User Submitted Discovery Exclusive Next Generation Rock Tumbler Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-01-09 Perfect for the little rock collector in your life! Our daughter loves collecting rocks, doing the gem mining on vacation, and has quite a collection. We just knew this would be perfect for her and it has been. It seems to be great quality, comes with really neat rocks and a kit for making stuff with your rocks after they are done. I would recommend it for anyone who has a little rock collector in their life! Date: 2007-01-03 Great for budding geologists Having read previous reviews, I was worried about the noise, but we locked it in the garage surrounded by towels and pillows, and it's fine. The rocks are kind of small, some as thin as fingernail clippings, but the tumbler works great, and the rocks are beautiful. The process is very time consuming, but the end result is worth the effort. My child can see the rocks transform from dirty, jagged nothings into smooth, displayable gems. Date: 2006-08-07 suggest pay more for a semi-pro unit I bought this unit for my 9-year old daughter. It was easy to use but extremely loud. We live in an apartment and I was worried I was disturbing the neighbors - it really was that loud. It also burned out during the third tumbling step- we probably overloaded it, which is easy to do. I then bought a Lortone tumbler, which was about twice the price of this tumbler (sold on many web sites). However, what a pleasure to use. It has a rubber liner and tumbles so quietly it sound like a day at the ocean. We have tumbled several batches of rocks with the Lortone tumbler with no problems. I suggest ponying up the extra money if noise and durability are important to you. Date: 2006-06-19 VERY COOL but can be noisy I got this as a birthday present. I was surprised that it did not take very long at all. One bad part is that it is noisy. Even though it does not take a long time, have patients because it takes 2-7 days for the process to complete. I was extremly happy with the results. It is worth more than what you pay. It was a little hard to find the refil kits but i found them. Date: 2006-01-16 Does not last.. My kids where excited, when they received the rock tumbler as a gift. Very easy to use, but the problem is that it can not make it through the whole polishing process. The motor burns out at step 3 of a 4 step process, so we never did get the rocks polished.. Contacted the company, and have not heard back from them as of yet..
