Frankford Arsenal Tumbler?

2 years with mine and it's still ticking. I bought with the mindset that if I got a year out of it I'd still be happy. Lots of hours on it and it's ALWAYS overloaded!
FWIW I also have a Frankford kinetic bullet-puller that has seen much use and still has held together.
Good value for the money I think.
 
Not as effective as my Lyman but I keep it around for those days when I have a lot of brass to get clean.

The Frankford is MUCH noisier than the Lyman as well, I can hardly stand to be in the garage when it is running.
 
Mine is great, can't hear it running in the basement when I'm up stairs. Not sure how it can be less effective that others? Mine will take my brass right to a nice shine if I leave it for a few hours.

Worth it. No need to buy the expensive ones IMHO.
 
I bought one a few years back from WSS Calgary and had it shipped here. After a bit
of use, the thing quit shaking. Took the bottom apart and found the screws came loose
on the weights that made it shake. Just moved them back to original and tightened the
screws back up. Hasn't missed a beat since. Tad noisey but I leave it running out in the
shop with a timer and forget about it.
 
I have had mine for a year and cleaned 3-4 thousand rounds and still going good. A local shop tried one for cleaning before reselling and it only lasted a 6-7 weeks but they had it going 10 hours a day 7 days a week. They are a bit noisy butyou can't beat the price.
 
I have had mine for about 3 years, quit about a year ago, shook one of the electrical connections apart in the bottom, was a relatively easy fix but really should have been assembled better. I'm thinking these are China specials but good value for the money. Going along with my cheap theme I use a wire wastepaper basket that fits into a separate plastic bucket as my separator/bucket - $2 for both at dollarama
