Great little kiln

This a great kiln. I've done quite a few firings now and have been super impressed with the results. The customer service at hot-clay is second to none and always there to assist. Highly recommend.

Love my new kiln
Nabertherm perfect kiln for new potters

This is a perfect kiln for potting at home, making bowls, mugs and plates. I bought some extra kiln furniture which allows me to fire more at the same time if I’m firing flat items so would recommend this too. Really great buy!! It’s reliable and small enough to not be bulky. I really love my kiln.

Super small kiln

I've done a few bisque and glaze firings now and have been impressed! Hot Clay were quick to advise and delivery was well communicated. Instruction manuals are very thorough. The B500 controller is easy to navigate once you're used to it and the pre set programmes are easy to change or tweak. The app is amazing (if your WiFi will reach) so you can keep an eye the progress of each firing then cooling without constantly popping out to the kiln. I'd have loved to get the next size up, but no regrets here I'm very pleased!
