Reviews for Model T Kit Rock Tumbler (Toy) 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.
Reviews for Model T Kit Rock Tumbler (Toy) 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.
Reviews for Model T Kit Rock Tumbler (Toy) The Model T seems functional enough, but the smaller motor on the Model T concerns me. I bought in a hurry and should have considered the time necessary to tumble a batch of rocks. The larger motor and the dual barrels of the AR-2 would have better suited my needs, but for a first tumbler the Model T is great. If you intend to keep the original shape of your rocks then you may want to seriously investigate a vibrating polisher. The loss of edge using a tumbler is not to dramatic, but it does round off the edges on crushed or broken rocks. Rock tumbling is an exercise in patience! If you are not willing to wait then try another hobby. Overall I am quite pleased with the Model T, but I think I would have been happier with the AR-2. A couple of other notes: we have experienced minor leak problems with the barrel on the Model T, but I am not entirely convinced that it was not operator error. Keep it in a pan or cookie sheet just in case. For those concerned about noise, I could sleep in the same room with my Model T (for that matter I have dozed off in the chair in the room with it). The rubber barrel and use of water in the process are great noise reducers.
