Using this for clay pottery, it gets unbelievably hot and works well. You need to do lots of test tiles but it's great.

Too small even though it’s called “large.”

Seems to gave everything you need to start creating. However there was no instructions in the box for the kiln. If you are new like I am, there needs to be some how to use instructions. Great value.

I love the value for starting fused glass jewelry. My husband has enjoyed trying things too. Be sure you treat the base of the kiln with the recommended kiln wash. The kiln does a variety of projects because of its larger size. Keep a log of fusing times and layers of glass.I would definitely recommend this starter set.

Was able to fire with successful results less than 50% of the time. Same microwave, same glass manufacturer... half the firings work well, other times glass will crack or explode apart in first minute, and even when survives full firing, portions of glass turns to ash half of the time. Will never buy one again.

The kiln is large and works great. This was my first time trying a microwave Kiln and it is lots of fun. I purchased a 1200W microwave to use for glass fusing only and I made a few pendants in 8-11 minutes. The gloves and glass cutter are very handy. I just didn’t like the glass sample (but they were good to practice glass cutting) assortment and went to my local glass store to purchase higher quality glass. You will be very happy with this kit. The photos are pendants I made the first day so I am still perfecting designs.

Background: I am an artist, and I wanted to try out glass fusing to see if it was a medium that I would enjoy. I did quite a bit of research about fusing glass in microwave kilns and traditional glass kilns, before deciding to purchase this one. For anybody who would like to learn what to expect ahead of time, there are a ton of tutorial videos and instructional websites/forums aimed at the layperson that are really helpful.Since this kiln was half the price of the brand name kiln kits, and the negative reviews only related to the instructions, I was happy to seek out more comprehensive instructions on the internet. Fuseworks, Paragon, Hotbox, and other name brands of these microwave kilns post their instruction manuals online, and their instructions are more comprehensive than the simple instruction sheet that came with this kit, which is adequate, but basic. The included instructions did say to use kiln wash, which I did, because I'm big on keeping my supplies in good working order. However, many of the other brands' instructions omit this step. (Several tutorials recommend it, though.) The included "kiln paper" was more like kiln fiber, so I ordered some Thinfire paper, and some clear COE 90 glass to use as overlay with the glass in the kit. I also used some 1/2" kiln posts between the microwave tray and the kiln, because I read about someone accidentally fusing their glass microwave tray to the kiln base in a project-gone-wrong.My first fuse was a great success, even though it was a simple practice project. I picked out all of the green and blue shards of confetti glass, crushed them into frit, lumped them into a tight pile, and fused them into a marbled freeform pendant blank, which I can now decorate with glass pieces and try to achieve a tack or contour fuse. For the full fuse that created my blank, it took me 15 minutes in a 600w microwave, though I did over-fuse it just a bit. (low and slow minimizes bubbles, so feel free to ignore the advice to use at least an 800-1000 watt microwave. My old 600 watt did just fine with some extra time.)Overall, I would definitely recommend this set as an introduction to glass fusing for those who think they might enjoy it. Yes, additional investment is recommended, (running pliers, kiln wash, thin kiln paper, more glass,) but if you know that going into it, and take into account that other places are selling this set for twice as much, you can get everything you need for the same price as buying this kit through the name brand distributors.
