What the testers found

America's Test Kitchen rated it Highly Recommended, like the Arc: it needs "virtually zero assembly" and made pizzas "spotty and charred on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside in just under two minutes." It takes pies up to 13 inches (the Arc takes 14), and you rotate them as they cook. Tom's Guide rated it higher than the Arc. ATK didn't test long-term durability, and the listing doesn't state a warranty.
