Personally I would go for the larger Chinese one. The one from USA is really too small unless you are cleaning a few 9mm pistol cases. The drum diameter is 6", this is quite possibly outside diameter, wall thickness of the rubber drums is about 3/8th so not much room for 308 type cases when it's already half full of pins.

What's wrong with the Chinese one? Almost any machine you now buy will have a motor made in China/India or some place.

If a company orders a hundred or so motors, scopes, etc. from China they will badge them up how you want - When they are retailed in the UK they are marked up 500% or so.

These rock tumblers are designed for continuous running, polishing rocks they are left going for days at a time with very abrasive media.
