“This is the best composter ever invented. It actually works, unlike the other composters. If you live in an apartment, this is the only way to go. Worms are not for me and I travel a lot anyway so can't take care of those nasty little critters. As some people noted you have to set it up correctly in order to avoid odors. It will jam if you use paper. The instructions are not entirely...” --Pandit
“We've been using this for years, but since our veggie & fruit intake has increased, this is not big enough. We are a household of four adults with two eating a produce box of food a week. If you are small family eating a regular amount of veggies, it works great. Taking it out every day keeps the fruit flies down. It never stinks, which is great.It cleans/disinfects well in the dishwasher.” --
“This is a best-seller at Growandmake.com and we have consistently good feedback and reviews, with no customers every returning one. You can watch our video on it at here: http://www.growandmake.com/grow-it/compost/envirocycle-spinning-composter-with-compost-tea-maker-base-2.html” --Growandmake
“I've only had this compost bin for a few weeks, but I like it so far. First off, it's made of 100% recycled plastic. Awesome. Secondly, it's easy to use. The instructions said it was supposed to come with some hardware, but didn't. But I don't see why it would need hardware anyway. You just put down the base, put the bin on the base, and spin it. It seems to me like if you were to attach...” --dana1981
“I have owned this composter for a while now. The literature says that I can actually "harvest" a load of composted material once month. I find that that is not true for me. It seems to me that a person must really load the tumbler quite full before the organic material will heat up enough to decompose. AS a suburban dweller, I don't generate enough waste to load it up each time. When...” --MagdalenaC
“I started with a home-made bin from Sterlite type containers and this one is definitely an upgrade. I like the ease of dealing with the 3 levels I got and adding food and cleaning. Problems I have had are worms falling through the bottom and clogging the spigot - fixed by putting a layer of garden cloth in the bottom of the first level. Also the worms squeeze between the walls up from the...” --Sherrye
“I love this set-up. I used to have a home-made worm habitat that was heavy and bulky and ugly - but it WORKED. Then TopLine had a sale and I got my new sleek designed multi-level worm farm. It makes harvesting the liquid fertilzer MUCH easier, and soon I will have some composted soil to kick-start my garden. I keep it inside so my worms stay busy year-round, they just slow down a little in...” --Sherrye
“place all cooked food, bones, etc and trash cans remain odor free. pests do not seem to notice what is placed in the cone. love it” --ecopreneur
“This might be a good introduction to composting and is certainly better than nothing, it works, but the doors are hard to open, the black plastic gets really hot in zone 6, it's hard to "fluff" and yes, you still need to fluff. Price wise it was cheaper than most, but still not cheap! I'm gonna stretch out on a limb and say a tube of garden fence 3 cubic feet might be just as effective and a...” --smrt2bcute
“This was free because I attended a Warwick Township (Lancaster, Pennsylvania) composting workshop at the municipal building. It's very easy to use. It's big, and it's open on the bottom so ground works can get in all on their own and help you along. There is also a little door on the bottom for easy access to the stuff already composted. I call it Darth because it looks like...” --lepouse
