Review: A rock tumbeler that works - Ths was a replacement gift for a cheap rock tumbler, far better quality and eaiser to use, it works and is easy to use. It is also far quieter than the cheaper tumbler. It turned out to be an excellent and well received gift, well worth paying more and getting a product that works.
Review: Gerat set, one of the best gifts I have ever bought... - One of the best gifts I have ever bought for my daughter... She is 8 and very much into all kinds of rocks and crystals, she has quite a big collection of ready polished stones but now she enjoys tumbling them herself. She has even added some other stones and sea glass to the tumbler. The tumbler comes with a good amount of raw rocks in the set but it does not really say how many of them to put inside the barrel in one go. We have added half of the rocks but then realized there is only one sachet of each type of the grit. Therefore once we're finished with each of the grits we have strained them through coffee filter papers and dried them out on the heater to save them for the second batch of the stones. It would be really useful if the set was coming with more grit or at least for it to be available separately to top-up. There are National Geographic tumbler refill packs that come with the grit but there are only two types of refills (gemstones or jaspers mix), and once you have all of the stones you want just grit alone, not the same rocks. Keep in mind that the tumbling may take weeks, it took us 3 full days for the first grit to lose all the rough edges, 3-4 days for grit #2 and then 5 days for grit #3 and lastly another 5-6 days for the last fine grit. It all depends on the effect you want to achieve and the type of rocks, harder stones like the hematite take longer than rose quartz for instance. Nevertheless, this is a great set, comes with everything needed to start tumbling the stones, there are even strainer and some jewelry findings included in the set to make use of the stones. Recommended.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is there any chance of the tumbler causing a fire if left on? For example if i went out would the tumbler be safe to leave on?**
A: tumbler has been left on for the day when i've gone to wrok, multiple times. Never caused me an issue. Motor shouldn't generate enough heat friction to start a fire, and electrics shouldn't cause an issue because the fuse would tirp out the electrics

**Q: How loud is it? Compare to something?**
A: The volume of noise will depend on many variable, but the decibel range will be 80-88. You can find many decibel charts online.  But for comparison this is in the range of a hair drier and truck level.

**Q: can it Polish sea glass**
A: Absolutely. We have tested various pieces of glass and it cone out looking really good.

**Q: What is the wattage**
A: Our Pro tumbler has a watts power output of 13 watts at max efficiency, the starter would be under this max.
