Crystals 65L Garden Compost Bin, Rotating Tumbling Composter Bin for Garden, Barrel Rotating Composter with Air Holes (with Plastic Legs)

Nice item, seems sturdy enough. Put together in 10 minutes. Spins well, started using it straight away. Looking forward to seeing the results. Takes up minimal space at the top of my garden.

I was excited because I thought this was going to be one of those smug little “built in 10 minutes” situs. Unfortunately, the final piece of the little wall section had other ideas. A small amount of swearing occurred. Nothing outrageous. The sort of swearing where neighbours hear it and think, “Ah, DIY.” At that point I regrouped properly: cup of tea, chocolate biscuit, quiet reflection on my own limitations as human. Came back in and eventually forced the final piece into submission. Then came the large side section, which apparently requires the hand strength of somebody who opens coconuts recreationally. The chap in the instructional video popped the pieces in like he was closing a Tupperware lid. Meanwhile I’m there introducing a trusty rubber mallet into proceedings not something you’d ever see on Repair Shop. More gentle swearing while attaching the second leg, but eventually victory was achieved. All in all: one hour, two teas, two Tim Tams, one rubber mallet, and a slightly damaged sense of pride. That said, the product itself is actually really good for the price, and it’s exactly the right size for a small garden.

First time composter, so thought this might be a good start, was quite easy to put together, had a bit of trouble with the small screw on the stand, but kept at it until I got it right, started to fill it and doing a lot of online research as to the best way to compost. I’d say for the money it is a good buy, it’s neat and compact seems sturdy enough and I find it easy to spin, time will tell if I get any compost

Seemingly OK, but an utter pig to put together. The inner pole and the green clips being the most fiddly. I hope it was worth all the cursing! You definitely need strong fingers for this build.

I have a small garden so this was ideal. It is easy to fill and easy to turn. Found it easy to follow the instructions although the last piece cracked a bit but was still ok to use. Seems sturdy enough and I thought it was quite good for the money.

Very poor and cheap product, the pieces are not fit for size as per pictures, almost impossible to get it to fit basically ended with a botched finish. Not confident this will last a few weeks as when the weight of the materials are added it'll likely split apart. Also the instruction manual within the box shows a different build method to the video on the listing, seller can't even build to included instructions.

Arrived safely and quickly. I found it very easy to assemble, with a slipper as a soft hammer. Video instructions helped make the assembly easier although the 2 screws that hold the bar in place through the middle had square heads and I found it hard to find a tool to screw them in tight enough, also the bar has small holes at either end and not sure why as it's not long enough to get the screws in. The lid is a bit tight to slide open at first. Overall I really like the look of the roller and hope it performs well. I will shred some paper up and line it as have tea and coffee grounds and they may slip through the holes. I give it 4 stars mainly because I don't know how it will perform yet.

It arrives as a flatpack. I love it, it’s just the right size for my small garden. I love the rotating drum. It helps to speed up the composting process. My brother has seen mine and is now going to buy one for himself.
