Amazon Prime Day kitchen deals: It's the last day to get up to 50 percent off air fryers, Instant Pots, blenders and more
Editor's note : We've been waiting to see if Ninja's Creami ice cream maker would see a good discount. Right now, a bundle with extra containers is selling for $200, but that's still well above the low of $160 we saw as recently as January. We'll continue to monitor the sale and will update this guide if the price goes lower.
Ninja Foodie Dual Zone Air Fryer (10 QT) for $160 ($70 off): This is the air fryer to pick if you've ever wished you could air fry two different things at the same time. We named it the best dual-zone air fryer you can get — it even has a feature that makes sure the two different foods are ready at the same time. This $160 price tag is the lowest price we've seen since Black Friday last year.
Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer (6 QT) for $100 ($70 off): After studious testing (and dutiful eating) our reviewers named this one the best air fryer you can buy. And, after reading that assessment, I bought one myself so I can verify this is one great machine. The Odor Ease tech really does keep the cooking smells at bay and the window lets me keep an eye on all the crisping that's going on in there.
Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer (4QT) for $65 (50 percent off with Prime): Here's a smaller version of the Instant air fryer we named best overall. It has a four-quart capacity, which is perfect for one person and small kitchens. And, like its larger sibling, pre-heats quickly.
Cosori Air Fryer 9-in-1 for $90 ($30 off): The runner up pick in our air fryer guide has a spacious cooking capacity yet takes up surprisingly little counter space. Little features like an intuitive touchscreen, a safety release button on the basket and an auto-pause feature set this cooker apart.
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro for $320 ($80 off): This is the premium pick in our air fryer guide — but really, it does far more than just air fry. As our reviewer noted, its massive cubic-foot-capacity and numerous cook modes make this more like an auxiliary oven. (It can even cook an entire 14-pound turkey.) It went on sale for $300 during last year's Black Friday sales.
Instant Vortex Plus Air Fryer (6 QT) for $100 ($70 off): After studious testing (and dutiful eating) our reviewers named this one the best air fryer you can buy. And, after reading that assessment, I bought one myself so I can verify this is one great machine. The Odor Ease tech really does keep the cooking smells at bay and the window lets me keep an eye on all the crisping that's going on in there.
Ninja Air Fryer (4 QT) for $80 ($50 off): The budget pick from our air fryer guide isn't currently on sale, but this four-quart Ninja fryer has twice the capacity and is nearly the same price. It can also roast and dehydrate in addition to air frying and reheating.
Check out our guide to air fryers to read our testing results.
Cuckoo Twin Pressure Rice Cooker for $190 ($70 off with Prime): This is the best premium rice cooker in our guide to those machines. We like how quickly it cooks all types of rice to perfection (we tested it with long-grain white basmati, brown and sushi-grade white rice). Just keep in mind that it can be a little difficult to clean and the manual isn't the most user-friendly.
Hamilton Beach Digital Programmable Rice Cooker for $40 ($10 off with Prime): Our top pick for a budget rice cooker is on sale for Prime members. The brown rice came out particularly good in our tests and the cooker is easy to clean with a dishwasher-safe cooker pot and steamer basket. Just note that it's pretty small and doesn't have the granular controls of pricer models.
Ooni Volt 12 Electric Indoor Pizza Oven for $630 ($270 off) from Ooni: Note: This deal has expired at Amazon , but is still available directly from Ooni . The Volt 12 is our pick for the best indoor pizza oven — but it can be used outdoors as well thanks to its weather-resistant design. It has front-mounted controls that let you individually control the upper and lower heating elements and it can get up to 850 degrees Fahrenheit in as little as 20 minutes.
Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker (bundle) for $200 ($30 off): We said this machine 'makes your frozen dreams come true.' It's easy to use and makes thick, dense ice cream with flavors that are more intense and textures that are smoother than rival ice cream makers. Plus most of the parts are machine washable or easily rinsed. This bundle comes with extra containers and is the lowest price we've seen in a few months, but note that the Creami sold for $160 as recently as January.
