Jora JK400 Composter - 14.2 Cubic Feet

This small unit was pretty easy to assemble (but definitely is helpful with two people), easy to add kitchen scraps to, and very easy to aerate. More importantly, it takes all of the yuck factor out of composting for a city girl who has just started container gardening on the deck. There was a brief period when I was greeted by some fruit flies, but adding torn up egg carton took care of that. After 6 weeks, it finally started to feel warm inside and is looking like a lot more dirt than the one pot I originally put in to get things started.

This transaction was difficult, but not because of Earth Easy. FedEx screwed this up. Thanks to awesome company customer service (thank you Gillian Williams) for putting up with my incessant emails, calls and plethora of pictures, and promptly responding. I never felt like I had to hunt down help from Earth Easy customer service). After what seemed like more than a month of trying to get a replacement box of damaged and missing parts to me….it finally made it! We love it. Thank you Gillian for all your help, you were awesome. The compost bin is sturdy, and well made. I expect many years of happy composting as a result of the quality.

Love it! Our old plastic compost spinner fell apart after about 5 years, hoping this one lasts much longer. I was a little disappointed that there are quite a few plastic parts, and that the white insulation pieces are just foam. But once all together it does feel sturdy. Assembly was easy with 2 people, there's a great video on YouTube.

It’s handsome. It rotates smoothly. I really do love this composter. It’s better than any I’ve had. Words of advice: it’s not as easy to assemble as their video will have you believe. That being said, watch the video and DO NOT follow the instructions that come with it. I am a small woman who put this together myself using the instructions… in the hot sun. The metal was burning my arms as I strained and struggled to squeeze the styrofoam together and get screws in their proper alignment with this thing spinning around. The steps used in the video make it seem much easier, but they cut away from how difficult it is to squeeze the parts together. A partner would be a big help. In the end, it was well worth it. It’s beautiful to use and to behold.

This is one of the best looking composters we’ve seen online and uses very little plastic! It took about 90mins to assemble with a second pair of hands at times. Unfortunately, we had to wait 6weeks for it to arrive and started the compost process in the dead of CT winter. It’s hard to keep the temperature up without placing a hot water bottle inside a few times a day even though it’s advertised as a 4season piece of equipment. Some leakage has occurred and the lids have also frozen shut on occasion. Fingers crossed this was worth the money when winter passes.

Was a little difficult to line up the different panels during installation. With some readjusting it finally went together. Took about 3 hours total. Now that’s it’s together it looks great and working excellent.

Seems like we got the right size and the two chambers is a great idea. We have yet to finish filling the first bin. The handles around the unit make it simple to spin. No critters are going to get in. Excited to see how first batch comes out.

The directions say to use 2 people to assemble and I think that's sound advice. I did 99% of it on my own. There was some sweat equity at times. The foam used on the inside is sturdy. When putting on the panels, an extra hand is a big help to hold it down as the foam against foam makes it hard to hold when you try to put screws on the side (this will make sense when you are assembling)

We put together our first of 3 composters...it was easier than we thought. It is up and "filling". Thank you for your superb customer support.
