    I highly recommend the vcella. I  have had mine for 30 years, and 
    bought it used. Have never had a problem with it.  What I like
    especially is that it maintains an even heat with  virtually no  heat
    loss when the door is opened. Also it is so well insulated that even
    after hours of being heated to about 1500 degrees, the outside is
    relatively cool.   

    The construction is excellent, and the door is still in perfect
    alignment, which is more than I can say for other kilns.  I taught
    enameling at our local  art center, and our biggest problem was with
    the  sagging  doors of  other brands of  kilns. I had to use the
    buddy system with the students---one would open and hold the door  to
    keep it from sagging, while the other inserted or withdrew the
    enamel.  The  vcella kilns are expensive, but certainly worth the
    money.
