I have the large Harbor Freight vibratory tumbler. It holds a lot of brass and has worked well for several years. The only negative is the weight of the unit. It is heavy and when loaded with brass, it's tough to dump for sifting. As I'm typing this, I'm thinking of trying some sort of sand scoop to scoop brass/media out of the tumbler. Hmmm... I have worn out and rebuilt a Lyman and Midway tumbler. I bought the cheaper small HF tumbler and use it for powder coating.

I want to try a Thumblers Tumbler, they look about as heavy duty as you can get.

Bought a Thumblers Ultra vibe #18 new in 1990. Can't even guess how many hours it has run, been left on for 24 hours+, 80°+ and 30°- but still runs like the day I bought it. Running on the original bowel but the pad on the base under the bowel is starting to break down some. I have bought a lot of reloading equipment over the years (can you say too much) but this tumbler and my two old Rock Chucker presses have been the constant never fail work horses for me.
