I am looking to get a tumbler, and I've read the stories about the HF Chicago Electric tumbler, which looks very much like the Leegol tumbler. Are they the same thing?

My friends Leegol looks just like my CE. Only difference is the color, and mine came with a 90 day warranty plus option to buy an extended warranty for one to two years. His came with a 30 day warranty.
After three months use his motor is going out. Leegol is ignoring him.

Pretty much the same. I bought one of their vibe tumblers just to try out. I left an honest review and they reached out to me and offered me a tumbler designed specifically for running rock (the vibe was a metal polishing unit). I said sure, but I stand by my review. I figured I would never see it. They sent a 2 barrel rotary that was identical to the HF model (except color). I ended up giving it to a co-workers kid (he inherited my HF ones originally). Ironic thing is both tumblers included crushed walnut shell as "free" tumbling media. Honestly they are a crap shoot. I spend a little more and run Thumler's. Been running them for 20 years and just replaced my first motor (still using my original barrel!)

Thanks for the info. I'm going to save a bit and get a decent one base on what I've been reading here.

I have 6 THumlers running and have never regretted purchasing one! My oldest is 20 years old, my newest is 5 months old. Really hard to tell the difference between them.
