Best Amazon Prime Day Deals on Kitchen Products

The Instant Vortex Plus 140-3079-01 is a standout for the legibility of its digital controls, relatively low noise levels, and ease of cleaning. It has pre-programmed settings, you can customize programs, and there’s a reminder for when it’s time to shake up your food for even heating. Plus, there’s a one-year warranty.

The Cosori Dual Blaze is a bit expensive, even when it’s on sale, but we think it’s still worth highlighting, given its large measured capacity (4.7 quarts), smartphone integration, and all-around strong performance in all the areas we test. The monolithic exterior might not be to everyone’s taste, but with few nooks and crannies in its design, this machine is easy to clean. It also comes with a two-year warranty, a year longer than many air fryer warranties.

The Cosori Lite CAF-LI211 is a good choice if you’re new to air-frying and want to start with the basics. It has pre-programmed settings, making it easy to use, plus it’s easy to clean—having dishwasher-safe parts helps. It also performs excellently in our noise tests. We measured this model’s capacity at 1.7 quarts. It’s been priced even lower in the last three months, but if you need a good air fryer, and soon, this deal is still a good one.

We don’t frequently see deals on this high-end blender model, so the sale price on the Breville Super Q BBL920BSS1BUS1 is good if cost is what held you back from buying one, perhaps to match other Breville appliances in your kitchen. In our labs, this model aced our durability and purée tests and received an excellent score for convenience, meaning it’s easy to clean, has clear controls, isn’t too heavy, and its jar has clear markings and is easy to pour from. Like most blenders we test, it earns a middling score for noise, but there are other models that are noisier.

A smaller blender like the NutriBullet NBF50500 Personal is perfect for a smoothie for one. It receives an excellent score in CR’s tests for icy drinks and smoothies, and it comes with two to-go cups with lids. It also earned top scores in our purée and durability tests. It did turn out to be fairly noisy in our tests, but since blenders are used in such short bursts, it may be tolerable. This model’s pitcher and cups are dishwasher-safe.

The top-rated Vitamix Ascent X2 may look unassuming with its dial and toggle controls, considering its excellent overall performance in our blender lab. It aces our purée and durability tests, performs admirably in our icy drink and ice crush tests, and is convenient to use, according to our testers. Plus, Vitamix as a blender brand receives excellent scores for owner satisfaction and predicted reliability. This kind of deal is not unheard of for this model on Amazon, however. Its price has dipped this low or even lower a few times this past year.

The Vitamix Ascent X4 exceeds the performance of the less-pricey Ascent X2 in our tests for icy drinks, earning an excellent score. Blenders that do well for icy drinks also do well for smoothies. However, this model performed less well in our ice-crush tests. We’ve seen the Ascent X4 dip to this price before, and even cheaper leading up to the winter holidays. That said, if you’ve been pining for a fancy Vitamix and can’t stand to wait until after smoothie season is over, this is still a good deal.

The 7-speed KitchenAid Architect KHM7210 showed very good performance across the board in CR’s tests, not just with simple jobs like whipping cream, but also with tougher assignments like mixing chocolate chip cookie dough. Our testers found it simple to insert and remove the beaters (though the left and right ones aren’t interchangeable), and they found it generally easy use and clean.

The KitchenAid KHM6118CU 6-Speed shows nearly the same performance in our tests as the more expensive 7-speed KitchenAid Architect KHM7210, plus it has a flexible rubber-like sleeve on the bottom of each beater to help scrape up ingredients more easily and make quicker work of mixing. We’ve seen lower prices on this model before, but this is still quite a deal for a KitchenAid, and it’s a highly giftable item, to boot.

This is a stellar Prime price on a great stand mixer, one that we haven’t seen before. While the Instant Pro 140-1560-01 does not come from an iconic brand, it mixes it up with the best of them in our tests. It earns top marks for kneading bread dough, and its ability to whip heavy cream and mix large batches of cookie dough is above average. And we aren’t disturbed by the noise as it hums along. This tilt-head mixer has a 7-quart bowl and can handle enough dough for two loaves of bread.

The KitchenAid Bowl Lift KSM70 is an attractive (though hefty) 27-pound bowl-lift style stand mixer, meaning that instead of the top of the machine tilting down into the bowl, the bowl itself lifts up to meet the beaters. This can make it easier to fit the machine under your upper kitchen cabinets. Bread bakers will be happy that it receives a top score for kneading and can accommodate two loaves’ worth of dough. It also receives very good scores in our whipping and mixing tests. We’ve seen better deals on this pricey but highly capable model in the recent past, but this is still a great one. 

If you’re looking for a toaster oven that can handle multiple tasks, the Ninja Foodi XL Pro DT201—which can air fry, convection bake, broil, and dehydrate in addition to toasting and baking—may be worth considering. Our testers rated it excellent for ease of use, meaning it has intuitive controls and there aren’t too many steps to set the temperature and cook time you want. It can turn out a single slice of toast almost as well as a full batch, plus it’s easy to clean up afterward. Ninja receives excellent scores for predicted reliability and owner satisfaction in CR’s member surveys.

