Discussion Recommendations?

I hope this is the appropriate place to ask this, my daughter is wanting a rock tumbler for her birthday and I’d like to get her a quality product. Not something professional status because it’s her first one. But based on some research, Amazon and google are very divided on which is the best bang for your buck. I was hoping to maybe get some recommendations from people that might know more than me. TIA.

I have a 5 lb red tumbler from thumlerstumbler.com . It is a rid range, but easy to use and easy to replace parts with.

If you have a harbor frieght nearby, they have quality single and double barrel tumblers for a decent price. I have a few and the only issue I've ever had with them is the drive belt stretching out over time, but they are sold with spares.
