Look neat. The size is a tad small compared to a regular oven but since it
can do two at a time, it would be fine for smaller pizza. Great if you have
some friends over for DIY pizza.

We have more appliances than counter space so I'll pass on it.

I have the counter space, so that's not a problem. However, several in rfc
have raised other issues that I think I better consider: thermal mass, heat
loss, recovery, hot exterior, etc.

If you buy it through Amazon (fulfilled by Brookstone), it looks
like it'll only cost you about $200 shipped...

You know Wayne, I'd search out more specifications about this unit before
taking a plunge, like: How many heating elements are there and where are
they? Are they exposed? The comments about heat loss when you open, and
thermal mass are very important. I can't believe this can't be much more
than a glorified two tier toaster oven. As well, a stone only 12" in
diameter is going to result in a very small pizza. It sure would be assuring
to hear some real reviews about this item.

That's a good question. After all the questions raised about this unit, I
doubt I'll be buying it.

Did you really expect mere proof to
sway my opinion? HA!

The stones will provide thermal mass. A regular oven has little thermal
mass anyway. You need bricks or heavy steel, 1/4" or more to provide real
mass. Recovery will depend on the elements. Give the size, I doubt it
would be much less than a regular electric oven.
I'd like to see it up close for that kind of money though, or actual
experience from a user, not speculation.
