At the risk of sounding like an old man; when I was younger this would have cost 5x as much, would have been ordered out of a catalog over the dial phone, and would have taken 6-8 weeks to show up.

If you want real bargain then look for microfoundary. I have crucible that can take not more than 200g of brass but it melts it in 7 minutes, in microwave, and I mean 7 minutes from beginning to end, no preheat no nothing, put crucible in microwave and after 7-9 minutes take out melted metal. I did belt buckle and it works great. The only issue is the temperature control as there isn't such thing. So I used temperature probe kit that goes till 1200 degrees Celsius. You just need to experiment few times to understand how long it takes to specific temperature. On top of that the crucible holds heat for long time, so you have like 20-30 seconds to pour the metal. I bought 3 crucibles and with delivery it was around 80£. Also this method can be very cheap as you ain't using electricity for long time 800w for 7-8 minutes. On youtube you can find their channel Компания Микроинструмент if you type "melting in microwave". Just don't use microwave after that for food. And I am not associated with them, but bought the kit from them a while ago.

I gave up with the electric Furnace last year as I found the electric bill were getting higher and higher, yes I had the SY electric furnace for well over 2 years and even though it said made in Italy the instructions were all in Chinese! So know I have settled with the Devil Forge and I is not looking back. Also with the devil forge (I have the 4 Kilo) you can also put a 1 kilo crucible inside or bigger depending on the DF model you have. But as always you have done a fair review, they are great for the beginner to practice with but as I said it is a little expensive to run! Keep up the good work and I will see you in the next one 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I too have the "S.Y., Italy" and have been using it for a few years. Great Value for money but you need to be aware of the limitations. It is great for sub 1000c melts but copper & copper alloys get tougher on the little unit. It can not melt cupronickel for example and copper / brass etc is right at it's limit. You also need to keep an eye on those cheap replaceable crucibles as I've had one drop it's load into the body of the furnace when the bottom fell out. Given the long cylindrical shape of the crucible it is also harder to scrape the dross off (especially for less than a full charge). I do find I get better results from my (small) pours from this furnace than my Devil Forge as you can hold the load at the temperate you want. Overall, a great little furnace but I wish it had another 100c at the top end.

Being a device that draws a lot of power, I'd like to know that the proper electrical connections were made in the electronics. Maybe you could do a video where you open it up to see? I'd love to see it. Improper terminations and other issues can be made in the race to the bottom of the market segment. I'd likely buy from Amazon in case the quality is suspect, as returns would be far easier.

Perhaps you can answer a question. I have an electric furnace, bought it years ago now, used it a few times with mixed results melting copper. In all other smelting operations I've seen there is the top hole for expelling gas, but this one I have has this foamlike membrane. Have you encountered this? Does this need to be punched out and was just some manufacturing oversight? Or is this some kind of indicator of material specific melting? Also some time ago now, I remember swapping out the internal ceramic with the heating coil hoping to find a break in the heating element being a cause for faulty melt. It was fine, and a huge pain to reassemble. I noticed a layer of something coating my thermocouple rod. Is this typical? I wasn't sure if the rod had annexed some graphite from usage, I bought it used. I didn't know if this should be removed as a hindrance to the temperature read or if this was a normal thermal paste of sorts to prevent oxidization. Any insight would help me out, thank you.

So you may only get two fires a day. Also I’ve read that electric furnace is a go through crucibles pretty quickly due to oxidation since nothing is there to burn away the oxygen why can I guess system. People say they get no more than 2 to 3 fires with a crucible. What is your experience with these limitations?

Hello.. I am in the process of buying a new electric furnace for scrap electronic gold smelting/melting and your review is an eye-opener and helps in decision-making. I do appreciate the emphasis you put on crucible size given that in gold refining there is barely any need for 1 plus kg crucible. From what I have heard, refiners using 2-3 kg crucibles are having hell of a time melting small amounts of gold. Just one thing VOG gold powder (gold dust or mudd) does NOT behave like metal gold and needs pretty higher temperatures (well above 1063°C) and this is a common issue in powder technology. Thank you Sir for your honest review.

Great review. I purchased one off eBay ( no label ), On the 15th April 21 and I have melted and cast gold, silver, brass, copper and a load of eco-solder with out any problems except cleaning the crucible between melts. Mine is the 3kg model and the hinge is just as crappy. Mine was £185. Be aware that the electric element will eventually wear out and the crucible will slowly burn away but element wire to make your own elements is cheap and available and the crucible are easy to replace. Let the crucible cool slowly in the furnace to prevent cold shock. Many thanks.

Great vid as always man. For the bronze shot you could use a stainless steel kitchen tablespoon or something similar! Cheers!

To add to the crowd, I have virtually the same one as your original one (and the one reviewed) and it is a good little workhorse. My only complaint is that it takes alot longer than a gas fired furnace. That said, it is quieter, smaller, easier to store and neater than my gas fired beasty. It teaches me patience while its melting my metals..

The handle problem seems easy to fix, just have to use the furnace to create your own handles.

You surprise me buddy. All that massive potential for solar power? I would have expected the Aussies to be at the forefront of that.
