New gear can make cooking easier (and sometimes more fun) but the best kitchen tech isn’t cheap. That’s why it’s a good idea to wait for a sale like Amazon's Prime Day . At Engadget, we’ve tested plenty of kitchen gear (and have opinions to accompany said testing) so we searched for discounts on what we actually recommend. We found deals on some of our preferred brands like air fryers from Breville, Instant Pot cookers, sous vide machines and even a Ninja ice cream maker. We’ve linked to our testing and reviews so you can get the information you need before you buy. Here are the best Prime Day deals on kitchen tech we could find.
The best Prime Day kitchen deals
Ninja Slushi for $300 ($50 off) : We haven’t officially tested this one just yet, but given our love of both the Creami and the Creami Swirl , it’s a fair bet that this one will do good things with cold stuff too. This is the lowest price of the year so far.
Vitamix 2-Speed Immersion Blender for $90 ($40): For quick sauces and soups, we like this nifty two-speed hand blender from Vitamix, and said so in our guide to cheap kitchen gadgets. It even comes with a whisk for making your own whipped cream.

Vitamix 5-Speed Immersion Blender for $200 ($100 off): If you want a little extra oomph from your hand blender, grab this one. We named it the best counter top replacement model in our guide to the best immersion blenders. The 625 watt motor is more powerful than most and the blender head is intelligently designed to reduce suction and prevent scratches plus it fits inside a wide mouth mason jar.
Ninja Creami ice cream maker with extra pints $200 ($55 off with Prime): Here's a bundle that includes two additional pint jars for the ice cream maker. It's one of our favorite pieces of kitchen tech and we called it a frozen fantasy-maker in our review. Note that the unit itself dipped down to $160 last Black Friday and the extra pints have gone as low as $16.
Hamilton Beach Digital Rice Cooker for $37 ($13 off): Our top pick for a budget rice cooker is great for small kitchens (but probably not for big families). We thought it outperformed other cookers that are four times the price, though it’s not the best for all-day warming of rice as the bottom bigs got a little overdone.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus with Clear Cook for $80 ($20 off with Prime): This Vortex air fryer model is similar to our top airfryer pick, but is missing the Odor Ease feature. It still has the Clear Cook window that lets you keep an eye on your food as it crisps and the Vortex cooking tech heats up remarkably fast, with almost no pre-heating time.
