Harbor Freight has their tumblers on sale. I only mention this because the manufacturer seems to be the same as the old Midway tumbler everyone liked.
$34.99

I bought one nine months ago and it has served me well so far.

Guys, I recently went through 5 of these tumblers, and didn't find one that would work more than 1.5 hours at a time before it overheated. Once it would cool off, the tumbler would restart, but I just got tired of going back and forth to the HF store. I spoke with their technical support people, and they told me that they "thought they had fixed that problem", I ended up ordering one from Midway USA for $30.00, and it has worked fine for me. Don't get me wrong, I love HF (their calipers are great for reloading) but I wouldn't buy one of their tumblers.

I think the HF problem is with limited ventalation of the base. A friend has one that over heated so he drilled a series of 3/8" holes around the lower side, just above the bottom, and spaced an inch apart. He says it runs cool and does well now.
Trueblue, I can shoot 500 yards without a scope. With a scope, I might even hit something occasionally! ;)

I have the HF tumbler, never had any problems. Paid full price for it though. :(

While I'll all for a bargain, this tumbler always gets mixed reviews from folks who've owned it. Save yourself the headache and go with a Frankford Arsenal tumbler.

I got the Cabela's tumbler because it has a Clear top, and came with small media and a sifter for 54.00

I recently bought a Frankford Arsenal tumbler. It had a bad off/on switch. I had to send it back for repairs. It took a month. I had to pay the shipping. I was not happy.
