I second the method.  I've got 2 Harbor Freight tumblers and I bought the 2 year extended warranty because I've got A LOT of brass to polish.  The brass comes out FANTASTICALLY clean and my finished ammo looks just like it came out of a factory box.  I've broken 1 drive belt so far.  One thing to be careful of is stuck SS pins in the flash holes.  The pins are easily removed with needle-nose pliers. 

For drying, I bought a cheap $6 hot plate from a thrift store and "cook" my brass at 200 degrees until all of the water has evaporated.  It takes just a few minutes and they are ready to go after a few minutes of cooling.
