Ok so new guy here making a review video I know little about BUT I made one because I couldn't find one...
As we just got in the Rock tumbling to make larp mats, I had bought a few different tumblers because I wasn't quite sure of the differences. Extreme tumbler has a lot of features for the money and can produce product faster while carrying additional payload. This video is a side-by-side comparison of both the tumblers that I bought so people can see the major differences.
Anyway, just posting this here. Comment at will and let me know any suggestions you might have for our next videos.

The "extreme tumbler" barrel sure looks like a Thumler's 15 lb barrel painted black with different "wingnuts" on it. Why is it called the Rebel 17 if it is the same barrel as the Thumler's 15?
The faster RPM - about 40 RPM according to your website - might be good for rough grinding rocks. May really speed things up in the rough grind. I wouldn't want 40 RPM to do fine grits or polish stages.
Be good for cleaning brass. Thumler's also has a high speed motor to do the same. Price seems to be comparable to Thumler's.
Comparing it to a Thumler's 12 lb model is kinda apples to oranges.
The base on the Extreme Tumbler looks sturdier. Like the pillow block bearings mounted on the base like that. AND... that black is sexy!
ETA: I like that the inside of the drum is also powder coated.
where is it made?

The extreme is a stronger machine against the AR_-12.. I was designed for and in Reloading circles to polish Brass cases faster . The motor RPM. is 3100. . I feel it is to fast for Rock tumbling. I have seen one up close and it is sturdy I agree apples and oranges

Some questions are probably best left unasked.

I just relayed Pat and captbob's comments to my wife, she said easy, larps are descended from naugas, that's the animal that used to be hunted for their hides. Naugahide was widely used for auto upholstery before hunted to near extinction, now a manufactured copy.

Larp in my experience stands for "live action role play".... So I guess a special mat used for one of the stories they're acting out? Not what I'd be using tumbled stones for, but to each his own.

A larp is a small songbird. I believe they line their nests with tumbled stones, a "larp mat".
