How to read a Showdown Score™
The only score that counts how often a product breaks, not just how owners feel about it.
- Three parts add up to the score: what owners rate it, how often it fails them, and whether a credentialed tester backed it.
- Bands: Exceptional 8.5 and up, Excellent 7.5, Very good 6.5, Good 5.5, Fair 4, Poor below 4. Every score is dated.
- Price, the warranty and what a link pays us stay out of it.

We quote the maker rather than deciding your case — read the document before you buy if the warranty is why you are buying.
Record
- — Audit read: 4.7 stars across 1,905, unchanged; $399.00 on Amazon, sold by Gozney (Gozney US lists it at $399.99, compare-at $499.99). The Gozney-hosted 4.8 no longer blends into the card figure.
- — Warranty read verbatim: one year standard, five if registered within 60 days, with the stone floor and silicone at two years and the peel at one. Three different terms inside one product.
- — Critical pass: a steep learning curve and coarse flame control, with several owners unable to hold a temperature. No natural-gas option, and heavy propane use. Five of the first ten critical cards.
- — Independent rating made primary: 4.7 across 1,905 on Amazon, replacing the Gozney page's 4.8 across 2,420 as the headline. The brand figure stays labelled beneath it.
- — The Serious Eats accolade had been taken from Gozney's own republish of it. Checked against the original review: the quote, the wording of the award and the URL were all wrong in our version. A brand's summary of a verdict is not the verdict.
