The 13 Best Kitchen Appliance Sales to Shop During Cyber Monday 2024

Ask anyone over 25 what’s at the top of their kitchen wish list, and there’s a 99.9 percent chance they’ll say a KitchenAid five-quart stand mixer, even if the most labor-intensive thing they “cook” is reheating leftover pizza. (True story: I lent my cherry-red six quart to a friend who doesn’t even bake, and she was stoked to have some eye candy on her countertop.) The five-quart  model is the classic and available in a bevy of colors—21 to be exact. It includes a stainless steel mixing bowl (in which you can make up to nine dozen cookies), three attachments (whisk, dough hook, paddle) and machine base with ten speeds. The bowl is easily accessed thanks to the tilt-head design and there are many other compatible accessories to turn you into a bona fide kitchen whiz, from pasta rollers to ice cream freezer bowls and meat grinders.

PureWow editors gave Vitamix blenders a score of 91/100 on the PureWow100 rating scale, with PureWow Vice President of Editorial Candace Davison calling hers a “beast” due to how powerful it is. While our editors tested higher-end models running over $500, the brand also offers more affordable options, like the Creations II, which is currently under $300. It has a 48-ounce capacity, 2HP motor and 13 functions, giving you the capability to churn out everything from soup to juice and smoothies. 

This ice maker took over TikTok in 2021 and has maintained its dominance ever since. Its claim to fame is producing ice nuggets akin to those at Sonic that everyone is obsessed with. Indeed, it’ll produce 38 pounds per day, and the first batch in ten minutes (or less). The Opal comes equipped with a scale-inhibiting water filter, large water tank and a system that constantly recirculates the water, so the ice is always fresh. You can control the settings using the touch screen, with options to start a cleaning cycle, see statuses, control the power and connect to wifi. For fans of chewable, crunchable ice…this is the golden ticket. 

Those who are curious about an air fryer but aren’t ready to give up the traditional toaster model will appreciate Cuisinart’s air fryer toaster oven, which provides the features in a more familiar format. Toast, convection bake, bake, convection broil, broil, grill and warm—all in addition to air-frying. The capacity is large, with the ability to toast up to six slices of bread, air fry three pounds of chicken wings, bake a 12-inch pizza or roast a four-pound chicken. Don’t be surprised if you totally ditch your traditional oven and microwave.

This food processor is Ina Garten-approved; what more do I need to say? After testing it over several days, I gave it a score of 91/100 on the PureWow 100 scale. I’ve never chopped vegetables, kneaded pie dough or grated cheese faster, and have major regrets for all the years I’ve done those tasks by hand. Besides the large capacity, the other plus is that it’s easy to clean, even if you lack a dishwasher like I do. Ms. Garten has a solid pick. 

For the people who need a coffee in the morning before they’re fully conscious and functioning, Target has the Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ for under $130. Choose from six fun colors, including red, mint and blue, and get fancy with the included one-touch Aeroccino milk frother. The coffee machine is compatible with Nespresso’s recyclable pods (there are over 40 to choose from) and will deliver you a steaming cup in minutes.

“There’s much to love about this oven, from its compact footprint to its adorable design, but I’m mostly impressed by how much use I actually get out of it,” writes PureWow Assistant Commerce Editor Natalie LaBarbera. “Not only does it eliminate the need to buy multiple appliances for each cooking method, it also saves valuable counter space—a godsend for those of us that live in small spaces. Getting into the Wonder Oven’s specific features, I really appreciate both the automatic cooking light (which saves me from burning my almost-daily French fries) and the automatic shut-off (so my anxious thoughts don't have me running back to the kitchen mid-bite to make sure I'm not burning the house down). I also found all of the cooking accessories super easy to clean (though they do need to be hand-washed), and especially love that the bake pan is made with the brand’s signature toxin- and PFA-free nonstick coating, meaning I don’t have to worry about any unwanted chemicals seeping into my food.”

When PureWow Editor-in-Chief Jillian Quint did a gut renovation of her Brooklyn kitchen, one of the first things she chose was a beautiful, sleek Café Appliances dishwasher. The brand offers the unique ability to customize a rather generic kitchen appliance without totally going bonkers on your bank account. From various hardware options to custom inserts for the top rack, lids, silverware and glassware, you can tailor the dishwasher to your needs. Built-in Wi-Fi and the compatible Smart HQ app give you the power to remotely monitor and start your dishwasher anywhere, any time—say, once you’re in the office and realize you forgot to turn it on last night. And for Black Friday 2024, it’s under $950, a serious discount from its nearly $1,400 retail price.

My first apartment after university came with an air fryer—or rather, a roommate who had an air fryer and introduced me to its glories. After we parted ways, I thought about it with surprising frequency until I finally caved and got one of my own—the Ninja Double Stack. Nearly two months later, it’s basically living on my electric stovetop full-time. Even at its full price, it’s kind of a steal, since you get two fryer baskets. I love that you can cook two different meals or foods at the same time, sync settings across baskets and have all your food finish at the same time—among many other features. The real reason I know it’s a winner? My roommates, who’ve been wary, are now starting to ask me if they can use it.

You’ve seen this all over the internet, but does it actually live up to the hype? In an episode of PureWow’s Take My Money, creator Kate Kesselman says: “I’m actually shocked. I didn’t expect this to be that good.” For her, the pros are the machine’s versatility; in addition to ice cream, you can make drinks, like smoothies and frozen margs. It’s also user-friendly and easy to clean. (Many of the parts are dishwasher safe.) If you have lots of ice cream enthusiasts in the family and/or enjoy making ice cream at home, Kesselman recommends picking one up.

So your fridge has officially gone kaput. You could just replace it…or you could spring for the Samsung Bespoke Flex, which is currently $500 off. For busy families, it becomes a centralized hub. First there’s the storage, with gallon door bins, adjustable lower right storage, flex crisper with custom temperature settings, dual ice maker and beverage center with an auto-fill water pitcher. Then, there’s the AI-powered Vision Inside feature, which will show and list the contents of your fridge, plus the door sensor that will open the refrigerator at the slightest touch. Lastly, don’t forget the 32-inch Family Hub. Through it, you stream music and videos, share photos, access recipes, control smart devices (like Google Nest) and Alexa. If multitasking in the kitchen was impossible before, it most definitely is a reality now.

Being the owner of a six-quart KitchenAid stand mixer, I get that it’s a major commitment. For starters, the thing is huge, so you can kiss your counter space or storage goodbye. And if you’re not a regular baker, it might not be worth it. However, hand mixers are compact and can still get the job done, making them a great pick for the seasonal cookie baker. KitchenAid’s nine-speed digital hand mixer includes similar attachments to its standing mixer cousin: whisk beaters, dough hooks and a whisk. Aside from the iconic cherry red, it also comes in four other colors. The Soft Start feature also eliminates the usual cloud of flour stirred up by an aggressive motor, by bringing the blades gradually up to speed.

OK, whether you’re a certified wine connoisseur or just a La Croix head, a beverage fridge is a great addition—perhaps not to your kitchen (though if you have the space, kudos to that), but maybe in a home theater or den. After all, it’s hard to beat a cold drink as you sink back into a comfortable sofa and let the Netflix binge begin. Yeego’s beverage refrigerator will squirrel away 20 (750ml) bottles and 60 (12-ounce) cans, with a digital control touch panel. It can free stand, or you can choose to build it into a cabinet.
