Frankfort arsenal made all the midway tumblers for them for years. Frankfort just wanted their own name on them. so Midway obliged.I got mine for 2 reasons, I wanted to try molycoating and wanted a case cleaner, so I got the moly kit with an extra bowl. I couldn't be hapier with both. I use corn cob with flitz polish for knock your eyes out bright brass. In 2 hours too!

Yes, a tumbler can be noisy. I put mine in the small coat closet right by the front door to my apartment and after a while, I don't hear it anymore. The more brass you put in it, the louder it gets. You could put yours in the bathroom and close the door or put it out in the garage or put it outside altogether. I like to clean my brass about two hours; they come out almost shiny-bright, like little sticks of gold. After that, I soak 'em in hot and soapy water, agitate them around with my hands and some rags in the bucket to get the dirt that's in the media off of them, rinse 'em good under warm water, then dry them in my food dehydrator for about two hours. The washing loosens the powder residue inside the cases; the water always comes out really black. I feel I am getting a real cleaning when I do this, but it's probably not necessary. I also scrape the primer residue from every primer pocket; that's probably unnecessary, too.