The Samsung ME11A7710DS is a low-profile over-the-range microwave, so it’ll take up less space overhead. And it shows excellent performance in a measure where many other OTR models fall short: our venting tests, which measure the volume of air drawn in by a microwave’s internal fan on the highest setting. This Samsung also shows impressive performance in our tests for heating and defrosting evenness, heating speed, ease of use, and noise. It comes with WiFi connectivity and voice controls using Alexa, Samsung’s Bixby, or Google Assistant. Just bear in mind that we measured its usable capacity at just 0.7 cubic feet—so it may not fit taller items.

This 8-quart Instant Pot is one of the largest pressure cookers we’ve tested. It’s also one of the best performers in our lab tests. The 1,500-watt cooker boasts excellent ratings for both pressure-cooking and slow-cooking, and it does a very good job at sautéing. It’s loaded with features, such as an air-frying mode (using a two-tier air-fry basket), a dehydrating function, a stainless steel inner pot, and a storage cover.

Sometimes you feel like a shot, sometimes you don’t. The DeLonghi All-in-One (COM532M) lets you choose espresso or regular coffee, and considering most single-purpose home espresso machines run pricier than this one, this is truly a deal. In our coffee maker lab, CR’s test engineers find this model very convenient to use: It comes with a permanent cone-type filter, and the carafe is easy to handle and pour. Plus, there’s a steam wand that lets you heat milk to create microfoam for a cappuccino.

This large-capacity Zojirushi drip coffee maker is the non-programmable version of one we’ve tested in our labs—though we haven’t tested this one, we expect its performance to be about the same. It has a shower-style mechanism to dispense water over the coffee grounds for even coverage, and our testers found the carafe easy to use. However, it didn’t quite meet our standards in our brew test in terms of bringing the coffee to a temperature of 195 to 205 degrees and maintaining it for five to six minutes. But Zojirushi as a brand does have top scores for reliability and owner satisfaction for its drip coffee makers.

The Ninja Single Serve Pods & Grounds PB051 dual coffee maker is virtually three machines in one: A pod coffee maker, a drip coffee maker, and a milk frother. For single-serve Keurig K-Cups, a speedy first cup is paramount, and our testers found this model excellent in that regard. For drip brewing, we found brew performance very good, meaning the machine brewed at between 195° and 205° F for five or six minutes, the industry standard for optimal brewing and the best flavor. This Ninja model has a removable reservoir, water filter, and an indicator to tell you when you’ll need to clean it.

The Ballarini Parma Non-Stick 10-piece nonstick cookware set includes two frying pans, two saucepans, one sauté pan, and a stockpot, plus lids that count as separate pieces. In our lab tests, we found the pans’ speed of heating and cooking evenness to be excellent. Nonstick food release and durability were also very good, and this set did a very good job of evenly simmering tomato sauce. We haven’t seen a deal on this set quite as good since last Black Friday.

The Babish 14-inch carbon steel wok has a flat bottom, making it usable on all types of cooktops, including electric and induction. In our tests, cooking evenness in this wok was top-notch, and it showed very good heating speed. In addition to its main handle, there’s a metal helper handle, making it easier to lift when full. Our testers found it easy to clean and use. This wok comes pre-seasoned, which is handy because seasoning a wok manually can be a time-consuming process.

Don’t confuse Made In cookware with Made By Design. They both do well in our ratings, but the Made In brand is more often sold directly to consumers on the manufacturer’s website in sets or individually. The 10-inch frying pan impressed testers. It receives an excellent score for heating evenness, and a very good score for ease of cleaning—pretty great for stainless steel. Plus, you can count on the handles to be sturdy and stay cool to the touch while you’re cooking.

We haven’t seen a deal on this Made In 10-Piece Clad set in over a year, so it’s worth considering if you’re looking for a full cookware set, especially one that’s free of PTFE (Teflon) and other harmful PFAS chemicals. This set aces our cooking evenness tests, in which we use a thermal imaging camera to look for cooler spots, as well as our speed of heating and food release tests. This set is on the pricier side, but one thing you can generally rely on when you pay more for cookware is handle sturdiness. In our tests, this model received a very good score for that measure.

If you like to stay organized in the kitchen, you’ll appreciate the cord storage, disc carrier, and dicing kit cleaner that come with the Breville The Paradice 9 BFP638 food processor. Even better, it receives excellent scores for most of the main functions you buy a food processor for: chopping, slicing, and shredding (though it receives only a fair score in our test for grating a sturdy Parmesan cheese). It also earned a middling score for puréeing, generally not a surprise to those who test food processors. This model comes with a 30-year motor warranty.

Considering all of the attachments that come with this food processor, the Ninja Foodi Ultimate System SS401 truly is a whole system. In addition to grating, shredding, and slicing attachments and a dough blade, it comes with a personal blender attachment to help you whip up smoothies. It shows excellent performance in our shredding and grating tests and very good performance in chopping onions and almonds and slicing celery and mushrooms in our lab. We see this model on sale at this price or less roughly twice a year, with Prime Day this being one of those times.

The GE GFC720N continuous-feed garbage disposal ranks among the best in our ratings. In our tests, this 3/4-hp device grinds bones quickly and with a tolerable level of noise. But keep in mind that these GEs have only a one-year warranty, while others we’ve evaluated have warranties of up to 10 years or more. It’s worth noting that this model is selling for $179.99 at other retailers right now.
