I have a friend who is another glass artist who owns a number of kilns, and this one is her go-to kiln for fusing glass pendants and cabochons. It has a number of nice features;
-Its a muffle kiln which are much more durable than firebrick. The interior of a muffle kiln is usually made of ceramic and is all one piece.
-Its digital so it takes a lot of the firing guesswork out
-The shelves just slide right in so there is no need for posts which take up valuable space
-It comes with an extra heating element which is nice. Those are always bound to go out at some point, especially if you are firing around the max temperature often, and in brick kilns they are much more tedious to replace.
-Finally, for a digital kiln there is no beating that price.
Their customer service is very helpful and friendly. My kiln died a few nights ago and so I panicked (I had pendant orders to fulfill for customers) and hopped online and ordered this one. The next day my friend was able to get my kiln working again and this seller had no problem cancelling my order. As I start getting busier down the road I am definitely going to purchase this kiln, but the larger version that they have directly on their website.
