Honestly for the cost im quite happy with it. you can use them on the 18.5 or the 22 " weber. I recommend using a stone not the pan that comes with it. Also in order to reach the 650-700 degree temps you need I line the top of mine with foil. Otherwise I have a hard time getting it above 500 degrees. All in all I would recommend it.
I have one I received at Christmas but haven't used it yet. Folks who have one say the crust gets done but not the top of the pizza. Folks say that to make it work correctly you need to add another grill in the top of the pizza oven with something to trap heat, like another pizza stone or fire bricks.
Consequently I've been experimenting with the Weber pizza stone in the household oven. The distance between the pizza and the top of the oven definitely makes a difference in how nicely and quickly the top cooks compared to the crust. My oven in the house only goes up to 550F and I find that a rack 5-6 inches below the top of the oven works best for a great crust and melted, cooked toppings. The heat reflecting off the top of the oven definitely makes a difference compared to the rack setting of 8" below the top of the oven.
I just haven't been to HD to pick up another grill I can modify plus the fire bricks. Maybe this weekend, after I do taxes.

I can get my homemade mini-ZA well above 700°!!! I can say that putting a deflector at the top really helped redirect the heat down.
I use a foil covered 12" terracotta planter tray on the top shelf.
Now that's a good looking ZA!

Looks like you repainted the cooker. Find some better paint? I was going to suggest some automotive header paint.

You want the pizza to cook really fast if you're making a Neapolitan style pie. I've seen brick ovens with a dome temp as high as 1200 degrees.
