Looking for recommendations. I've got a ton of brass I've saved over the last few years, and finally starting to do some reloading, and want to clean them up.

I'm looking to keep it at around $100 or so. Any I should look for in particular/stay away from?

Thanks again for all the help, everyone!

Naw, they are all about the same in my mind. I have a Franklin Arsenal because it's what Academy sells...no other reason.

Dillion probably has the best warranty though.

I bought a Hornady from Sportsmans warehouse years ago on a going out of business sale. Been happy with it.

Get the one from Harbor Freight, and their walnut media.

I have used the orange Lyman for over 20 years. Bought it at the time because it was the most inexpensive I looked at. If I needed one today I would probably go with the same because it’s held up and they are still pretty inexpensive.

I bought a used Midway tumbler 30 years ago. It did a good job and finally gave up the ghost last year. I replaced it with a Frankford Arsenal Quick-N-EZ and I'm pleased with it also.

Yep, me too.

Got a Frankford years ago lasted around 10Yrs used https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/su...-walnut-shell-reptile-bedding-54581.html
and car wax works great

orange Lyman here...
did not know HF had a tumbler!

HF has the single or double Thumber wet or dry tumbler.
And a vibratory cleaner.
Also a couple of grade of media.

Stainless pins to go with HF tumbler wet tumble and brass will look like new

This should do it for you at $100. Frankford Arsenal Platinum Series Rotary Tumbler Lite

I got the Harbor Freight vibrating polisher, and it didn't work out well for me.
If I didn't tighten the wing nut securing the lid sufficiently, it came loose and the lid vibrated off. Media flew out and it made a mess.
I tightened it more, and it ended up stripping the threads on the securing rod.
I used a spacer to get the wing nut up onto good threads, but it continued to come loose.
I finally double-nutted it to lock the lid down.
The lid broke.

I bought a vibrator from Mid-South Shooter's Supply which I'm now using. The Harbor Freight device went into the trash!

Went with a Frankford quick and easy I found on sale. At under $50, it felt like a good starting point.

I have been using a Thumlers Tumbler model B since the seventies. Works great. One belt change.
