Reliable Tumbler
By M. L. Eyre
I've collected rocks (mineral specimens) since my Dad took me out to a road cut in the late 60s. We've used a number of tumblers through the years and even tried a vibratory tumbler. The Lortone 3A tumble stands with the best that we've tried. The container is easy to open and fill. The tumbler is quiet and very reliable. I've had to baby sit some other designs that look somewhat similar to this on (overheating, slipping belt, breaking belt); however, the Lortone runs without a problem quietly doing its job. The end product - a batch of polished stones is as good as any I've expected in the 40 or so years I've been tossing rocks into a tumbler.

loved it for 6 months while it worked ....
By Kate Creates
I've had my Lortone 3A tumbler for about six months and have loved it, or loved its results, anyway. I design "artisan jewelry" and use it about once or twice a week for about an hour at a time to clean and polish small items like earrings, bracelets, necklaces.I am writing this review because I am now shopping for another tumbler because my Lortone's motor is shot already, and is just chugging along slooooooowly and I'm just hoping to get the last piece cleaned before it dies completely.IMPORTANT EDIT: well, I called Lortone and they were soooooooooooo helpful!!!!!!!! I love these people and their product. turns out it was the "belt." they immediately sent me three new belts and walked me through the replacement. but my belts were wearing out at the rate of one every two or three months. so they told me that I was probably filling my tumbler with too much water, making it too heavy and stressing out the belts. bottom line: if you're making jewelry with any regularity, get a larger model. this one only handles three lbs., so with the shot and the water and a decent sized silver necklace, the belts won't last long. if you're just going to tumble earrings, this size is okay.

I bought my tumbler well over four years ago and it's performed exceptionally well. Of course, I'm not tumbling rocks, but rather fine silver and Precious Metal Clay. I use the stainless steel shot as the tumbling medium.To give you a better idea of how well this tumbler works, in addition to using myself I have taken and used it in many jewelry classes (well over 100) and it has traveled all over the country. I haven't had a single problem with my tumbler.
