How this oven bakes

Firebrick is slow to charge and slow to give it back. Do not chase a five-minute preheat.
Give the deck the full 35 min. Air temperature lies. The stone is slower.
If the base burns before the topping is ready, check the cooking surface with an infrared thermometer and let it cool before the next pizza. There is no separate bottom-heat control.

Pros

80x60 cm floor. Four 12-inch pies is the listed job, and the 61 cm mouth is the same as Moderno 3.
18.5 kW, same burner class as Moderno 5 and Futuro 4. The extra kW is for the extra brick.
Hybrid Kit. Sequential wood on a gas body.
Traditional shell if the outdoor kitchen is not a Futuro stainless arch.

Cons

118 kg. Installation, not a move. Wheeled base extra.
Gas-or-kit only on the current site. No wood-only SKU on the compare table.
Thin independent review corpus. Do not trust 30 min / 90 s until you time your own stone.
Needs a long peel. A 60 cm home peel will not turn a pie at the back of a 60 cm-deep deck.

How the calculator uses this oven

Temperature and bake time. It reaches 500°C. At the default hydration, the calculator bakes Traditional Napoletana (60%) at 455°C on the deck for about 85 seconds, and Pizza Classica (65%) at 278°C on the deck for about 6 minutes.
Baking surface. The calculator assumes the stock cordierite stone. Swap in a biscotto and Traditional Napoletana takes about 90 seconds instead of 85 seconds.
Hydration for this oven. It reaches the heat Traditional Napoletana wants, so the calculator keeps the style's 58–65% hydration.
Baker corrections. Bake times learn from bakers' reports on this oven. A correction starts once at least 5 successful bakes from 3 different bakers share the same style and surface.

Formulas this oven bakes
