Amazon Deals of the Day: Take 35% Off This Already Affordable and Portable Anker Speaker
Amazon sells a vast array of products, with new ones arriving daily across many categories, including home essentials, tech gear and furniture. As much as the retail giant loves adding new products, Amazon also loves cutting prices. Deciding which offers are worth grabbing (and which aren't) is a full-time job -- our job, specifically. That's why we scope out the top deals for you. Today, we found the Anker Soundcore 2 speaker for over 30% off. We also found the Bostitch electric pencil sharpener for almost half off, perfect for back to school. And finally, we spotted the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer for a nice $120 off. Having a portable speaker can make a world of difference, especially during the summer. Whether you're going to the beach, having a cookout or even just doing chores at home, it's always more fun with some music. Anker's SoundCore 2 is a popular mini Bluetooth speaker, and loved by many at CNET. The Anker SoundCore 2 gives you better than average sound, is water-resistant and has strong battery life of up to 24 hours. There's also a built-in microphone for speakerphone calls. It also has a pretty good range of up to 66 feet, so you don't necessarily have to move it from room to room to stay connected. This speaker is normally listed at $45, which is already an affordable price for a solid Bluetooth speaker. But right now, Prime members can score one for just $29, a nice 35% discount or $16 savings. Keep in mind, this deal is only for the black color and only available to Prime members. Unfortunately for many, back-to-school season is already on the horizon. Even though most schools use iPads and laptops for the majority of things, it doesn't mean we're done with pencils completely. Whether you're a teacher or a student, having a pencil sharpener is very handy. And one that's electric is a real game changer. Bostitch electric pencil sharpener is compact enough to fit on your desk. It's made with an HHC cutter, giving you four times longer cutting life sharpening. There's also a safety switch for those working with younger students. Plus the shavings tray is pretty big, so you don't have to constantly clean it out. This pencil sharpener is usually priced at $20. But this almost half-off discount saves you $9, brining the price to just $11. It's the perfect back-to-school addition, and it's at a record-low price right now. No kitchen is complete without a stand mixer. There are tons of options out there but our top pick stand mixer of 2025 is the KitchenAid Artisan Series 5-quart tilt head stand mixer. It has 10 settings that you can pick from based on what your needs are. It can hold five-quarts of ingredients, perfect for making a large quantity.

KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer review: A multi-tasking hero that's still a cult classic
The products or services listed have been independently tested by our journalists. We will earn a commission from the affiliate links in this article. Score: 10/10 We like: Extremely versatile with over 15 additional attachments available Delivers consistent results whether whipping cream or kneading dough Timeless design available in a range of colourways to match any kitchen Easy-to clean with dishwasher-safe parts Weighty base ensures stability (even when mixing tougher doughs) We don't like: Bulky and heavy if frequently moving or storing Additional attachments can be expensive What is the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer? The KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer is one of the most recognisable appliances in British kitchens, with good reason. This classic tilt-head model has remained almost unchanged in silhouette since 1937. Priced from £449, the stand mixer is at the luxury end of the market, going head-to-head with high-spec models from brands like Ooni, Sage and Smeg. But few rivals match its blend of design heritage, solid engineering and versatility. The Artisan's capacity ranges from 4.7 litre stainless steel bowl to 6.6 litre, with three essential attachments for baking: wire whisk, flat beater and dough hook. The larger capacity models have a bowl lift function and are better suited for making multiple batches of dough or cake mix or feeding larger groups. But its real edge lies in the front-mounted power hub which can be used with more than 15 accessories from pasta rollers to food processors, helping to streamline practically every stage of food prep. So much so, that it continues to hold the coveted crown of Best Buy stand mixer in our 2025 guide. JUMP TO: How we test stand mixers I'm a food writer and contributed to the best stand mixers guide. To find the model worthy of Star Baker status we used each stand mixer in a real world setting rather than a pristine lab. I tested the KitchenAid 4.8L Artisan stand mixer, which has the classic tilt head function, in (an often chaotic, flour-covered) home kitchen with real recipes. Over the course of a month I made (and tasted) a range of typical bakes including Victoria sponge, sourdough, soft peaked meringue and Neopolitan-style pizza dough to assess it against five key criteria: design, ease of use, functionality, quality of results and ease of cleaning. I examined whether the machine felt intuitive or fiddly, how well it handled switching speeds and tools mid-mix, and how easy it was to switch out the attachments. Design and footprint were also carefully considered - was it easy to lift and store? Did it demand plenty of countertop space, or stow neatly away under cabinets? Finally, cleaning: I noted which parts were dishwasher-safe and how flour or dough could be removed from tricky areas.

