HOTBIN Composting Avaliações 749

Purchased the HOTBIN Mega (700 ltr) after waiting months on end (following the instructions) the waste at the top never turned into compost. When I ask why the Hotbin never had a door or hatch to allow extraction from the bottom like the smaller models. I got told that you need to dismantle the whole box. I then asked what do you do with the material at the top as its not yet turned into compost. answer "You then skim off the top waste until you get to the lower layers that have composted. Put this to one side, then once you have removed the composted waste add this back into the bin to continue its cycle and continue to feed the bin as usual" what!!!

So you need 2 people also every time you want to get to the compost at the bottom, as you say its a 2 man build for this size of Hotbin (website and instruction)

I have been left with a very expensive lump of polystyrene that isn't fit for purpose!

Save your money!

The matter I contacted Hotbin about was resolved in seconds.

Met at Chelsea Show, great information about the bin from the staff at the show, paid for bin and it arrived very quickly and now enjoying using the bin and looking forward to good compost.

Helpful advice and easy ordering process and delivery.

Easy ordering. Quick delivery. It’s been going about 3 weeks now and is keeping its temperature. Looking forward to getting my first lot of compost in a couple of months. Thanks

Efficient delivery, good quality product, easy to assemble, up and running on my allotment

Great service a restored my hotbin after a fix attack

The hotbin has never worked satisfactorily and I know from at least two other people that we are not alone. It requires a degree in biodegradation to operate and gives off an almighty whiff. I contacted support from Day One, literally, and though they are helpful we couldn't get our money back because we'd already put compost in it. It's a bit chicken & egg - you don't know it doesn't work until you try but once you've tried you can't get your money back. Expnsive mistake. Don't buy one.

I contacted the company because my HotBin was damaged by a squirrel or raccoon, asking if they had advice for repairing the damage.
The response I got made it sound like I was lying about the source of the damage and their only suggestion was to purchase another unit.
Why would I spend another $300 on something that can be damaged so easily?

Bought my hotcomposter bin last November. Didn’t really try and harvest until a month ago. I had made a schoolboy error of reading the temperature in Fahrenheit as Centigrade! Compost was anaerobic and very smelly.

Support in the form of Karen was excellent both on the phone and follow up emails. Basically had to remove all the compost & dry it until smell had gone and then reload with fresh compost, shredded paper and wood chip. Thank goodness for the good weather!

Bin is now happily composting again and definitely already up to 50C!

We have had a Hotbin for about 5 years and it works well, producing good moist compost very rapidly.

Pleased to find the supplier offers a wide range of spare parts. The two items I wanted arrived safely, well packed.

Brilliant system. So easy to use with quick results. Have started to retrieve the liquid feed already after 4weeks,
No smells and heats up quickly. I can’t recommend the HOTBIN enough.

Great product (HOTBIN mini) that has transformed my treatment of kitchen waste and garden waste.
Just waiting for my first batch of compost to be ready and hoping that it will then start to transform my garden too.
Easy to find a home for it even in a fairly small garden

Required a replacement part for my hotbin delivered quickly.

Person I spoke to on the telephone was very helpful in answering my questions. Bin arrived swiftly and was easy to unpack and light to move. With instructions provided and information via YouTube (thank you Beanie Composter), I got my bin up and running in no time.

Followed the instructions, has produced the desired results.

Good modular design well supplied with all screws and fittings. Kept up to date re delivery etc.

Easy ordering through the website and clear communication throughout. Delivery time as stated too.
