RCBS customer service is second to none. It is worth a little extra

I normally only buy RCBS, but I ended up with a Lyman dual bowl tumbler. It is 5 or 6 years old now and still works great.

I have had a Miway 1292 for about 14 years and have had no problems with it.

Midsouth Shooters Supply has a nice Lyman for about $50.00.  It's pretty much the best for the money IMO.

I have the Lyman 600 - I think it's around the $50.00 one and it has served me well for many years. It's smaller and doesn't hold an ungodly number of cases at one time, but then I don't really need one that does.

I'm going to go along with Skunk. I don't do mass quantities of brass. Maybe 50 9mm at a time, 40 .223 at a time or maybe 30 .308 at a time. The Lyman 600 Turbo has worked well for me and has been going for several years.

 I have two, one is a medium sized Dillon and my main one is a red and black jobber we have had for 25 years. Right now, I cannot remember the name, but they are a well made and known for their tumblers and vibratory cleaners.

 I have sold a TON of Lyman 600's and everyone seems to like them, Midway also has one that has been good.

One thing to get and keep on hand is DILLON CASE POLISH. Its the best I have found. the Lyman junk always seems to produce "cloudy" brass. The Dillon additive produces a brilliant, gleaming polish.
