5 out of 5 stars Achla Spinning Composter a Great Buy   November 13, 2008
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I am so pleased with my new Achla spinning composter. It was a fraction of the cost of the ComposTumbler that I was also considering. It was also quite simple to set up, and easy to turn, even completely full. I believe the black plastic exterior helps to heat the contents and facilitate the composting process. Although I filled it with pungent horse manure and kitchen scraps, there is little to no smell unless the lid is open. I will write back and let you know how my first batch of compost turns out.


2 out of 5 stars metal legs packed loose in drum; damaged in shipping   September 10, 2008

My experience is similar to S. Meyer's earlier comment. Metal finish on sections of composter legs has been damaged in shipment because the pieces were banging around unprotected inside the drum. They're already beginning to rust. There was no protective covering or packing to protect them. I've contacted Amazon to get a replacement shipped.


5 out of 5 stars awesome composter   August 28, 2008

Being a composting fan I did alot of research on composting tumblers. The Achla fits into my scheme perfectly. We are in the process of renewing some very poor soil and this composter has already provided 2 loads of much needed compost for our small garden in 6 weeks...now if they could just do something about the weather......


2 out of 5 stars Used Composter Wasn't Acceptable   August 3, 2008
 13 out of 15 found this review helpful

We were excited to receive the composter, however, the legs (packed inside the barrel) were loose because the packing material (wrap and ties) was already cut, removed and tossed back inside the barrel. This permitted them to rattle around inside. Upon examination, some of the leg pieces were worn and corroded/rusted. We did not appreciate receiving a used product, especially in this condition. The barrel did appear to be new. Upon contacting the manufacturer (Achla), they stated they could not replace these parts because they did not know how Amazon was obtaining their products. It is difficult to rate the item because we never got a chance to use it. It would probably have worked as advertised, however, we ordered a new item, not a worn item. We would not order from this supplier again.


4 out of 5 stars Composting made easy   July 25, 2008
 13 out of 13 found this review helpful

I bought a composting bin a number of years ago, completely oblivious to what is involved in composting. Toss stuff in and it "magically" turns to compost. Wrong! Compost has to be turned, I later learned. So the bin was emptied and has been sitting in my backyard for quite some time as it does not facilitate easily turning the compost (or turning it at all for that matter). I came across turning, tumbling, and spinning composters and selected this one. I transferred the stuff I had been tossing in a trash can (in hopes of the "magic" happening) into this composter. Wow! One week later, and it looks and smells wonderful! It still has a ways to go, and I still have more learning to do on the subject, but this composter has made the job very easy--almost not a "job" at all! I will more than likely continue composting for years to come because this composter makes it so simple and clean.
