It's a very good question. This oven will get the temperature (both the bottom stone and top can be controlled separately and precisely) to a much higher temperature than your kitchen stove's oven (which probably maxes out around 500-550F. That is useful for certain types of pizzas, such as Neapolitan-style pizzas needing such high temperatures (650-800F).
The smaller size of this oven also means it takes less time and electricity to pre-heat, though it will still take about 20 minutes. If you use a pizza stone or baking steel in your conventional oven, it can take half an hour or longer to get the stone or steel pre-heated in order to cook the pizza crust just right. The small pizza ovens have the heating element right under the stone so it heats faster.
At $80, this is at a price point where it may be practical to get if you plan to make or re-heat pizzas often, more so than spending $200-$900 on similar electric pizza ovens, where you may be better off just buying a pizza stone/steel for $20-$30 and using in your regular oven if you just make an occasional pizza. If you make pizzas bigger than 12", you need to do that in your regular oven.
EDIT: Some of the comments from those using this or similar ovens who are experimenting making different pizzas, is that you really have to experiment and adjust the temperatures of the bottom stone and top heating element to get the right combination for the style of pizza you are making, and this is easier to do with a small oven where you can set separate temps for each.
Also, when we 1st opened it, my wife dropped the pizza stone while unboxing it and it cracked. We reached out to Gourmia and they sent us a new stone free of charge. So really happy with the customer service

If you know art of making good pizza this will be useful and you can get ooni level of results ... but if you suck already don't expect this will solve the problem.
I knew I suck or don't make pizza that often so I saved money by experiment on this one instead of 10x price on ooni.
Mine is Target version and it get used as Air Fryer but footprint is big for this as compare to other Air Fryers.
An air fryer I had from Gourmia failed a few weeks short of a year -- no heat from the heating element. I had the receipt, contacted them, and was sent a new one after I sent them a picture of the bad one with its cord cut. I imagine there is no additional warranty on the new one.
I think any prolonged cooking with food that can splatter may leave residue that can smoke when you are cooking other items. That's maybe not so much a problem if you pre-heat this Gourmia outside, though.
I bought a cheap $10 peel at Amazon and it works ok-pizzas still tend to stick to it. Then I got a "sliding peel" from amazon-game changer. No more sticking. I was so impressed by this bad boy I bought one for my daughter and one for my cousin. They both love theirs. I added the Allstate warranty to all three just in case.

There are about 11% 1-star reviews (78% 5-star), some mentioning electronic panel/control problems, but that may not be significantly more than any other electric pizza oven, and you can ignore the ones that give 1-star reviews because the oven "burned the pizza" or the pizza got stuck, or some other reason not really related to the operation of the oven.
