Tumbler - Rotary vs Vibrator
Just wondering what kind of tumbler is better to use. A rotary type tumbler with a barrel that turns over, or one of those ones that have a bowl on top and vibrate.
noise? speed getting job done? longevity/service life of unit? does a better job? ???
Thanks
Here are some links to further illustrate what i'm talking about, not recommending these harbor freight models, just to illustrate the different actions.

Re: Tumbler - Rotary vs Vibrator
You could probably justify the purchase to your wife better if you got the vibrator. You know... the whole two birds with one stone concept.

Re: Tumbler - Rotary vs Vibrator
Try saying vibratory instead of vibrator next time. The responses will probably stay on topic that way.

I've used a MidwayUSA vibratory case cleaner for 25+ years now. Never had a problem and IMO it is quieter than a tumbler type.

I have Lyman vibratory.
Keep it in the shed, noone even knows it's running.

Re: Tumbler - Rotary vs Vibrator
I bought mine back in 1985 and have been using it ever since.
I believe it is a lyman, but honestly don't remember and since I'm not at home I can't look...
But then again I have 3 vibratory tumblers.. 2 orange colored ones and a blue one.. LOL
