Easy to use and reliable kiln

Loved it from the first moment! It is so easy to use and very intuitive. As a beginner, I also had to play with different firings and it is so easy to amend your program.

First kiln & so far so good

Am fairly new to ceramics & after a lot of thought took the plunge & bought my first kiln - with the help of Hot-clay’s technical team & their videos I went for the British made IKON V46. Delivery was smooth & the driver helpful. It was a case of plug in & follow the instruction book - the controller with pre-set programmes is straightforward and the 3 firings I have done so far gone to plan - it might be a while before I need to attempt setting my own programme! I had some concerns about the cost of firing with current energy prices but have been pleasantly surprised - it’s a very efficient and well insulated kiln. I called the Technical team at Hot-clays with a query on the glaze firing & they were really helpful so am very pleased with the Kiln and service - I would definitely recommend.

First kiln

I’ve had this kiln since may 2022, so easy to use (not scary at all). Great size and with the shelves you can fit loads in. If pieces are taller just use without second shelf. Reliable, clean, sleek, well built (uk built), robust lid and wheels ( that lock). Pre set programs can be adjusted to add soak time. I’m successfully firing earthenware and stoneware (separately) but also capable of firing higher.

Excellent kiln

This kiln is great and fairly easy to use. It’s very economical to run and very well insulated. So minimal heat loss. Still working out the optimal temperature for glaze firing as it holds the heat well and can be fired a little lower than standard. Great advice from Mike on buying options. The delivery driver was fantastic and delivered to my Garage. I have had 5 star service from Hot clay and will continue to purchase my pottery supplies from them.
