Hi, I'm new and very excited to be here. I recently started tumbling and I'm having a ball! Except...I'm pretty sure I need a vibe tumbler . I've seen the tumble vibe 5 at a good price. Is this machine good? Any recommendations would be appreciated. Thanks!

Welcome!
Do you mean the Raytech TV-5 Standard Vibratory Plastic Tumbler? I have one and it works fine. I bought an additional bowl for polish only to save me some time on cleaning the bowls between stages. My biggest complaint is that it is noisier than those vibes with non-plastic bowls. I still plan to get a Mini-Sonic Vibratory some day.

Welcome to the forum from South Dakota! There's a difference between "need" and "want"*. A person doesn't "need" a vibe tumbler. Rotary tumblers can accomplish the same thing as a vibe. The vibe...however...saves considerable time! *In most cases there's a difference between need and want...when it comes to rocks and rock related things, I will accept the two words are interchangeable and/or synonymous! LOL
