User reviews

User Friendly

I just started knife making and this kiln was recommended by a friend who makes. I haven’t used a kiln in almost 20 years and it was nothing like this. It’s been a dream using this kiln and App. Everything is straightforward and easy to understand and navigate. I cannot recommend this piece of equipment enough. 👌🏻

Thank you for the great review! We’re glad you’re finding it simple and intuitive. If you ever have questions, we’re available to help at info@kilncontrol.com

Worth replacing all controllers!

I have multiple kilns that have different uses. I’m now planning to switch out their controllers for TAP so I can use this app for all.

Great App & Very Useful

I tend to be critical of app design and usability. I bought the kiln that had this controller because it had an app to control. I wasn’t expecting much but it is an obviously well thought out and designed app. I love it and even purchased the subscription bc how well it works. Highly recommend!

Tap ll

Being very new to fusing I love this controller. I have confidence using it. The pre-programmed schedules are great. It’s a place to start a place to learn from. I highly recommend this controller and I can sit on my couch and monitor it from upstairs that’s wonderful.
