I’m a Food Writer, and These Are My Favorite Early Prime Day Deals on Kitchen Appliances.
With Amazon Prime Day approaching ( this year’s extended sale runs from July 8 to July 11), you may be practicing self-control in the days leading up to the annual shopping holiday, hoping to save money for the best deals.
Well, I’m happy to report that you can throw caution to the wind a little early: Amazon is already offering some great deals on kitchen appliances. Here are my favorites paving the way for Prime Day.
The Best Early Prime Day Deals on Multicookers
Under $100: The Instant Pot brand has been running its own holiday sale for the past few days, and this Instant Pot 9-in-1 Duo Plus Multi-Cooker is currently a real bargain. It’s priced at $69.99, which is 50 percent off its regular retail price of $139.99. This is a six-quart model, which is great for larger families or those who like to cook up multiple meals early in the week.
A bargain-priced option: the Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 Multi-Cooker for $99.99. That’s 41% off the $169.99 retail price. It’s currently $30 more expensive than the Duo, but it has more features, more presets, and monitoring capabilities via the Instant Pot app.
Best Early Prime Day Deals on Stand Mixers
A quality stand mixer should be able to do all the heavy lifting for you, mixing dough, whipping cream, and butter, and it should do so for years. With that in mind, these powerful machines don’t come cheap. However, this Instant brand stand mixer is as close to cheap as you can get without raising suspicion. This mixer is on sale right now for $169.99 (43% off $299.99), has 10 speeds, and unlike most stand mixers, you can program the speed and duration of mixing. That’s pretty cool.
Spurge Sale Option: Cuisinart 5.5 Quart Mixer is a brand I trust for its many kitchen appliances and quality cooking accessories. This mixer is $234.94 right now, 22% off the regular retail price of $299.95, and comes with a three-year warranty.
Best Early Prime Day Deals on Air Fryers
Under $100: Instant Pot again? Look, if it wasn’t a great piece of equipment, I wouldn’t buy it. The Instant Vortex Air Fryer is my favorite air fryer, and it’s currently 44% off for $89.99 . It’s powerful, heats evenly, is incredibly easy to operate, and is easy to clean. Still not sold? Read my rave review and see how it stacks up against other great air fryers I’ve tested.
Under $50: For $49.99, you can get a less flashy air fryer that will get the job done. The Dash 2.6-quart isn’t very big and doesn’t have fancy preset cooking options, but you can set the time and temperature, which is all a small countertop convection oven needs to crisp up some French fries or reheat last night’s fried chicken.
Best Early Prime Day Deals on Blenders
Spurge Sale Option: As a highly respected name in the kitchen game, Breville products would never be described as “cheap,” but you could describe this one as “sale.” The Breville Commercial Super Q Pro is currently priced at $499.99 , or 17% off. This model has five preset programs and includes two blender containers, so you can swap them out while the other one is in use.
Under $100: Breville is the go-to option for the big spenders, so here’s a blender that might fit your budget better. The Ninja blender is currently 27% off, for a more affordable price of $79.99. I’ve always found Ninja to be efficient and high-quality, so this blender should be a great addition to your kitchen.
Under $50: While not as versatile as a dedicated blender, for years I’ve effectively blended everything from single servings of whipped cream to protein smoothies, thick salsa to large batches of velvety broccoli soup using just an immersion blender. A good immersion blender is the best-kept secret for a budget chef. The Braun immersion blender is on sale for 29% off for $49.95 .
The Best Early Prime Day Deals on Coffee Makers
I’m an insufferable coffee addict (here’s my favorite pour-over pot, if you’re looking), but I’ve also been known to drink Nespresso every now and then. Breville has teamed up with Nespresso to bring you a compact espresso maker, and it’s currently 35% off for $110.47 .
Under $100: If you like more variety with your hot and cold coffees and don’t mind a splash of self-expression, the pistachio-colored Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ might be an even better deal for you. It can brew all the same coffees listed above, in addition to making 12-ounce shots.
