However, as far as sales go, the brand offers discounts on some of its best finds, including the Karu 16 1st Generation Outdoor Oven with £209.70 off and the Ooni Volt 12 Ultimate Bundle with £283.20 off.

It features dual switch safety handles, a magnetic fruit dome, and dishwasher-safe components.

In my opinion, it's a great addition to a home bar.
