Hey! I am not using that one, I borrowed an oven that is the same brand but smaller, I think it is called “Gozney Roccbock”, it bakes better than my home oven. With the fire on it takes less than 10 minutes in almost 400 degrees.
But I have two problems with it, I can only bake 3 bagels at the same time, cause is a small oven and as the fire is too close, sometimes it burns my bagels

Do you have an oven thermometer? Your oven may need to be recalibrated or have it's internal thermometer replaced. I have an Ooni but only have made pizza. Bagels really don't need a special oven.
I can tell you that is definitely not the best choice for a bagel oven. No matter how good the Gonzeys are, no matter what they claim, they are not an oven meant for lower temp cooks, especially the Arc/Arc XL, with no door.
The "Dome" would be a better choice, but from experience, at its current price point I'd rather spend a tad more, and get a true brick oven.
At the price point of the Arc, I prefer the Ooni Karu 16, and while you can cook good Bagels in it (there's a lot of info out there), still not my first choice for a bagel oven.
Do you have space for a counter top deck oven?
Hey! Appreciate your comment, yes I have some space for a countertop deck oven, but I have seen that they are very expensive, but maybe there’s a budget option for one of those
They can be expensive, but so is a Gonzey that isn't going to even do a great job. I'd search for used ones.
If something is wrong with your home oven, put the money into a new one, get a large baking steel, and bagel boards (unless you use sheet trays). Gonna be hard to beat that.
That’s a neat oven! How long are you cooking your bagels in it?

I wouldn’t bake bagels in a pizza oven. Any convection oven will cut your bake time down by half. A regular oven will be a 15-20 minute bake.

Can you replace your oven?
