The best Amazon Prime Day kitchen deals
Vitamix
In our guide to our favorite kitchen gadgets, we cite the Vitamix E310 Explorian blender as one of the best choices for almost any kitchen. It retails for $380, but it’s now $50 off, dropping to $330, which is about $50 more than its all-time low price.
It’s still an expensive purchase, but one that impressed us with its ability to make even the toughest ingredients smooth and creamy.
$330 on Amazon
Ninja
The Dual Zone Air Fryer is ideal for anyone looking for a good dual zone air fryer. After testing it, we think it is best suited for those with large kitchens as it takes up a lot of space. But if you are cooking for a lot of people at once, its capacity and ability to cook two different foods at different temperatures at the same time will definitely come in handy.
It also preheats almost instantly and has a special feature that ensures that two different foods are ready and hot at the same time. It usually sells for up to $230, but right now it’s $180, which is about $40 more than last Black Friday’s price.
$180 on Amazon
Instant Pot
The Instant Vortex Plus 6QT Air Fryer is our top overall pick for an air fryer because it heats quickly, cooks food evenly, and has a nifty window that lets you peek at your food. The Odor Erase technology does a pretty good job of mitigating cooking odors, but we found that it didn’t eliminate them completely.
Thanks to Prime Day, the six-quart air fryer is now just $129, which is a decent discount from its list price of $170, though we’ve seen it go as low as $72.
$129 on Amazon
Breville
The Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro is now $300 after Prime Day slashed 25% off its $400 list price — the lowest price we’ve seen in the past year.
The Breville Smart Oven is our recommended air fryer/toaster oven combo. It’s huge, with the capacity to fit a five-quart Dutch oven, making it almost a side oven – ideal for those who are entertaining or cooking for a crowd.
Despite the “smart” in the name, this isn’t a connected app. Instead, the term refers to internal technologies that adjust and direct heat as you cook.
$300 on Amazon
Sodastream
Those who prefer sparkling beverages can grab a SodaStream Art Bundle that is now $105 instead of the usual $199 price tag, marking a new low. The bundle includes the sparkling water maker, two 60-liter CO2 cylinders, two dishwasher-safe bottles, and two bottles of flavored tabs.

Instant Pot
The budget pick in our sous vide guide is the Instant Pot Accu Slim Sous Vide, which is currently $68, just a few dollars off its all-time low.
We think this stick from the makers of the ubiquitous Instant Pot is a great starting point for those getting into sous vide cooking. The controls are simple and the tongs are easy to use, plus the 800-watt heater is more than capable of maintaining a consistent temperature.
$68 on Amazon
Breville
Our guide’s top pick for sous vide cooking comes from Breville. The brand’s Joule Turbo sous vide machine typically sells for $250, but Prime Day prices bring it down to a slightly more affordable $200, which happens to be its lowest price yet.
It features a powerful 1,100-watt heating element and a new Turbo mode to reduce cooking times. Just note that you’ll need your phone to control it via the companion app as there are no built-in controls.
$200 on Amazon
Cooking aid
The KitchenAid Corded Variable Speed Immersion Blender is the corded version of one of our favorite immersion blenders. Right now, it’s $25 off and on sale for $45, which is the lowest price it’s been in the last year, but we’ve seen this particular price a few times, so it’s not necessarily a Prime Day-related sale.
Like its cordless counterpart, this version also has a variable speed feature that changes depending on how hard you press the trigger for more precise mixing. We’re also fans of the included pot guard to prevent scratches and the included dishwasher-safe mixing bowl.
$45 on Amazon
Vitamix
The Vitamix immersion blender is our pick for a countertop alternative in our immersion blender guide. Right now, a three-piece set that includes a whisk and storage case is just $130, which is less than the sale price of the blender itself. At full price, the set costs $170.
Vitamix’s handheld machine has one of the most powerful motors we’ve tried, and the unique head not only maximizes traction to better incorporate ingredients, but also fits into a quart-size jar for more convenient blending.
$130 on Amazon
Cooking aid
Another pick from our kitchen gadget guide is the KitchenAid 5-Quart Artisan Stand Mixer. For Prime Day, a bundle with a flex-edge beater is on sale for $350. That’s $100 less than what you’d pay for the mixer alone and $125 less than the full-price bundle.
Artisan Series mixers have been a favorite among home bakers for years because they are durable, powerful, and look great on a countertop. The long list of available accessories makes this mixer much more than just a kneading machine.

The Breville Juice Fountain Plus impressed us with its ability to juice even the driest vegetables, and right now for Prime Day it’s $50 off and selling for $130, which is about $5 more than it was last Prime Day.
We found it relatively easy to clean (as long as you do it immediately after juicing) and the motor inside was remarkably powerful. It takes up a fair bit of space, but makes delicious, healthy juices effortlessly.
$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 marked down to $9 for Prime Day.
We love it because it’s compact, yet holds up to 11 pounds. Plus, it easily switches between pounds, grams, and fluid ounces. It’s a handy tool for cooking and a must-have for baking.
$9 on Amazon
COSORI
The price is down to $56 from $70 for Prime Day, which is the lowest price we’ve seen this year.
The electric kettle on one of our editors’ small countertop because it has different built-in temperature settings for different types of drinks, and the collar makes it ideal for Chemex-made coffee.
$56 on Amazon
Chemex
The Chemex Drip Coffee Maker is also on sale right now. You can get this popular coffee companion for just $43 instead of the list price of $47. It’s another pick from our Gadget Guide. We love that it takes up less space than a drip coffee maker while producing significantly better-tasting coffee.
