1.0 out of 5 stars Rock Tumbler sounds like a rock slide!!, January 9, 2007

This review is from: Deluxe Rock Tumbler by Mega Brands (Toy)

My wife and I were very excited to get this for our son. It seemed like such a great idea to see rough rocks go in and when the process was done smooth ones come out. Well, we never thought that the machine had to run for a MONTH!! A solid month with no shut offs. This is the first problem. The second issue we had with this is it is incredibly loud. So, running it for a month wouldn't have been such a problem if it didn't sound like a rock slide! I do NOT recommend this product unless you have a shed that you can keep the thing in while it is running. Major thumbs down on this one.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not worth it, January 13, 2007

This comes with its own bag of rocks to tumble, but the assortment is quite lacking. Also, included is only enough "grit" material for one set of rocks.

My daughter received this rock tumbler as a gift and all of my children loved it - the finished product is really impressive if you have kids who like really shiny and very interesting rocks. She used them to make jewelry and she also gave several away as gifts. Yes, it is loud, but I've never known anyone who didn't keep their rock tumbler in the garage, my family included. The fact that it takes a long time to get the finished product is part of the learning experience; there are two stages to the polishing process and kids learn that it takes a lot of polishing to produce such a beautiful rock in the end. The Grand Canyon didn't erode in a day, right?! Give this rock tumbler a try and you won't be sorry!
