Love it

Have now done a bisque and a glaze firing and the kiln is great. The extra insulation keeps the energy costs down which is perfect at the moment!

Excellent Kiln

The Rhode Ecotop 45 is excellent, chosen to fit my small space.
Size to run glaze tests and fire smaller items.
I purchased it with extra shelves as I already had props.

Mike the technical advisor was very knowledgeable and was always willing to help when asked.

Amazing Product and Service

This kiln is perfect for me to get to grips with firing my own work. It's a decent size inside and easy to move about. The free kit that arrived with it was a very nice touch. I compared the same kiln extensively online and with the controller provided, free delivery, starter kit, and support offered, Hotclay came out on top for price. The service I have received has been amazing, thanks to Mike for all his help.

Great Kiln!

This is a perfect size kiln for my current needs as a potter just starting out. It is my first kiln, and I was told to go slightly bigger if possible than what I would have usually gone for accounting for the number of pieces I currently produce - this was so I don't grow out of the kiln too quickly when the pace of work increases. It has been so reliable, I have it for a year now and no issues at all. Very fast delivery from Hot Clay too as it always is! I bought an extra shelf, and will buy more shelves to cut in half so I can utilize the space with different shaped pieces. I had researched a bit before settling on this, and would definitely recommend this kiln!
