Instant Pot, Ninja and more: the Prime Day kitchen upgrades we’re shopping now

October 7, 2025

Prime Big Deal Days is here, offering discounts on small kitchen appliances during the 48-hour sale, exclusive to Prime members. You can also find deals on wearable tech, Apple products, skin care and more.

I frequently cover shopping events like Prime Day, Black Friday and Cyber Monday as a commerce editor for NBC Select, so I know how to find deals that are actually worth buying. I spent weeks combing through thousands of discounts to find the best October Prime Day small kitchen appliance deals — each one I recommend below is highly rated and 20% off or more, as well as at its lowest price in at least three months or lowest price ever. I’ll frequently update this list throughout Prime Big Deal Days.

Best October Prime Day small kitchen appliance deals

The Instant Pot Duo requires less time than a stovetop to make soups, stews and large roasts. It uses high pressure to tenderize meat and poultry in minutes, but it also has functions for grains, yogurt, soup and more. It also has a timer on the front and a “keep warm” feature for when you’re done cooking but not quite ready to store your food.

The Chefman air fryer is a great fit for anyone who hasn’t used an air fryer before and/or only prepares meals for themselves. It has a 4-quart capacity, making it suitable for frozen foods (fries, vegetables, fish and more), and it has functions for meat and poultry. It has a maximum temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit and the basket is dishwasher safe.

This single-serve coffee maker is compatible with the brand’s coffee pods and brews four sizes: 6, 8 10 and 12 ounces. It has a removable 66-ounce water reservoir on the side. Plus, the top of the appliance has functions for brew strength and temperature (hot or iced).

This blender is powerful enough to blend fruits, vegetables, ice and more. It also comes with a portable bottle, a blade attachment and an attachable food processor.

This tea kettle has a 1.8-liter capacity and stands around 9 inches tall. It boils water in only three minutes — a blue light turns on to indicate that it’s actually heating up. Plus, it has a swivel base and an auto shut-off feature.

This appliance is a toaster oven, convection oven and air fryer all in one. It comes with multiple accessories: two wire racks, two sheet pans, a roast tray, one air fryer basket, a crumb tray and a small guide with 15 recipes. It’s perfect for preparing pizza, roasts, breads, bagels and more. It also has two racks, so you can prepare multiple foods at once.

Vitamix makes some of the most powerful blenders available. This one has more than 1,300 watts of power and is suitable for smoothies, milkshakes, sauces, salsas and much more. It has 10 speeds, all of which are adjustable between high and low variations. It’s around 20 inches tall and has a 64-ounce capacity.

The 4-quart air fryer has functions for air frying, broiling, dehydrating and reheating. It’s a go-to appliance for frozen foods and side dishes, preparing food in minutes. It has a window on the front so you can watch your food and the basket is dishwasher safe. It’s around 10 inches tall and 10 inches wide.

I’ve had my Nutribullet blender for years and I love it because it’s powerful and easy to clean. It easily blends fruit, ice and vegetables — I use mine for meal prep and protein shakes. It’s also simple to use: all you have to do is twist the cup and push down.

If you prefer to blend your coffee at home, this grinder is the best option for you. It’s around 15 inches tall and 8 inches wide, and it has an 18-ounce capacity. It has an LCD display with 60 grind modes and lets you choose how many shots of espresso you want.

I gifted this air fryer to my brother and he loves using it. It’s powerful and has a 6-quart capacity, so it’s perfect for large amounts of frozen foods (vegetables, fries, and seafood). It has a maximum temperature of 400 degrees Fahrenheit and multiple functions: broil, dehydrate, roast, reheat and more.

This espresso maker comes with a milk frother for lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos and more. It has a one-touch system — just press the button on top to brew espresso (it makes single and double shots) or 5, 8 and 12 ounces of coffee. It has a 37-ounce water reservoir and holds up to 5 coffee pods.

The K-Express is an affordable single-serve coffee maker, perfect for college students or anyone on a budget. It makes 8, 10 and 12 ounces of coffee and it allows you to adjust the brew strength. It also has a 42-ounce removable water reservoir and the drip tray is removable to fit a tall coffee tumbler.

We tested this cordless SodaStream for our at-home soda makers roundup, and loved the easy setup. It comes with a CO2 capsule, flavored drops and dishwasher-safe bottles.
