Is one tumbler really that much better than another? All mine does is buzz.

I thought if someone was really going to consider something which is noticably different it would be ultrasonic case cleaning. http://www.6mmbr.com/ultrasonic.html

My neighbor uses a rotary style, he is very into his reloading. Not sure the brand. I have another buddy that has all Dillon and their warranty is truly awesome, at least it has been for him. I have an orange one that I got at Spotsmans. I think the major difference you will find is in the noise they produce, but I am no pro so don't stake a purchase on me.

I think the other differences are volume they will hold, and the lid.  Some have solid lids, some see-through, some that double as a media sifter.
The only difference between a butt kisser and a brown noser is depth perception.

I got a blue one (not a dillon) has a clear lid, vibrates very quietly and does a great job.  Bought it at Bob's in Longview.   :dunno:

I have a big blue one (Dillon), and a small orange one (Lyman), and I just gave my other blue one to a guy I work with who is just getting started in reloading.  They all seem to do about the same job.  Different media will get different results.

The only thing i would suggest is to get one with a rubber bowl.  It makes it exteemly quite.  I got mine from McMaster Carr it was worth the price, just to keep my sanity  :bash: & not have to listen to the buzz.

I think they're all pretty much the same, but mine's red. The type of media is what would make the difference.
