I wasn't sure what to expect from the Dreame Z50 Station vacuum cleaner when it first launched earlier this year, but its spec sheet was impressive. With industry-leading 330 air watts of suction power, I was hoping it would clean better than the 315AW Dyson V16 Piston Animal... and, boy, did it impress!
It put that high suction to good use and, in my Dreame Z50 Station review, I couldn't help but say it can put both Dyson and Shark to shame. My only complaints were its overall weight (it's the heaviest stick vacuum I've ever tested) and its steep price tag.
However, that premium price is now a lot more achievable as Dreame has discounted it down to AU$999 (from AU$1,499) directly on its site. You won't find the Z50 Station sold at other retailers, so this offer can be easy to miss and yet it's the one EOFY deal you shouldn't — I consider the Z50 Station to be one of the best vacuum cleaners in Australia right now.
It might be heavy, but I was very impressed with this stick vac's performance — if there's one EOFY deal you shouldn't miss if you need a new vacuum, it's probably this one. This is the first time I've seen it drop below the one-grand mark and its suction is fabulous on all kinds of floors, plus its self-emptying functionality is just as impressive. You will need to account for the recurring cost of dust bags though.View Deal
Firstly, that suction power of 330AW. I admit that this spec isn't a standard used across the industry and a lot of that suction capability is dependent on the airflow through the machine, but Dreame seems to have done it well. From the design of the floorhead that can suck while moving back or forth to the volume of air moving into the onboard dust cup, the Z50 definitely is very sucky indeed. In my tests, it cleaned up messes in one move, two at the most, a touch less than any Dyson I've reviewed personally!
Then there's the self-emptying functionality that's a default part of the machine. The Station is just as powerful and can empty the dust cap as soon as the stick vac is placed onto the dock. I did notice that a thin layer of fine does get stuck around the top rubber washer inside the dust cup, but it's remarkably easier to dismantle the handheld unit for regular maintenance — a lot easier than Dyson's design of the dust cup in my opinion.
I should call out the telescopic tube that, again, you won't see on a Dyson. Oh, and said tube is bendy too, so you can get under furniture (you'll need to buy a separate attachment from Dyson to do that).
You will have to consider the ongoing cost of the dust bag but, given its 3L volume, you may not need to throw it out as often as smaller bags and it could prove economical.
If you've got the budget, this is arguably the best premium cordless vacuum I've tested this year and I would absolutely skip the Dyson for this one.
I think it's safe to say that a large majority of the British public have been struggling to get through their daily lives in this extreme summer weather, but if you're a freak for the heat, well, props to you.
Since it's Amazon Prime Day, everyone has been racing to try and get their hands on the best fans before the online retailer is completely ransacked, but we've just spotted this fan and air conditioner hybrid (it's more of an air cooler) for less than £100, and it's quite a steal if you ask me.
One of the few remaining air coolers on Amazon is the Midea 5L 3-in-1 Portable Air Conditioner, an evaporative air cooler that's now at £89.99 from £93.49. While we haven't had the chance to test it out yet, there's no denying that this is an affordable price point for most people who are searching for the key to cooling their home. But in spite of its undoubtedly handy features, there's something you should know before you add it to your basket.
Today's best Midea 5L Air Cooler deal
This is more than a standard oscillating fan, it uses water to project a cold breeze into a humid room which, given this heat, sounds like a dream on paper. And it's not too expensive either compared to the likes of the premium range of Dyson fans, which are well into the triple figures. View Deal
Price aside, the Midea 3-in-1 fan does come with some functional perks, the main ones being its fan, humidifier, and cooling settings, giving you a variety of options depending on your need.
Its large 5-litre tank is a plentiful, and when it's filled to the top, you can make the most of its air-cooling properties for up to 12 hours each day before refilling, so that way, you're not constantly patrolling back and forth to fill it up. You can also choose from three speeds and two operation modes, normal and natural, to adjust the air flow to your comfort.
Sounds great for its price point right? And it is, but the only caveat is that it adds moisture to your air which, when it gets quite humid in the summer months, can make the air feel even hotter. Therefore, the more moisture added to the air in your home, the more moisture in the air the heat has to work with.
In short, evaporative air coolers like this one will solve your issues in dry heat, but as for humid heat (which it currently is in the UK), the results may not be the same. If this has swayed you in the opposite direction, here's an alternative dehumidifier we've selected below.
