Kitchen appliance sales can get silly fast. Half the time, you’re looking at a supposedly huge discount on something that seems to be permanently on sale anyway. I went through Amazon and Best Buy’s Labor Day deals and pulled out six that actually caught my attention, from cheap coffee gear to a full-size air fryer oven.
The Ninja Prestige Smart XL is the big-ticket pick here, but Best Buy is making the price much easier to swallow. It’s $249.99, down from a comparison value of $429.99, and it’s explicitly labeled a Labor Day Deal. We’ve previously highlighted its roomy two-rack design and versatility, and I’d look at this one if you want something capable of replacing several smaller countertop appliances.
This is the kind of deal I like because there’s very little to overthink. Best Buy has the bella PRO for $29.99 instead of $59.99, and it’s marked as a Labor Day Deal. It’s a straightforward 12-cup programmable coffee maker, so if your morning routine doesn’t need an app, a touchscreen, or a minor engineering degree, this does the job.
The Outin Nano is easily the strangest pick here, but that’s also why I like it. Best Buy has the Space Gray model for $109.99, down from $149.99, with a Labor Day Deal badge. It’s battery-powered and portable, so this makes a lot more sense for travel, camping, or the office than for someone building a serious home espresso setup.
The Instant Pot Pro Plus is still one of those appliances that can justify taking up permanent counter space. Amazon has it for $169.95 instead of $229.99, which takes about $60 off. Our Instant Pot Pro Plus review found plenty to like about its versatility and usability improvements, and the ability to replace several one-purpose appliances remains its biggest appeal.
The Ninja Blast Max is down to $69.95 from $99.99 at Amazon, where it’s currently marked as a limited-time deal. I wouldn’t buy this expecting countertop-blender performance, but that’s not really the point. It’s rechargeable, compact, and built for smoothies or protein shakes when you don’t want to drag out a full-size blender or hunt for an outlet.
The Cuisinart TOA-70NAS is the one I’d choose if the Ninja Prestige feels like too much appliance. Amazon has it for $158.40 instead of $219.95, so you’re saving about 28%. We’ve covered this Cuisinart air fryer toaster oven before, and it still handles the everyday air-fryer and toaster-oven basics at roughly $90 less than the Ninja.
Outdoor security cameras are not always practical if you live in an apartment or rental. Drilling into an exterior wall may be off-limits, while pointing a regular indoor camera through a window can create another problem once reflections start showing up after dark.
Baseus is trying to solve both issues with the new PrimeSentinel W1, a $69.99 security camera designed specifically to monitor the outdoors through glass. It mounts directly to a window without drilling and uses a 4K Starlight sensor with an F1.0 aperture for full-color monitoring during the day and at night.

Technology evolves every day, transforming how we live and work. Our devices are becoming more than tools we use. They are increasingly capable companions that help streamline day-to-day routines and spark creative ideas. If you have been waiting for the right moment to upgrade your tech setup, the Discover Samsung Shopping Event offers an opportunity to explore what connected, AI-powered living can look like.
With AI progressing so fast, it's only a matter of time before we start getting AI companions like the ones we used to see in movies like R2-D2, Wall-E, or Baymax. Now, Singapore-based OKA Technology has unveiled Mori, a cute little AI companion that looks less like a conventional home robot and more like someone turned the Pokémon Foongus into a table lamp.
Mori isn't meant to clean your house or control your smart home, but to serve as what OKA calls a "Nature Companion." It uses subtle movements, warm lighting, nature-inspired sounds, and small reactions to make its presence around the house feel calming rather than distracting. Mori can sit quietly while you read, sway along to music, welcome you when you enter a room, or encourage you to slow down for a moment without requiring a screen or a conversation.
