Customer Reviews for VEVOR Rock Tumbler Kit 1lb Rock Polisher Rough Gemstones 4 Polishing Grits

This tumbler is everything that the manufacturer has advertised. It's easy to use, it's not as noisy as others, and it is durable. Best of all, no belts and no leaks, and it has easy to understand instructions for operating. The stones that came with it were very disappointing. By the time the process is over, they had decreased in size drastically, most being unusable for anything. Other than that, I'm happy with my purchase !!

This is a great product for my new craft project. It is easy to use and easy to set up.

I'm a rock goblin with a variety of tumblers (Lortone, Nat Geo, Harbor Freight) my husband saw that Vevor was now making tumblers and suggested I try one. I read loads of reviews and finally got the little hobby tumbler. She's been running like a champ for a good 7 weeks now. I have my own grit, so I haven't bothered using the grit that came with the kit. As a seasoned tumble-aholic, I'm going to add a bit of advice to anyone who may be purchasing this tumbler as a newbie to tumbling... after initial setup of the machine, THROW AWAY THE TUMBLUNG INSTRUCTIONS! You will not get the smooth and shiny rocks you're hoping for with the included instructions. There are several fantastic tumbling tutorial videos on YouTube! ***also I do not suggest tumbling the included rocks together as they are all different hardnesses*** they will destroy each other, and there isn't enough included stones to fill the barrel to the appropriate level for a successful tumble. IMO the best stones to use for beginners is agate, quartz, and jasper. So far I've been happy enough with the Vevor tumbler that I got a second one!

Such a great tumbler. The price, size and quality of the product is exactly what you want when getting your first tumbler. The product seems so well made and feels like a rock/mineral enthusiasts designed it. Now I don't know how long the machine will last after so many hours of use but I have a feeling that if you care for it that it'll care for you.

Such a fun, and great hobby to set and forget it. And then when you finally make it to the tail end of the process, it is such an amazing experience seeing the finale result. And not to mention it’s good to be able to have kids involved in this. And they love it. I’d say if you have the extra money to spare and are looking for something such as this, then I can’t recommend it enough. No matter if it’s just for you, couple, kids, family or what, it’s a great hobby and project for any situation honestly.

There are either videos online or reviews where others have said to disregard the supplied instructions - with good reason. The instructions relay the \"safest\" method of working with the tumbler, but it may give better results to go outside of the box. Things like adding sand to the mix or changing the speeds may give better results. Overall though, even when following the instructions and using just the supplied items - you'll get great results. 5/5 easily.

Quiet machine runs great so far

This doesn't look and operate like a cheap hobby tumbler. It's much much better. Motor is strong, variable speed, day timer are solid. The barrel is solid rubber lined along with the locking lid, no leaks, great designs. Positive results.

I love the quality of stones this produces, in about a third of the time that my other tumbler does! I’ll be buying another one soon

Using to polish metal items(small) using stainless steel polishing media. The unit did not come with operating instructions. I'm getting an \"E2\"(error code 2?) message and the unit turns off. Can anyone tell me what this means? Are instructions available online?
