About this item

  • Save Time and Effort - The Jora Composter is thoughtfully designed for ease of use and simplicity of rotation. Acting as a compost turner, it can be effortlessly turned by hand whenever waste is added. With dual chambers, while one side is being filled, the other matures, providing a continuous composting process.
  • Incredibly Well Built - Unlike most outdoor composting bins, the Jora backyard composter boasts stable, food-grade, non-toxic insulation. This unique feature allows temperatures to soar beyond 160 degrees F, ensuring quick and efficient composting.
  • High Volume Capacity - With a generous volume of up to 70 gallons and the ability to handle 7-8 gallons of waste per week, the JK 270 is the ideal large compost bin. Keep it conveniently placed outside, enabling you to dispose of waste in an efficient and environmentally-friendly manner.
  • Improved Aeration - The Jora Composter stands out as one of the few compost bins equipped with side vents, facilitating a steady flow of oxygen into the compost mixture. Coupled with kitchen waste (green) and a carbon source (brown), these side vents ensure successful composting.
  • Attractive Backyard Addition - Designed with our customers' convenience in mind, this compost tumbler boasts an appealing look and feel. Crafted from galvanized steel, it not only enhances durability but also adds a touch of charm to your outdoor space.

Customers like the stability of the compost bin. They say it turns easily, is built well, and tumbles smoothly. Customers also mention that it's easy to wheel around and that the locking mechanisms hold the lid solidly in place.

146 customers mention64 positive82 negative

Customers are mixed about the ease of assembly of the compost bin. Some mention that it was surprisingly easy, straightforward, and fairly easy until the last step. However, others say that the instructions are ineffective, pure jibberish, and difficult to follow.

"...Assembly is straightforward and fairly easy until the last step, which is to assemble the 8 sides onto the two end panels to make the 'barrel."..." Read more

"Works great. Assembly was somewhat challenging, but not too much so (make sure to watch video on YouTube first)...." Read more

"...SO EASY to use! Assuming it takes me 4-6 weeks to fill the other side, I'll come back and update with pics of what I get out of the first side." Read more

25 customers mention16 positive9 negative

Customers are mixed about the insulation of the compost bin. Some mention that it keeps things nice and toasty, while others say that it inhibits the heat of the sun from getting to the compost.

"...The heavy duty components and thick foam insulation should help to retain heat in the composter and speed the composting process." Read more

"...somewhat and now that there are gaps between the pieces the insulating value has dropped...." Read more

"...The best part though is since the JK270 is steel construction, and insulated, we are able to throw pretty much everything in it...." Read more

"...It makes heat well and holds it well due to the thick insulation, and it comes with good instructions for maintaining a good carbon:nitrogen ratio...." Read more

24 customers mention10 positive14 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the compost bin. Some mention that it's just the right size for them, fits perfectly under the JK270 on its stand, and occupies a very small footprint. However, others say that it was slightly too big for the panels to fit easily, not big enough for a family of four, and that the pre-drilled holes were not the right sizes for the screws that are supposed to be.

"...The foam inside, while snug, was so tight fitting that there was no way I could line up the holes. I struggled. I got mad...." Read more

"...Ft, 300-pound Capacity, Poly Yard Cart, Black/Yellow - Fits perfectly under the JK270 on its stand. Easy to wheel around...." Read more

"...But on mine, they fit way too tightly. Once I got that figured out, it went pretty well...." Read more

"...but I will never get rid of them, since they fit perfectly underneath the composters for emptying...." Read more

27 customers mention6 positive21 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the leakage of the compost bin. They mention that the unit seems tight, but it leaks liquid out the holes and seams. The leaks mean more smell, rust, and drippings all over the composter and the ground. The gaps in the panels are not watertight, and the compost gets in between the metal. Additionally, the inside is not really sealed at all, and compost gets into between the materials and stains the concrete.

"...There are no holes in the foam sheets (about 1.5" thick) so you have to push each bolt through the foam...." Read more

"...Every once in awhile I'll find it's too wet and smells bad, but after adding a few more browns it's corrected the next day...." Read more

"...so it would get quenched in the wet season since the gaps in the panels aren't watertight...." Read more

"...Composts very well, minimal leaking, takes about 4-5 weeks for a chamber to ripen fully. Terrific solution for kitchen waste...." Read more

Works but requires help and doesn’t hold up over time
I’ve had mine for 3 years now. As you can see in my photos it does rust and the paint has bubbled up all over the exterior despite their galvanized steel claims. Inside the thick slabs of foam that insulate it have shrunk up to the point that I had huge gaps between them and was having trouble with heat retention in cold weather and the compost drying out in hot weather. I tried to contact the company for help but their email address (on their website) bounced. I had to buy a can of waterproof spray foam that’s safe for ponds to spray into some of the gaps. During the winter (in the Boise Idaho area) I have to use multiple hot water bottles in both sides to keep it cooking enough. These have to be retrieved, dumped and refilled all the time. This requires more maintenance then they suggest. The compost that it produces, when you use horse bedding pellets as your brown, is beautiful! Truly exceptional (although I can’t vouch for the amount of microorganisms and nutrients in it). Does this work well? Yes. Does it hold up well for the price? Unfortunately, no!
