I purchased my 50 gallon composter in April. I fed it food scraps (the good kind, not meat, etc) and grass and leaves. The small composter is very easy to rotate even when full. But I found I had to leave it alone, without adding more to it, for a while before it started producing usable compost. I use this in conjunction with a second composter so that I can leave one alone to compost while I actively use the other. I do find that it is rodent proof, and it does not smell or have bugs around it - so that is a plus! I am new to composting, and it took about 6 months before I got the hang of it - correct moisture, rotation, rest. Because it is enclosed, I'd say this is a good unit if you are in a small space, like a city.