We haven't had the chance to test this one out yet, but we've had plenty of hands-on experience with Honeywell's range of other home tech and we've been pleased each time. This model comes with a 3.4-litre water tank and custom humidity controls levels, as well as a smart mode that can automatically adjust dehumidification. And it's not going to make an absolute racket while in use either, it produces sounds up to 44db. View Deal

Ninja is one of the biggest names in kitchen appliances, and for good reason. Its products are thoughtfully designed, packed with genuinely useful features, and usually very reasonably priced as well. Devices like the Ninja Creami ice cream maker, Crispi glass air fryer, and Slushi ice cream maker are often copied, but so far we've not seen anything that works as well as the original.
If you're planning to upgrade your kitchen this summer, I've put together a list of five of the best Ninja appliances we've tested over the last couple of years, so you can pick something that will really work for you. All of these devices have been put through an extensive battery of hands-on tests in our reviewers' own kitchens, so you can be confident that they'll deliver great results in yours as well.
You'll also find today's best deals on every appliance right here, so you don't need to spend time hunting around for a good deal if you spot something you like. Ninja appliances often get some great price cuts for Amazon Prime Day, so this is an excellent time to pick one up.
1. Ninja Prestige DualBrew System
FutureFutureFutureFutureFutureFutureFutureFuture
I test over a dozen coffee makers a year, and this is one of my all-time favorites. The Ninja Prestige DualBrew System (known as the Ninja Espresso and Coffee Maker Barista System in the US) is a one-stop shop for all your coffee-making needs. On the right you have an espresso machine with an adjustable-height drip tray, which uses Nespresso Original style capsules to brew drinks in the size of your choice. I tested it with pods from a local coffee roaster, and they tasted amazing.
On the left, you have a fully-featured drip coffee maker, complete with a very effective drip-stop mechanism, smart hotplate to keep your brew warm without scalding it, a timer, and even a fold-out drip tray so you can place a travel cup underneath instead of the carafe (perfect for taking to work).
There's even a milk-frothing arm on the back, which you can fold out to make lattes and cappuccinos, though you'll need to heat the milk in the microwave first because it's not a steam wand. That's a minor quibble considering how much this machine has to offer.
The original Ninja Crispi was great — a portable air fryer that cooks your food inside re-sealable glass containers — but the Crispi Pro is even better. This model is designed to use in your kitchen, with dishwasher-safe glass dishes that slide inside, six cooking modes, and the ability to prepare up to 10 servings at once.
You can adjust the height of the base unit to suit the dish you're using, and the handles of the dishes stay cool so there's no need to fuss around with potholders or trivets. Whether you want to quickly cook some fries or roast an entire chicken, the Crispi Pro can handle it. It produced consistently great results during our tests, handling Mexican corn, tofu, homemade bagels, brussels sprouts, and dried apple with ease.
For us, the only downside is the size of the base unit, which is on the larger side, but that's not unreasonable considering how many hungry people this fryer can feed.

4. Ninja Woodfire Outdoor Grill
Future / Helen McCueFuture / Helen McCueFuture / Helen MCueVic HoodVic HoodFuture / Helen McCueFuture / Helen McCueFuture
Want an authentic BBQ taste, without the mess and hassle? The Ninja Woodfire is an electric grill that uses chips of real wood to infuse your food with delicious smoky flavors as it cooks. Different woods produce different results, and the Woodfire comes with a pack of various types so you can experiment and find your favorite.
Our reviewer Helen McCue gave the Ninja Woodfire a full five stars, saying "This electric outdoor grill offers the convenience and control of cooking on gas, combined with the smoky flavors of charcoal or wood barbecues."
It produces excellent results with traditional BBQ foods, including burgers, veggie skewers, corn and chicken, but offers a few surprises too. Like Ninja's air fryers, it has a bake mode that you can use to make tasty flatbreads, a loaf, or even brownies. It's not big enough to cater for a big party, but it's a great option if you don't have the space or the inclination to use a gas or charcoal grill.
No roundup of the best Ninja kitchen appliances would be complete without the Ninja Swirl by Creami. This clever machine produces delicious scoopable ice cream, just like the regular Creami, but as the name suggests it will also dispense creamy soft-serve right into the cone, tub, or bowl of your choice. There are 15 different settings to help you get exactly the right consistency, and you can have fun experimenting with different recipes (the r/ninjacreami subreddit is a great source of inspiration). Frozen yogurt and custard, sorbet, gelato, and even milkshakes are all on the menu.
