Tee and I had dinner with Rick last Monday evening. Rick told us about the Reveo being made available from A-MAZE-N Products at a good price. I just ordered mine for Christmas, for me!!

Art I think it is a Reveo knock off but still a great price. You have to use a hand vacuum pump to create vacuum in the canister but I don't mind that. I was looking at the marinade express but did not care for the $300 price tag.
For $99 shipped this is a great deal. Glad I bought one
The AGS Tumbler actually was the first table top tumbler to come out back in 2000, and Eastman REVO knocked them off.
Eastman did a much better job advertising, and therefore seems to be in the forefront.
Because of a series of personal and financial setbacks, the AGS Tumbler stopped production
I happened to find a bunch of them sitting in a warehouse, waiting to find new homes
At first, I thought the hand pump was kinda hokey, but after using it a few times, I realized the hand pump removes the air much faster than a little vacuum pump.
The instruction say 8-10 strokes with the vacuum pump, but I find it depends on the volume that's in the tumbler. I find that 12-18 pumps works well.
