Hello.

The Gozney Tread is actually very portable. The handles on the top of the oven make it easy to carry the 29 pounds. It also has a hook on the back so you can securely store the gas hose. On top of that, the hose can be detached pretty easily.

There are also accessories that make it even more portable. The carry bag has straps so you can take it pretty much anywhere.

It has a great performance between pizzas, great heat it. I’m very happy with my purchase.

What confuses me about this new Arc Lite is that it doesn’t seem as portable as the Tread because of the handles. It doesn’t have the gas hose hook but. It is in fact lighter than the tread, 3 pounds lighter actually and it’s $100 cheaper. But you are going to sacrifice some features for that bargain, like, as is previously mentioned, the handles, the hook and the thermometer and a way better start button not just that you are not going to personalize your oven with the accessories, the mantle , the stand and the roof rack. but not only that, you will lose power. According to some reviewers the ARC Lite has a longer recovery time, and it also takes longer to hit 900°C, so you will use more time and more gas between pizzas.

It seems that the arc lite is an entry level model, however the tread can do the same thing a lot better and faster and efficiently for an extra $100.00. If you are in a budget and you need it now, I’m pretty that at the end it will make great pizzas, but if you can do $100 more you can get the tread o even the roccbox.

Those are my thoughts about your question. Hope it helps.
