    Great Little Tumbler for a Hobbyist!

    Great Little Tumbler for a Hobbyist!
    Overall a great little tumbler, for a hobbyist or someone that uses it once in a while! I see I need a much bigger one to do my projects. No leakage or problems of any kind so far. My only concern was, the motor does tend to get a little warm after about 8 hours. I did check on it during the night several times, just don't want to burn down the house! I tumbled my broken glass bottles and jars just 24 hours and I have to say I'm very pleased how the edges were rounded off with no sharp edges. So with that, I moved onto grit #2 and will check it in 24 hours. Maybe in a couple weeks or so, I will tumble some rough gemstones. About the noise, I consider it background noise, not that bad! But you wouldn't want it in your bedroom while sleeping. Follow the directions and don't overfill your barrel and everything will be ok! If your planning a very large project or you see it's an ongoing thing, I'd get a much bigger tumbler. Follow the directions and don't overfill your barrel and everything will be ok!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Follow the directions and be patient. You'll be happy with the results.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2019
    Packaging was fine. No issues. Opened it up with the tumble kit I bought, picked the rocks (all agate found on So California beach) followed the instructions and photo of the first batch. I don't think the photos do the rocks justice. They came out beautiful. Did 7 days for each grit and 10 days for the final polish. Second batch is in. The tumbler has been on 7/24 for over 6 weeks. No belt problems and no leaks. Electric motors runs hot as expected. So I put a fan next to it and it stays cool. May not need it but makes me feel better. It's in the garage and it's not noisy. Now I want a bigger one!
