Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Tumbler is easy to use and includes grit for polishing stones. Great gift to give to a friend or kiddo.

Reversing the container (drive wheel on wide end) will tend to eliminate the issue. The unit does what it is supposed to, and has warnings in the manual if one bothers to read them.

Cons

After the first use, the lid is incredibly difficult to remove or put on. The design of the barrel makes it nearly impossible to open and close. Used twice, difficult to unscrew lid first time, impossible the second time.

It sounds like a wheel that needs greased - but sadly, nothing seems to help. Noisy on anything not carpeted. Sounds like a sneaker in a dryer going really really fast.

Quality

I use mine every day for jewellery polishing and it’s still running and spinning with no issues

It come with a good amount of raw rocks to get you started and steps 14 of grit to get your rocks to a good polished state

The bad reviews about leaking sound to me like they just didnt get the lid on properly

Its much louder than expected not sure why i thought it would be quieter

Price

I do wish it had an option to turn the tumbler off without unplugging it but for the price i can’t complain

Packaging/appearance

I wish it had came with more of the mixing packs but i will buy them separately
