I purchased this composter approximently 9 months ago and have added most of my kitchen waste along with grass clippings. The composter works OK, but is small and not able to accomodate my large yards worth of green waste. It does a good job, but i am in a colder climate and it take a few months to completly compost a bin. I do add material regularly. The latch recently broke and I contacted Lifetime with a warranty claim. They responded quickly and sent a replacement latch in a few days. Their service was exceptional. I believe this composter is great for smaller yards, for bigger yards several would be necessary.
