I just bought this composter, so I haven't had it long enough to have a batch completed yet. Super easy to set up. I would like to see some improvement on some type of handholds to make it a little easier to turn. You need to be sure you line up the threads on the lid carefully when you close the lid. The threads do not line up easily. According to the instructions you should be able to have a completed batch of compost in as little as 2 weeks. I have had mine up and going for a week and I have my doubts that the first batch will be done next weekend. I am looking forward to the first completed batch of compost. Overall seems like a good composter for the price.
