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

The motors on the 2.5 and 4lbs machines are very under powered. I love the design, but you cannot put 2lbs of overall weight in the 2.5 tumbler nor 3lbs overall weight in the 4lbs machine and expect the machine to tumble. Instead they stall out. Too bad I wish I could recommend, but they just do not work as advertised.

Worked great for 1 cycle. Cycle 2 it started shutting off after 5 minutes. Allegedly they're sending parts but we'll see.

It’s generally a pretty good rock tumbler. It’s quiet and I like the programmable settings. However, the motor isn’t the strongest and I encountered one problem that might be why others have stated this unit will stop periodically. The base of the tumbler is rubber and depending on the rocks used, gas can develop and bulge the base a little bit. There isn’t much room from the rubber base and the edge of the tumbler. If it starts rubbing against the tumbler, the tumbler will slow down or stop altogether. You just need to burp the gas out of the container and it should be good to go.

When contemplating the purchase of a rock tumbler, it's important to consider not only its ability to polish stones to high luster but also the innate comedy goldmine that might await you in your email inbox. Buckle up, potential buyers, because owning a Vevor rock tumbler might be a more unpredictable journey than the rocks you plan to tumble. Upon receiving what could only be described as a purely decorative, albeit non-functional, piece of machinery, my hopes were dashed quicker than a rock against its unyielding tumbler wall. January 19th marked the beginning of what would become the epic saga of Brent vs. Vevor, a tale that is still being written in real time due to the impressive commitment Vevor has to sending broken replacements from halfway across the globe. Every good comedy needs a sidekick; mine arrived in the form of Vevor's delightfully paradoxical customer service team. With a penchant for contradicting themselves in almost every email, they provided a much-needed source of laughter in these trying times. Their grand proposed solution? They generously offered to ship me a new motor and circuit board—parts I could replace myself, giving me the esteemed opportunity to moonlight as an amateur engineer. It would be shipped from China, taking longer than the gestation period of a baby elephant. Sign me up! But wait, there's more! Moments after digesting this nugget of potential DIY misadventure, my email chimed again. Heads up, those crucial parts were not just delayed but presumably lost in the vast ether that is international shipping. Choice time: a refund or a brand-spanking-new tumbler? Regrettably, blinded by optimism, I did not choose the refund. Ah, the joys of what could have been! In the midst of this chorus of calamity, I find solace in Vevor's continued streams of communication. Emails promising expedited shipping that never quite materialized served as a reliable source of amusement, popping into my inbox with the regularity of your favorite sitcom. Imagine Kramer bursting through Seinfeld's door with promises of “just a few more weeks” and you've basically got the gist. In all seriousness—or what little seriousness this situation permits—if you delve into this rock-tumbling adventure, arm yourself with patience and a robust sense of humor. You may not end up with the polished stones of your dreams, but the ride promises to be an unexpectedly wild one. Should this ever-changing status of my order transform into an actual functioning rock tumbler, rest assured, I'll let the world know how well it turns plain rocks into gems. Until then, Vevor's rock tumbler: a product of endless potential and mystery, served with a hefty slice of sarcastic comedy.

My granddaughter loves it my buy another for my grandson can’t beat the price fast shipping and built really well

I am using this rock tumbler to tumble glass. It cannot handle 4 pounds as stated by the size but it works well for its size. I am happy with the tumbled glass that is coming out. kim

I’ve had this about six months now and the motor became weak and erratic. I contacted Vevor for support and after a few emails back-and-forth they emailed me a full new -improved unit to replace the old one. Thank you, Vevor!

I just wish it was a hair bigger for bigger rocks

Works great. 👍 Santa brought one to my daughter we are polishing rocks why does this need to be 100 characters long I have no more to say

I have tried all speeds and all times and machine shuts off. It will take me a year to polish one rock!
