Buying a kiln gift and am clueless. Plz help

Hi, I'm hoping someone can point me towards a kiln for use in jewelry making that is reasonably priced but still reliable. My adult daughter wants to start playing around with lost wax casting and will probably use it for silver clay too. I'm hoping for something that can handle copper, silver, gold, and aluminum. Is that realistic? I know she would need other pieces of equipment for a full set up (I've seen people taking about vacuum chambers), but as far as a kiln goes, what are the brands to look for? Models? I saw that there are melting furnaces too, but I read you can't do the burn out in those but that you can do burn out as well as melting in crucibles in a kiln. Do I understand that correctly? Thank you.