Breville Joule Turbo Sous Vide Machine for $200 ($50 off): The premium pick in our guide to sous vice machines has a powerful 1,100-watt heater that cuts down on cooking times. It also uses your phone as the controller (just don't get it if you're hoping for on-device buttons).
Anova Sous Vide Cooker 3.0 for $138 (40 percent off): Our top pick for a sous vide machine delivers 1,100 watts of power and a flow rate of eight liters per minute which will get your water up to the right temperature faster. It also has intuitive digital touch controls and Wi-Fi connectivity.
Breville Juice Fountain Plus for $120 ($60 off with Prime): The extraction abilities on this machine are impressive. Plus we found it relatively easy to clean (as long as you do it right after you juice). It takes up a good amount of space, but can extract an impressive amount of juice from even the driest-seeming carrot. This is the lowest price in a while, but it went down to $110 in January.
KitchenAid Classic Series (4.5 QT) for $300 ($50 off): Prime Day and Black Friday sales are usually the best times to snag Kitchen Aid's iconic mixers — unfortunately, this discount isn't even as good as the $250 it sold for in May. Still you can save $50 on a classic appliance that we recommend in our guide to essential kitchen gadgets. These mixers are durable, reliable and, with the wide range of attachments, can truly expand your cooking arsenal.
Vitamix 5200 Blender Professional-Grade for $350 ($150 off with Prime): I can personally attest to the nearly magical abilities of Vitamix blenders. It can make chunky salsas, smooth-as-silk soups and smoothies in which the chia and hemp seeds seem to disappear into the fruit. This pro-grade model is down to the lowest price we've tracked this year.
KitchenAid Variable Speed Corded Hand Blender for $55 ($15 off): We recommend the cordless version of this immersion blender in our guide to those appliances. This corded version has the same variable speed trigger which makes it easy to control your recipes. Note that this sold for $5 less as recently as May.
Vitamix E310 Explorian Blender for $330 ($50 off): Note that we've seen this go for as little as $255 in past sales, and it dropped to $300 as recently as May. But this is still a decent $50 discount on a blender that will make any food you put in it smooth. We recommend it in our guide to the best kitchen tech.
Fellow Stagg EKG Pro electric kettle for $160 ($35 off with Prime) : This exquisitely designed kettle has an LCD panel built into the base so you can choose a specific temperature down to the degree. And the hold feature keeps water hot for up to an hour. I bought this after reading our tea guide and have appreciated the steady pour every morning since. You'll likely only see the sale price if you're a Prime member.
Mannkitchen Pepper Cannon for $160 ($40 off) : Not everyone needs a super expensive pepper mill. But it nonetheless became one of our reviewer's favorite pieces of kitchen gear . A side-by-side comparison showed us just how much more pepper came out of the cannon compared to a standard store-bought mill.
Instant Pot Duo Plus 9-in-1 (6 QT) for $70 ($70 off) : Perhaps you know someone who has somehow gotten this far in life without owning an Instant Pot — perhaps that someone is you. Amazon's Prime Day is a golden opportunity to remedy that. We named it the best multi-cooker you can buy in our guide to kitchen tech.

Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro Review: This security camera doubles as a smart home hub - and does both well
Resolution: 1520 x 2688Field of view: 133 degrees diagonalSize: 2.78 inches (width), 2.78 inches (height), and 3.50 inches (depth) not including standWireless: 2.4GHz/5GHz Wi-Fi (Wi-Fi model), Ethernet 802.3af (PoE model), Zigbee, Thread, BluetoothWorks with: Apple HomeKit (including HomeKit Secure Video), Alexa, Google Assistant, Samsung SmartThings, RTSP The smart home has gotten a whole lot smarter and easier to use over the past few years, especially with the advent of standards like Matter and Thread. But with the new standards comes the need for new hardware that ties everything together – and the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro does just that. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro, of course, can't skirt by on just being a smart home hub. As a home security camera, it also has to capture crisp and detailed footage. Is the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro really the complete package or does it make compromises? The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro comes at $199.99 for the power-over-ethernet (PoE) model, or for $179.99 for the Wi-Fi model. It comes in white or gray, and it's available straight from the Aqara website, or through Amazon. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro has a ton of smart tech built into it, and as such, you wouldn't expect it to necessarily be ultra-compact. That said, while it's definitely larger than some smart home security cameras, such as the ultra-compact Wyze Cam v4, it isn't overly bulky and doesn't draw too much attention to itself. The camera has a white body with a black front that houses the camera sensor and the built-in spotlight. It can be wall-mounted or ceiling-mounted using hardware included in the box, or simply placed on a table and angled properly using the stand built onto the bottom of the camera. The back of the device can be removed to reveal a reset button and 1/4" screw hole for mounting. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro actually comes in two different models, one that's powered by USB-C and connects over Wi-Fi, and one that supports power over Ethernet. We're reviewing the Wi-Fi model, and it has a USB-C port on the bottom, towards the back. The camera is weather-proof too, supporting an operating temperature of between -22°F and 122°F and a water resistance rating of IP65. Essentially, it can be used both indoors and outdoors, making it more versatile than some others – though keep in mind that it requires power to function, so you'll need to run a cable of some kind to it, whether it be the USB-C cable for the Wi-Fi model, or the ethernet cable for the PoE model. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro may not have a 4K resolution like some modern security cameras, but it still captures a detailed and crisp image with relatively natural colors. The camera can capture video at a resolution of 1520 x 2688, with a 133-degree diagonal field-of-view. That isn't as wide as the Arlo Wired Floodlight Camera, which has a 160-degree field-of-view, but it should suffice for indoor use. If you need the camera to capture a wide area, you might need to look elsewhere. I was, however, particularly impressed with the camera's dynamic range. I mostly used it indoors in my living room, which has a few windows. Other cameras, like the Eufy Cam 2C Pro that I reviewed, usually completely blow out the highlights, essentially making my windows look like big white squares. The Camera Hub G5 Pro was at least able to capture some of the detail outside of the windows. The G5 Pro has a spotlight built into it for color night vision recording. Thankfully, the spotlight is relatively powerful, which is important, as the camera doesn't support black and white infrared-based night vision at all. In other words, if you want to capture what's happening in low light, you'll have to rely on the spotlight. That will immediately disqualify this camera for users who don't want the bright spotlight to light up in any low light setting. Aqara also doesn't make it very easy to set the camera to only turn the spotlight on when motion is detected – for that, you'll have to create an automation. You should be able to do so through a simple toggle. Thankfully, it did seem to be relatively responsive to motion, initiating recording quickly after movement to ensure as much footage as possible was captured. Even smaller movements from my cat triggered recording, which isn't always the case with security cameras. Part of this is likely thanks to the camera's support for continuous recording – it's possible it detects motion, and then labels 'events' as starting a few seconds before it actually detected the motion. Regardless of how it works, it works well. The audio quality was good too. The speaker built into the camera played my voice relatively loudly, and made it easy to hear anything I said. And, the microphone picked up voices well too, playing clearly through my phone's speaker. Audio quality is often overlooked, but that wasn't the case here. The camera is packed with smart object recognition and recording features, with the ability to detect all different kinds of objects and use that information to inform notifications. It has facial recognition, vehicle recognition, package detection, animal detection, and even lens obstruction detection to ensure you're notified if the camera's view is being blocked. Additionally, there are audio-based notifications