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:
We bought this to hold kitchen scraps over the winter. Kept near our back door. Contents will be transferred to a regular composting bin in spring.
Service and delivery comments:
Delivery was good; only problem with assembly was excess plastic in holes that had to be drilled out. Some holes for end screws didn't line up well, so went in slightly crooked.
