It really does heat up quick. I've melted copper and some aluminum scrap and it gets to temp faster than I expected. The digital controller is pretty accurate and once it hits the set point it holds steady without wild swings.

TOAUTO hasnt disappointed so far, this came with everything needed to start learning how to smelt metal & shape them into your desired form! It feels sturdy enough to add onto its reliability, and navigating its functions especially for a beginner was quite easy.

I am obsessed with this thing! One thing that i love is the paint of very durable, I even spilled aluminum on it and the aluminum chipped right off with 0 damage.

Had another brand of furnace stop operating after about a month of use and went to TOAUTO to look for a new one. I liked that they offered after purchase care and support since a lot of company's don't. Would recommend!

I really liked how this kit came with everything I needed to get started melting aluminum. It came very well packaged. Operating it was as simple as taking it out and plugging it in. It automatically started heating to the set temperature.
