This unit is extremely difficult to turn.  I dont use mine....it sits in the yard.  After putting a few things in it, I had a lot of difficulty turning it on the frame, so it's not good for everyday composting.  THe lid screws on (a little time consuming to get that big and bulky lid on and off)....then after putting your items in, you are supposed to turn it a few times....forget about it....doesn't turn well on the frame, at all.  I would not recommend this to my friends and family.  Mine sits and will continue to sit until I get rid of it, eventually.  It's high maintenance for little return.
