Leegol Electric Rock Tumbler Machine (Double Barrel)

Very disappointed. The tumbler broke after two days. A tumbler should be able to consistently run for a week or more. I have 2 others that are terrific and have run almost nonstop for years. Sure you need to change belts and oil here and there, but they work hard and well with proper upkeep. This thing came out of the gate sputtering. Cheap construction and worthless. Trying to get a full refund. Not well made! Sadly disappointed.

Looks great . Good price. However, it eats belts. Leegol Electric Hobby Rock Tumbler arrived with Five (5) belts extra for a total of Six (6) belts. In the first 3 days it ate its first belt, replaced 2nd belt lasted only 2 days and it did not get any better. Within 3 week it had eaten all Six (6) belts. Totally unacceptable. Would not recommend.

Pros: I like that I can tumble two three-pound loads at once.The price was right.Cons: Access to the drive-belt requires screw-removal. Given that the belt comes off easily, it is a pain to remove all four screws to reattach.The manual had so many grammatical errors, it was kind of comical. If one were trying to understand from a beginner's perspective, it would be difficult to follow. I went to rocktumbler.com for accurate instructions about tumbling in general.Removing the lids to release gasses and transition between steps is super difficult. I use a vice to gently squeeze the container so that I can get the lids out with a putty knife. This isn't something that a person with small hands or a child could do without more tools.The lids bend quickly and by the end of step 2, I am concerned that I will need to replace them soon.Overall: Fun, but not easy to operate, particularly with the instruction problems. Limited durability will likely be a problem.

The driving rod the canisters roll on freely moves in and out and after a short time of running always comes out of its bushing and everything falls to the ground.

Bought to do smaller stones, and while this has been working ok, there are a couple of things that are worth mentioning that would probably make me go with a different brand now that I know. The first thing I noticed was that the instructions are horribly written and full of spelling errors and poor word choices. The tumbler cup caps are not at all easy to put on and take off. I do not think they are going to last very long. You have to wedge them into the opening of the cup and then tighten them down. To remove you must unscrew the know from the top, remove the top cover, re-install the knob, and then pry the top out of the cup. Not very easy. Also, maintaining the motor is not going to be easy as it is completely encased making it impossible to lubricate without removing 4 screws that hold the cover on. Not a good design.

Total garbage!!!!!!!I filled the barrels to the recommended weight and set them on the tumbler. About 3 hours latter the motor had completely given up.not sure just what happened yet, but I am extremely un happy

Very unsatisfactory!!!! I got to my second week of tumbling rocks and it burned out !!!!! I have emailed and not got a response!!! Trash do not buy !!!!! If I could give it 0 stars I would !!!!

I have had this tumbler for 2 days, loaded with rocks and oiled per instructions. Ran first day fine, unplugged at night for safety since reviews are so bad. Plugged in on 2nd day rand 4 hours went to check on it and its no longer spinning and smells of something burning. Wanted it to work but sadly it is as bad as most reviews state it is. I have started the return process.

Great value for the money. I like this model because it has the two containers to tumble rocks. When I first set it up one of the roller bars was really squeaky, I put some coconut oil on it, and a lot quieter now. It does make some noise, but not super load. If you have a garage or shop, set it up there, if you have to set it up in your place, use an extra room. Do not place the unit on a table, it's safer on a floor, the machine can slightly move around at times from all the spinning components. If its on a table it could potentially, over time, move towards the edge. If someone is handy they could install some guards to the table, or work bench, that would stop it for sure moving at all. The movement is very slight, but over time you do notice it. Right now I am polishing up some red jasper found on a river near me.

Firstly, the lids are extremely difficult to remove. It's difficult to do without bending the metal of the lids, and as a result I doubt the rubber seal will last long, and the metal may fatigue and break where the screw knob attaches.Secondly, it got really noisy after a few hours, and after a little over a day, it no longer works. The motor turns, but it won't turn both drums. I suspect there's a bad bearing somewhere, and as a result, there's too much friction to turn the drums and the belt is slipping.

Got it out of the package and immediately had to take the screen off the bottom to reinstall the drive belt and adjust it. Oiled it and set it going with one container. The unit seized up the next morning. So I took it apart, re-lubricated it and adjusted the belt again. On my second attempt, it seized up again in a few hours. Not sure what to try now, but would love a replacement...

The rock tumbler did not work. Not even one time.

Works well. I have put 3 batches of rocks through and running a 4th. No issues.
