Dreo ChefMaker Combi Fryer | Was $359.00, now $219.00 at Amazon

Lydia just finished testing the DREO ChefMaker Combi Fryer, and she's already obsessed: 'You get custom Chef modes, making it easy to cook steaks and seafood to perfection. It's great for foodies and anyone who wants to level up their home cooking with minimal effort. Usually a little expensive, the DREO ChefMaker Combi Fryer is on the higher end of the air fryer market, but it's a steal in the sales. When you shop Amazon Prime Big Deal Days, it's cheaper than the going rate for Ninja's latest, greatest models.'

Breville the Smart Oven Pizzaiolo | Was $999.95, now $799.95 at Amazon

'With the Breville Smart Oven Pizzaiolo, it's virtually impossible to get the pizza cooking process wrong,' says Millie. This indoor pizza oven reaches internal temperatures of 750°F to create a perfect crisp base. The outside of the oven is heat-safe, so you don't have to worry about burning your fingers or scorching your countertops. I usually hesitate to recommend the Pizzaiolo because it's so expensive, but I feel safer with this $200 discount.

Breville the 3X Bluicer | Was $299.95, now $179.97 at Amazon

With Breville the 3X Bluicer, you can make clean, clear juices and chunky fruit smoothies in one space-saving machine. There are five speed settings to squeeze all the goodness out of soft and firm fruits, plus an extra-wide feed chute to accommodate larger ingredients and cut down on chopping and peeling time. One word of warning from our kitchen expert, Lydia: 'Like most centrifugal juicers, the Bluicer produces a fair amount of froth, so you might want to strain your juice for smoother sipping.' I'll take that for a $60 saving.

BlendJet 2 | Was $49.95, now $34.96 at Amazon

'The BlendJet 2 is a lightweight blender that's designed to take on the go,' says appliance expert, Millie. 'Unlike family-sized alternatives that need to be plugged in to work, you can take the BlendJet 2 with you to the office, to the gym, or even on a road trip. It won't replace a regular countertop blender, but given its low price and smart design, it would fit well into your daily routine.'

'The self-cleaning brush roll is a must have-feature for pet owners to prevent your filter from clogging,' says home tech expert, Dan. 'It's not just a bunch of marketing jargon: it genuinely stops hair from wrapping around the brush roll.' This isn't the most capacious vacuum on the market, but it's got ample space for apartments and it's great for a quick run-around.

One side is firmer and flatter for side and stomach sleepers. On the flip side, there's a gentle arch to cradle the head, neck and shoulders of back sleepers. However you sleep, the Symphony pillow helps to keep your spine straight.

As nights get darker, these solar lights are the perfect thing to brighten your backyard.' String your solar lights through tree branches for a whimsical glow or use them indoors as a form of fairy lights.
