Product Review: Lifetime 60058 Compost Tumbler
Company: Amazon
Price Range: $150 - $200
Who Would Buy This: Those shopping for a high capacity, entry-level compost tumbler which makes it an easy task to produce compost.
Pros:
Assembling this compost tumbler is quite easy and comes supplied with all the necessary hardware. You will need about 2-3 hours to complete the assembly process. You will also need an electric drill to prepare the holes plus a Philips screwdriver attachment. We recommend to get someone else to help you as that will make the process much easier.
This tumbler is highly durable and weather resistant due to its high-density polyethylene (HDPE) construction. The galvanized steel base provides a sturdy base for the tumbler. It’s double walled panels ensure maximum heat retention for efficient composting, while its UV-protected exterior keeps the unit protected from the sun’s rays.
The tumbler rotates around its central axis for easy, efficient rotation. To rotate it, you just simply turn the tumbler manually using the built-in hand grips. An internal bar is used to mix the compost to provide a good flow of oxygen to ensure higher quality compost.
A how-to DVD is included with the product to get you familiar with the whole process of composting.
Cons:
Rotating the tumbler when it’s almost full can be quite a challenge. Although by applying some grease to the washers during the assembly phase, it can help improve this issue significantly.
While the assembly process is easy overall, is it a rather time consuming task with lots of steps involved. There is an assembly video on Youtube which we recommend you follow.