As our reviewer Karen Freeman noted, you need to freeze your ingredients for 24 hours before you can begin processing them, so it's a good idea to keep some tubs prepared in the freezer so they're ready to go when you get an ice cream craving. When you get started, it only takes about 4-6 minutes to produce a tub of tasty dessert (to which you can add candy, cookies, or fruit if you like). Alternatively, you can process it again to turn it into soft serve. It's incredibly quick and easy.
We're in the midst of (a very hot) summer, and I'm sure many of you out there are raring to go on your travels this season. But if you're about to jet off on your vacation, then it's best to be as prepared as possible. And you know what you need to make your travels as seamless and enjoyable as possible? Some top-tier tech.
I'm a Senior Reviews Writer here at TechRadar, and have tested hundreds of gadgets over the years, from premium noise-cancelling headphones through to power banks and misting fans. So, I've got the lowdown on all the travel tech essentials you need to make this summer one to remember — for all the right reasons, of course.
I've included seven must-haves, with a small speaker, travel chargers, and even a compact clothes steamer on the list. Everything here has either been tested by me, or someone on the TechRadar team, so I'm confident that each item will serve you well on your adventures this summer and beyond. So, without further ado, let's dive right into my top picks!
1. Noise cancelling headphones: Sony WH-1000XM6
Oh look, it's me wearing the Sony WH-1000XM6! (Image credit: Future)
Ah, Sony WH-1000XM6, my beloved. These are, in my view — and the view of many at TechRadar — the best headphones you can buy right now.
The XM6 have it all. Class-leading active noise cancellation works great, even on flights with jet rumbles and screaming children. They sound incredible, with brilliant balance across the frequency range, as well as plenty of low-end punch and excitement to make energetic tunes sound their best. And they're foldable too, making them incredibly compact when you're on the move.
These come with a handy magnetic carry case, 30 hours of battery life, and excellent touch controls. Sony's Sound Connect app also makes it easy to tailor sound to your liking and make any subtle changes you need. They're simply the best, but I'll let you find that out for yourself.
2. Small speaker: JBL Go 5
This small speaker is ideal for getting ready or listening to tunes by the beach (Image credit: Future)
The JBL Go 5 launched recently, and when I reviewed it, the speaker genuinely took my breath away.
It's exactly how to do an upgrade right, offering better sound, a more flashy design, and even better durability than its already impressive predecessor, the JBL Go 4. I love its edge lighting, its well-balanced sound with clean bass and rich mids, and also its broad feature set, which includes EQ options and multi-speaker pairing.
Despite improving on what its predecessor had to offer, the Go 5 is available at a very similar price, typically coming in at around the $55 / £40 mark, and if you need excellent sound, solid battery life, and high level (IP68) waterproofing on a budget, then it's the best small Bluetooth speaker to buy right now.
3. Power bank: Anker Nano Power Bank 10K 45W
With an integrated cable and speedy charging, this power bank is ideal for on-the-go use (Image credit: Future)
I genuinely bring this Anker power bank with me everywhere. It's the definitive portable battery for travel for a few key reasons.
The first is its size. This model is absolutely tiny and can easily slip into a pocket or small bag, no problem. Second, it's incredibly practical. There's an integrated USB-C cable, making charging on the go totally seamless. And finally, it's a fantastic performer. That 45W max wattage means fast-charging is easily accessible on even some of the best phones.
A 10,000mAh capacity should also mean it can charge a pair of wireless headphones as well as your handset, so if you want an ultra-practical, lightweight power bank to bring on the go, the Anker Nano Power Bank 10K 45W is my number one recommendation.
4. Travel charger: Anker Nano Charger 45W with USB-C Cable
It's compact, high-performing, and even comes with a USB-C cable (Image credit: Future)
If you need a travel charger for your phone, tablets, and wireless earbuds, then look no further than the Anker Nano Charger 45W, which comes with a USB-C cable in the box — a nice touch!
I've used this one a lot myself, and it's great for travel. Why? Well, it's incredibly compact and packs in quite a bit of power, meaning you can make use of fast charging without lugging a massive brick around. If you're using a travel adapter, the model's low weight also means it won't awkwardly get weighed down or stick out, which is a huge plus.
