Review: Got this for a present for my partner and he loves it. This one was a upgrade from the last one he has, it has a bigger barrel. And it really is super quiet. It's out in the garage and every time I'm out there, I keep thinking I have washing on. Highly recommend.
Review: Perfect for those new to the hobby. If you are looking for the cheapest best option and this is it (there are cheaper but they are not the best). I wouldn't start with a model of any lower quality or with any less features than this one. They aren't kidding when they say its quiet. Honestly sounds just as quiet if not quieter than a modern dish washer or dryer. You could easily have this set up anywhere in your house and just hear a consistent hum. It's not grumbly and annoying either, its just white noise. The tumblers performance seems good so far, I am running sea glass through it now. I like that it has a larger barrel. It's wider at least which makes it easier to reach into and in my opinion allows the parts to tumble better because they have slightly more space to fall when they go round each turn. I haven't been nice to the thing, letting it collect dust and mud as I check things. It's held up to the grit and grime of tumbling. I'll clean it fully once this session is complete but I don't want to stop and clean every time so I'm just letting it go and seeing what it can take. The settings are simple to understand and the display is nice and clear letting you know exactly where you are in your process. I usually just scribble the info about what is tumbling on the front with a dry erase marker which is great with this enclosure. Another cool feature is it will keep the current time saved in the event of a power outage so you can just plug it back in and go. If you are just starting out, don't go with the $40 Walmart entry level kit they offer, upgrade to this one, it'll be well worth it. Buy once, cry once. Otherwise you will go through 2-3 of those cheaper models before deciding the noise is bothering you regardless of how well they work. Enclosed is the way to go.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I need a replacement barrel, i have searched without finding one. where do get one?**
A: For parts under warranty, please contact us directly using the customer service contact information locate on the box and/or the instruction manual.

**Q: Is this dual voltage?**
A: The unit has a solar panel plus batteries 
Just started to use the device about a month ago

**Q: Can you make Seaglass in this Tumblr?**
A: I put thicker glass pieces in the tumbler 
The glass came out with rounded corners 
Very happy with it

**Q: The tumbler was so quiet for the first 5 days, then the knocking sound began.  I’ve double checked the lid, etc. and it’s still happening.  Why?**
A: I’m guessing that it’s either the rocks or stones inside the tumbler, could be there is a small leak and there isn’t as much water inside. That was what happened to me. It could be the rollers need oiling also. The whole process is pretty simple, there aren’t a lot of things to check. Good luck!  It’s a great hobby

I love this tumbler! Sadly, the barrel popped only 3 months after I bought it and it's been making this clicking sound since. I think it was from tumbling pyrite? I cleaned it as best I could but the clicking persists. Can't find any tips on how to resolve it.
