The 43 Best Cyber Monday Kitchen Deals, Hand-Picked by Our Kitchen Experts

We don’t always look forward to Mondays, but Cyber Monday is an exception. Today, there are literally thousands of discounts on kitchen items. This begs the question: How do you know what Cyber Monday kitchen deals are actually worthwhile? The answer: us! We put in the work, sorting through pages and pages (and pages) of sales to find the best Cyber Monday deals on our favorite kitchen gear, all of which have won our equipment reviews.

Below, you’ll find 43 of our top tried-and-true picks—many of which our editors also own. These include the best Breville espresso machine, our favorite (affordable!) waffle maker, and the Vitamix blender we’ve recommended for a decade. 

The Best Espresso Machine: Breville Bambino Plus Espresso Machine

The Bambino Plus makes it very easy to make great coffee, which is one of the reasons we’ve recommended this espresso machine for several years. The Bambino Plus even has a steam wand that makes fine enough microfoam for lattes, cappuccinos, and latte art. Right now, it’s a rare $100 off. You can find more of our favorite Breville deals here. 

The Best Coffee Grinder for Most People: OXO Conical Burr Coffee Grinder

This is one of our longtime favorite coffee grinders. Not only is it simple to adjust (just twist the top to switch between one of its 15 settings), but it has a single start/stop button and grinds coffee consistently. You can snag it for on rare sale for Cyber Monday. It's truly the lowest price we've seen it go for.

The Best Vitamix Blender: Vitamix 5200 Professional-Grade Blender

We’ve recommended this Vitamix blender for more than a decade—it’s that powerful. Its tapered jar blends, blitzes, and purees anything and its control panel is wonderfully straightforward, featuring just a couple of switches and a dial. We get excited any time we see it below $400—and this sale is well south of that.

The Best Budget Pasta Bowls: Y YHY Pasta Bowls

Everyone needs a set of pasta bowls that keep noodles well insulated and are the perfect size for heaps of spaghetti, bucatini, and rigatoni. These bowls did well in our tests—and we were impressed by how sleek they were given their low price (they come in a set of six). For Cyber Monday, they’re nearly 50% off.

One of the Best Immersion Blenders: Vitamix Immersion Blender

This immersion blender can blast through even the toughest, most fibrous ingredients. Its tapered head also twists on and off easily and it has variable speeds that can easily be adjusted with just your thumb. For Cyber Monday, you can snag the three-piece set (which also includes a whisk and carrying case) for 35% off.

The Best Espresso Machine for Beginners: Breville Barista Express Impress

This is one of our other favorite espresso machines—and our pick for beginners. The Express Impress really couldn't be easier to use thanks to its built-in grinder and tamping arm. It even has a smiley face that illuminates when the grind amount is correct. Right now, this Breville espresso machine is $250 off.

The Best Instant Pot: Instant Pot Pro Pressure Cooker

This Instant Pot makes pressure cooking as easy as possible. We love its pressure release switch and the handles on its cooking pot that keep it from swirling around when you stir. (They also make it easy to lift out of the base.) For Cyber Monday, the Pro is on sale for under $100.

The Best Instant-Read Thermometer: ThermoWorks Thermapen ONE

Every cook should have an instant-read thermometer for roasting meats, checking on baked goods, making sure fry oil is at the right temperature—the list goes on. The absolute best thermometer is the Thermapen ONE. Its response time is lightning-fast, it has a folding probe, and it has tons of features, including an automatic backlight. 

The Best Air Fryer Toaster Oven: Breville the Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro

This sizable air fryer toaster oven blew away the competition when we tested it against 11 other models. I made the crispiest food and we loved its well-labeled digital control panel and smooth-turning knobs. It’s $100 off right now.

The Best Waffle Maker: Cuisinart Double Flip Belgian Waffle Maker

This has been our favorite waffle maker for six years—and its price never budges. It makes very fluffy waffles (you can even make two at once) and it heats and reheats quickly. There’s a drip plate underneath that catches batter, too. Really, it’s just a superb waffle maker for the price. 

The Best Cast Iron Skillet: Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Skillet

You just can't beat this cast iron skillet. It's cheap. It works exceptionally well. It will literally last a lifetime. It's been our top pick for years.

