Kitchen cyber monday deals (Image credit: Kitchen deals)

Black Friday may be over, but we’re seeing a lot of Cyber Monday deals on kitchen appliances right now. The problem is, with so many sales cropping up, it can be tricky to decide which kitchen deals are actually worth buying. Just because you’ve found a cheap deal, doesn’t necessarily mean it will get the job done.

As a Homes writer for over four years, I’ve tried-and-tested all kinds of small appliances. From air fryers and stand mixers to vacuum cleaners and juicers, I’ve reviewed my fair share — so I know when to spot a good deal.

Before investing, I would always consider the power, build-quality and specifications of a kitchen appliance. Other useful considerations are the size, capacity, ease of use and how easy it is to clean and maintain. In my experience of testing appliances, I always favor ease of use and practicality over fancy features that you will hardly use.

So whether you’re after one of the best stand mixers or a best coffee maker to kickstart your day, here are some of the Cyber Monday kitchen deals I’d certainly buy.

The bowl-lift design makes it particularly effective for mixing large, heavy ingredients, such as pizza dough. This is a great deal considering it’s one of the best stand mixers.

Instant Pot Duo Crisp 11-in-1: was $199 now $129 @ Amazon
I’ve tested some of the best Instant Pots, and this Duo Crisp was one of my favorites. Not only does this 11-in-1 multi-cooker pressure-cook, sauté, and slow cook to perfection, but it also has an air-fryer function. Plus, the EvenCrisp technology will make sure your fries are always crunchy. Bear in mind, you would need to interchange the different lids, so make sure you have enough storage space. It’s currently $70 off on Amazon, which is a bargain.
