Great product
By Walter L. Gaskins
My Dad used to have a rock tumbler when I was young, so I decided to get one for the family. The package contains the booklet 'Professional Gemstone Tumbling' which is a MUST-READ before starting (especially if you're a complete beginner like me). You might need to buy a buy a plastic colander and some ivory soap (as recommended in the booklet), but for the most part the package contains everything you need.I didn't treat this product as a toy, so I made sure I familiarized myself with all the steps before I began. Still, I let the first grind go for 3 days before opening the barrel when the booklet specifically states to 'open the barrel after 24 hours to release any slight amount of gas built up'. This caused the barrel lid to leak so I'm making sure I don't make the same mistake again. And when they say 'clean the barrel and stones thoroughly to remove all traces of the course grit slurry' to avoid scratching the stones in later steps, they mean it!It takes about a month to get the finished product, so you must be patient. Plus, this is messy business, so be prepared to get your hands dirty and heed the warnings not to pour the slurry down the drain (I didn't, but I can see how many people would be tempted to do so). Still, the first set of rocks turned out great and the kids loved them. We are already on our second batch after cleaning the unit and oiling it as the guide suggested. They recommend maintaining a logbook to keep track of the times and stone tumbled and any other information you wish to add. This is a great idea and keeps the family interested while the rocks tumble.Great product for the family. Works exactly as advertised.

By Karen A. Mason
After starting as a novice and I still am, I asked some people at a rock show in Oregon to make recommendations and their first was Lortone. I went online with Amazon and picked one because it came with some extras. It is great fun and we are just finishing our first start to finish rock polishing. For anyone starting this is the one. It does take time - don't think that magic - the rock tumbles a few times and it is done. There are stages that are explained and each stage may be at least five full days of tumbling. Patience is the name of the game and this kit with the four grits gave us a great view of the process.

By Ciara
i've been wanting a rock tumbler since i was a child,i have a collection of rocks of probably 150+ so my husband finally bought me one.i did about 3 days of review searches and reviewing the top brands and this kept coming up so i decided to try it since it was also a kit with grit and stone, etc. when i opened the box i instantly decided my collection of rocks had to wait because i wanted to use what they sent.it had rocks i had never seen before,just interesting and awesome.i started tumbling right away.directions are easy to fallow.i did call the number on the back of the booklet because when i 1st put the barrel on the spinning bars it'd stop spinning, but they were sweet and knew the product..but if i would of read the full booklet i would have known i jst needed to tighten the belt! lol it took me 2 min to tighten the belt and i was rock tumbling! i would recomend this to anyone who enjoys rocks/rock tumbling.I ALSO WANT TO SAY IT IS SO QUIET! MY DRYER MAKES MORE NOISE!!
