Description & reviews don't say HOW THE THING WORKS! Does it turn the compost / u stir it / u dump it out & mix? "Machine"... electric?!

I don't turn it. Sometimes I will use a shovel to breakup large items. For the "brown" composter, I occasionally add a thin layer of soil to the top. It does take longer to get the first compost, but the quality is very good. For the "green" composter, I occasionaly add soil and water to expedite the composting process.

No, it does not turn the compost. You stir it up. You retrieve the compost from the bottom trap door with a shovel. Or, if it is all turned to usable compost, you can pick the all bin up and shovel from there. Hope that helps.

Aww man you're gonna make me have to go see cuz I honestly can't remember. I hope you appreciate this and you owe me a beer....... Ok, it will roll backwards but the blades do not. It is however a fairly heavy bugger and I expect, with proper maintenance, to get a lifetime of usage out of it. I bought it mainly as a backup for my power mower. It does not, however, cut weeds for nothing and I don't know why. I believe because the weeds are so flexible they slide right through. But in a way that's a good thing as then you can spot the little bastids and kill them.

I didn't install it, my gardener did as I'm no expert. But I did read up on it before I bought.. It's supposed to have low amp usage. I do know that it works quite well and the remote is very cool. Replaced a Toro Greenskeeper and this is a much better unit.

It's simply an electric burner that plugs into the wall outlet like any other electric appliance. I didn't care for it because on a flat surface the burner element was not level and it seemed that a pot or pan could easily fall off of it. I returned it and upgraded to a somewhat more expensive unit (by Frigidaire) that is superior in every way. I don't recommend this product.

Short answer- yes! I was skeptical after looking at other units and since using this unit... I just don't know how it could be simpler. The motor drive is a simple twist and locks on and remove. The roller, I wipe clean with a cloth, and then just wipe down the base/ then dry. Used this a number of times to make lasagna noodles, made noodles for ravioli, ran each thru the machine to level 6 (thin). It really doesn't get messy to my surprise and I am really pleased with how it works so quickly!!! Lots of fun to use and I just can't go back to the store-bought stuff! I pop out my strips so fast. Start w/ the initial run at setting 2, then 4, then 6- Done!!! Do not place unit in water, but really no reason to even worry. Next to my kitchen aid mixer and my electric pressure cooker (use the crap out of it, make homemade soups in 12-15 minutes!!), this is awesome!

No!!! Even if it worked, which it doesn't, since it is the biggest piece or crap I have ever wasted my money on, by design you are supposed to shut down the unit and wait for 5 minutes between heating and cooling mode, so there is no way that it can be set to maintain a constant temperature automatically when doing so calls for both heating and cooling at different times of day. I implore you though, do not waste your hard-earned cash on this piece of junk or anything made by this manufacturer. After giving up on this miserable excuse for machinery, I bought a SOLEUS unit for roughly the same price (refurbished, but in perfect shape), and it has been heating and cooling reliably for two years now. To be fair, that unit also will not swap automatically between heating and cooling. These are heat pumps, and they essentially need to change their "plumbing" to go from one mode to the other. To cool your room, it works like a refrigerator, extracting energy from your room and rejecting it to the outside air; to heat your room, it has to "flip" so that it is refrigerating the outside air, extracting heat from the outside and rejecting it INTO your room. In both cases, of course, making heat flow from a lower temperature to a higher one is not natural, and it takes electrical energy, and in both cases that electric energy gets converted into more heat, which winds up outdoors in cooling mode or indoors in heating mode. More expensive whole-house heat pumps are able to shift automatically between heating and cooling, but even they take a few minutes to do so.

When you have nice compost. :) I have to say I am not impressed with the compost making ability as I have not gotten any! Switching back to my composting on the ground.

I haven't used this composter but had 4 of the lifetime tumblers before. So my answer is about generic timing and not this specific tumbler. We lived in the South-East then and in summer could turn waste into dirt in 4-6 weeks. In winter it doesn't stay hot enough to compost in these systems. If you are disciplined enough to remove plastic (stickers on your produce or plastic bags) and not put sticks from yard waste then the result is ready to go when it looks like dirt. Gardeners and farmers call compost black gold for a reason...good stuff.

Not electric... works well though. Suction clamp to counter and just slide knife through sharpener on top. We like ours.

This treadmill is not electric, you power it by your own walking speed. The thing is a piece of crap, I would not recommend it to my worst enemy.

Hello Bob, this is not a powered mixer. Although it powers up and can be used for a standard mixer when plugged in the wall socket adapter. It's other way of powering up which is to plug it in to an open USB Connector on your computer. Which then makes it a Audio Interface for recording with Digital Audio Workstation on your computer such as Garage Band or Pro tools ( If your going to use it for an audio mixer. Plug it in the wall with the provided adaptor, then run the outputs into an Amplifier of your choice) Try You Tube for more information on your Audio Interface/ Mixer.

I don't even try to start mine now. When it does run it is worse than my electric, always has been. This is a real POS, had had other Weed Eater products, but this one now makes me wary. Caveat Emptor.

I think you should send a request, too. I also asked if the manual and booklet were posted online somewhere - that would be faster than mail. I was able to juice some carrots, celery, cucumber, and romaine but don't know how to disassemble to clean. Very aggravating.

This is a hand crank machine. I have purchased both electric and hand crank (and this is the best machine on the market) and would advise to NEVER purchase an electric one. The electric will not fill to the filter. This machine is smooth and easy to use.

Yes but it is too expensive to do that. It is a starter so it has the bacteria in it to foster the growth of good organisms to convert organic matter into compost.

Not sure about composting but it is a great leaf and garden trash collector. Gave it to my son-in-law and now everyone in his neighborhood has one.

I agree with Hollywood Hugh. Push and walk away BUT it is horribly under powered. More than a handful stops it dead. I'm going to buy a sorter with a plug in power cord and forget the batteries.
