WAITING FOR 1ST BATCH OF COMPOST

As added above, one or two screws would not align into pre-made holes, thus one panel is out of alignment with rest of bin.
First night I put bin together, filled it and put it outside, it RAINED ! (Yes, it does rain in California). Rain water entered bin via joints between panels. Next time rain is in forecast, I will have to cover bin to prevent this.
At same time, brown liquid/water seeps out of those joints and runs over and down the outside of panels.
The PROOF will be in the final outcome as to how well this system works; I turn it every day and DON'T add new stuff: a second container is being filled with new scraps and will be transferred into MANTIS when it is finished with its first batch.

The sides cracked after a few months. No longer an easy spin! I called customer service and after being on hold over 20 minutes twice I gave up. I have owned the original and the compact in the past and never had issues with them but I would not buy the easy spin again!

Comments about Mantis Easy Spin ComposTumbler:
I've tried doing my own composting in the past, but never got the results I wanted. I'm not able to manually turn over compost with a shovel, so this is ideal for my physical limits.

Comments about Mantis Easy Spin ComposTumbler:
I have had one of these for 15 years and it only gave out where the rod meets the drum making it difficult to turn. I am so happy that this product is basically unchanged and I can have one for another 15 years+! I only wish the current version still had wheels.
