Model T Kit Rock Tumbler Reviews:

This is a great rock tumbler. Pretty easy to use, seems to be very durable, easy to clean, and not very loud. I read about how loud the tumblers would be but this one is pretty darn quiet. The rubber casing on the tumbler really helps. Still needs to be put in a garage or playroom where it won’t bother you but generally just the sound level of background noise. This is a great tumbler for kids as the instruction booklet has great pictures and easy to follow step-by-step instructions. My boys (age 7 and 4) have been so excited with each stage of the rock tumbling process. We have marked the day when we will move the rocks on the calendar and made a ceremony of cleaning and moving the rocks and loading the next grit pack and water. The tumbler is easy to open and easy to clean. We have kept it oiled so things are working very well. **Make sure to order an extra grit pack as the tumbler only comes with enough for one tumble.**
After reading all the reviews on cheaper tumblers, we chose this for our 8-year-old daughter. It really works! We put it in the basement and we were not bothered by the noise at all. After 4 weeks of tumbling using the different grades of polishing grit, my daughter was rewarded with beautiful, smooth “gems”. She was delighted. The sample rocks provided were varied and interesting. We will be ordering more grit to make more.
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.