This charger is well-built, foldable — helping it to slide into your pocket — and highly affordable. It really has it all, so if you're still using a slow charger, then take things up a notch with this awesome Anker alternative.
5. Portable fan: Shark ChillPill
Take a ChillPill with this awesome portable fan (Image credit: Future)
In the UK, it's absolutely scorching right now. It feels like I'm fighting for my life here with the combination of high humidity and near record-breaking temperature. And when you're on your summer travels, I'd wager that it will be similarly blazing in a number of countries. What you need, then, is a portable fan.
We're big... fans... of the Shark ChillPill here at TechRadar, and awarded it a 4.5 star review recently. It has good battery life, is filled with a range of cooling options, and even has a mister for when you need a healthy blast of cold.
The build and design quality is strong here too, and the straightforward controls make it a joy to use. Yes, it's a little expensive, but we've seen it pop up on sale from time to time, so if you want to stay chilled on the move, then I'd strongly suggest picking this lil' gadget up.
6. Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige
(Image credit: Future)
OK, so not everyone will need this, but if, like me, your facial hair seems to grow back in the blink of an eye, the Philips Shaver S9000 Prestige will be a great addition to your travel tech arsenal.
With multiple speed settings to suit your desired sensitivity, wet and dry shaving versatility, interchangeable heads (including a beard trimmer), and spectacular handling, the S9000 Prestige is a true all-rounder.
This model also has solid battery life and I rarely need to juice it up. But it comes with a wireless charging pad for when you're running low on power. There's also a cleaning device thrown in the box, and a carry case for whenever you're on the move.
I've found that the S9000 Prestige is kind on my skin, which is pretty prone to razor burn, and its flexible foil shaver is great at getting into those hard to reach areas around the nose, for instance. It launched at a fairly high price, but you can regularly swipe it up on sale now, so why not give it a go?
7. Clothes steamer: various options
OK, in all honesty, I've not actually got a travel clothes steamer, but when some colleagues of mine heard that I was writing this piece, they were clear that it's a must have.
After all, how many times have you been on holiday or out on a business trip and realized that our garments look a little creased? For me, it's a few times too many. With a compact clothes steamer, you can wave goodbye to pesky creases and wrinkles in a flash.
So, I have a few recommendations from the team that I'm here to share with you. For our US readers, Managing Editor of News & Deals, Jacob Krol, suggests the Conair Handheld Garment Steamer. This affordable model boasts "turbo steam power," comes with a 3-in-1 attachment, and has a water tank that's good for 20 minutes of steaming. Not bad, eh?
Over the pond, our Managing Editor of Social & Engagement, Josephine Watson, had a couple of recommendations. The first, the Tefal Pure Pop Slim Handheld, is cheap, comes in a range of funky colors, and heats up in just 15 seconds for super speedy action. Josephine told me that her bridesmaid friend bought this model in order to save a wedding dress disaster — and luckily, it worked. Talk about coming in clutch.
Josephine also recommended the Russell Hobbs Steam Genie 2in1 Handheld, even claiming she would trade her firstborn for it. Pretty high praise. This model has a 150ml water tank, can heat up nice and swiftly, and claims to kill up to 99.9% of bacteria within 60 seconds.
This spring, as many are wont to do, I decided to use the power of shakes to get myself a bunch of nutrients that I'm assured will change my life. I settled on a concoction of oat milk, protein powder, cacao, chia seeds, and banana, and got myself a Ninja BlendBoss.
I wanted something without too big a footprint on the surface. I liked the 'tumbler blender' design, meaning you can take your drink away with you instantly after blending without decanting into something else. Plus, our Ninja BlendBoss review was glowing, so it seemed like an ideal fit.
And for a while now, it's done a perfect job for my morning routine. I get a nice smooth drink, with the chia seeds smashed into smaller bits so they don't get stuck in my teeth and make me look a fool all day, and everything is fully mixed just using the 'Blend IQ' preset mode.
More recently, though, I've been living through a heatwave, and I've finally had reason to explore its ability to crush ice… and I'm so glad I happened to already have the BlendBoss at home, because the ability to summon a super-cold slushie-style drink in under two minutes feels like having a superpower right now.
