It has plenty of room for snacks and fits in a tote bag without taking up too much space,” one reviewer wrote. It's only $15 with an extra coupon, so you don't have to hesitate.
Ninja Double Stack 2 Basket Air Fryer
Counter space is a precious commodity in any kitchen. That's why the new Ninja Doublestack Air Fryer is such a cleverly designed item. Unlike other dual basket models, this one has two baskets stacked vertically, one on top of the other. Not only does it save space, but it also saves time as its 8-quart capacity gives you enough room for multiple ingredients. It has 6 functions including air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat, and dehydrate. It's the perfect solution for finishing meals quickly while also keeping the heat down in your kitchen.

It comes with a 48-ounce pitcher with a lid that has a removable cap. It also comes with a personal cup that's perfect for making small or personal servings of smoothies, dressings, and more.

Trend Plain Olive Oil Dispenser
This olive oil dispenser is a must-have for any kitchen. It has two great ways to dispense oil: press down on the lever to spray or tilt to open the spout and pour. This multi-function dispenser makes it easy to drip, mist or pour olive oil without making a mess. The base is made from durable borosilicate glass and has a wide opening for easy pouring. Purchase the dark green glass option ($15) to keep your olive oil out of the sun and fresher longer.
Songmics Expandable Dish Drying Rack
The right dish rack makes cleaning a breeze. This Songmics dish drying rack features a unique design that keeps your dishes and glasses organized. The stainless steel rack holds up to 11 plates and 10 bowls. There's a utensil holder on one side and a cup holder on the other that holds up to four cups. If you need more space, you can expand the tray to hold pans or cutting boards upright. It also has an expandable drain that rotates 360 degrees so you can run water into the sink from any side of the rack. Not only is it new, but it's currently 26% off on Prime.
Vvniaa Soft Silicone Tumbler Ice Mold
This ice mold creates ice cubes that fit perfectly in your everyday tumblers. It has three slots, each of which can create different sized cylindrical ice cubes. The first two slots create ice cubes that fit perfectly in 20-30 ounce tumblers. The last slot is perfect for larger 40 ounce tumblers. Unlike regular ice cubes, this cylindrical ice cube melts slower and stays on the side, so you don't have to push a straw through a pile of tiny ice cubes. The tray also comes with a lid, which makes the freezing process easier. With over 2,000 purchases in the past month, this genius tool is sure to help keep your summer drinks cold.
