Amazon Prime Day sales bring discounts in every category, including kitchenware and consumer electronics. At Engadget, we’re interested in the intersection of these two departments, and we’ve tested dozens of smart gadgets like the , as well as lower-tech stuff like the . We’re happy to report that many of the cookware we recommend are currently on sale for Prime Day, and we’ve rounded up the best kitchen tech deals right here.

The Ninja Creami Ice Cream Maker is on sale for $150, which is $50 off its list price and within a dollar of its all-time low. The car earned a high score of 90 in our review, with our reviewer saying it “makes your frozen dreams come true.”
He loved how quickly and easily it made ice cream and was impressed with its ability to make other desserts, such as sorbet and froyo. And although it took up a bit of space in his small kitchen, it’s something he’s willing to make room for.
$150 on Amazon
Vitamix
In our guide to our favorite kitchen gadgets, we call the Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender one of the best bets for almost any kitchen. It was listed at $380, but is now $50 off and up to $330, which is about $50 more than the all-time low.
It’s still an expensive purchase, but one that impressed us with its ability to make even the toughest ingredients smooth and creamy.

Instant pot
The budget pick from our sous vide guide is Instant Pot’s Accu Slim Sous Vide, which is currently down to $68, which is within a few dollars of its all-time low.
We think this stick from the makers of the ubiquitous Instant Pot is a great starting point for those just getting into sous vide cooking. The controls are simple and the grip is easy to use, plus the 800 watt heater is capable enough to maintain a consistent temperature.
$68 on Amazon
Breville
The premium sous vide pick in our guide comes from Breville. The brand’s Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine normally retails for $250, but Prime Day pricing brings it down to a slightly more affordable $200, which happens to be its lowest price yet.
It has a powerful 1100 watt heater and a new Turbo mode to reduce cooking time. Just note that you’ll need your phone to control it via the companion app as there are no built-in controls.

The Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon is now 20 percent off and down to $160, matching the low it hit last Black Friday. Granted, this is still quite pricey for what amounts to a hand-cranked grinder, but in our experience, it can be worth it for passionate cooks.
One of our senior journalists called the grinder one of his favorite kitchen appliances. While he admits it’s a nice buy, it impressively churns out far more pepper per turn than other grinders, and the grind thickness is highly adjustable to perfectly spice up your recipes.
$160 on Amazon
Ninja
It’s ours for anyone looking for a good dual zone air blower. After testing it, we think it works best for those with larger kitchens as it takes up a lot of space. But if you are cooking for many people at the same time, its capacity and ability to cook two different foods at different temperatures will definitely come in handy.
It also heats up almost instantly and has a special feature that ensures two different foods are ready and hot at the same time. It usually retails for $230, but right now it’s going for $180, which is about $40 more than it sold for last Black Friday.
$180 on Amazon
Instant pot
The Instant Vortex Plus 6QT Air Fryer is our overall top pick for an air fryer because it heats up quickly, cooks food evenly, and has a great window that lets you view your dishes. The “Era Era” technology does a pretty good job of mitigating cooking odors, but we found that it didn’t completely eliminate them.
Thanks to Prime Day, the six-quart air fryer is now only $127, which is a nice discount from its $170 list price, though we’ve seen it go as low as $72.
$127 on Amazon
Breville
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is now $300 after Prime Day takes 25 percent off its $400 list price — the lowest price we’ve seen in the past year.
The Breville Smart Oven is what we recommend for a combination air fryer and toaster oven. It’s large, with the capacity to accommodate a five-quart dutch oven, which almost makes it a utility oven—ideal for those entertaining or cooking for a crowd.
Despite the “awake” in the name, this is not related to the app, rather, the term refers to the internal technologies that regulate and direct the heat while you cook.
$300 on Amazon
KitchenAid
The KitchenAid Corded Variable Speed Hand Blender is the corded version of one of our favorite immersion blenders. Right now, it’s $25 off and on sale for $45, matching last year’s low price, but we’ve seen this special price a few times, so it’s not necessarily a Prime Day promotion .
Like its cordless sibling, this version also has a variable speed feature that changes the harder you squeeze the trigger for a more precise blend. We’re also fans of the included pan guard to prevent scratches and the included dishwasher-safe mixing jar.
$45 on Amazon
Vitamix
The Vitamix immersion blender is our pick for a stand-up alternative in our guide to immersion blenders. Right now, a three-piece set that includes a whisk attachment and a storage case costs just $130, which is less than the retail price of the blender itself. At full price, the kit goes for $170.
The Vitamix handheld has one of the most powerful motors we’ve tested, and the unique head not only maximizes traction to better incorporate ingredients, but also fits inside a box jar for more convenient mixing.
$130 on Amazon
KitchenAid
Another pick from our kitchen gadget guide is KitchenAid’s Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer. For Prime Day, a bundle with a curved edge beater is on sale for $350. That’s $100 less than you’d pay for the blender alone, and $125 less than the full-price bundle.
Artisan Series mixers have been a favorite of home bakers for years because they are durable. powerful and look good on a counter. The long list of available attachments makes it much more than a unitasker too.

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus impressed us with its ability to extract juice from the driest of vegetables, and now for Prime Day it’s $50 off and on sale for $130, which is about $5 more than it went for last Prime Day.
We found it relatively easy to clean—as long as you do it right after you’ve drained—and the motor inside is extremely powerful. It takes up quite a bit of space, but makes delicious and healthy juice with little effort.
$130 on Amazon
Amazon Basics
Another small kitchen gadget we recommend for anyone interested in baking is the Amazon Basics digital kitchen scale. It’s down to $9 for Prime Day.
We like it because it’s compact but can handle up to 11 kilograms. Plus, it easily converts pounds, grams and fluid ounces. It’s a fun cooking tool and a must-have for baking.
$9 on Amazon
COSORI
The price is down to $56 instead of $70 for Prime Day, matching the lowest price we’ve seen this year.
One of our editors’ small counter electric kettle because it has different built-in temperature settings for different types of drinks and the neck makes it ideal for Chemex brewed coffee.
$56 on Amazon
Chemex
Chemex Pour-Over Glass Coffee is also on sale now. You can get this popular coffee companion for just $43 instead of the list price of $47. It’s another pick from our handy little guide. We love that it takes up less space than a drip machine while producing much better tasting coffee.
$43 on Amazon
sodastream
Those who prefer bubbles when they drink can get a SodaStream Art Pack which is now down to $105 instead of the daily price of $199, which is a new low. The kit includes the sparkling water machine, two 60 liter CO2 cylinders, two dishwasher safe bottles and two flavor drop bottles.
$105 on Amazon