We gave the Ninja BlendBoss 4.5 stars out of 5 in our review, praising it as "a small but mighty blender that makes it easy to blend your favorite smoothies and iced beverages". We liked its powerful operation, small footprint, and the fact that it blends right into a tumbler you can take away. This is its first real discount, because it's a pretty new product.View Deal
The UK BlendBoss deal is even better than the US one — these are the first real discounts it's had, and this is a great price for something this easy and powerful.View Deal
It's not quite the smoothness of a true slushie, of course — otherwise, what would anyone need the Ninja Slushi for? — but it can really pulp that ice to provide something with the 'blended cocktail' consistency.
Yes, obviously, I could (and regularly do) put regular ice in my drink, but that just provides a gentle cold spot near where the ice is. The BlendBoss gives me a way of delivering a tasty blizzard right to my insides. I've never had such easy access to ice cream headaches, and I'm over the moon about it.
It's also convenient that you can easily buy a second tumbler to use with it, so that if I'm enjoying my quick slushie straight from the container, my partner doesn't have to wait — she can have an ice schedule entirely of her own making.
Now that I've tested how well it works for ice crushing, I'll probably end up using it for frozen margaritas during a lot more of the year. Maybe I'll learn what's in a daiquiri. For now, I'm avoiding alcohol during the heatwave — I'm just happy with it being my ultimate cold drink buddy.
We all know that kitchen appliances can cost a pretty penny, which is why using big deals events like Amazon Prime Day to save on spending can cause such frenzy among eager shoppers.
Whether you're looking for the best coffee makers, air fryers, or blenders, there's plenty to choose from, and I've hand-picked the best options to help you whittle down the pages upon pages of Amazon's discounted devices.
Here in the UK, in case you haven't noticed, we're in the throes of a massive heatwave, so some of the best deals I've seen are on devices that can help you make cooling treats like ice cream and iced coffee. I've actually already bought Breville's Iced Coffee Maker, which is over half price at £21.99 (was £46.99).
My trusty Ninja Creami is in absolute overdrive this week as I make gallons upon gallons of delicious, custom-recipe ice cream, and it's one of my top picks to help combat the UK's extreme weather warnings. Right now, it's on sale for £199 (was £249) at Amazon. It's not quite a record low for Ninja's once-viral sweet treat machine (that was £149), but I won't sniff at a £50 savings.
Amazon Prime Day coffee machine deals
At almost its lowest price ever, the popular Nespresso Vertuo Pop Coffee Pod Machine is a treat in this 48% off Prime day deal. In our review, we scored it a full five stars for its simple set-up and great results. This is one I've personally purchased family members and wholeheartedly recommend.
Record-low price: The fact that we awarded it 4.5 stars in our review for its ease of use, bevvy of customisable settings, and tasty results makes me think it could be the exact upgrade I need for my kitchen. While it's still a pricey machine, this record-low price makes it more palatable.
Record-low: This coffee maker has one of my favourite features: swappable hoppers so you can switch from full-caffeine to decaf beans in the afternoon and avoid ruining your night's sleep. I gave it a full five stars in my review, and it earned every one. This offer is different across all three colours (black, white, and grey) but in white, it's at a record-low.
Record-low price: The Vertuo Next scored four out of five stars in our review, with writer Sophie Bird calling it "the simplest coffee maker I've ever used". Here it comes bundled together with an Aeroccino milk frother, with a huge 60% price cut and a record-low price. In a recent hotel stay, I used this for my daily caffeine fix; it's fantastic.
Record-low: The De'Longhi Magnifica Evo Next does everything you could need from a coffee maker. It has a simple-to-use colour TFT display with a selection of buttons to help you choose your preferred beverage. There are 13 beverages to choose from, along with many intensity levels and temperature settings. It has a built-in grinder so you don’t have to do much while its automatic milk jug keeps your milk at an optimal temperature, so you’re all set. It’s easy to clean, too, with dishwasher-safe components.
Record low: The LatteGo series are superb compact espresso machines, and this model has received a huge price cut. Its milk frothing system is particularly good, producing creamy foam using plant or dairy milk, and not leaving you with any awkward tubes or pipes to clean. Delicious coffee without the hassle.
This is a truly brilliant coffee maker, with a full filter coffee system on the left, and a Nespresso machine on the right. Both parts work brilliantly, and it has everything you need for a morning jump-start. We awarded it a full five stars, and at this price it's even easier to recommend.
The Lattissima One is a premium Nespresso machine that we awarded four stars out of five thanks to its smart design that looks great and is easy to use, and its automatic milk frothing system that lets you make cappuccinos with a single tap.
