Exaco Trading Co. 627003 Exaco Eco King Basic Compost Bins, 110-Gallon, Green

There weren't any reviews when I ordered this so here's mine. This composter is big enough for a family of four. Yes. You could easily fit two adults and two kids in there. You wanna know how I know? We were playing hide and seek from the cat. There--I said it. But seriously it's nice, sturdy, German made, and green. It comes together in about 10 minutes with two kids 'helping ' by destroying the instructions. I'm using it on a patch of dirt (it doesn't have a bottom) and it has a lid that kinda locks strong enough to keep animals out but not strong enough to keep out three year olds who like to gaze at waste composting. We can't seem to fill it up with just table and cooking scraps. But we really need compost. Overall impression--great size for a family of four. If you add a cat it's uncomfortable.

It was easy to assemble, but hard to maintain a "square" when I put it on the ground, thus making the lid not fit quite correctly. I added composting materials and when it was time to turn it, the sides started separating. I resolved that by taking it apart, reassembling and holding the sides in place by driving stakes around all 4 sides to hold it together. The lid still doesn't quite fit right and I worry will fly off on a windy day.Otherwise, it is spacious and easy to dump the tons of veggie scraps and yard clippings into it.

Tabs were broken and the pieces have to be taped to hold together. Thin brittle material. Doubtful it will hold up to any amount if UV. Don't waste your $$$$

essentially adequate but a bit flimsy. We'll see how long it lasts.

I purchased this approximately 2 years ago and now that I've had time to use it here are my issues with it. Frankly it falls apart in particular the lower doors are always falling off. It sort of "snaps" together and never seems to stay that way. The lower door especially problematic as the clips are not as good as the corner ones. Forget about the top I don't think I've ever had it secured sufficiently. I would have been better off with just a ring of heavy gauge wire, but wanted something that looked a little better than that. would not recommend this unit.

This is a great composting bin. Its very large and doesn't have a bottom, so your compost has direct contact with the ground. The lid is also a nice feature that keeps critters out and the wind from flipping up the top. It took me about 10 minutes to put it together. The directions were very easy to follow. The best bin for the price!I was a little unsure about starting home composting, but now I will never go back! I purchased this with a small stainless steel bin with compost filter and bio bags to put inside and it is actually just as easy, if not easier to compost. I literally take the bio bag with my composting out and just toss it into the bin and I'm done - mother nature does the rest! There is less smell than I used to have with my trash (trashcan does not have a carbon filter) and I usually have less than a plastic grocery bag full of trash every week for me and my husband. Purchasing this product has drastically reduced our household waste!

Very good. Nice size. Easy to assemble. The hinges on the lower doors are a little weak but they work. Overall I would recommend.

I'M BEING GENEROUS GIVING IT 1 STAR,SO FLEMSEY IT WOULD TAKE A DUMB ANIMAL 10 MINUTES TO OPEN IT.IT SNAPS TOGETHER,LID JUST LAYS ON,DOORS ARE SO LOOSE YOU NEED A BUNGY CORD TO KEEP CLOSED!!!I SENT IT BACK NEXT DAY, ALSO NO ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS IN ENGLISH !