All opinions are based on independent expert opinion and our hands-on testing. Visit our Who We Are page to learn more. Design and build Score: 10/10 With its retro curves and broad range of colourways, this stand mixer is as much a design statement as a kitchen tool. The 4.8 litre model weighs 10.4kg (meaning it won't budge under heavier dough loads), and it's not for storing in tight cupboards or under low wall units. It's built to live on the counter and to look good while doing so. The controls are satisfyingly tactile and well-marked. It has a simple side lever, a front hub cover for attachments and smooth tilt-head action. While we can't predict the future, the Artisan certainly feels as though it will be the talking point of kitchens for years to come. Score: 10/10 Despite its professional pedigree, the KitchenAid Artisan is largely fuss-free to operate. There are no screens, apps or menus, just one sliding speed control, one tilt-head release that clicks reassuringly into place and one hub for attachments, which all feel intuitive to use. First-time users might take a moment to get to grips with how the bowl locks in place or the attachments twist to click on, but once that's mastered it's easy. One minor limitation for smaller kitchens or those with wall cabinets is that the unit's 36cm height means you'll need enough overhead clearance to be able to tilt it properly, but if you can accommodate it then the Artisan is a joy to use. It is old-school in the best way - mechanical, consistent and uncomplicated. Variety of attachments and functions Score: 10/10 The speed settings range between one and 10, giving ample scope to tailor its power to your recipe. In the box, you get all the essentials to power through baking tasks too: a flat beater, dough hook, wire whisk and 4.8 litre stainless steel bowl. But the Artisan's real appeal lies in its wider versatility. The universal hub lets you use more than 15 optional attachments, from a citrus juicer to ice shaver, making it a multifunctional marvel. That said, these accessories come at a price (typically between £70 and £150), but its modularity makes it an incredibly expandable tool for committed home cooks looking to streamline their kitchen arsenal. Quality of results Score: 9/10 The Artisan might not boast the wattage of some competitors (300W certainly sounds modest on paper), but thanks to its motor design and planetary mixing action, where the tool itself rotates as it also circles the bowl, it performs beautifully under pressure. Whether making cake batter, whipping meringue or kneading focaccia dough, the Artisan delivers consistent results without straining, overheating or requiring manual intervention. Every part of the bowl gets equal attention, there's no under- or overworked spots here. It is surprisingly quiet in use, too. During my tests, a triple-layer Victoria sponge came out light and perfectly aerated; pasta dough proved with a smooth, elastic finish; and egg whites peaked in under three minutes. The standard flat beater occasionally left a trace of unmixed flour along the edges, but a quick scrape mid-mix solved this. It's a dependable go-to. Clean-up Score: 9/10 The curved body and smooth finish make light work of clean-up, even after a flour storm or batter spill. I loved the wipe-clean surface when trying to banish pancake mix and stuck on sourdough. The tilt-head design also helps minimise fuss when cleaning the surrounding surfaces, with no awkward grooves, fiddly nooks or hard-to-reach corners. Better yet, the included attachments and bowl are all dishwasher safe, meaning less time in your Marigolds (though some extras, especially those with gears, may require hand washing, so be sure to check beforehand). Technical specifications We've set the KitchenAid Artisan 4.8L Stand Mixer against one of its closest competitors in the UK market: the Kenwood kMix KMX754. Both are aimed at keen home bakers, but where KitchenAid leans into design heritage and upgrade potential, the Kenwood makes a case for greater power and capacity at a keener price. Should you buy the KitchenAid Artisan stand mixer? If you're seeking a multi-functional stand mixer that'll be with you for years to come, the KitchenAid Artisan is hard to beat. Its reliable performance across baking tasks is unmatched, its build quality strikingly solid and it offers endless potential to upgrade via its power hub (if you can justify the cost of additional attachments, that is). Yes, if: You want a long-lasting, versatile machine that deserves to be seen on the counter You're a keen baker who values expandability and classic design No, if: £449 Buy now Price at Amazon KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer FAQs What are the differences between the available KitchenAid Artisan models? The main differences are in bowl size, power and design. The 4.8L is standard and has a head which tilts back for putting the bowl in place; the 5.6L and 6.6L have more power (375W) and a bowl-lift mechanism, whereby the bowl slides in and is raised closer to the mixing tools instead. What comes in the box with a KitchenAid Artisan Stand Mixer? A 4.8-litre stainless steel bowl, flat beater, wire whisk and dough hook. Is the KitchenAid Artisan powerful enough for making bread dough? Yes, the 300W direct-drive motor handles up to 1kg flour doughs easily. For extra-large batches, consider the 5.6-litre or 6.9-litre model.