One of the best small espresso machines we've tested here at TechRadar, the Dedica Style delivers consistent heat and pressure, and according to our reviewer, it's "perfect for smaller kitchens". An ideal option if you're looking for your first manual espresso machine. This deal applies to the black and stainless steel versions.
A £120 saving and almost the lowest-ever price for one of the best coffee machines does not come around very often at all. That's why we think you should consider it very carefully, especially if you were in the market for a coffee maker already. The Ninja Luxe Café is a professional-level coffee machine with a whopping 25 different grind settings and many smart features that make it a cut above the rest.
Very has knocked a generous £100 off this superb little espresso machine in the UK, bringing it down to a record-low price. It's fantastic value, and would be perfect for your kitchen counter, or as a gift.
This model doesn't have a touchscreen, but personally I don't think that's a bad thing; the physical controls are satisfying to use, and there are fewer fingerprints to worry about when I tried it for a few days staying at a friend's home. Its steam wand is manual rather than automatic, so you also get the tactile feeling of texturing milk yourself.
During testing, we appreciated its handy pressure gauge, which helps you see if your shot is being extracted correctly before you taste it, and its particularly good steam wand, which makes foaming milk a breeze. I didn't love its spring-loaded tamper, but that's hardly a dealbreaker, especially with 50% off.
Amazon has knocked over £200 off this Breville espresso machine, bringing it down to almost its lowest price ever. It's a semi-automatic machine, meaning it handles the grinding and dosing for you, but lets you have fun with the rest of the barista experience (pulling the shot, frothing milk, and having a crack at latte art if you fancy).
This Breville espresso machine has an extraction timer, which lets you see if your shot is likely to be under-extracted, over-extracted, or just right before you taste it. It's a great feature you'll find on premium coffee makers, and surprisingly rare in this price bracket. At almost a record-low price, it's a steal.
For the price of four Starbucks iced lattes, you can have cool caffeination at home in less than four minutes. It's not something we've personally tested, but with 2000+ customer reviews on Amazon and a 4.3-star rating, it seems a pretty popular gadget. At almost its lowest-ever price (£17.97 in 2024), this is a steal; I'll report back once I've tried it later this week.View Deal
Save an extra 40% with code: ELEC40 This has an initial discount bringing it from £95 to £69, then you can apply a 40% code at the checkout to unlock the bigger discount. It's a slick, narrow pod coffee machine that's great for smaller kitchens.
Record-low price: If you're looking for a high-capacity air fryer, then the Ninja Foodi FlexDrawer, now at over £80 off, is a must-have. This is its record-low cost, so you can bag its 10.4L capacity, which is enough to fit a 2kg chicken or 1.5kg of fries in each zone for under £200. I used this as my main air fryer for a few months, and it's tremendous for feeding large households.
The Ninja Double Stack is one of our top-rated air fryers thanks to its innovative design that lets you prepare a full meal without taking up your whole kitchen worktop, and the XL version gives you even more space to cook. It's my model of choice, and holds pride of place in my kitchen. In its black / copper colorway, it's almost at a record-low price at Amazon.
Record-low price: It likes to yo-yo in price, but this is the first time we've seen this model drop below £100 since Black Friday last year. For a dual basket model and 13 different cooking methods, how can you go wrong?
Cooking for a family, but don't want to spend a fortune? You'll be hard-pressed to find a 10L air fryer cheaper than this — especially one that performs this well. When we tested it, we loved its synced cooking feature, which lets you finish cooking two different foods at once, and the wealth of recipes available in its connected mobile app.
Our reviewer praised this Ninja air fryer's ability to deliver crisp, evenly browned food every time, and mentioned that it's particularly easy to clean, and I concur based on my few weeks with the model. A great choice if you're cooking for a family (particularly at this price)!
The Satisfry earned a place in our roundup of the best air fryers thanks to its fantastically consistent cooking (our oven chips never looked so good) and wallet-friendly price tag. It's now even more affordable with this almost (just £1 shy) record-breaking deal at Amazon, and even easier to recommend.
Record-low price: If the Ninja dual basket air fryers are out of your budget range, Amazon is knocking off £80 Cuisinart's own dual basket air fryer this Prime Day. It uses Air Advantage tech to ensure it produces crispy yet tender results across its two 5.2L baskets, with plenty of space to feed the family.
