I love my FART. I have nothing to compare it against, so I can't say it is better or worse than anything else out there. I have used mine for 2+ years now and have cleaned tens of thousands of rounds without any issues. I am 100% satisfied, and if it broke tomorrow, I would order a new one before the day was out.
In addition to the FART, I have the Frankfort Arsenal wet media separator. This works really, really well and has some really cools small, but totally worthwhile features that make it work well with wet tumbling (for example, a screen strainer at one of the corners so you can pour out the water and not lose the pins, plus a nice lid so you can easily tumble the pins out of the brass). I also highly recommend this tumbler over any others that I have used in the past for dry media tumbling. It was well worth the investment.
I also have the Frankfort Arsenal brass dryer, which is also awesome, but I hear folks say that any old food dehydrator will work, and that even Wal-Mart sells some really inexpensive ones. I have a wall plug timer for mine, so I can set it and leave it, and it will shut off automatically after an hour or so. I can even set it to dry and go to bed and have to worry about it being on all night. This happens more than I expected, especially if I am processing several loads in a day, the last load always seems to come off of the tumbler right at bed time.
