 False representationMar 04, 2011
By mf123
The product is the thumblers tumbler MP-1 but the picture is not the tumbler you get. The discount listed is false as well. The MP-1 sells for this price retail. Though not illegal your advertising is extremely dishonest.

 Great tumbler I loved itOct 09, 2010
By eazzy
Just finished making my first run in it, had a great time. Produce some really nice looking rocks.
No problems running it at all. The rubber barrel makes it repetitively quiet (run it in a closet and barely hear any noise (bit like rain).
My seven year old lost interest pretty quickly (though enjoys sorting through stones and picking some finish ones for jewelery.)
But I'm loving it.
Went to ebay and bought grits for a 12# tumbler for just over $20 delivered (he through in a couple of pounds of rock as well free), so I have grits for another 6 runs...Plenty of rocks at good prices at Ebay as well (group your purchases to save on shipping as its a killer when buying a couple of pounds of rocks). My local beach has lots of quarts pebbles so no shortage of matterial for me.
Great price great deal...would recommend it over the toy little plastic barreled ones (since it only costs about $10 more) .

Thumbler's Tumbler MP-1Jan 07, 2011
By Lw
I bought this tumbler for my grandson for Christmas. I was told that Thumbler's Tumbler was a good brand and was willing to pay a little more for something more durable. I was quite disappointed when he opened it. He was pleased with it, but I am not sure that it is any better than the $39 toy tumblers. It is mostly plastic and the drum is quite small. It was advertised as having a list price of $279..I would say that the $74.99 I paid was to much.

Good Starter Kit For A ChildJun 21, 2011
By D. Baumwald
This was purchased as a gift for my nephew. The kit is shipped in a heavy-duty box, and the tumbler unit itself is nearly fully assembled. The only assembly required is to mount the drum and the belt. However, I wouldn't necessarily consider this assembly, as this action is required every time items are removed or added to the drum.
As for the kit contents, it comes with everything you'll need to get started. The directions are easily understood, and the kit components are separated and clearly marked.
As for performance, the unit is, as expected, noisy. As others have suggested, you'll want to run this in your garage or workshop, especially since the unit is to be run continuously. For this type of entry-level kit, the durability is what you'd expect. Since I purchased this for a nine year old, I don't expect this hobby to be anything more than a fascination. As such, in my opinion, this is the perfect, middle ground kit for his needs. The kit is reasonably priced, but not too "kid-like".

 Thumbler's Tumbler MP-1 Rock Tumbler (Purchased on 08/19/2011)Sep 23, 2011
By Arizona1966
I was really looking forward to polishing rocks with my daughter but we set it up per the instructions, plugged it in and within 2 hours it had overheated and shut off. Now I have a 65 dollar piece of junk.
