Pros : This kiln is very easy to use, including the TAP controller! The shelf is removable, so you can work on your project outside of the kiln and then just set it inside to fuse it! Another great feature is the "Cool Touch" design! When the temperature inside the kiln is at 1500 Degrees F the top of the kiln is around 120 Degrees F. This kiln design also reduces the distance the kiln can be installed close to walls or other objects. Delphi also offers a complete fusing package called The Ultimate Studio in A Box. This kit is a great deal, as you get everything you need to start fusing! The kiln also has the TAP 2 controller that is preprogrammed fusing schedules for both 90 & 96 COE glass.
Cons : If you have "Fat Fingers" you need to use end of pen cap to program the fusing schedules. However, still very easy to program!
Other Thoughts : Plan on purchasing the HS 24G kiln in the future, to handle even larger projects, as it is 24" x 24" and has 14" inside height!
