Cons: can be noisy while rocks are tumbling. Put it in your garage or laundry room, unless the sound of geology puts you to sleep. The manual says to lubricate with oil, but fails to specify what kind: olive? Motor?? Essential??? I recommend machine oil or lubricant. The outside gets hot, keep away from children and curious kitties. Does not come with any tumbling grit or polish, you will have to order that separate. Finally, it's a bit difficult scrubbing leftover fine polish off of it as the barrel is solid rubber. Still a great buy for your lapidary.
