Will the KitchenAid mixer really drop on Black Friday? Is $70 a good price for an Instant Pot? If you’re shopping for kitchen appliance Black Friday deals, the hard part is knowing which “was” price to believe, because the same appliance shows a different one at every retailer.
Last year’s Black Friday price is a better test. Several of the most popular appliances hit a clear low in late November 2025, and a couple of them already sell at that price today.
So I’d buy a big appliance, such as a stand mixer, an espresso machine or a countertop oven, only at or under last year’s Black Friday price. For the small things under $100, I wouldn’t plan around Black Friday at all, because the saving is a few dollars.
Black Friday falls on November 27, 2026, and Cyber Monday on November 30. Walmart runs early deals from November 12 to 15, and Best Buy’s Black Friday sale starts on November 19. Amazon hasn’t announced its dates yet, and last year its Black Friday week started on November 20.

Best Kitchen Appliance Deals for Black Friday
The KitchenAid and the Instant Pot are the two I’d recommend to most kitchens. The rest suit a specific habit, such as espresso, ice cream or smoothies.
KitchenAid Artisan 5-Quart Stand Mixer
The Artisan (KSM150PS) is the stand mixer I’d pick for regular baking. Its tilt head and 5-quart bowl handle cookie dough, cakes and a loaf of bread at a time.
- List price: $499.99, though some colors cost more
- Black Friday 2025: $349.95 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: $349.95 or less, in the color you want
Large batches of stiff bread dough are hard work for a tilt-head mixer. If you bake bread every week, a bowl-lift KitchenAid is the better buy.
In India, the Artisan sells as the 4.8-liter 5KSM150PS, built for Indian power outlets.
Instant Pot Duo 6-Quart
The Instant Pot Duo is the easiest Black Friday kitchen buy to recommend. It’s a pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, yogurt maker, steamer, sauté pan and warmer in one pot.
- List price: $109.99
- Black Friday 2025: $69.99 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: $69.99 or less
The Duo has no air fryer lid. If you want crisp food from the same machine, the Instant Pot Duo Crisp covers that for more money.
Ninja CREAMi NC301
The Ninja CREAMi turns a frozen pint of base into ice cream, gelato, sorbet or a protein shake. It suits anyone who wants to control the sugar or make dairy-free pints.
- List price: $229.99
- Black Friday 2025: $179.99 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: $179.99 or less
Each pint has to freeze for about a day before you process it, so the CREAMi rewards planning. It’s also loud while it runs.
Amazon India sells Ninja’s own India version of the 7-in-1 CREAMi.
Breville Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro
The Smart Oven Air Fryer Pro (BOV900BSS) can replace a toaster, an air fryer and a lot of full-oven cooking. It’s the countertop oven I’d pick for a family that cooks daily.
- List price: $399.95
- Black Friday 2025: $299.95 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: $299.95 or less
Breville already sells it for $319.95, so the Black Friday saving may be only $20. It also takes up a lot of counter space, so I’d measure first.
Cuisinart TOA-70 Air Fryer Toaster Oven
The Cuisinart TOA-70 is the budget version of the same idea. It toasts 6 slices of bread and air fries in a basket, and it costs well under half the Breville at last year’s prices.
- List price: $219.95
- Black Friday 2025: $99.95 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: about $100
It uses dials instead of a digital display, so you set the time and temperature by hand. For most toast and air fryer jobs, that’s fine.
Breville Barista Express
The Barista Express (BES870XL) is the espresso machine I’d suggest for a first serious setup. It has a built-in burr grinder and a steam wand, so you don’t need a separate grinder.
- List price: $699.95
- Black Friday 2025: $499.95 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: $499.95, which Breville already charges
Getting a good shot takes some practice with grind size and dose. It also can’t pull a shot and steam milk at the same time.
Vitamix 5200
The Vitamix 5200 is the blender I’d buy once and keep. Its variable speed dial and 64-ounce container handle smoothies, hot soups and nut butters, and it comes with a 7-year warranty.
- List price: varies by retailer and color
- Black Friday 2025: $299.95 at Amazon
- Price I’d wait for: $299.95 or less
The tall container doesn’t fit under some kitchen cabinets. If that matters, check the height before you buy.
Smaller Kitchen Buys
These cost much less, and none had a widely reported Black Friday price last year. I’d buy one when it’s on sale at the usual price or lower, and not wait for November 27 for it.
Cuisinart ICE-21
The ICE-21 is the cheaper way into homemade ice cream. It makes 1.5 quarts in a freezer bowl, which suits families more than the single pints of a CREAMi.
- Capacity: 1.5 quarts per batch
- How it works: a double-insulated bowl that you freeze ahead of time
The bowl needs up to a day in the freezer before each batch. Owning a second bowl lets you make two flavors back to back.
Breville Juice Fountain Cold
The Juice Fountain Cold (BJE430SIL) is the juicer I’d pick for whole fruit and hard vegetables. Its wide chute takes a whole apple, which saves most of the chopping.
- List price: $199.95 at Breville
- Type: centrifugal, with a large juice jug
Centrifugal juicers get less juice from leafy greens than slow juicers. If you mostly juice kale or wheatgrass, a slow juicer is the better buy.
Hamilton Beach Big Mouth Juicer
The Hamilton Beach Big Mouth (67601A) is the budget juicer for someone testing the habit. It has an 800-watt motor and a 3-inch chute for whole fruit.
- Motor: 800 watts
- Warranty: 3-year limited
It’s a simpler build than the Breville. If you plan to juice every day, I’d spend more on the Breville.
Takeya Cold Brew Maker, 2 Quart
The Takeya 2-quart pitcher is the simplest way to make cold brew at home. You fill the mesh filter with coarse grounds, add water and leave it in the fridge.
- Capacity: 2 quarts
- Lid: airtight, so the pitcher can lie flat in a fridge door
Cold brew needs 12 to 24 hours to steep, so you have to make it a day ahead.
Evo Oil Sprayer
The Evo sprayer is a small buy that pairs well with an air fryer. It sprays a measured amount of olive or cooking oil instead of a pour, and it has no aerosol propellant.
- Type: non-aerosol trigger sprayer
- Works with: olive oil, cooking oils and vinegar
A plastic bottle like this is a cheap add-on, so I wouldn’t wait for Black Friday to buy one.
On Amazon India, the Evo listing is the black 16-ounce bottle.
How to Spot a Real Kitchen Appliance Deal
Kitchen appliances carry some of the most stretched “was” prices of any Black Friday category. This is what I’d check before paying:
- Last year’s Black Friday price for the same model, not the crossed-out list price.
- The exact model number, because retailers sell near-identical versions with different bundles.
- The color, since KitchenAid and Breville often discount only some colors.
- The current price at the brand’s own store, which can already match a Black Friday price.
FAQs on Kitchen Appliance Black Friday Deals
When do kitchen appliance Black Friday deals start in 2026?
Black Friday is on November 27, 2026. Walmart starts early deals on November 12 and Best Buy starts its Black Friday sale on November 19. Last year Amazon’s Black Friday week began on November 20.
Is a KitchenAid mixer cheaper on Black Friday?
Usually, yes. Last year the Artisan 5-quart sold for $349.95 at Amazon against a $499.99 list price. I’d wait for that price in the color you want.
Should I wait for Black Friday to buy an Instant Pot?
If you can wait, yes. The Duo 6-quart dropped to $69.99 last Black Friday, about $40 below its list price.
Final Remarks
If you’re still deciding, I’d let the price of the appliance decide. Anything over $200 is worth waiting 3 weeks for, unless the brand already sells it at last year’s Black Friday price, as Breville does with the Barista Express.
