I Love this Kiln!

I took a lot of time deciding which kiln is right for me, looking at all the different makes and sizes I went a bit kiln mad. As a newbie to pottery I was looking for something not to complicated, easy to use. I looked at kilns around 60 to 70 litres in size as wanted it to grow with me and house my work. The Ikon 61lt had everything I needed.
I was pleased I upgraded to the wi-Fi as it’s so convenient for me to check on it when I’m at work
Every firing has been very successful and I’m always excited to open the lid after a glaze firing.
I highly recommend this kiln as a starter or professional, the size is perfect and it’s very good on the electric being just over 3kw to run.

Top quality amateur kiln

There are a lot of small kilns on the market so choosing is difficult. At the end of the day I wanted a kiln that was robust and reliable. It was evident that a lot of thought has gone into the design and construction of this kiln from the strong chassis which supports the lid to the easy electrical access for element changing. I've done two firings so far with the kiln and the results have been great. The wifi controller upgrade seems expensive tbh but you can store all your firings on the web portal or a usb stick. I strongly recommend this kiln if you want a reliable workhorse..
