No Problems Yet I bought the Envirocycle Composter a few weeks ago after extensive web research. I wanted a self-rotating composter as my major concern was the possiblity of rodents, flys and other pests. I simply did not want to hand-turn a compost pile. The Envirocycle Composter is not as durable as I would have expected. I think the plastic is on the thin side, and I'm convinced the door latch will break some day. The product does come with a decent warranty, which you can register online at www.envirocyclesystems.com. You can also read more about the product at that website. The cylinder drum and door are covered for five years; the base is covered for two years; and the wheels, axles, and caps for one year. Right now, my Envirocycle is about 1/4 full with an equal mix of brown yard waste and green kitchen waste. I have it sitting outside on a concrete slab in a dog pen (to deter curious racoons). It is still winter here in St. Louis. So far, I do not notice any odor and I have not had any tampering from neighborhood animals. I don't think I'm anywhere near having compost. I am amazed to see how much kitchen waste we generate now that it is not going into the garbage. I feel good about keeping it out of a landfill. I do have a handy trick for gathering kitchen waste. Rather than use a countertop container, I keep an ordinary plastic container in the freezer. This keeps odors down and eliminates the need to purchase a special container with charcoal filters. Freezing actually aids the decomposition process. If you want to batch compost, you can accumulate a large quantity of kitchen waste in a deep freezer. I'll update this review periodically to fill readers in on the progress of the composting process. Well made, solid, clean, bug and rodent resistant. In a prior home we had a larger compost bin which had problems with bugs and rodents getting into the compost, and run-off from the compost sliming the patio. The Envirocycle solves those problems with its enclosed design, which has no access for rodents, and limited access for bugs. The fluid trap below is perfect for catching the liquid which drains from the compost. This is a very solid product which will last for a long time. The rollers are very solid, designed to support a considerable load of compost. The door, which is removable, is also very solid and should handle the expected banging. We have a smaller house and the compost bin is more visible. The Envirocycle looks much better. Most people will have no idea that it is a composter.

Update #1: After about 3 months of use and headed into 80 degree weather, the Envirocycle (from about six feet away) smells like the monkey house at the zoo and has a few fruit flies inside. I've got a 50/50 mix of green and brown and hope the odor is due to a week of sitting without rotation while we were on vacation. I can tell that decomposition is occurring. I've ceased adding new materials (am compiling more scrap in the deep freeze) because I really want some compost for the herb garden.