too. It sent me a notification that there was a baby crying when it heard my one-year-old (as if her crying while I was holding her wasn't notification enough), even when the crying was downstairs, in a bedroom, with the camera upstairs in the living room. All of these object- and audio-recognition tools seemed to be accurate. They were easy to set up too. Enabling the package detection feature involves setting an area for detection, however it was easy to select that area on a grid, and when enabled, it worked very quickly. I enabled package detection despite the camera being mainly used in my living room, and got a notification of a package within three seconds of placing a box in the pre-set package motion zone. Even better is the fact that these features are processed locally, on-device – so you don't have to pay a subscription fee to access them. That's pretty handy. The Aqara app has gotten quite a bit better over the years. It's relatively easy to navigate now, especially as it relates to the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro. The home screen of the app shows an overview of all your connected devices, and you can customize this screen to show a player with a live feed of footage. Tapping on the camera will allow you to see a live feed of the camera and control any top-line settings, all from one screen. Within that view, you'll get a tab at the bottom to view a timeline of recordings, and you can tap the three-dot menu button on the top right to access additional settings and features. Other features include those you would expect, including the ability to set zones and sensitivity. Unfortunately, you have to set motion zones for each detection type – be it vehicle detection, package detection, and so on. While this is a neat idea for those who want to set different zones for different object types, you should be able to set global motion zones too. Despite the fact that the camera offers a huge range of features and settings, they're organized well, and most shouldn't find it too hard to access the settings they're trying to tweak. That said, I do recommend going over all the settings when you first set the camera up, to ensure that it's set up in the exact way that you want it to work. My biggest complaint with the app, however, is how it handles recorded footage. Tapping on the timeline tab will show you a timeline of events, and you can view footage from those events from the app. Unfortunately, however, it's difficult to download those recordings to your phone. Instead, you have to hit the 'Record' button and watch the footage in real-time – after which the app will download what you 'recorded' to your device. Considering the fact that footage was already recorded, I'm not sure why that's necessary. While the image quality offered by the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is good, image quality is only one piece of the promise of this particular product. The other, of course, is smart home compatibility. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro can function as a Matter controller, meaning that it can be one of the devices that communicates with other Matter products in your smart home. Not only that, but it also works as a Thread border router. This means that it can communicate with Thread-based devices in your home to help build a thread mesh network for a smart home that's as responsive as possible. Matter can work over a number of standards, including Wi-Fi and Thread, but if all the devices in your smart home support Thread, they can all exist as part of a mesh network. And, on top of Matter and Thread, the G5 Pro can function as a Zigbee hub. What does it mean for the G5 Pro to be a 'hub' for all of these standards? Well, for example, your phone can't connect with Zigbee devices on its own – it has to communicate with a hub, which then sends commands to Zigbee devices. As a hub for these standards, all of the Matter, Thread, and Zigbee devices in your home can connect to the G5 Pro, allowing you to control them from the Aqara app, even when you're not at home. And, as a Matter hub, you can scan that Matter code on the G5 Pro to bring all of the Zigbee devices connected to the G5 Pro into other Matter ecosystems, like Apple Home. You might already have Matter hubs and Thread border routers in your home – but what the G5 Pro offers is the ability for one to be placed outdoors. The camera can be used both indoors and outdoors, but if you use it outdoors, it'll provide a more reliable and more stable connection point for any other nearby Matter, Thread, or Zigbee devices. As a hub for all of these standards, you'll be able to add your smart home devices through the Aqara app, controlling them all within one interface. Now, however, things might start to get a little more confusing. In the Matter standard, you have Matter controllers, and Matter devices. Matter controllers serve as the connection point between you and your Matter devices – but the Matter spec doesn't actually support security cameras yet. In other words, while you can use the G5 Pro as a Matter hub, you can't connect its camera as a Matter device within your existing smart home. That's why Aqara touts the G5 Pro as supporting Apple HomeKit, Google Home, Alexa, and so on – without those individual connections, you wouldn't simply be able to add the camera to your smart home. On top of basic HomeKit support, the G5 Pro also supports HomeKit Secure Video. Apple HomeKit only supports a video resolution of up to 1080p, which is a little frustrating in 2025. That said, even when the camera is connected