Because I tumble before I deprime I don't have a media stuck in the flash hole problem. I kinda use a "toss like a salad" technique in the sifter. The only time I have had a problem getting media out of the case is after adding liquid polish (I use "Nu Finish the once a year car polish") and not letting the tumbler run long enough to break up the inevitable clumps that form adding liquid to ground up media.

As for the "works as good as the chargemaster" thing, I highly recommend drafting "volunteer" college kids to do it for you.
