Black Friday is well underway at Amazon, with deals on thousands of products across a plethora of departments. Despite the shopping bonanza being one week away (officially kicks off on November 29), you can already find deals at plenty of retailers online.
Currys and Argos have also launched Black Friday deals a week early, with reductions on an Instant Vortext air fryer (now £139, down from £189) and a Shark Corded vacuum cleaner, (on sale for £129, RRP £230), to name a few. While scrolling through Amazon’s kitchen appliances section, we spotted some offers that are just too good to miss.
Here’s our roundup of some of the top kitchen gadget deals currently available, including big reductions on brands such as Ninja and Morphy Richards.

Ninja air fryers
There are a string of discounts to be found on Ninja kitchen devices this Black Friday. We spotted not one but three best-selling air fryers reduced on Amazon. First up, we have the Double Stack XL Air Fryer, which is now on sale for £209, down from £269.99. The vertical dual air fryer is great for people who have limited countertop space but need a large-capacity device. It has two drawers, a 9.5L capacity, six cooking functions, and can cook eight portions of food at a time.
The second Ninja air fryer reduced is the popular Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer. Similar to the Double Stack XL Air Fryer, this has two drawers and would suit large households. Instead of the drawers being vertically stacked on top of one another, they sit side by side. The Foodi MAX Dual Zone Digital Air can roast, bake, max crisp, air fry, reheat and dehydrate. Pick it up now for £149, down from £229.99. It has a 9.5-litre capacity and can cook up to eight portions of food at a time.
One Amazon Foodi MAX Dual buyer said: “Now that I bought this, there has been no going back! I cannot believe I went so long without one. The time this saves has been incredible. Most food seems to taste better after air frying. This model has so many functions – all of which are very useful – and I cannot recommend it enough.”
Another left a two-star review because they didn’t like the bleeping sound the device makes. They said: “Works like an air fryer should. But that beep sound is just annoying. I haven’t found any way to disable it other than taking it apart.”
The classic Ninja Air Fryer is far more compact. The one-drawer device has four cooking functions, including air-frying, roasting, reheating, and dehydrating. It has a 3.8-litre capacity and is perfect for making food for 2-4 people. You can buy it on Amazon now for £68.89, as part of the Black Friday reductions. It’s usually £99.
A pleased Amazon shopper left a review reading: “I like the look of the air fryer, it’s easy to clean definitely worth the money. It cooks the food really well, and the functions are easy to use. All in all, it’s a great little cooker.”
Another left a one-star review, explaining: “I bought this air fryer just over two weeks ago, and the top is already peeling, even though I have hardly used it yet.”
Speaking on the Double Stack XL Air Fryer, a customer said: “Uses very little space on the counter. Super easy to use.. Quick and efficient. Easy to clean. Don’t know why we didn’t buy one of these sooner!” However, a displeased buyer simply said: “No good. Taking ages to heat up.”
Morphy Richards Classic Soup Maker
It’s most certainly soup season. If you’re in need of some hearty and healthy food, then soups, stews, and broths are the way to go. This Classic Soup Maker is now £54.99, down from £79.99. Built to last with heavy-duty, stainless-steel components, it has a 1.6-litre capacity, which allows you to make delicious soup for up to four people in just 21 minutes or less.
With 1000 watts of pure power, you can boil and blend your ingredients faster and more effectively. What’s more, you can easily switch between four different cooking modes: smooth, chunky, juice, and blend.
One pleased customer left a five-star review, saying, “I use this a couple of times a week. It’s quick and easy to use and clean. It makes a good amount of purée or different-size chunky soups.”
Not all were pleased, with another writing, “Used this only 5 or 6 times, and it’s already broken. It burned out and melted the plastic bottom.”
Tefal Easy Fry Pizza
Say goodbye to takeaways thanks to this indoor pizza oven. The Tefal Easy Fry Pizza can cook a fresh pizza in just six minutes and a frozen one in eight minutes. It evenly cooks to ensure you don’t get an unsatisfactory half-soggy, half-burnt pizza.
You can also use it to make fries, chicken wings and baked goods, such as homebaked cookies. It is now on sale for £79.99, reduced from £139.99. The device has no reviews on Amazon, but on the official Tefal website, you can find plenty. One happy shopper wrote: “Very good product and very good quality. Highly recommended.”
A second rated it three stars due to the price tag, noting: “This is a great addition to the kitchen. It cooks quickly and is so easy to use. I found it quite expensive, though, so that’s why I gave it three stars.”
Tassimo by Bosch Coffee Machine
If you are looking for an addordable coffee machine that isn’t to large and is pretty simply to use, this Tassimo device ticks all the right boxes. To use, simply pop your chosen drink pod in to the coffee machine, press start and the Tassimo coffee machine reads the barcode for the ideal drink every time.
The compact size fits easily on any worktop, making it ideal for flats or smaller kitchens. It is compatible with more than 50 pods. The machine can make lattes, cappuccinos, hot chocolates and more. You can get it in the Black Friday sale for £34.99, originally £39.99.
In the reviews, a customer said, “This is my first time buying a coffee machine. It arrived safely a few days ago. I love the fact that it’s very easy to use. The latte I made was tasty as well. It’s definitely better than instant coffee.”
However, one shopper returned it. They explained: “Bought this as a treat for myself. Easy enough to set up but found the water tank leaked when making a drink. Wouldn’t have minded if the drink had been worth it but that was weak, watery and tasteless. Returned item.”
Philips Blender 3000 Series
Make perfect smoothies, shakes and sauces every time with this Philips Blender 3000 Series. The large 1.9-litre jug prepares up to five servings at a time (based on 200 ml glass size). There’s also an app you can download onto your phone called ‘HomeID App’ where you can find lots of recipe ideas and step-by-step guides.
The blender is also powerful enough to crush ice for those who prefer an ice-cold acai bowl or fruit smoothie. One reviewer praised it, writing: “I use a blender a lot to make my own sauces, etc., and this is great! The volume it holds is perfect for me, and it’s easy to clean.”
But a second user had some problems trying to blend ice. They remarked: “Doesn’t blend ice as it says. You have to add plenty water before it blends. It serves the purpose I got it for and it’s okay for the price.”
You can buy the Philips Blender 3000 Series now for £20, down from £29.99.
Samsung Solo Microwave
This black Samsung MS23K3513AK Solo Microwave has a large 23-litre capacity, making it ideal for large households or even office spaces. It’s on offer now on Amazon for £83.99, whereas it’d usually set you back £139.99. Standout features include a child lock function on the microwave door and a deodorisation mode that eliminates smells. It also has a ‘soft/melt’ option that you can use to heat up gooey desserts without burning them.
In the reviews, one fan said: “Love this microwave, Samsung always do good products. Easy to use and set up, love the deodoriser function. And also the steamer function means I don’t need a separate steaming appliance. Five stars definitely!”
Another gave it three stars, as they thought the light inside wasn’t bright enough. They said, “Simple microwave and easy to use. Knocked off 2 stars as either the interior light is too dim or the dark film is too dark. When baking cakes, you can’t check on them without opening the door.”
