I have the newer xe Naturemill which is a little different than the one pictured. It has the bigger motor and a few other improvements but is otherwise very similar. It makes very good compost and is easy to use. My kids have taken control if it and they are only 6 and 8 so you can see that it is much easier compared to my old backyard tumbler. There is no more stinky trash to take out any more because we compost just about anything that has a smell. So with my kids on the naturemill and my wife doing most of the cooking and basically no more trash to take out, there is very little for me to do in the kitchen. So you can see why I like my naturemill so much.

As in every other review, I have found the naturemill easy to use and has very pleasant odors like mushrooms or chicken soup. The first week takes some patience to allow the natural compost cultures to become prevalent. After than it's basically autopilot as far as I am concerned. The compost that comes out is very grainy and fluffy like it should be, not moldy and lumpy like you get from a tumbler or a stationary bin. I have not tried worms and now that you have read my review of Naturemill you can understand that I am not going to venture into vermi land.
