It doesn't matter what skill level you are with vermicomposting, This bin will be a great fit for your system. Vermihut has tried to think of everything when they designed this unit.
For the longest time, I used a DIY worm composting bin made out of a large Tupperware container. I had a ton of issues with excess liquid, water management, and airflow.
In the early days, I almost killed off the whole worm bin because I couldn't keep the bin dry enough.
I also had a horrible time with ants every time spring rolled around. Ants would invade my worm bin and compete for food. I had to modify my bin with legs. Then I had to place those legs in little bowls of water to prevent worms from accessing my bin.
Needless to say, this was quite funny looking. Thankfully, Vermihut has figured out a fix to many of these common issues.
This isn't the most attractive vermicompost bin on the market. It feels more like it is a no-non-sense worm composting machine. The VermiHut is great for a spare room or closet but is unlikely to fit into most decors.
One issue I ran into, and many reviewers ran into, was the worms trying to escape. Overall this was a straightforward fix. Leave the lid off for a little while.
I read on some message boards that people drilled additional holes in the top of the unit to increase airflow. It didn't seem necessary to do this in my case.
Otherwise, the only other complaint is that the trays don't securely adhere to the base. With time the trays will stay put with gravity. However, I worry for people who have toddlers or large pets that could knock the whole thing over.
These 'issues' are minor. The VermiHut is an excellent investment if you are looking to increase your composting ability.
