Has anyone purchased, and have any reviews that I can hear before I purchase. I'm aware that I will need to purchase a tuscan grill as an accessory.

I'd never heard of it, and am in the market for an outdoor pizza oven, so I went and checked their website. The reviews there were not good, to say it politely - cracked tiles, broken welding and doors sticking due to heat expansion. I'm curio2 stars on average. Oof.
I'm curious what interested you in this particular one? Top priority for me is the size of cooking surface, I'd like to find something that can bake a 16" pie if possible. Precious few of those around, and this one seems to have dimensions that could have supported it. Shame about the owner reviews though.

- If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.
Hmmm. I looked at this on several sites. What concerns me overall is the extremely low number of overall reviews. If you count across their own site, Amazon and Sam's Club, there are less than 40 reviews, and enough of them are negative to be a cause of concern. I see it on the Home Depot website with a whopping 14 reviews, with a score of 3.6 out of 5.
For the cost, even at the cost through Sam's Club, which is $300 less than direct, it's a pricy pizza oven. I would expect more reviews if it were popular, and few to zero negative reviews if it was quality.
The other thing is on Amazon, there are several other almost identical looking units in the same price range. That makes me wonder if this is cranked out by some factory in China, and has different badges slapped on it for folks that want to say that their line of backyard cooking gear includes a high end pizza oven.
I think I would personally be looking at one of the larger Ooni models, and just buy a nice stainless table to sit it on, or a Camp Chef or Blackstone model if you want to go with gas instead of multi-fuel. Personally, I think at high heat, most pizzas cook so fast that they pick up less wood smoke flavor than you would expect.

You might want to look at the BBB site to see if you are comfortable with the response by Thor to complaints.
Thor filters the complaints on their site, so you don't see what the pissed-off people are saying.
Seems like the timeline for getting some repairs done is kind of lengthy. You should also find out if there is anybody in your area to service the unit. If there isn't anybody, then you have to pay for the repair and request reimbursement.
Good luck, let us know how it goes.
