HOTBIN Composting Reviews 732

The HotBin was received quickly, though confusingly in two packages - the plinth first and the actual HotBin the next day. We have followed the guidance and are pleased with the result so far. Afte... See more

So far so good but too early to tell about results yet. The purchasing process was simple and delivery was very prompt with lots of helpful updates on progress of shipping. The instructions w... See more

I’ve not had time to get the hot bin up to temperature yet, but I like the way that it’s made, and I have high hopes that soon we’ll get some good compost from our food waste. We live in a very win... See more

Love my hotbin! It's been -2'c outside but my bin has been hitting 55'c and is absolutely chomping through my food waste, clippings and rabbit bedding. Looking forward to opening it up in another mont... See more

Ordering and delivery were excellent. I am very new to this method having previously composted in open crates with great success. What I would have liked is a comprehensive list of things to put in th... See more

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 anaerobi... See more

Bin arrived as stated on the order. Set up in no time, working brilliantly, doing exactly as described. Looking forward now to using the compost for winter vegetables. Think maybe we should have go... See more

We'd been after a hotbin of some description for a while and finally decided to go with the mid-sized hotbin when a deal became available. The purchasing was straightforward, delivery in a reasonabl... See more

Seems like a well designed bin. Came with a handy leaflet with all the information you need to get started, so no need to go looking on a website. Already getting plenty of liquid feed after just over... See more

I own and use 2 Hotbin Composters on my allotment. Foxes had chewed and destroyed the inner inserts on the top of both Hotbins in order to eat the red fireworms inside. I ordered 2 replacements from H... See more

Easy ordering delivery and set up. Seems to be working and has reached desired temperature several times but needs to be kept stoked to sustain the process. 4 weeks in and we have some liquid feed. Th... See more

Did my research and settled on a HotBin… called and spoke to super helpful customer service and also found online support and videos super helpful too.. set my HotBin up this weekend following advise... See more

I find making my own compost extremely satisfying and the Hotbin makes it easy to do and much faster than traditional methods. I am happy to be putting much of my food waste and garden clippings to go... See more

Purchased under two years ago. Now entirely dysfunctional. Heat mechanism never worked well despite repeated attention to layering of compost with cardboard and reinserting hot water bottle. After onl... See more

Very easy to set up, got it up to temperature nice and quickly! Recommend using a remote Sonoff thermometer instead of relying on the one on the lid. You can then track the internal temp instead of op... See more

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 (t... See more

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 conta... See more

My new hotbin is WONDERFUL! I transferred some compost from an old style composter and already see the difference. It took only a few days to reach 55degrees. Great service from suppliers.

Great service - however DPD was not as efficient as hoped!! They claimed they had tried to deliver twice, when in fact we were home both times, we contacted your company highlighting this, and due to... See more

The hot bin is exactly as described & promised. It’s taking a bit of effort to get the temperature up but that’s not surprising given the weather! Good robust product that’s been well made.

Very pleased with my new Hotbin, I t took a while to get up to temperature, so I used the hot water container. I checked it the following day and the temperature was spot on. I can now compost all m... See more

The delivery was prompt and provided you follow the instructions, it definitely works. It took a couple of weeks to get up to the temperature at which you can put most bio-degradable materials in.

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... See more

It arrived on time. We already had one which we were happy with and decided that we need two. It actually takes us longer than described to obtain the compost, but my husband thinks this is because we... See more

Excellent product - bought two Hotbin Mega 700L units and within 10 days they were happily running at 50 degrees on a diet of mostly chopped brambles

The hotbin composting system is excellent. Compost is generated really quickly and it has been a real boon to my garden. It has meant that I can compost much more garden and kitchen waste than ever b... See more

I have had the Hotbin for 4 years. Sadly the bin never composted food waste properly even after 5 months or more it was always smelly wet mushy food waste. When you lift the lid it is crawling with wo... See more

I have never received the goods I ordered. They were resending them and they never arrived again.

I already own a hotbin and have bought one for my daughter. Absolutely amazing product, makes wonderful compost quickly, rat proof and tucks away in the corner of a garden. I highly recommend this pro... See more

Received the 200 litre Hotbin in mid April, delivered quickly and in good order. After three months the bin was almost full and I removed the bottom foot of compost. The very bottom layer was... See more

Delivery & Bin excellent but I am finding it very hard to get bin to correct temperature tried hot water bottle a few times to no good result disappointed with results but will keep trying

I’m so happy with my hot composting bin. Assembly was very simple and setting up the initial ‘load’ was clear and well explained in the accompanying guide. Excited to get my first batch!

Easy to order, quick delivery and easy to assemble and use. Also a talking point for visitors! So far heating up quickly although too early for compost to be made.

Product OK and I have two others of long standing. However service abysmal. I ordered and paid for bin and stand. Stand did not arrive. Company said it was for some unconvincing reason sent separate... See more

A very well made hotbin, recommended to be by a friend. I would also buy the pedestal so access to the liquid fertiliser is effortless. Delivery was very quick too.

the ordering process and delivery is quick but I am not impressed with the item itself. Definitely more cold bin than hot bin.

I've had a Hotbin for a few years now, I bought it at the Chelsea flower show Its been very good at composting, in fact too good, I have lots of compost and nowhere to use it We can literaly throw... See more

Now my third hotbin in use. I'm now more picky about what goes in. We're lucky to live in the countryside and have supply of wood dust and shred our paper, to balance the 'wet' household waste. Think... See more

Just want to say how impressed I am with my Hotbin composter. I’ve had it coming up to 3 months, am getting about 100/150ml of liquid feed from it a day(!) if not more, plus I’m about to harvest my fi... See more

The ordering and delivery process was quick and efficient. I purchased wood chippings but was slightly disappointed to find thick pieces of cane bamboo mixed in. The product is more expensive compare... See more

The hot bin is very quick at producing good compost. In addition, and probably more importantly, I receive a ready and plentiful supply of liquid manure which I find very useful.

Delivered on time and an excellent product. I had a few queries that were answered by the website faqs and am now happily hot composting!

That you had holes in the box so we could carry it. Quick delivery, nothing missing, nothing broken, instructions to use box to start us off x

Super fast delivery. An expensive piece of kit (the base) but pleased to no longer have to bend down so far.

Very easy to use, great compost in 90 days, liquid feed on tap. I certainly don’t regret buying a hot composter, worth every penny

The hotbin is working like a dream. It has made an immediate difference to the waste disposal problems of an average family house in hot weather and produces rich compost and an even richer liquid man... See more

Very happy with all aspects of the process and delivery. Product first class and performing well.

Item arrived earlier than expected. The bin itself is getting hot. Although a lot of money for a bit of polystyrene.

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... See more

Work well but only until the squirrels find them. I have 2 with massive holes in sides and top. Won't buy again until you do a version with a wire mesh outside.

Please make your return policy absolutely clear for customers who are unable to go online & therefore order by phone. Cost me £50 of price to return. Delivery company surprised

I have had some wonderfully helpful responses to email questions. This is a very different approach to composting. I am enjoying the challenge of getting it going.

I love to way it compost the food and garden waste into compost in such a short period. My plants have benefited from the liquid the hot bin produces. I am impressed

excellent product, my second HOtbin and this is an upgraded version of the first. Great instructions to get things started.

My first HOTBIN composter that I've had for a few years had been so good in producing excellent compost in short timescales that I've just bought my second HOTBIN. They are proving to be one of the be... See more

Great service, email sent updating me in my order and delivered as promised. Great products would recommend highly.
