Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

We've had one of these for about a year and purchased it after a lot of research. By and large, it's been a great purchase. I think it probably works better than most other products on the market. The compost is fast, we can keep composting far further into the winter than we would be able to otherwise and it's held up pretty well. We have noticed that the screen that helps drain the composter needs to be kept clear and may need regular cleaning to make sure nothing gets too soupy. One other minor annoyance is that the lid doesn't stay open well without holding it, so getting things in and out of it can be a hassle. In regards to the other review complaining that the composter doesn't work when filled only with greens, it's a composter, not magic. You do have to know something about composting and create a balance of greens and browns to make it work most effectively. That's not a product defect. It's like buying a skillet and complaining that it burns your eggs because you didn't know you needed to grease it before putting the eggs in.
