The only reason I gave this 4 stars instead of 5 is I needed my husband to help me assemble this.  It kept spinning when I tried to assemble it and when I was loading the first load.  I finally put a box (my husband's idea) under it to hold it in one place.  Other than that it is great.  I haven't had the first compost batch but I can already tell it will be easier than the two I have now that I have to manually turn the compost.
