We have been wanting to try composting but our backyard is rather small. It's a good size for our family, and low to the ground so that the wind doesn't capsize it. It's easy to rotate and the lid is easy to open and close. I'd recommend it so far, but we haven't had our first batch of compost yet.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Only had it in use for less than 2 weeks. Easy to turn . Opening is a suitable size. Simple construction,thus less to break. Emptying may be an issue because it is so low to the ground.
Arrive on time as promised.

This started working before we had the lid on it! Ok that's an exaggeration, but it is excellent, especially compared to our last one! We love it, and would buy another one!

Item was easy to find online. The description is accurate. Fast delivery. Item is very sturdy. Delivery was fast. It's delivered in a large box so be prepared to set up immediately (very easy to do) or have the space to store temporarily.

Good quality construction. Vent holes are rather large and allow flys inside so the composting material is full of them. It's causing an indoors fly problem even though we keep the composter at the end of the property away from the house.
Yes, I recommend this product.

We were really excited about this composter! So much so, that our family of 5 filled it 3/4 in a little under 2 weeks! We need a larger one for our needs, but this is excellent back-up. Nice and effortless set-up, not hideous, somewhat easy to rotate (as long as not too full), easy access for those end of the day additions. Do wish that the opening were wider to allow for shoveling out once all is nice and compostey. Still not sure how that is going to work.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I purchased a Garden View 60 gallon spinning composter first. What a hunk of junk. Returned it and bought this one. This is is very solid. Made with only two pieces, the composter and the base. There is nothing to put together. It doesn't look very big but it holds a ton. It is very easy to use, has a nice tight seal and spins incredibly easily. I would highly recommend this product. Stay away from the other one.

A bit too low to the ground, but so far it seems to work just fine. Also, did not realize you cannot fill it up more than halfway so we should have gotten one larger for our needs.

We have been composting for about 5 yrs with one primary pile. Before purchasing the Junior Composter, we would transfer from the primary pile to multiple 20 gallon lidded pails. While it worked, it was a lot of work. The Composter Junior makes it a breeze. It holds a good amount (not wheel barrows full, though) of compost and retains the moisture well. Easiest thing in the world to set-up: Just pull it out of the box, and it is ready to go. We live in AZ, so we'll see how long it stands up to the sun and heat.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I like it! The size is right, it is not bad looking and it is easy to use. The instructions were good and gave us info on the type of materials that can and cannot be composted.

We have never had a composter so our son purchased one for my husband for his birthday. We love it! It's rather large, but we placed it on the corner of our patio for the winter and plan to move it under the deck for the summer. The barrel is easy to turn and the opening on the top to add items to be composted is large enough to offer convenience. We are looking forward to using the compost in our veggie garden and on our berry bushes next year.
Yes, I recommend this product.

Composter was larger than expected, which was a big plus
Assembly and setup was a cinch.
It is easy to put in scraps etc for composting and very easy to rotate.
Removing compost might be a chore since opening is not large enough for shovel.

Composter was easy to set up, has a nice large door for putting in yard waste, etc. and turns on the base easily.
Takes a little longer to make compost than I was hoping but does work.
