If you do catch the bug, Thumbler's Tumbler and Lortone make good quality polishers that should last many years, but they are much more expensive. And you can buy various rocks and supplies (grit, polish, etc) at rockshed.com and kingsleynorth.com.
The traditional rotary tumbler requires you to tumble your rocks for a few weeks in "rough" grit. Then 1 week in medium, 1 week in fine, and then 1 week in polish. Depending on how long the first phase takes it can take 1-2 months. To answer the question about shortening the cycle... I do the first "rough" phase in a rotary tumbler. Then I use a vibratory polisher that does the last 3 phases in 10 days.
