Amazon Prime Day deals on kitchen essentials include up to 50 percent off on air fryers, Instant Pots and sous vide machine

Engadget07-07-2025
There are already thousands of early Prime Day deals out there (the sale doesn't officially start until tomorrow), but this list is all about the best Prime Day kitchen deals are on gadgets and kitchen accessories that we've tested and recommend. We've tested a slew of kitchen tech in our own apartments and houses and have dutifully written up our assessments. That means you can read our reviews (all linked below) to get our impressions of a device before you buy. So if it's time for a new air fryer or if you've been curious about the cooking alchemy that is sous vide cooking , check out below for the best Prime Day deals on the kitchen tech we recommend.
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for $320 ($80 off): This is the premium pick in our air fryer guide — but really, it does far more than just air fry. As our reviewer noted, its massive cubic-foot-capacity and numerous cook modes make this more like an auxiliary oven. (It can even cook an entire 14-pound turkey.) It went on sale for $300 during last year's Black Friday sales.
Ninja Foodie Dual Zone Air Fryer (10 QT) for $180 ($70 off): This is the air fryer to pick if you've ever wished you could air fry two different things at the same time. We named it the best dual-zone air fryer you can get — it even has a feature that makes sure the two different foods are ready at the same time.
Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer (6 QT) for $100 ($70 off): After studious testing (and dutiful eating) our reviewers named this one the best air fryer you can buy. And, after reading that assessment, I bought one myself so I can verify this is one great machine. The Odor Ease tech really does keep the cooking smells at bay and the window lets me keep an eye on all the crisping that's going on in there.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer (4QT) for $65 ($65 off with Prime): Here's a smaller version of the Instant air fryer we named best overall. It has a four-quart capacity, which is perfect for one person and small kitchens. And, like its larger sibling, pre-heats quickly.
Ninja Air Fryer (4 QT) for $80 ($50 off): The budget pick from our air fryer guide isn't currently on sale, but this four-quart Ninja fryer has twice the capacity and is nearly the same price. It can also roast and dehydrate in addition to air frying and reheating.
Cuckoo Twin Pressure Rice Cooker for $190 ($70 off with Prime): This is the best premium rice cooker in our guide to those machines. We like how quickly it cooks all types of rice to perfection (we tested it with long-grain white basmati, brown and sushi-grade white rice). Just keep in mind that it can be a little difficult to clean and the manual isn't the most user-friendly.
Hamilton Beach Digital Programmable Rice Cooker for $40 ($10 off with Prime) : Our top pick for a budget rice cooker is on sale for Prime members. The brown rice came out particularly good in our tests and the cooker is easy to clean with a dishwasher-safe cooker pot and steamer basket. Just note that it's pretty small and doesn't have the granular controls of pricer models.
Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine for $200 ($50 off): The premium pick in our guide to sous vice machines has a powerful 1,100-watt heater that cuts down on cooking times. It also uses your phone as the controller (just don't get it if you're hoping for on-device buttons).
Anova Sous Vide Cooker 3.0 for $145 (37 percent off): Our top pick for a sous vide machine delivers 1,100 watts of power and a flow rate of eight liters per minute which will get your water up to the right temperature faster. It also has intuitive digital touch controls and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Ooni Volt 12 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven for $630 ($269 off): This is our pick for the best indoor pizza oven — but it can be used outdoors as well thanks to its weather-resistant design. It has front-mounted controls that let you individually control the upper and lower heating elements and it can get up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit in as little as 20 minutes.
Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender for $330 ($50 off): Note that we've seen this go for as little as $255 in past sales, and it dropped to $300 as recently as May. But this is still a decent $50 discount on a blender that will make any food you put in it smooth. We recommend it in our guide to the best kitchen tech.
KitchenAid Classic Series (4.5 QT) for $300 ($50 off): Prime Day and Black Friday sales are usually the best times to snag Kitchen Aid's iconic mixers — unfortunately, this discount isn't even as good as the $250 it sold for in May. Still you can save $50 on a classic appliance that we recommend in our guide to essential kitchen gadgets. These mixers are durable, reliable and, with the wide range of attachments, can truly expand your cooking arsenal.
Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional-Grade for $350 ($150 off with Prime): I can personally attest to the nearly magical abilities of Vitamix blenders. It can make chunky salsas, smooth-as-silk soups and smoothies in which the chia and hemp seeds seem to disappear into the fruit. This pro-grade model is down to the lowest price we've tracked this year.

The best Amazon deals this week will save you up to 75% on bedding, tech and more

In Auckland, New Zealand, there's a 15-month-old cat who's literally made a name for himself with his prolific pilfering of clothes and accessories from his neighbors, much of it high-end merch like silk boxers and a nearly $200 cashmere sweater. So accomplished is the feline that he's acquired the moniker Leonardo da Pinchy. "He brought in a jersey this morning at 10 past 8," said his owner, Helen North. "The shops hadn't even opened." Much like Leonardo, you need not wait for brick-and-mortar business hours to go on the hunt — this week's best Amazon deals are, well, timeless. Time for a pillow refresh? You can't beat these super-comfy, super-popular pillows at over 75% off. And you don't have to be a glamour-puss to want to maintain a youthful, dewy visage; let this beauty editor-approved serum work its magic — it's now a near-record-low $9. Finally, scoring an almost $100 markdown on a heated styling brush? That's just catnip for wily shoppers like us. "All of our neighbors think he's amazing," said North of Leonardo. "Some of them are quite put out that he hasn't actually stolen anything of theirs." Looking to earn neighborhood-legend status without resorting to petty theft? These Amazon deals are so good, they feel like a steal.

