What owners single out
Buyers' weakest aspect—fuel efficiency and pellet management—directly overlaps with critics' note that the oven "needs a lot of pellets to preheat and cook."
In their words
“I bought this for my husband for Christmas and we are OBSESSED!! I can't believe how easy it is to use and how fast it cooks pizzas, calzones, etc... heats up really fast and after a few trials and tribulations of some burnt pizzas, we now have it down and are ready to host a pizza making party! If you want authentic wood fired pizza, get the Ooni Fyra!!”

“Just does not work like it should. Many flaws as it sits. Takes forever to get up to temp. Your temp is not stable at all. Seconds to cook a pizza in this thing is a flat out lie unless you're charring it to death. Have to constantly babysit the pellets. Burns unnecessary pellets when you're done. Cleaning pellets, dust, soot and ash from inside is just a nightmare.”
