So far so good, be aware it draws just over 15 amps when running so a 20amp circuit is a must. Surprised it doesn't come with a 20amp plug. The power cord is right at 4 feet long and does seem to be 14awg as it states but I swapped it for a different one I had from a server rack that was a bit longer and I know is good quality. I've melted a little over 10# of copper with it so far, two different days / batches. I did notice on the second run a bright flash Everytime the contactor drops out when it gets to temperature so I'll post an update if it fails on me (contactors normally rc a bit opening under load and for the price I didn't expect solid state controls) solid state relays are cheap and I may just upgrade it before I need to, but for now I'll just keep melting stuff. 1150c is the highest temp you can set it to, but that should be plenty for the metals it lists, I been pouring copper bars at 1100 and it does it decently fast, while pulling nearly 2kw of power.

Lets Start with the Poor As commonly mentioned the stickers are not meant to be left on, and the company name plate comes off easily as it is clearly meant to be rebadged by many sellers. The paint on the lid is appearing to show heat stress and flaking after the first two uses. The gloves are far thicker and heat resistant than anything I owned before, but not designed to protect you from much more than a brush with the hot crucible or the ingot cast block. It feels a little slow for copper as the max temp for copper is right about the top temp of this furnace but aluminum feels far faster. The Good It did have everything I needed to get started. The gloves did protect me from accidental contact with the crucible when poking at the slowly melting copper pieces. I mean the gambling on cheap Chinese products I guess its worth pointing out that it works at all. The temperature is slow to respond, but I thought the temp control was consistent. I do have some questions about heat distribution as my first pour left some copper parts in the crucible that I had to put back in and finish melting. That could simply be impatience or the material closer to the top didn't get the same heating level. Despite some paint discoloration after the first firing I see no indication that this won't be able to carry on for quite some time. I appreciated the attempt to make a pour spout in the crucible, but I still managed to spill when pouring so be careful. Now that I know this is possible I look forward to trying to cast some objects and possibly try to fill 3D prints.

Had another brand of furnace stop operating after about a month of use and went to TOAUTO to look for a new one. I liked that they offered after purchase care and support since a lot of company's don't. Furnace arrived and came withsome nice extras like a crucible and tongs, a graphite bar mould. Heating takes about 20-30 minutes in the very top end of of the furnaces range. Would recommend!

Within the first second of looking at this product I knew I was in for a good experiment, I like to surf the industry products and buy things that have a decent price + decent description in order to try new products and experiment with industry standards; This product definitely covered those basis. I expected to get some decent use out of the product, but it seems to have blown an internal part, I use an extension cord rated far above what this demands, connected to a dedicated outlet drawing from it's own circuit. As soon as the device heated to 850c a bright spark followed by some audible electrical discharge turned the machine off, and of course it hasn't turned on since then. I expected this to not meet any expected standards but this low bar is almost impressive. The accessories that came with it follow the same quality trend as the kiln, the tongs/claspers if you will, left an oily residue all over my palm that smelled like liquid rubber and gave me a headache within 1 minute of holding them, I had to use my respirator the whole time using anything from this product, on top of the residue the rubber grips on the tang of the tongs completely slipped off with no effort, it was like peeling the skin off a zombies decaying face, just slipped right off. I was curious about the graphite quality and I'm not surprised to say it's clearly poor quality, the outside is polished to deceive you, the crucible will only last a handful of good uses before it needs replacing, on top of the fact it causes immense amount of slag production. The gloves' quality was comparatively identical to the tongs quality. I made a fist and punched a plywood board of basil wood to wear them in, as I do with all my *real* leather products, with these the faux fabric on the knuckles tore immediately. If you're serious about getting into the hobby then invest the proper funds, I've been doing this for 8 years roughly on and off, i can say with certainty it's not worth buying cheap products that might suffice, ultimately you'll be spending more doing that rather than investing in the proper industry standard equipment. Everyone's got their own experiences with this product, this is mine; Do with it what you will.
