I have 2 other rotating composters and this is much more practical. The bin is high enough that you can get a wheelbarrow under it to empty it. The large lid makes loading and emptying much easier and the square shape makes it easier to rotate. Contrary to other reviews I found it easy to construct, read the instructions, have the correct tools to hand and take your time. The composter was delivered with a missing part, but when I contacted customer services there was no quibbling and the part was out for delivery straight away, so full marks.
