Besides the $500+ top of the line model, are their smaller models just as good and durable?
Which model do you use?
Thanks!

Since it is horizontally positioned, I am assuming the opening is on the side of the drum? Are they using rubber seal? Does it last?

Do not purchase a vibratory tumbler from Harbor Freight. The media removes some of the black drum contaminating the media with black dust...sucks! I wil be ordering another cheapie frankford arsenal which lasted 4 years.
I have a 6lb Thumlers which came with 2 1 quart paint cans to tumble stones in. It must be 30 years old. 1 1/2 pounds of SS pins a squirt of Dawn and and 1/2 tsp. Lemi shine ,enough hot water to cover 100 45acp per can and an hour run time will produce the results displayed in other photos in this thread.
Removing the pins from bottle neck rifle cases can be tedious but there is no dust to contend with.
I was running a Lyman 1200 next to the Thumlers yesterday and that decided it for me once and for all. The Lyman will be gifted soon.
A downside that does need consideration is the need to dry the cases after wet tumbling. I rinse them in scalding water and shake them out in a wire colander and blow dry them dry.
