Excellent product that was received really well. It hasn't got to a really high temperature but has reached 20 Degrees. Hoping it will get higher.

Destroyed by Foxes
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 only year, the foxes had ravaged the thermal dials out of the lid and started to attack the sides. Should be clad in ply wood box to protect from Foxes. Very disappointed.

Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
I’m really sorry to read this, especially as you’ve had it under two years and it’s left you unable to use it.
Fox damage to the lid/dial and side panels isn’t something we want any customer dealing with, and it’s also not the experience we expect in terms of getting up to temperature when the setup is right.
If you’re happy to, please contact our customer support team with your order number, photos of the damage (lid/dial area and sides), and a quick note on what you’ve been adding. We’ll review what’s happened and advise on the best route to get you back up and running, if possible. We can also communicate practical steps to deter repeat damage (positioning, base, and simple protective precautions).
Top Tips:
Don’t “lasagne layer” - HOTBIN works best when materials aren't isolated in layers, lightly stir fresh waste into the top of the heap.
Using cardboard: Use shredded or finely torn up paper/cardboard as your “brown” to soak up moisture and keep airflow in the mix (avoid layering with big, intact sheets). Pair it with some woodchip/prunings if possible.
Use of the hot water bottle: Only use it when there’s plenty of easy-to-digest waste already in the bin and the internal temperature is below 15°C. Fill with hot/boiling water, bury it in the top layer, close the lid and don’t open for 24 hours before checking again.
Too early to give an opinion.
Hotbin instructions say the compost may be harvested from 30 days (mulch) to 90 days (rich compost). How can I give you five stars until I have seen the results?
3 de março de 2026
Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
Hi there,
The 30–90 day guidance is a typical range once the HOTBIN is up to temperature and you’ve built a good “active” heap, but every garden (and every mix of waste) is different.
For your first HOTBIN compost harvest we would recommend waiting 90 days from when you first see 40°C on the internal thermometer. You can always come back and edit your review once you have seen the results of your composting efforts. Good luck, and if you need any help please visit the Support pages on the HOTBIN website.
Happy Composting 🙂
The bin looks good and works well.
The bin looks good and works well.
But I had a problem with a rat eating the bottom of the bin which now leaks. The small print when I received the bin mentioned this, but it might have been helpful to know this could be a problem in advance. The outside of the bin is not as robust as I would expect for the price.
3 de março de 2026
Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
Thanks for your review we’re pleased to hear the bin looks good and is working well, but we’re genuinely sorry to hear about the damage.
You’re right to flag this. As with most composters, rodents can sometimes cause issues if they’re attracted by food-rich areas. HOTBIN's fully sealed design and odour filter address this to prevent odours and any interest from pests.
If you’re happy to, please get in touch with our customer support team with your order details and a couple of photos of the damage. We’ll advise on the best fix (and the steps to help prevent a repeat), so you can get back up and running as quickly as possible.
The key things are to not add any cooked food waste until the heap is over 40°C, ensure you don't drop any food waste near the bin. And to double check the lid and front hatch are sealed shut.
Ordering and delivery were excellent
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 the bin. I am using my initiative at present. I am now almost up to where I have to put the hot water bottle in.
3 de março de 2026
Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
Thanks so much for your review, happy to hear the ordering and delivery were spot on.
Completely understand the ask on a clearer “what can I put in?” list, especially if you’re moving over from open crates. You’re doing the right thing using your initiative, but if you’d like a simple rule of thumb: most kitchen scraps and garden clippings are fine, just keep a good balance of “greens” (wet) and “browns” (dry) so it stays hot and airy. Balance food waste with items, shredded paper.
There are some great resources on the HOTBIN website if you click on the Support Link > Then Get composting. Also check out the Download Centre under the Support Link.
Or you can speak directly with with a member of the team via our free phone number. Hope this helps!
PS You only need to use the bottle when the internal temperature of the HOTBIN is below 15°c, and the bin is half full, this helps to give the temperature a quick 24hr boost. Do get in touch if you need any further support.

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.

I've had a Hotbin for a few years now
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 anything organic in there and it will rot away
Its very simple to use and takes up very little room

Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
Brilliant review thanks, and love that you picked your HOTBIN up at the Chelsea Flower Show - the HOTBIN Team at the events we attend are great to talk to about all things composting!
We had to smile at “TOO GOOD”… that’s a very nice problem to have. If you’ve got compost coming out faster than you can use it, you'll have to start bagging it up for family members or share a few bags with neighbours/allotment friends.
Really pleased to hear how simple you have found it to use, how little space it takes up, and that it’s been happily munching through all your organic waste for the last couple of years. Happy HOTBIN composting!

Delighted to hear delivery was prompt and the instructions were clear. Happy hot composting!
Very easy to set up
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 opening lid!

Thanks for the great review, brilliant to hear you got up to temperature quickly and found things easy to set up! Thanks for the top tip on monitoring without lifting the lid using the Sonoff thermometer. Have fun tracking the temperature!
All delivered ok
All delivered ok, though the bag of wood chips was delayed. Otherwise clear instructions and now up to 40°!

Thanks for the review and sorry the woodchip arrived a bit later than the rest, that happens sometimes. Great to hear everything else was clear and you’re already cooking away at 40°C. Good work!

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.

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re sorry to hear that squirrels managed to damage your HOTBIN. They can be surprisingly persistent, and we understand how frustrating it is to have a product compromised.
Your suggestion about adding an outer wire mesh is extremely helpful. Feedback helps our product development, and we’ve passed your comments to our design team.
If you have not done so already, please contact our customer support team (0808 168 8499 or help@hotbincomposting.com) who would like to take a closer look at what has happened and see what they can do to help.

Early days with high hopes.
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 windy area and we do need to strap it down, however it still seems quite robust enough to stand the winds once it has some weight in it.
I’m looking forward to seeing how it works once we can get it up and running.
28 de janeiro de 2026
Resposta da HOTBIN Composting
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re glad to hear you’re happy with the quality, and it’s great that you’re feeling optimistic about the compost you’ll get once the HPTBIN is fully up to temperature.
Although the HOTBIN Is lightweight when delivered, it will feel much more stable once there’s some weight inside and the wind should not be a problem.
We hope it performs just as you’re expecting once it’s up and running and wish you happy HOTBIN composting.
