Braat ~ "..which Vibe do you have?"
I have the little MT-4 unit. It holds about 3 lbs of rock I guess. I've never tried weighing rocks though.
On 50% speed the sound is OK. I can live with it. It is about as loud as 4 Rotary tumblers (30 lbs. of rock) when going at 50%.
Turn it up to 100% and it makes ridiculous amounts of noise which can clearly be hear (from within the garage, door closed), pretty much from 1/2 of the rooms in my home. Backing it down a notch, reduces the noise some, but it .. is .. loud.
So, I am only running it at 50%.
I could count running the unit as 1 mistake (vs. running at full speed). But, the unit is under performing in my experience so far. I am going to run a number of different ( grit / time / speed / media / etc ) experiments through it for a few months.
But if a Rotary continues to outperform it (even at twice the time, 1/2 the hassle), then it is going bye bye.
