Product Reviews
Pros
I used this on my very first project, which was a sunburst, so I wanted the copper affect. Works beautifully, particularly if give it a little extra buff.
Cons
Had to re-patina after I washed off the residue because of a hard water issue. Just wipe off the excess with a clean smooth rag (I used a pillow case) and it will be fine.

Pros
Good even heat without a rheostat (even though I tried one). My instructor recommended it and I've not been disappointed. I'm new at doing stained glass and this is super for the novice or the expert!

Reliability and power. Ease of cleaning. Compact size and additional table top, with pump, for small bit grinding.A real workhorse worth every penny.

The straight edge guide could be redesigned to simply "plug in" to the table top.

Pros
Small and quick to fire, uses much less electricity and takes very little time. Perfect for a dorm or apartment. Useful for someone not wanting to spend a lot to get started doing fusing.
Cons
Small size, but this is also an advantage.

I bought this awhile back, and it sat in a closet for a few months. I've got a large Jen Ken kiln and a smaller 9" kiln that I use for bead annealing and smaller fusing. I've used the 9" kiln for making nuggets and jewelry, but sometimes I just want to test some glass reactions, or fuse some coarse frit to make nuggets or pieces of small jewelry. This is PERFECT for making nuggets...I can fuse coarse frit in 3 minutes, and within about 8 minutes it's ready to use. Previously I used the 9" to do the same thing, and it took about 2 hours. This is a time-saver and a conveniently portable little kiln. I'm taking it to my parent's RV rally in a few weeks to make custom jewelry pieces for rally attendees.
