March is an exciting month for many reasons. Not only did this calendar month bring the start of Spring, Pi Day, Sleep Awareness week, but it also housed the launch of a handful of exciting new products in the home and garden. From a hidden kitchen sink to a microwave oven fit for a construction site, here are the best launches in the home to put on your radar.
Ooni just launched its first electric pizza oven for indoor use.
The brand behind the market’s most coveted outdoor pizza oven (our personal favorite from hands-on testing, too!) just launched an electric indoor-outdoor model to bring into your kitchen. Ooni’s latest features a large 13-inch cooking surface, precise temperature dials, a cordierite baking stone, and a built-in timer with none of the ashy mess of a wood-burning oven. Plug the Volt oven into an outlet, and this hot appliance goes up a scorching 850 degrees Fahrenheit in just 20 minutes—the temperature you want to get restaurant-quality pies out in 90 seconds flat.
Get the Volt electric pizza oven at Ooni for $999.

Makita launched a high-powered microwave.
News recently broke that popular tool brand Makita plans to launch its own rechargeable microwave oven. This appliance is perfect for reheating lunch at a job site or warming a meal or drink on the go, made portable thanks to Makita’s powerful line of 40V batteries. As first reported on ToolGuyd, on a single charge, the portable microwave will run at 500 watts for 8 minutes before lowering to 350 watts. Altogether, that’s enough power to reheat about 11 cold lunches (fewer if frozen meals) or 20 drinks. Currently, the model is only announced on the Japanese site for Makita Corporation. While there’s no word yet 0n if or when this product will launch in the U.S., it’s not the first portable appliance we’ve seen them offer. For U.S. consumers, they also have a battery-powered cooler/warmer that will chill at temperatures 15 to 50 degrees Fahrenheit or warm its contents at 130 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit.
