When selecting a vibrating tumbler, you should consider the capacity and noise level. A tumbler that does not contain a water tank will produce a lot of noise. It is best to choose a machine that has a low noise level and a large capacity so you can use it for a large area. A tumbler that uses a metal barrel will produce more noise than a rubber barrel. You should also consider the location of the machine. A location with a utility sink, adequate storage space, and an electrical outlet is best.
