With Amazon Prime Day imminent—this year's extended sale runs July 8 through July 11—you might be practicing self-control in the days leading up to the annual shopping holiday, hoping to save your dollars for the best bargains.

Well, I’m happy to report that you can throw caution to the wind a bit early: Amazon already has some great deals on kitchen appliances. Here are my favorite deals paving the way for Prime Day. 

The best early Prime Day deals on multi-cookers

Under $100: The Instant Pot brand has been holding their own holiday sale for the past few days, and this Instant Pot 9-in-1 Duo Plus multi-cooker is a downright bargain at the moment. It’s $69.99, which is 50% off of its regular retail price of $139.99. It’s the six-quart model which is a great size for larger families, or folks who like to meal prep multiple servings at the beginning of the week. 

Splurge sale option: The Instant Pot Pro 10-in-1 multi-cooker for $99.99. It’s 41% off the retail price of $169.99. For $30 more than the Duo right now, this appliance has greater functionality, more presets, and monitoring capabilities via the Instant Pot app. 

The best early Prime Day deals on stand mixers

A good quality stand mixer should be able to do all the hard work for you with kneading dough, whipping cream, and beating butter—and it should do it for years. With that in mind, these heavy-duty appliances aren’t cheap. However, this Instant brand stand mixer gets about as close to cheap as possible without being suspicious. On sale right now for $169.99 (43% off of $299.99), this mixer has 10 speeds, and unlike most stand mixers, you can actually program the speed and duration for it to mix. That’s pretty fancy.

Splurge sale option: The Cuisinart 5.5-quart stand mixer is a brand I trust for numerous kitchen appliances and quality cooking gear. This stand mixer is $234.94 right now, 22% off of the normal retail price of $299.95, and it comes with a three-year warranty. 

The best early Prime Day deals on air fryers

Under $100: Instant Pot again? Listen, if it weren’t a good piece of equipment, I wouldn’t cover it. The Instant Vortex air fryer is my go-to air fryer, and right now it’s 44% off, selling for $89.99. It’s powerful, heats evenly, it’s incredibly easy to operate, anda breeze to clean. Still not sold? Read my glowng review and see how it stacks up against other great air fryers that I tested.

Under $50: For $49.99 you can get a less flashy air fryer that will get the job done. The Dash 2.6-quart isn’t huge and it doesn’t come with fancy preset cooking options, but you can set the time and temperature, and that’s all a petite countertop convection oven needs to offer to crisp up some fries or reheat last night’s fried chicken. 

The best early Prime Day deals on blenders

Splurge sale option: As a highly respected name in the kitchen game, Breville products would never be described as “cheap” but you can describe this one as "on sale." The Breville Commercial Super Q Pro is currently $499.99, or 17% off. This model has five preset programs, and includes two blender containers so you can swap them out while the other is in use.

Under $100: The Breville is the splurge option, so here’s a blender that might fit your budget better. The Ninja Blender is 27% off right now, for a more manageable $79.99. I’ve always found Ninja appliances to be effective and high-quality, so this blender should be an excellent helper in your kitchen.

Under $50: While they aren't as versatile as a stand-alone blender, for years I effectively blended everything from single servings of whipped cream to protein smoothies, chunky salsas to large batches of velvety broccoli soup using only an immersion blender. A good immersion blender is the best-kept secret for a chef on a budget. The Braun Immersion Blender is 29% off for $49.95. 

The best early Prime Day deals on coffee Makers

I’m an insufferable coffee snob most days (here’s my favorite pour over vessel, if you’re looking) but I’ve also been known to pop a Nespresso from time to time. Breville teamed up with Nespresso to bring you a compact espresso maker and it’s 35% off right now, at $110.47. 

Under $100: If you like to have more variety with hot and cold coffees and you don’t mind a splash of self-expression, the pistachio-colored Nespresso Vertuo Pop+ might even be a better deal for you. It can brew all the same types of coffee as the above, in addition to making 12-ounce serving sizes.

Looking for something else? Retailers like Walmart, Best Buy, and Home Depot have Prime Day competition sales that are especially useful if you don’t have Amazon Prime.

• Walmart’s Prime Day competition sale begins at midnight on July 8 and will include deals up to 50% off. It’s an especially good option if you have Walmart+. 

• Best Buy’s Prime Day competition sale, “Black Friday in July,” runs through Sunday, July 13 and has some of the best tech sales online. It’s an especially good option if you’re a My Best Buy “Plus” or “Total” member.

• Home Depot extended their 4th of July sale through at least July 9, competing with some amazing deals of their own. It’s an especially good option if you’re looking for power tools, appliances, or outdoor equipment.
