After reading reviews of other gear driven brands, I settled on the belt drive Lyman. I have used it several times. No leaks. It isn’t silent, but I didn’t expect it to be. Turn it on and leave it to do its job. I had about 300 rounds of the nastiest brass I have seen in a long time. 3 hours later, it looks like it is almost new. Happy so far.

This tumbler is by far the way to go! Before anyone sends it back for leaking, READ THIS FIRST! When I first used it, the lid kept leaking but the fix was very easy. "Don't" crank down on the lid because it will distort the rubber gasket. After the second try of it leaking I simply put a fine film of Vasoline petroleum jelly on both sides of the gasket, put the first lid on followed by the screw on lid and leaking never came back! The lid has to be snug but you don't have to kill it. The lid has never leaked since!!! It works perfectly and I will never go back to media tumbling. Great machine, you won't be disappointed!

After 5 years of polishing brass with a tumbler and media, I decided to upgrade to a Rotary Tumbler and I cannot express how I regret not doing it years ago...it is quicker (2 hours of tumbling), and the brass comes out like new...recommend this to anyone that still has a media tumbler....I was thinking about getting a Frankford Arsenal, but the Youtube videos show that you have to buy a huge magnet to seperate the stainless pins, after you get done pouring the water, brass and pins out.....I bought the Lyman ONLY because it has the trays to seperate the stainless pins....the trays work great and I know that you will love this Lyman product

The Lyman Cyclone Rotary Tumbler is absolutely amazing. I thought I was getting great results with the vibrating tumbler but I was shocked to see how black the water was when I put the same brass into the wet tumbler. I would highly recommend the Lyman.

This tumbler is huge. I love it. Works just like everyone has said. The inside of the tumbler is insulated with a thick lining to help quite it but it's still noisy. I have no problem with the noise as it just set it in the garage. I couldn't be more pleased. Wish I wouldn't have waited so long. If you need one don't wait around. Just buy the darn thing!! You will not regret it.
