You Won’t Want to Miss These All-Time-Low Amazon October Prime Day Prices on Our Favorite Tested Kitchen Gear

The Best Blender Ever: Vitamix 5200 Blender

Our favorite ever blender is on sale for Prime Day at its lowest price, ever. I mean, is it even a question whether or not you should buy it? It aced our tests—it can crush nuts into nut butter, folks. I’ve owned this blender for a couple of years now, and it’s blown every other blender I’ve had out of the jar. No more stringy smoothies! Perfectly puréed pesto! I even use it to grind whole dried peppers into powder—beat that!

$150 Off a Breville Espresso Machine: Breville Barista Express Impress Espresso Machine

This has been one of our favorite espresso machines for years, and it’s easy to see why:

It has a built-in grinder, an automatic coffee dispensing system, and assisted tamping. And obviously, it brews a proper, balanced shot. At its lowest price ever, it’s worth buying if you’ve been dreaming of becoming an at-home barista. 

The Best Affordable Thermometer: ThermoPop 2

If you still don't have an instant-read thermometer to ensure meats and foods are properly cooked, now's the time to get one—this is a fantastic deal on our favorite affordable, instant-read thermometer from ThermoWorks. It's fast, easy to use, and incredibly accurate.

Nearly 25% Off a KitchenAid Mixer: KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer

A stand mixer is the best way to whip cream—no more aching wrists! It also comes in clutch for a myriad of baking projects, including mixing chocolate chip cookies and kneading butter into brioche dough. This 5-quart model from KitchenAid is one of our favorite smaller options, and it’s currently on sale for over $100 off for Amazon Prime Day. 

An Easy-to-Use Coffee Grinder: Breville Smart Grinder Pro

Grinding coffee beans is a simple way to improve your daily brew. And the Breville Smart Grinder Pro not only grinds precisely, but it’s also incredibly easy to use—we love the touchscreen and the easy hopper and burr assembly. Plus, the Breville was Serious Eats’ office grinder for years. It’s the lowest price I’ve seen, so if you’ve been eyeing a coffee grinder, this is the one to get. 

A Stainless Steel Cookware Set We Actually Recommend: All-Clad D3 3-Ply Stainless Steel Cookware Set

This fantastic set is a few bucks shy of the lowest price ever, but I still think it’s worth considering. I’ve been using it for a while now, and you can’t beat an All-Clad’s responsiveness. This set has all the essentials, including two different sauce pans, and has unmatched durability. While our team isn’t a huge fan of cookware sets because they’re expensive and often include superfluous items, this is the exception. 

A Set of Food Storage Containers We Love: Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers

Food storage containers might seem like a dull Prime Day purchase, but sometimes, stocking up on the essentials is the way to go. I use these leakproof containers daily and appreciate how the clear plastic lets me know exactly what’s inside. The glass version of this set is also on sale. 

A Pellet Ice Machine: GE Profile Opal 2.0 XL Pellet Ice Machine

Soft and crunchy pellet ice is an indulgent form of frozen water. This pellet ice machine from GE lets you make it right at home. Hello, fancy highball cocktails! We love the detachable reservoir, which makes it easy to fill and clean, and of course, it churns out perfect pellet ice every time. For Prime Day, it’s the lowest price I’ve seen at $250 off. 

A Water Tumbler for Hydrating on-the-Go: Simple Modern 40-Ounce Trek Tumbler

While tumblers may have lost their sheen (everyone wants an Owala water bottle instead), I still think they are worth considering, especially if you like to tote water around with you—a handle is indispensable! Add a straw, and it’s smooth sipping. Our winner from Simple Modern is sleek and, well, modern-looking, and surprisingly leakproof. It’s on sale for nearly 30% off for Amazon Prime Day.