KitchenAid's latest induction cooktop just landed — and it offers the greatest temperature precision yet
Induction cooking is well known for its temperature precision and responsive performance, but now KitchenAid has raised the stakes in temperature accuracy. The brand is known primarily for its success with the best stand mixers (the KitchenAid Artisan is my top preference) but has just launched its latest induction cooktop. KitchenAid's Temp Cook Induction Cooktop boasts five cooking zones and exact temperature control from 120°F to 400°F — far beyond using standard low, medium, and high cooking settings. But, just like any induction cooktop, it's not cheap. It's available in two sizes, starting at $2,749 for the 30-inch model and $2,949 for the 36-inch version, direct from KitchenAid, but you can also purchase the Temp Cook Induction Cooktop from other leading retailers, including A. J. Madison, where you can already save 23% on the 30-inch model for $2,098; and 25% on the 36-inch model for $2,198. Apart from offering precise temperature control, KitchenAid's latest induction cooktop offers smart presets, allowing you to set and hold the ideal temperature for popular cooking methods, such as boiling water or simmering a sauce. This is the perfect solution for busy cooks, as it takes away the need to look up temperature cooking settings for regular meals. What's more, you can also receive an alert to remind you to add ingredients — a Godsend for cooks who tend to multi-task. KitchenAid's latest induction cooktop also offers Event-Heat Zones that accommodate large cookware shapes, such as griddles, grill pans, and braising pans, and can even house two pans at different temperatures. Unlike traditional round bridge elements with heating gaps, the rectangular zone heats evenly edge-to-edge — meaning your food cooks from the center to the edge at the same speed. So, if you're cooking pancakes for breakfast, you don't have to worry about a burnt middle and a just-done outer edge. Easy cleaningInduction cooktops are far easier to clean than standard gas hobs, as they have no awkward grills or burners to clean. But to make ktichen clean-up even easier, KitchenAid's induction cooktop features a WipeClean coating, which the company claims is the easiest induction coating to clean. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. Simply wet the surface with water, wait for five minutes, and wipe away any splatters and spills. The ease of cleaning an induction cooktop is one reason many people swap to induction cooking, and having owned a gas cooktop for many years, I can see the draw. Voice controlWhat's more, it comes with voice control so that you can link your cooktop with your Google Assistant or an Alexa-enable device. Using simple voice commands, you can set the cooking mode for each zone and adjust the heat. For precision beyond high, medium and low settings, KitchenAid's Temp Cook induction cooktop extends the possibilities of exact cooking. Plus, there's plenty of capacity with 5 cooking zones, and smart presets for all your regular functions. Aimed at the avid cook who wants to up their game in the kitchen, Kevin Sulaiman, head of brand, KitchenAid at Whirlpool Corporation, says, 'We know passionate cooks are eager to elevate their culinary skills — whether it's preparing multiple dishes at once, experimenting with new recipes, or trying different cooking techniques. "With Temp Cook Induction, KitchenAid is providing reliable tools that empower consumers to confidently explore and unlock new levels of creativity in the kitchen.'
