The tumbler didn't even last a year before the plastic broke around the metal rod that holds it onto the cart. It wasn't overloaded or abused in any way, the plastic just wasn't strong enough to take the load of compost as it turned around and around.Before it broke it was pretty nice though. I was able to get two loads of compost, from green grass (dried in the sun so it didn't mold first), leaves and kitchen scraps to black gold, before it broke.
