Lortone 3A . There are many varieties and brands of rock tumblers, and I selected the Lortone 3A kit because of its price and basic features that satisfied the purpose I had for it, namely, to polish some beach stones that the family had gathered some months ago. The kit contains a sample of jagged rocks if you'd like to start from "scratch", but the beach stones we gathered were already smoothed and rounded, so it is a matter of "finishing the job"! The Lortone 3A comes with a single good-sided rubber tumbling chamber with a four-step polishing system of abrasives. In our first attempt at polishing, we began with Step 3 because nature had already smoothed the beach stones to this level. Step 4 performed the final polish beautifully.A couple of things worth noting from our experience: Amazon did a fantastic job delivering the unit in a timely fashion. Also, please consider what you feel your needs are. There is a two-chamber model that might be more fun for your family because it allows for more polishing work! And please consider that each step in the polishing process requires a full week to ten days, possibly longer depending on the hardness of your stones. Nature cannot be rushed, and very few children will enjoy the agonizing wait. Even as an adult, it can be difficult to wait patiently, so perhaps rock tumblers are more of an industrial or jewelery-making machine and less of a "toy". But if you have some raw materials like interesting beach stones or what not, it may be worth the small investment in this tumbler (or one like it). We were able to leave it running in the garage for all polishing stages, and it worked tirelessly with minimal noise and completely free of messes or leaks. Good luck!

Lortone Deluxe 3A Rock Tumbler Kit Reviews
Lortone 3A Rock Tumbler . I am very happy with this. I didn't realize it was considered a toy, but if it is, I am enjoying playing with it! I've had it runnin 24/7 for the most part since I got it and I love it. It seems to be very durable and the process is really amazing. I look forward to working with my grandchildren on projects with this rock tumbler in the future. I see no reason why this exact one won't be in working order still at that point.

Lortone Deluxe 3A Rock Tumbler Kit Opinions
Rock Tumbler . My wife is a jeweler and has been interested in creating some of her own beads and settings. She has found this to be great to this end. It is sturdy and comes with enough polishing material to complete a lot of projects.

Cons Review
Excellent gift . Purchased this as an early Christmas gift, the instructions are well written, and easy to understand. The one thing (which I already knew) is that this does take at least a month for the finished product, and there are not enough beads for the last process. Other than that Love it!!!
