chedden Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 I am looking to purchase a small elec. kiln for my home studio. I thought I would purchase a Skutt 818 and just ran across an Excel Ex-226 for a considerable amount less. Does anyone have an Excel and how is that working for you? Also wondering if guality is same? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted May 9, 2012 Report Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yup. They're identical to the Skutts except the control box is a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtRoads Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 I've found kilns and pottery equipment are exactly like all other products: You get what you pay for. Cheaper is "cheaper". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilestrick Posted May 10, 2012 Report Share Posted May 10, 2012 The main difference between kilns is their durability and ease of maintenance. Most any kiln will get to the temperature it says it will, although some do it a little faster than others. If you would like specific recommendations, feel free to email me directly.
