As we are now grounded due to Covid 19 I decided to empty my compost bin last weekend. I was absolutely delighted with the quality of the compost. Tip - if you're putting T bags in don't. Empty the tea into the compost and throw the bag away as they don't compost down even after a year but it was no hard job just picking them out. I can't believe how much stuff you can put in it and I love this product

Bought my bin about 6 weeks ago. Delivery was speedy and arrived in perfect condition.

My bin is situated about 5m from my back door - no issues with flies, vermin odours etc.

I did buy one perhaps too big for what I produce, (I bought the larger one for a 2 person household) but I now have a deal with my local fruit and veg shop and collect waste off them weekly to put in .

Highly recommend this product, already on the way to getting good compost.

All my Household waste food, garden waste, lawn cuttings, hedge cuttings from my large organic garden are composted.

My Hot Bins are sited only 16m from my front door yet there is no smell or no vermin.

I am now producing the best compost,in the shortest time ever and I am therefore delighted in that I have now taken delivery of my 4th Hot bin.

Received my hotbin a few days ago. Fast and efficient delivery.

Disappointed to see the amount of non-recyclable plastic waste from a "green" company. Bin wrapped in heavy duty bubble wrap, and all contents wrapped in plastic.

Perhaps a cardboard box would be more environmentally friendly?

The contents inside the hotbin doens't really need plastic wrapping, the bin is waterproof by design.

Just filled it with waste, so will be interested to see how it performs. Looks good, and takes up minimal room.

I was a bit sceptical about paying £200 for a compost bin and I know it's going to take some time to recoup the cost but after two weeks all I can say is I'm stunned, due to the weather I've only got it half full, no grass as yet but it's been ticking over at 50C for most of the fortnight and smelling of cooked cabbage. I added a little compost accelerator and blood fish and bone to give it a head start then the partly composted top of the old slow heap and within two days it was up to temperature, loads of shredded paper and some bulking matter and it's doing exactly what's claimed, can't wait to sample my first batch at the beginning of August, this year I wont be buying mulch for my asparagus or rhubarb! And next year no grow bags.

This is my second bin I purchased it because it is cheaper. I think because it is so good the price should be reasonable so that more people will manage to afford it. I am a apermaculturist. Last year 2018 I managed to turn my daughter into a gardener. She hated the idea of growing things until she got a house and used soil in the garden to grow seeds I was there just in time to provide some compost from my hot bin to save the day her hanging baskets and pots were a feast for the eye.

Reading all the info prior to purchase was, to me like it was going to be really hard to learn so that it works as it should

So much detail, so I thought

But do you know what, after it arrived and got my first few loads of waste mixed and added, I realised it was going to be easy

I started it on Monday, today is Friday, 4 days and when I went to add more waste, my internal temp was 40*C

So after 4 days, I am hot composting, I’m impressed

It was tedious chopping all my garden waste up when your HOTBIN is completely empty but it’s done and now, it’s only routine top ups

Pleased as punch with my purchase, won’t know until around Christmas what the results will be, may even leave a further review when I pull my first batch of home made quality compost

Had wanted to get one of these for ages as we don't have a compost heap in the garden and hate throwing out compostable waste. Dead easy to use, and very satisfying to watch the temp gauge steadily rising. We are looking forward to many years of quality organic compost thank you !

We had been thinking and talking about getting a hotbin for a while. We generate a lot of compostable material and we are forever buying compost so it made sense to take the plunge and buy the hotbin.
Astonishingly within days of starting to fill it was at 60 degrees and it has rarely dropped down. It is fantastic to be putting so much kitchen and garden waste straight into it. As our local council charges for garden waste we are planning to cancel that annual cost and use the hotbin for it all.
We have just opened and taken our first load of compost and it is beautiful black friable stuff. We are delighted with our purchase but wonder when I will stop going out before work every day to check the temperature....strangely work colleagues aren't as interested as I'd hoped......funny that!!

We started hot composting back in December and this morning removed a block of perfect compost, about 2' x 2' x 2' from the base of the bin. I am absolutely astonished at how good the compost is (and completely odour-free, too), and how incredibly easy the bin is to use. Honestly, i don't do "gushing" reviews, but this is the one exception. The product is simply incredible. PS our 3 conventional compost heaps are a complete waste of space...
