait to see the update on how well these worked out for you. Still have not decided on a composter for myself.
Nice! Would like to see the update on how it did!
Good looking compost tumblers Brandon!
Thanks, maybe I will have some compost as good as yours!
looks great - interested to see how they work out for you this season for I've been thinking about getting something like this too.
Brandon Marshall I'm sure you will!

Good for when you have limited space. I have too much to compost, I'd have to have 10 of those. Will be nice to see how well it works.
Same here, to compost everything I have it would be a huge pile! Start small and maybe work our way up.
Did the latch mechanism lock you out yet with the rust?
If it does, like mine did, just drill it out and replace with the external latches
How is your composting coming along using your new tumblers
I bought the same one from the same place last year. It works well. $150, IIRC.
P.S.- you'll want to get some pavers under each "foot" so it doesn't sink into the clay. I didn't, it sank, then I did. Much better.
I so need a system like this
I like the explanations that is so detailed and to the point of the topic so i subscribed.. thanks . need update pls thanks
how are they now that you've had them for 3 years?
Cool toy! -Eric
Those tumblers really look nice Brandon Marshall, I really like that! How much did you get it for at Costco? Great video.
At Costco store locally it is was $150, their website was $180 w/ free S&H. Amazon is selling it for $250 as well as most everyone else.

+charles reinhardt thanks for the info i wonder if oiling it once in awhile can avoid that?
Looks great. Update please.
try standing next to them so that we can see the scale.
just wondering why did you copyright this video
I've had mine for 2 years and was doing great now it's all rusted :(. I wouldn't recommend it overtime use
We've had ours for 5 years and it/they still work great. BTW, we live near the beach, salt air destroys most everything cheap here.
Mine has rusted, too. Hard to open. I live near the ocean also.