The Best Budget Steak Knives: Material The Table Knives

Not only do these steak knives slice through meat like butter, but they come with a wooden block for storage. We love their colorful, matte handles, too.

A Super Powerful Sous Vide Machine: Anova Culinary Precision Cooker Pro

This sous vide machine is 50% off right now. Not only is it one of our top picks, but it heats water quickly, maintains accurate temperatures, and features onboard controls and an app. We particularly like its extra-large, easy-to-read control panel.

A Longtime Favorite Dutch Oven: Staub Enameled Cast Iron Round Dutch Oven

This Dutch oven has been one of our top picks for many, many years. Not only does it brown food beautifully, but it's endlessly versatile and its black, enameled interior resists showing staining and scratching. For Cyber Monday, many hues of the 7-quart pot are deeply discounted.

One of the Best Stand Mixers: KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer

Unless you’re planning on doing heavy bread baking, this stand mixer is a great pick. The tilt-head makes it easy to add ingredients and scrape down the sides of the mixing bowl. Many of the Artisan’s colors—including Pistachio and Blue Velvet—are nearly 30% off for Cyber Monday. (Our favorite bowl-lift stand mixer is also on sale.)

A Great, Bowl-Lift KitchenAid Stand Mixer: KitchenAid Bowl-Lift 5.5-Quart Stand Mixer

While this isn't identical to our top pick, this on-sale KitchenAid stand mixer is absolutely worth buying—especially at this price. It features a bowl-lift and can tackle sticky, tough doughs without wobbling.

The Best Microwave: Toshiba Microwave Oven

Is a new microwave the most exciting Cyber Monday purchase? Maybe not, but nothing will heat up leftovers or melt butter faster. In our tests, we were impressed by the Toshiba's even heating.

The Best Meat Grinder: KitchenAid Metal Food Grinder

This meat grinder ground beef and pork and stuffed sausage well in our tests…and it’s 25% off. We highly recommend this metal meat grinder over the brand’s plastic version. The metal one can be chilled for optimal grinding.

One of the Best Food Processors: Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor

This is the simplest, best-priced food processor you can buy. It has just two controls and comes with discs for slicing and shredding. We’ve recommended this Cuisinart for many years and, right now, it’s $50 off.

The Best Soda Maker: SodaStream Art

Not only does this soda maker make the bubbliest water, but it looks good doing it. In our tests, we found it held its carbonation overnight and appreciated that its CO2 canister loading system is at the back, not the bottom, so there’s no need to turn the soda maker on its side. Today, it’s about 30% off.

A Very Durable Drip Coffee Maker: Technivorm KBT Coffee Brewer

Some coffee makers bite the dust in just a couple of years. This Technivorm is not one of them. It’s handmade in the Netherlands and features a durable stainless steel body and a removable, easy-to-clean spray head. It makes great coffee, too.

The Best Budget Wok: Joyce Chen Carbon Steel Wok

This is the lowest price we’ve seen one of our favorite carbon steel woks go for. Not only does it season quickly (it was the only wok eggs didn’t stick to in our test), but it has wooden handles that stay cool to the touch.

A Toaster Oven for Perfect Toast: Balmuda Steam Oven Toaster

If you want a toaster oven for just toast (or reheating pastries or pizza), you’ll like the Balmuda. This compact model comes with a tiny cup for adding water, which the oven uses to create steam. It can brown bread perfectly and revive even the driest croissant. 

The Best Vacuum Sealer: Anova Culinary Precision Vacuum Sealer

A good vacuum sealer will remove every bit of air from a bag—a must for sous vide or food storage. (Freezer burn? No thank you.) We like the Anova Pro’s built-in bag storage and bag cutter and that it has no refractory period, so you can seal bags back-to-back.

The Best Budget Dutch Oven: Lodge Enameled Dutch Oven

This Dutch oven sears well, heats up quickly, and has wide, looped handles—and it’s a fraction of the price of heritage brands. It’s a great pot for beginner cooks or someone looking for an inexpensive Duch oven for baking bread.

The Best Stainless Steel Skillet: Made In Stainless Clad Frying Pan

This has been our favorite stainless steel skillet for many years. It browns food well. It’s responsive to temperature changes. It has a nice handle. Right now, both the 10- and 12-inch sizes are on sale. 

