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.

Sorry I wasted my money on this.
3 Months after receiving the product and following the instructions I still had no usable compost. I'd give it negative stars but that wasn't an option.

Comments about Mantis Easy Spin ComposTumbler:
We used to have a large property with a very big garden. We purchased the largest composter these people make second hand and LOVED it!! We got compost tea and superb compost to add to our garden. When we downsized to a smaller yard, we still had a garden - but the compost bin was too big for our space. We found the company online and purchased the smaller one. So far, we are as pleased as the first time around!
Comments about Mantis Easy Spin ComposTumbler:
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!
