Ninja Fit Compact Personal Blender

If you ask me, you can't go through summer without a personal blender. Personal blenders are perfect for refreshing smoothies, personal cocktails, mocktails, and help you mix salad dressings with ease. I'm sure many of you are looking for a personal blender this time of year, and this 35% off compact model from Ninja is a good choice. It's the #1 bestseller on Amazon's personal blender list, with over 31,000 perfect ratings from users. Just press and twist to blend anything in no time. It comes with a base, 16 oz cup, and lid, making it a complete set.

Lodge 12-inch Preseasoned Cast Iron Frying Pan

If you don't have a cast iron skillet, you're missing out big time. I believe a skillet is an essential piece of cookware, and you don't have to spend a fortune to get one. Lodge is a brand we love, and this skillet, which is 43% off right now, is a great choice in my opinion. Of course, you could always buy a classic skillet (also on sale), but this shape with a helper handle allows you to use the pan in more places than just on the stovetop, due to its more compact design. It works beautifully in the oven, on the grill, in the smoker, on the campfire, and of course on the stove. The 12-inch diameter makes it more versatile than you'd expect, and it has a pour spout so it drains easily. Not much else you need.

Paudan 8-inch chef's knife

Have you ever tried to chop a tomato with a dull knife? Summer is not the time to be rattling around with an old blade. (And let's be honest, for safety reasons, there's really no better time.) This Paudin model is one of our favorites and an easy addition to any collection, and it's priced at just $24. With a sharp blade, you'll be able to slice through summer tomatoes (and eventually fall and winter squash) with no hassle. Not only does it cut well, it's also well-balanced and comfortable to use, making it an incredible value at this Prime Day price.

Ninja 5.5 Quart Air Fryer

One of the most popular items people are looking to buy is the air fryer, which is at its peak popularity this time of year. It's easy to see why: air fryers help you get meals on the table quickly and keep your kitchen from heating up. This Ninja Air Fryer is a hot item, and it's 44% off today. The 5.5-quart basket holds a bit more than your average air fryer, but it still doesn't take up much space at 11 x 14 x 14.75 inches. The front display also makes it easy to select different settings.

Vitamix Propel 510

Every time I use my Vitamix blender, I'm glad I have it. It's one of my most durable and efficient kitchen gadgets. It's a must-have all year round, but it's especially useful this time of year, so I'm always looking for and sharing great deals. One of the brand's newer models, the Propel 510, is currently nearly 30% off. It's perfect for someone who likes something simple but still wants a few extra features. Use the dial to adjust the speed or choose from settings for smoothies, soups, or frozen desserts. It also has a pulse switch for control and comes with a classic tapered 48-ounce pitcher for the perfect blend.

Instant Pot 10 Quart Air Fryer

If you're looking for a larger air fryer, you can't go wrong with our recommended large capacity options. With a 10-quart capacity and a traditional oven-like shape with a drop-down door, it's easy to cook, roast, bake, air fry, and more. Considering the amazing cooking results, easy-to-use settings, and additional accessories, we think it's an absolute bargain at the original price, and with a 33% discount, it's even better value.

Gosney Lockbox Pizza Oven

Prime Day is a great time to stock up on outdoor cooking equipment, and pizza ovens are one of the most anticipated deals. We love Gozney ovens, but you can't always fit a larger model on your patio or deck. That's where the Roccbox comes in: a portable option for pizza lovers who don't want to commit entirely to something that takes up too much space. According to the brand, despite its more compact size, it can heat up to 950°F and cook a pizza in 60 seconds. Get it today for $100 off.

Cafe Specialty Drip Coffee Maker

I've been on the hunt for a new drip coffee maker, and this Cafe Specialty model has been catching my eye for a long time. Not only because it looks beautiful, but also because we rated this model highly after testing popular coffee makers. This is our favorite programmable option on the market thanks to its great features. It can be operated over WiFi (from your bed, that is) and makes incredibly tasty, hot coffee in no time. I've found that this carafe keeps my coffee hotter than many other options on the market, which is important to me as I only drink my coffee piping hot. All colors are on sale, but the white shade is 40% off, making it a hard choice to pass up.

Cuisinart 1.5 Quart Ice Cream Maker

While some ice cream lovers enjoy their cold dessert on the coldest days of the year, many of us crave ice cream most in the summer. And this Cuisinart ice cream maker is discounted just in time. We found it on sale in three colors: white, light pink, and red. It's super easy to use: freeze the 1.5-quart bowl before stirring, snap on the ice cream base, and flip the switch on the front to stir. The top stays open for easy filling. Get it today for almost 30% off.

KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt Head Stand Mixer

I've been using my family's KitchenAid mixer for as long as I can remember (it's still going strong after 20 years). This year I'm finally buying one for myself so I don't end up with a monopoly. That means sales like Prime Day are super important for grabbing those wishlist items at discounted prices. I know I'm not the only one. Luckily, there's this 10-speed, 5-quart model on sale right now. This model tilts upward so you can attach and detach the attachments (whisk, dough hook, paddle) and have space to scrape the bowl or add ingredients. I have my eye on matte black, but it comes in a variety of shades.