One of the Best Roasting Pans: All-Clad Stainless Steel Flared Roasting Pan with Rack

We know Thanksgiving’s past, but it’s never too early to get a roasting pan. You can use it for roast chickens year-round, after all. In our tests, the All-Clad heated evenly, had a spacious rack, and allowed us to easily make a pan sauce on the stovetop after roasting. 

The Best Outdoor Pizza Oven: Ooni Koda 16 Pizza Oven

Thanks to this pizza oven’s L-shaped flame, pies get beautifully browned—fast. In our tests, we found the Koda 16 cooked pizzas in one to two minutes. We also appreciate its foldable legs and easy-to-operate temperature dial found on the side of the oven. Right now, it’s more than $100 off for Cyber Monday.

One of the Best Grill Pans: Staub Enameled Cast Iron Grill Pan

This grill pan created nice grill marks in our tests, thanks to its high ridges that kept food above grease. We also liked its cast iron construction, which held onto heat well and led to superior browning (a boon for burgers!). 

The Best Anti-Fatigue Mat: The House of Noa Nama Standing Mat

Several Serious Eats editors have these anti-fatigue mats in their kitchens. The mat is so plush (it feels like gummy bears!) that it even makes washing dishes less of a pain. Today, it’s 25% off with code VIP25.

The Best Air Fryer: Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer

This air fryer has been our top pick for a couple of years now. It cooks faster than any other air fryer we’ve tried and we like its responsive touchscreen and dial controls.

The Best Nespresso Machine: Nespresso Vertuo Plus Coffee and Espresso Maker

The Best Handheld Coffee Grinder: 1Zpresso Manual Coffee Grinder

Our favorite handheld coffee grinder quickly grinds beans with a quality that matches the best burr grinders. We actually found it worked about 50% faster than the other models we tested.

These kitchen towels are incredibly absorbent and thick enough to be used as potholders. They’re now on sale for a little under $2 a towel.

An Excellent Milk Frother: Instant Electric Milk Frother

This milk frother can froth hot and cold foam and worked well with dairy and plant-based milk in our tests. For Cyber Monday, it’s a whopping 50% off.

A Good, Smaller Blender: Vitamix Explorian Blender

This compact Vitamix will work great for less heavy-duty blending tasks, like smoothies, sauces, and small-batch soups. Like our favorite Vitamix (the 5200), the Explorian has simple, easy-to-understand controls. Right now, this renewed model is more than $100 off. (And, yes, a refurbished Vitamix is worth buying from an accredited program!)

One of Our Favorite Personal Blenders: Nutribullet Ultra Personal Blender

If you only want a blender for smoothies, a personal-sized one is a great option. One of our top picks is nearly 50% off for Cyber Monday and comes with a few blending cups.

A Fancy Rice Cooker: KitchenAid Grain and Rice Cooker

Not only is this a great rice cooker, but it can also cook beans and other grains. It has smart features, like a digital screen and the ability to dispense water based on the amount of rice in its pot.

One of the Best Pasta Makers: Antree Pasta Maker Attachment

If you have a KitchenAid stand mixer, this pasta maker attachment will make quick work of rolling out and cutting dough. It has two cutters in one unit, which makes it easier to store.

We happen to know that we recently tested espresso cups and these are one of our top picks. They come with saucers and a stand that allows them to stack for easy, compact storage,

A Really Great Fire Pit: Solo Stove Bonfire

This smokeless fire pit burns efficiently and slowly, putting out a whopping amount of heat. You can also buy grilling accessories, which we've tested. The colorful options are especially fun (and are also on sale).

The Best French Press: Fellow Clara French Press

Our favorite French press features unbeatable insulation, a weighted handle for smooth pouring, and a wooden spoon for mixing the coffee's crust mid-brewing.

A Great Nonstick Skillet: Tramontina 10-Inch Professional Nonstick Restaurant Fry Pan

This nonstick skillet has a slick surface that nothin' will stick to. In our tests, we liked its padded handle with a removable cover that provided a non-slip grip. For Cyber Monday, it's about 50% off.
