O.K... we're biased, we have used the Olympic Square 186GFE, and it's really great. It's big enough to slump a couple of wine bottles but ready to fire platters, candle bridges, big bowls and more. We cast in ours, we also did screen melts too. The shelf is 16" square so it fits nine 4" square plates at once.
The Olympic Square 186GFE requires a dedicated circuit, but still works on 120 volts. A toggle switch on the controller allows you to use your lid element or your side elements only, or you can switch on the fly from fusing with the lid coil to annealing with the side coils. We highly recommend this kiln. It's strong, does a great job, and it's extremely flexible. If viewing window or bead/punty door is added, the max firing temperature changes to only 1600°F.

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'm fairly new to glass fusing but I'm loving my new kiln.
