Harbor Freight has a very inexpensive tumbler. You can get a double-barrel one (but they always have to be run together) OR you can get a single and then buy an extra barrel. They were on sale a while back (this sale happens often) for $30 so DH said just go ahead and buy 2! They don't have a reputation for lasting a LONG time, unlike higher-end ones, but for $30 I thought it was a good deal.

I have a harbor freight double barrel and it seem to work fine. I went through a few because I was reading the instructions which would have one overfill the barrels. now I fill them up no more than a quarter full and I haven't broken a belt or burned up a motor. nice people replaced the damned thing every time I broke it, too.

do not buy a dry tumbler.
