5.0 out of 5 stars
A great compost bin for any yard,
By Pros: * Can be used for hot (active maintain) or cold (dump stuff in and forget about it) composting. * Fully enclosed. * Has a locking lid. * Uses hard nylon screws & bolts that won't rust. * More attractive than the chicken wire and wood frame composter I made. * Light-weight. * Good instruction booklet. * Good airflow. (I was worried about this before using.) * Fast hot composting (about 5-6 weeks) * 25-yr manufacturer's warranty Cons: * Haven't found the doors very useful. (They are not a problem either. More useful for a cold pile I guess.) * Little difficult to turn the pile. (I usually remove the entire bin, and set to the side and refill the bin in the new location.) The directions state that you must place this on level ground so the lid fits properly. I used a shovel to level out a spot and the lid fits great and stays locked. Since nocturnal critters live in my area, I haven't used food scraps for this composter. (I use a vermiculture setup ( Can-O-Worms ) for that in the garage.) I use grass clippings, shredded cardboard and newspaper, leaves, and other chopped-up landscape debris to get a good mix of carbon and nitrogen.

Composting Bin,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Soilsaver Classic Composter (Kitchen)
I had purchased this exact product at Sam's in the spring for $40. I used it all summer and it was almost full. I decided that I needed another so that I could "turn" the soil in my existing bin. Sam's of course, no longer had any in stock so I began my search on the internet. This was the cheapest one I could find at twice the price (including shipping). I ordered it so the bins would be the same configuration in the small space in my yard. I wanted my composting to be as inoffensive as possible to my neighbors. I received the new bin in about a week-about 5 days quicker than promised. It was exactly the same as my other one. I put it together, placed it in my yard and began transferring the material from my old one to it. I was amazed at how well composted the material in my existing bin was! It had only been 4 months and I had not turned or stirred it once. I have done composting in the past in big "pens" and thought that was a superior method. I would turn it a couple of times during the season, but it was never as composted as this in such a short time. This bin works incredibly well. The perfect solution for people who want to compost but don't have a lot of space to do it in.

Soilsaver Composter Well Worth the Money - Great Compost!,
We purchased a Soilsaver compost bin several years ago and now have three of them in our backyard. It has been a great investment for us to turn our garden and kitchen waist into quality compost. We dump all of our coffee grounds, vegetable and fruit waist along with grass clippings and leaves into the soilsaver. In the summer, we have nice compost very quickly. The winter does take longer but it still decomposes nicely.
It has also been a great lesson for teaching our daughter about composting. She gets very excited about dumping our fruit and vegetables and watching the worms eat away an decompose our waist. The locks on ours have kept critters out of the composter and we have not had any problems like others have stated in their review. It was very easy to put together (even a non-technical person like myself could put it together!)
