Two names for one kiln?
Initially, the Olympic Doll E kiln was a primary kiln purchase for artists making ceramic dolls and later became a hot ticket item for labs, universities testing glaze, tiles, etc. because of the oval design. Olympic kept both names for the model so that customers who purchase the model for either reason would recognize it if they needed future purchases or parts.

Why Upgrade from Mechanical Relays to Solid-State Relays?
Mechanical Relays, which come standard on most kilns have internal moving parts which over time wear out and need to be replaced. Kiln manufacturers recommend you replace your mechanical relays approximately every 2 years. Solid-state relays have no moving parts and last far longer than standard mechanical relays and offer far better temperature control during hold times. Since solid-state relays also have no moving parts to wear out, they NEVER need to be replaced. You will notice that solid-state relays are silent. The only sound you will hear is just the reassuring hum of the heating elements. So, this factory upgrade saves you potential down time from having to wait for new relays to arrive, potential over-fires from relays sticking in the closed position, potential aggravation from having to learn how to remove and replace the mechanical relays yourself. We think this upgrade is well worth the cost and will save you time and aggravation over the life of your kiln.

I have run this kiln about 7 or 8 times now, mostly single firing wild clay to Cone 1, a couple of bisques to 06, and a firing with ash glaze to cone 10. This is my first kiln so I don't have anything to compare it to, experience-wise, but my pieces are coming out great and the operation is nice and easy. Cycles are finishing in the amount of time they're supposed to.
The kiln is small but works for my needs: teaware, bowls, cups, small vases (6-10" tall), etc. If you are considering this kiln, I recommend doing what I did and tracing out the inner dimensions on a flat surface and placing some of your pieces on the oval to get a better idea of what fits. For my purposes, an oval shape is better because I can fit 2 pieces side by side, a circular kiln would allow for larger diameters but fewer round pieces next to each other.
I'm in an apartment so finding a kiln that runs on 120v 15a was key. It's plugged into a normal outlet and it's working great.

The kiln is a magnificent test kiln. My only complaint is that it took forever to get it shipped from Olympic. Of course, no fault of Kiln Frog and was informed of delay prior to original purchase. It's just too bad that none of the ready to ship kilns have the touchscreen controllers.