Record-low price: Particularly well-suited for those with limited space, the Ninja Crispi offers air frying and roasting functionality, as well as a keep-warm feature and recrisping. It comes with two removable glass containers and lids, so it’s great for meal prep. The larger one is 3.8L in size, providing enough space to feed up to six people while also allowing for the simultaneous cooking of a whole 1.2kg chicken and vegetables; I tried it when my colleague bought it to the office (yes, that's a thing in this line of work), and it's pretty impressive. This is a record-low price on the Stone Gold colorway.
An air fryer for under £60 from a reputable brand? Yes! This is a fantastic deal if you're looking for a real bargain, and it doesn't skimp on features. There's only a single drawer, but it has a viewing window so you don't need to open it to check your chips, 13 cooking modes, and dishwasher-safe components. A Prime Day steal.
We're a big fan of Philips kitchen appliances (the coffee makers are amazing), and this dual-basket air fryer is no exception. Rather than two equal-sized drawers, it has a large one for your main dish and a small one for a side — plus optional steam to keep meat and fish tender.
The stylish Cosori Air Fryer Pro is already an affordable model, but with this deal, it's an even more attractive option. While testing this gadget out for our Cosori Air Fryer Pro review, we found it was able to cook fries and chicken wings to perfection — however it did require some experimentation, and it didn't handle frozen food so well. Still, for under £60, it's a worthwhile investment.
If you want to go all the way with a convenient knife block with a built-in sharpener, then this is a great price for a premium set from Ninja. You'll never suffer from dull knives again with this extremely handy kitchen gadget, with its six-piece set of stainless steel knives and included paring scissors. A good friend of mine absolutely raves about this knife block, but I'm more of a Japanese knife kinda gal.
The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is a powerful all-in-one portable blender — and it's now down to a great low price for Prime Day. It has a 530ml container with a leakproof lid and sip spout, while the carry handle means you can take it with you to the gym or on your walks. It’s capable of blending ice and frozen fruit, as well as any liquids and powders, while one charge gives you up to two hours of battery life. I scored this four stars in my review.
I'm a little tempted by this over £20 price reduction on this well-scoring blender, but having bought the highly performant 900-series for a family member last year, I'm holding out hope for a discount on the more powerful model. While it can't chop ice, it creates velvety smoothies out of fresh and frozen fruits hassle-free. On top of this, the build quality and performance impressed us, and the fact that it's even cheaper than it was on Black Friday makes this an even sweeter deal. View Deal
This is one of the first deals we've seen for the new Ninja BlendBoss, so a £35 price cut is a pretty solid start. I've been watching this one after my colleague Matt Bolton raved about it, and seeing as we scored this small but mighty blender 4.5 stars in our review, praising its convenient integrated 26-ounce travel tumbler and powerful blades, making it perfect for a quick cool smoothie ahead of a busy day in the heat.

Amazon Prime Day ice cream maker deals
Back at its lowest-ever price at Amazon, the Cuisinart Frost Fusion is a solid competitor to Ninja's various ice cream makers, offering fast frozen drinks and soft-serve ice cream with 6 modes and a slim profile to keep your kitchen counters clear. With £100 off, it's a steal for Prime Day.View Deal
Ninja's Creami ice cream maker is a household favorite, having pretty much revolutionised the scene when it hit the market a few years ago. I've made good use of it this week during the heatwave, but it's worth noting this isn't the best price we've seen. Still, it's a sizeable £50 saving nonetheless. View Deal
In June, the Creami Scoop and Swirl dropped to its lowest-ever price of £265 at Amazon, so this £80-off deal is a pretty close call for the best deal we've seen on one of our top summer picks. We scored it 4 stars in our review, praising its delicious results, ease of use, and 13 different settings. If I didn't already have the Creami, I might be tempted to grab one myself, having tried the delicious soft-serve results at a trade show last year.View Deal
Amazon Prime Day beverage maker deals
At less than £100, Sodastream's latest streamlined beverage carbonation station is a great way to keep things cool during the impending heatwave if, like me, you get bored with water easily. I tried my first Sodastream a few months ago, and after years of side-eyeing the appliance, I must admit, I see the use when it comes to making controlled-sugar drinks at home. It's the first time we've seen an Amazon deal on this particular model, so a £60 discount is nothing to sniff at. View Deal
This weather makes an ice-cold drink extremely appealing right now, and the unique Ninja Slushi just fell back to its Black Friday price at Amazon. This kitchen appliance makes all sorts of chilled and frozen drinks, including juices, cocktails, milkshakes, and more. We loved it in our Ninja Slushi review, praising its ability to make quick and delicious drinks easily in a fun and entertaining package. Again, I've tried the results of this one at a trade show and probably would have attempted grand theft Slushi were it not for my limited luggage space.View Deal
I test over a dozen coffee makers every year here at TechRadar, and Breville's espresso and drip coffee machines are consistently some of the best around. That quality doesn't come cheap, but during Amazon Prime Day I'm hoping to find one of my favorites at a deep discount.
