Q:My door is stuck and I cannot open it fully anymore unless i use a flat edge screw driver and a hammer. Help!
by|Sep 4, 2023
1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Is the divider pushing on the door from below? Based on the description it sounds like the divider has come out of the track and is pushing on the door from underneath. If this doesn't sound like the problem please contact us at the factory with some photos.

      Q:Can bears get into this? Have you had a bear damage this. I have so many beats around my home.

      Answer This Question

      A:  The construction is pretty thick, sturdy plastic. If they pawed at it enough they may be able to eventually slide the door open but the opening is so small I wouldn't think they could fit their head in it.

      by|Aug 21, 2023

        A:  The chamber is made of plastic. Only steel construction could be considered bearproof.

              This bin leaks so I put a plastic bucket under it but I’m not happy with it for that reason. Has anyone else noticed this problem-

                  The composter is not hard to assemble but it is tedious. Read ALL of the instructions before starting to assemble it. It is easy to put a piece in the wrong place or backwards, which may mean you have to start all over again.

                  Surprised
                  I decided on this model since it was my first one and it was more reasonably priced. I was surprised at not only the size but the quality of construction. I am very happy with my purchase.

                  FCMP Outdoor tumbling composter
                  Arrived quickly. Easy to put together (58 yr old woman) but I didn't use vague paper instructions that can with but rather googles the instructions that was much clearer. Took about an hour as many many screws. Sturdy for what I use in it( twigs, leaves, grass clippings, egg shells, peels, etc). Happy with purchase.

                  Easy & effective to use for beginners
                  This composter is easy to use for kitchen scraps. As long as you make sure you have a good balance of greens and browns it does not smell. I have had it for several weeks and have had no issues with any pests trying to get into it. I like the dual chamber so that I can allow one side to fully compost while still adding scraps to the other side. The ventilation is adequate and it was not difficult to put together.

                  Great for small batch composting. Fits nicely in my raised bed garden. Easy to give it a spin while I'm working in my garden. Convenient place to put my garden waist to use. Works pretty quickly. A bit smelly for a short time, but only when I'm close to it. I've had it for about 6 weeks.

                  Easy-peasy Had two units done by lunch. One is a Birthday Surpresent. Yes, I made that word up. (Surprise & Present) 35 minutes on the 1st one. 25 minutes on the 2nd. Don't over tighten the panel bolts. No need to put a 3/8 wrench on the inside LOCK nuts. They tighten without using the wrench. Use a ratchet and square head. A drill is too strong and you will strip the bolt head. Put the sliding door on last. Instructions are not great ... but as a guy ... we only look at the pictures anyhow. Easy-peasy

                    This is exactly what I needed. I picked this one because of the two chambers; I have a small space, and this way I can let some compost mature while still adding items to the second chamber. It was super easy to put together; many reviewers had trouble, but in reality, it was straightforward. Having a second set of hands made it easier to hold while tightening screws. It fits in my yard well, the opening is big enough for easily adding items, and the paddles inside ensure that plenty of aeration happens when it turns. I don't find turning it difficult, either. A great investment in my new compost adventures!
