Discover the beauty of polished stones !
Explanation: The motion in the barrel of the polisher simulates the natural action of flowing water or ocean waves. Beaches and riverbeds contain rocks and pebbles smoothed by water and the abrasive sand it carries. As rocks grind upon one another with constant water or sand in the mix, they begin to round and smooth. Although this is a constant process, it does not however, naturally polish the rocks. The complete process usually takes 4-6 weeks.

Pros:
Ease of Use: The Leegol Electric Rock Tumbler is remarkably user-friendly, making it a perfect entry point for beginners. Its simple operation allows for an easy start with minimal setup time, ensuring that users of all skill levels can begin their tumbling projects without a steep learning curve.
Compact and Durable Design: The size of this rock tumbler is a significant advantage for those with limited space. Its compact design does not sacrifice durability; the machine feels sturdy and well-built, capable of handling continuous use without issues.
Efficient Polishing: With a 3-pound capacity, this single barrel polisher is surprisingly efficient. It consistently produces smooth, polished stones, reflecting its effectiveness in tumbling a variety of rock types. The included instructions offer valuable tips for achieving the best results, which is particularly helpful for newcomers to the hobby.
Quiet Operation: Compared to many other rock tumblers in the market, the Leegol Electric Rock Tumbler operates relatively quietly. This is a significant advantage for users who live in shared spaces or prefer to run their tumbler for extended periods without the disturbance of loud noise.
Cons:
Single Barrel Limitations: The single barrel design, while efficient and space-saving, limits the amount of rocks you can polish at one time. For those looking to undertake larger projects or tumble different types of rocks simultaneously, this might be a constraining factor.
Long Polishing Times: As with most rock tumblers, patience is a virtue. The tumbling process can take several weeks from start to finish, which might test the patience of users eager to see immediate results. This is not a flaw of the Leegol Electric Rock Tumbler per se but rather a general consideration for newcomers to rock tumbling.
Manual Water and Grit Replacement: The process requires manual intervention to change the water and add grit between stages, which might be a bit tedious for some users. However, this is a common aspect of rock tumbling and something that enthusiasts grow accustomed to.
Final Thoughts:
The Leegol Electric Single Drum 3LB Rock Polisher is a solid choice for anyone looking to get into rock tumbling or needing a compact, reliable machine for smaller projects. Its ease of use, efficient polishing capability, and quiet operation make it stand out in its category. While the single barrel design and the inherent nature of rock tumbling's time-consuming process might be minor drawbacks, they are far outweighed by the machine's overall performance and value. Whether you're polishing stones for jewelry, educational purposes, or simply as a hobby, the Leegol Electric Rock Tumbler is a gem worth considering.
Yes, the lid can be a bit tough to get on and off this model, but it does not leak. And the tumbles, when finished, look amazing. I have two of these sitting side by side on a board on the floor with a heavy towel under them so the noise is really not an issue.
The shape of the barrel is round so it's less effective at work hardening than barrels that have octagonal shapes for more "crashing" to harden the metal.
The engine is pretty loud so I run it inside my storage unit.
I despise the lid, it's incredibly difficult to get on and off... Makes it unnecessarily hard to check on projects, however it doesn't leak so that's a plus.
Budget tumbler but I would say you get what you pay for (it's not effective for what I need and difficult to use because of the lid). My recommendation is to skip this and upgrade to something better quality.
Follow up 12/7/23: The company reached out to me and sent me a new tumbler for no charge. Hopefully this one won't seize up. They were very good to work with once I finally was able to reach them.
Top reviews from other countries
After 3 months of use, the motor started to make a very loud noise while tumbling. And then, for some reasons, it was repeatedly breaking the strap. I opened the compartment and tried to adjust the alignment to no avail. Very disappointing.
Update: after this review, Customers service contacted me and send me a replacement. So far, so good.