All of these machines are totally beginner-friendly, and will help you achieve consistently delicious results even if you've never tried making coffee at home before.
First, a word on names: these coffee makers are sold under the name 'Breville' in the US and Australia, but 'Sage' in the UK. They are the exact same coffee makers, but the name 'Breville' was already taken by a different company in the UK. Now, on with my wish list.
1. Breville Barista Touch Impress with Cold Extraction
FutureFutureFutureFutureFutureFutureFuture
If you're looking for an espresso machine this Prime Day, the Barista Touch Impress with Cold Extraction is a great pick. It's normally pretty pricey, but with the right discount it'll be easy to recommend, helping you achieve perfectly balanced espresso every time even if you've never touched a portafilter before.
The Impress Puck System is my favorite feature, letting you pull down a lever to tamp your freshly ground coffee without having to remove the portafilter handle from beneath the grinder. You never have to move a filter basket full of loose coffee and risk spilling it, and the tactile feeling of the lever is very satisfying.
Cold brewing involves allowing the bed of ground coffee to infuse in cold water (a process known as blooming) before it’s extracted at high pressure. The result is a smooth-tasting drink that’s a good alternative to traditionally-made cold brew, in a fraction of the time. Delicious.
The Luxe Brewer Thermal is the best drip coffee maker I've tested to date, and I've got my eyes peeled for a good Prime Day discount so I can take the plunge and pick one up for myself.
Brewing a batch of drip coffee is, fundamentally, a very straightforward process – you just pour hot water onto ground coffee and let it drip into a carafe – and the Luxe Brewer Thermal keeps things simple while providing a handful of genuinely useful customization options. In my tests, the default settings worked well, but if you don't get just the right flavor from your beans you can tweak the bloom time (how long the coffee is pre-infused with hot water), bloom temperature, brew time, and brew temperature to fine-tune the extraction.
It can also prepare a batch of cold-brewed coffee. Add ground beans and water, and your coffee will be steeped cold for 24 hours. The machine will beep to alert you when it's ready, so all you need to do is add ice and enjoy. Perfect for hot summer days.
The Barista Express is a mid-range semi-automatic espresso machine that's a nice step up if you're currently using a capsule coffee maker and want to start getting more hands-on with your morning brew. The Express can dose and grind the beans for you, but you'll tamp the coffee yourself, use the razor tool to get it to the perfect level, and steam your own milk. It's a lot of fun once you get the hang of it.
There are some nice touches too, like the cool-touch handle on the steam wand, aforementioned levelling tool, and a temperature gauge on the milk pitcher to make sure you don't scald your foam (nobody wants that).
This is one of Breville's older semi-automatics, so if we're lucky we could see some very generous deals this Prime Day, potentially knocking several hundred off the regular price.
Amazon Prime Day is imminent, but Argos has beaten Amazon to the punch with its catchily named 'Seize the sale' event, which includes offers on home tech, toys, garden essentials for the summer weather, and more. You can view the full Argos sale here.
We're not really focusing on the 'Hot' part of this right now, but it makes it a useful device for all seasons. This Dyson fan can blast you with air to help beat the heatwave, or create heat waves of its own when winter rolls back around. I have a Dyson Hot + Cool in my bedroom, and it's really useful to have one device that does it all well.View Deal

I tested a mess-free smart misting fan with powerful yet quiet performance and a budget-friendly price — here’s why it’s a must-have device for the summer.
The Baristina makes brewing coffee with fresh beans as easy as using Nespresso pods, and you don't need to be a Prime subscriber to get this epic deal.
I've been looking for an upgrade to my home coffee machine for a while, and now that the Breville Barista Express is back to its lowest-ever price ahead of Prime Day, I think I might have found what I'm looking for.
KitchenAid's latest fully automatic coffee maker is extra compact and makes an excellent espresso, though its 'iced' drinks leave something to be desired.
