What the testers found

America's Test Kitchen rated it Highly Recommended: it needs "virtually zero assembly" and made pizzas that were "spotty and charred on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside in just under two minutes." The flame sits at the back, so you rotate pizzas as they cook, and it takes pies up to 13 inches. ATK didn't test long-term durability, and the listing doesn't state a warranty.

Depends. Toshiba for most people.

Splurge if you cook lots of different grains and want the scale and water tank to measure for you.
