Great Polisher, Very Durable, Made in USA:
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.

should be called a timex:
OK, so I didn't just buy this one. I've had mine for 25 years now, and it's still rolling. Same model and everything! HA! As far as people complaining about noise - yes. It is noisy, but so are all the others! Put it in the garage and be happy with that. If you buy this product it will last you. Its a great brand, and I completely stand behind their products. The polish and grit are easy to find at most hobby stores, which is another thing you want to keep in mind. I've polished rocks my self, with my nephew, and my neighbors son. Its great to see the kids minds go with checking out the minerals in the rocks, etc. I highly recommend this tumbler.

Model T Rock Tumbler is a good product:
I have used this unit for one complete tumbling/polishing cycle. The build quality appears to be excellent. The unit is solid, well-made and the rubberized barrel is relatively quiet. I operate the unit in the basement and it runs 24/7 through each cycle with very little noise. I gave this product a 3 star in the fun category, only because I could not honestly say it is fun to watch it simply do its job and tumble the rocks. But overall my 7 year old daughter and I are very pleased with the unit's operation and results.

Rock Solid:
OK, the title is corny but its true. We've been using the tumbler for several months now and it just keeps working. 'Nuff said.

Great Birthday Gift!:
I bought this rock tumbler as a gift for my husband for his birthday, and it's fantastic. Does a great job. It's a bit loud and needs to run for four weeks, but he loves it so I can't complain. Comes with rocks to start with.
