 Well the worth the money! June 5, 2008
Denise S. (Bergen County, New Jersey, USA)
I bought this item for my son's 8th birthday because he has always showed an interest in rocks. He loves it! In fact, we all do!! The product is sturdy, easy to use and operates well. We keep it running in our attached garage and it is surprisingly quiet considering it's tumbling a bunch of rocks. You only hear it once you enter the garage. The whole process takes 3 weeks and 4 days but it's well worth the wait. It's amazing to watch the transformation! Very educational. I would definitely recommend this product.
Great polisher, very durable October 1, 2007

As a kid I had a pretty solid rock tumbler by Skilcraft. That was 30 years ago. Ten years ago I got one for my step daughter and it was plastic, noisy and leaked. The neighbors have one like that now.
This Rock Polisher exceeded all my expectations. I bought this more expensive polisher because I didn't want that same experience with the noisy, leaky, cheap plastic one. And this was just as good as I had hoped.
First, anyone trying this for the first time must realize that any time you put a bunch of rocks into a container and roll them for weeks, it is going to make noise and it is going to take patience. You should be prepared to put a rock tumbler in a garage, basement, or shed. And if it squeaks, oil it.
This polisher was relatively quiet in the garage. When the rollers started squeaking on the metal axles, I just put a drop of oil on it and it was perfect. This unit is less noisy than the plastic units because the barrel is made of hard rubber. This is a great design. The chassis and motor are all metal.
The barrel did not leak, like the others I have owned.
The best part is that this thing is solid and Made in the USA. At least there is something of quality we can still build here.
 Not A Happy Polisher August 7, 2007

I recently bought this rock tumbler off of the reviews and research on Amazon and on the internet. I had recently taken a trip to NC and came back with many rocks to polish up. so I was pretty excited to get this and get going.
I just started the process last friday. Everything was great, it is NICE and QUITE and I had it running in my dinning room. Now it is just Tuesday, the tumbler has only been running for 4 days and it squeaks and squeals all the time, I moved it to my office in the back of the apt and I can still hear it. I want to turn it off, it is driving me nuts. I work from home so I hear it ALL DAY! I haven't even gotten thru the first step. And I have 3 more weeks of THIS!
Fun for the whole family July 29, 2007

I had a rock tumbler when I was a kid, loud and irritating as it ground on for weeks in my small apartment.
This tumbler is MUCH quieter, and easy to use. I stuck it in a closet, and couldn't hear a thing. Every week the kids and I would change the grit and marvel over the changes we saw in the rocks.
When it was all done, we had a blast splitting up the rocks, and starting again!
Interesting Fun May 15, 2007