to HomeKit Secure Video, you can still record and view 1520p footage in the Aqara app. That's unlike some other HomeKit-compatible cameras – when the Eufy 2C Pro is connected to HomeKit Secure Video, it only records 1080p footage, despite being a 2K camera that can record in 2K when it's not connected to HomeKit. Lastly, the Camera Hub G5 Pro supports Real-Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP). That means you can use it as a simple IP camera, streaming to smart home clients like Home Assistant. The basic gist of smart home compatibility with the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is that it supports all major smart home ecosystems and can serve as the central brain of your smart home if you want it to. If you want to use it with another ecosystem, however, you'll still want to use the Aqara app to set the camera up and tweak advanced settings. Unlike many other modern security cameras, the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro offers a number of ways for you to store footage. For starters, it has either 8GB or 32GB of storage built right into it, and when it runs out of storage, it'll overwrite the oldest footage first. On top of that, it also supports Network Attached Storage, or NAS, for expanded storage. And, with its HomeKit Secure Video support, you can store recorded footage in your iCloud account – though keep in mind that HomeKit footage is stored in 1080p. Of course, Aqara has its own cloud storage service too, though you don't have to subscribe to get some cloud features. Without a subscription, you'll still be able to store a day of footage at a 360p resolution, though that's obviously relatively low. If you upgrade to the Aqara HomeGuardian service, you'll get 90 days of video history at up to a 2K resolution, along with additional features like continuous recording, daily snapshots, and notifications over SMS or email. For one camera, the service costs $6.99 per month or $83.88 per year – however, at the time of this writing, you could get it discounted at a rate of $4.99 per month or $49.99 per year. For unlimited cameras, you'll pay $14.99 per month or $179.88 per year – however, again I saw a discount that brought it down to $9.99 per month or $99.99 per year. If you're not sure if you want to use the service, Aqara offers a 14-day free trial, which is a solid amount of time to try out the service. A 7-day trial is common, so it's nice to see the ability to get a longer trial. Few security cameras are as versatile as the Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro. I have no major complaints with the camera; sure, it's difficult to save recorded footage, but you can get around that, and it could be fixed with a software update down the line. The Aqara Camera Hub G5 Pro is much more versatile than almost anything else on the market, doing away with the idea of supporting one ecosystem really well or mainly prioritizing first-party features, in favor of supporting all ecosystems as well as possible, with the flexibility of local storage and the ability to serve as a Matter bridge and Thread border router.

GoPro HERO12 Action Camera Now Cheaper Than Black Friday, Amazon Could Be Making Room for New Gear
If you have ever tried to film a bike ride or a kid's soccer game with a phone, you know how fast shaky clips can ruin a good moment. The GoPro HERO12 Black is built for those times when life moves fast and you still want a clean, steady shot. It is small enough to live in a jacket pocket, tough enough to ride on a helmet, and simple enough that you can press one button and start recording before the action gets away. Head over to Amazon to get the GoPro HERO12 Black for just $280, down from its usual price of $370. That's a discount of $90 and 25% off. See at Amazon What makes this camera special is how easy it is to get great video without babysitting settings. HyperSmooth stabilization keeps footage steady when the trail gets bumpy or the dog pulls on the leash. The camera records up to 5.3K video with crisp detail, or you can drop to 4K for silky slow motion that turns cannonballs and skateboard flips into highlight moments. Photos look sharp too, and the wide field of view fits more friends, more skyline, and more scenery into every frame. The body is waterproof down to about 33 feet with no housing, so pool days and rainy hikes are not a problem. A scratch resistant lens cover helps protect the glass, and built in mounting fingers pop out from the bottom so you can snap onto a chest mount, a handlebar clamp, or a suction cup in seconds. The front screen is handy for framing selfies or vlog clips, while the rear touch display makes menus feel familiar if you are used to a phone. Battery life gets a boost from the included Enduro battery. It handles cold weather better than older packs and helps the camera record longer between charges. When it is time to plug in, a quick top up gets you back outside fast. If you want to travel light, a small USB power bank in your pocket can keep the camera going during a long day. Little quality of life touches round it out. Voice control lets you start recording with your hands full. Horizon leveling keeps the horizon straight even if you tilt the camera. The GoPro Quik app makes it easy to pull clips to your phone, trim a reel, and post before your friends ask for the footage. If you want a tiny camera that makes action look good with minimal fuss, this one earns its spot in the bag. The GoPro HERO12 Black is still available for $280 at Amazon, a strong savings compared with the regular $370 price. See at Amazon
