Mantis 4000-00-02 ComposT-Twin Composting Bin Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my parents last year. It took me about an hour or so to put together by myself. The cylindrical body is constructed by flat sheet metal rectangles that you wrap around the circular disk that make up the ends and middle divider. I am sure if I had help, construction would have been quicker and easier.
The doors are my biggest compliant. They are made of sheet metal material and make for a flimsy door. Also, the door hinges are not of rugged quality. They are merely bent tabs on the door that slide into slots of the cylinder housing. The paint quickly chips off the hinged area. Additionally, the springiness of the sheet metal door compounded with the hinge design makes the door clumsy to open and close. On top of this, if you want easy unloading of the composter, you will need to remove the doors. This is no big deal, but reattaching the doors is cumbersome.
What I do like about this composter is that it is raised off the ground just high enough for my dad to roll his "luv cart" electric wheel barrow underneath and the compost dumps into it. This makes for easy unloading into the cart. This is imports for the following reason: Unloading the composters requires the most physical effort of composting. Loading the composter requires the least effort because you usually only load a little bit each day. This composter was designed to make unloading easy. Most other composters are on the ground which requires lifting of the heavy load into a wheel barrow or lots of shoveling into the wheel barrow. This is the main reason I bought this product for my parents.
This composter is not bad, but for $500 I would expect a more user friendly design for assembly and usage.
