As I have only just filled the bin, I cannot yet comment on the compost quality, but I have found the actual procedure easy going once I got the knack of 'feeding' the bin every other day; after first building up the thick base layer (as per the instruction leaflet, now laminated and hanging inside my allotment shed). Doing so, I found it got up to temperature, between 50 to 60 degrees, usually within 24-hours. Adding a small scoop of fish blood and bone, or chopped up comfrey per feed helps kickstart the process. Chopping and mixing thoroughly the green and brown mixture, not forgetting a couple of handfuls of woodchip, is the key. The build quality of the bin is excellent, having thick insulation and a well-fitting lid to retain heat. I'm also happy at buying the bundle that gives all you need to get cracking, including a hot water bottle to kickstart the process during colder months. This is my second hotbin composter, though, the first is of a different make and harder to get the hand of, so this original and best is by far the better. As for the cost - I see it as an investment towards making my own living compost filled with organic matter and good micro-organisms, unlike the sterile, often seed-filled stuff bought elsewhere. I wouldn't mind giving an update in three months as to the compost's quality if Trustpilot permits, but I am confident it'll be excellent.

Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
What a thoughtful and helpful review, thank you.
It sounds like you’ve really found your rhythm with feeding, mixing and building the right base layer. Getting up to 50–60°C within 24 hours is a great sign that everything is working well.
Your point about chopping, mixing greens and browns, and adding woodchip is spot on too, it’s often those small habits that make the biggest difference.
We also love the laminated instruction leaflet in the allotment shed, proper composting commitment! Happy hot composting!
