Pros : Easy to program, change schedules, load and store multiple schedules
Cons : Controller is not attached to kiln, have to program in date and time on each startup.
Other Thoughts : This kiln is a big improvement over my previous 16" square 120 volt kiln. I had a problem with the touchscreen right out of the box, but the customer service and replacement were excellent. I find it easier to program using a stylus rather than my fat fingers. I love the visual control over firing schedules and the ease of transferring projects directly to the kiln floor for firing. Using this has made me rethink the way I use my other kiln, too. The manuals that came with the kiln are full of helpful tips. Great product!
