Why You’ll Love It
This kiln offers a rare combination of high performance and plug-in convenience. The GXR model brings large capacity and high firing temperatures without needing complex electrical wiring. Quality materials and engineering ensure long life and reliability, while the intuitive controller and optional WiFi connectivity give you full control and flexibility. Ideal whether you’re producing multiple pots, running a teaching studio, or serious about ceramics at home.
Installation Note
Ensure adequate space for the kiln’s footprint and weight. Although it plugs into a standard socket, the 3 kW demand means you should check that your circuit is in good condition and socket ratings are appropriate. Room ventilation is advised for top-loading kilns, and castors allow for repositioning when needed.
