Edit:
It has been almost 4 years. i don't use it constantly, on average i process a few batches a year. They are 5 week batches because i like to run the rough for at least 2 weeks. i have just had my first failure. The bushing on the drive rod wore all the way through. i had to stop because the rod would keep spinning and wear the hole a bit oblong. that's my bad for not recognizing what that sound meant. for what i paid, the fact that everything lasted this long would be good enough, but then i found this website with all the spare parts i need. as long as you are okay with aftermarket, give them a look. https://www.thetumblersbench.com/
All in all i think my rating stands.
Put the second batch in and the darn motor started getting louder and louder. 2 days before the final tumble was complete the motor froze up! USED IT TWICE!!!! Then to top it all off Amazon and the seller only have a 30 day return policy! Will not buy this model again. two tumbles of 3 lb each of rocks cost me 30 buck a tumble and I am out a tumbler.
