Default Test Kilns

Does anyone here use an inexpensive test kiln for testing glazes and if so
is there one you would recommend?

A couple of years ago I bought a small "AIM" electric kiln for that
very purpose. It was about one or two cubic feet at most and only used
110 volts. It reached cone 10 in about 60-90 minutes if you left it on
high. I mostly used it for test tiles but it was handy to have for an
occasional small piece that I needed fast, without waiting for enough
ware to fill my other kiln. I had never heard of an "AIM" kiln before
but took a chance and was satisfied. It cost about $300 at that time.
(By the way, it's on loan to friend now about 800 miles away, which is
why I can only guesstimate its dimensions.)