Amazon plans popular service change customers are bound to hate

Despite the challenging economic situation, inflation, high labor costs, and customer behavior shifts nationwide, Amazon (AMZN) keeps posting strong earnings. This suggests that the retailer knows how to retain its existing customers and attract new ones. The e-commerce giant posted second-quarter financial results revealing overall sales of $167.7 billion, beating analysts' estimates by an impressive $5.60 billion. However, Amazon Web Services (AWS) sales were a bit disappointing compared to the competition. AWS sales improved 17.5% to $30.9 billion, while Microsoft Azure had a 39% increase, and Google Cloud grew 32%, "reinforcing fears that AWS may be losing ground in the AI cloud race," writes The Street's Moz Farooque. While investors were shaken by Amazon's outlook suggesting operating income in the range of $15.5 billion to $20.5 billion, compared to Wall Street's estimate of $19.41 billion, Amazon shared its big plans for AI. CEO Andy Jassy highlighted during the earnings call that AI technology "is the biggest technology transformation of our lifetime" and that it will "enable customer experiences we really only dreamed about before." Jassy also shared interesting updates for Alexa+. Image source:for Amazon Web Services In February 2025, Amazon officially introduced Alexa+, its next-generation AI-powered assistant. Per the official press release, Alexa+ can: Engage in conversation; Entertain; Teach; Helps with organization; Summarize complex topics; Protect home; Make reservations; Search, find, or buy products online. Related: Leaked data shows Nvidia taking page from Zuckerberg's playbook Amazon recently expanded Alexa+ to millions of customers; however, it is not yet publicly available. Instead of rolling it out widely, Amazon sent invites to customers who originally signed up to test the service when it became available. During Early Access, Alexa+ is available for free with an Echo Show 8, 15, or 21. Later, it will be free for Prime customers, while non-Prime users will have to pay $19.99 per month after its public launch. Will that bring enough profit to return Amazon's investment in this technology? Last year, Wall Street reported that "between 2017 and 2021, Amazon had more than $25 billion in losses from its devices business." While the figures for the years before and after are unavailable, it's hard to assume they are much better. During the Q2 earnings call, Jassy hinted that the company is considering adding ads to the upgraded virtual assistant. More AI: Sam Altman worried AI could steal money from your bank accountMeta delivers eye-popping AI announcementVeteran trader surprises with Palantir price target and comments "I think that over time, there will be opportunities, as people are engaging more multi-turn conversations to have advertising play a role to help people find discovery and also as a lever to drive revenue." Jassy added that there could also be a room for "a subscription element beyond what there is today." Amazon's second quarter advertising revenue grew 22% year over year, driven by sponsored products. The company stated that advertising "remains an important contributor to profitability in the North American international segments." Related: Forget job loss, study shows AI may add $18K to your paycheck While advertising is a strong contributor to Amazon's profits, including it in Amazon+ service can turn out to be a risky move in terms of customer satisfaction. According to a survey conducted by user-first media platform Picnic, in partnership with YouGov, 70% of people find digital advertising annoying and unpleasant. More key findings from Ad Experience survey: 66% agree that too many ads reduce brand trust;72% agree it negatively affects brand perception; 71% agree it makes them less likely to purchase from the brand. When the news of Amazon possibly introducing ads to Alexa+ reached Reddit, some consumers expressed frustratation with the idea. "That is an incredible insult to the consumer. I'll drop every single device I have, and that's one in each room. And likely reduce or eliminate purchasing from Amazon," one customer wrote. Another consumer commented, "All the more reason to quit using Alexa, or even just quit Amazon altogether!" Currently, ads are only appearing in Alexa restrictively. There's an occasional visual ad on the Echo Show or a prerecorded ad in between songs on one of Alexa's smart speakers. Moreover, Alexa+ reviews are mixed, suggesting there's much more to be done to improve the service. Some customers argue that while the new features including multiple requests are good, Alexa+ is unable to control as many tasks as expected. It appears that the major upgrade from previous Alexa was making Alexa+ more conversational, which is not something every customer is interested in. There are also many complaints about voice options. Additionally, Alexa+ is not immune to hallucinations, so there's a lot of work to be done before implementing ads into the service, points out TechCrunch. While ads have not been confirmed for sure, it is most likely that they will become part of the Alexa+ experience at one point. Even Amazon's major AI competitors, such as Google and OpenAI's ChatGPT, are exploring the possibility and are open to "tasteful" advertising. When it happens, it would be interesting to see how much Amazon would profit from it, and how many customers it would drive away.
