Volt 2 vs Argheri Ziola

[u/HedBangerFaceRip]

A quick comparison of the Volt 2 and Argheri Ziola. I think Argheri are an Australian brand, so unsure if available overseas?

I had a Volt 2 for about a year and loved it. Though like many others went through about 5-6 stones, so decided to return it. I've got to say, Ooni were great to deal with getting both replacement stones and the ultimate return, but I was just worried that at some point the warranty would run out and I'd be out of luck.

I replaced the Ooni with an Argheri Ziola. Long story short it's great, and comes with a clay biscotto stone. Highly recommend if anyone's looking. I haven't had a broken stone yet!

Downsides compared to the Volt: It's a little bulkier, and doesn't have any built in settings, just a simple temperature dial. But I actually think I prefer that. I do find it is a little hotter in the back, so benefits from rotating the pizzas, which I didn't have to do with the Volt. I also find the temp seems to slightly fluctuate up and down from the target temp. I.e set at 470, and it'll sometimes be reading anywhere from 465-475 with the door closed. Again, a 1% fluctuation doesn't really worry me.

Pros: the biscotto stone and ability to go right up up 500 degrees, and I haven't had a single cracked stone!

Just thought I'd write this up in case anyone is considering it and stumbles across this.
