    I'm a believer in keeping it simple. I think a good old tumbler that
    you know, tumbles, is just fine. I like the Thumbler's Tumbler (the
    red one such as Rio carries), but the Lortone is fine too. The lid
    for the Lortone requires like, 20,000 parts and is annoying. 

    The upside of the Lortone is that the barrel cannot roll off. 

    The Thumblers -- the lid is faster and easier to put on, there are
    fewer parts, the barrels can roll off, but the upside is you can
    have two barrels should you want them. 

    Some folks have gotten the cheap ones from Harbor Freight and it
    seems that they generally hold up to hobbyist use.
