If you've ever attempted to make pesto without a food processor, a loaf of bread without a stand mixer, or whipped cream by hand, you know how important kitchen appliances are.
And those who have ever wandered around a Williams Sonoma also know how expensive they can be. Kitchen gadgets are proof that convenience can come with a high price tag. But instead of holding out for a Cyber Monday sale or hoping a loved one gifts you a brand new Vitamix for the holidays, you should head to Costco.
If you're renovating your kitchen and need a new fridge or oven, Costco's got you covered. But did you know that they also sell some of the most popular small kitchen appliances at a fraction of the retail price? That's right, our favorite bulk warehouse has everything from KitchenAid stand mixers to the TikTok-viral Ninja ice cream maker.
Having an arsenal of high quality kitchen tools is what will transform your weeknight dinners into restaurant-quality meals. And, thankfully, they don't cost an arm and a leg. We've rounded up some of the gadgets in our shopping carts that make baking, roasting, blending, and frying a breeze. Here are our favorite small kitchen appliances from Costco that deserve a spot on your kitchen counter.
Ninja CREAMi Ice Cream Maker
This viral machine is a game changer for anybody who loves ice cream. Simply pop your favorite ingredients in the freezer overnight, churn them in the CREAMi, and in minutes you'll have a luscious frozen treat. This machine makes everything from ice cream and sorbet to milkshakes and even smoothie bowls.
And the best part? It's $80 off at Costco!
FoodSaver Vacuum Sealing System
If you've never used a vacuum sealer before, you're missing out. This handy machine is a game changer if you hate freezer burn as much as we do. By removing the extra air in your plastic food storage bags, you can create a proper seal that'll keep those pesky ice crystals at bay.
It's also a great way to speed up the marinating process, since proteins get more exposure to the seasonings. You can grab this appliance at Costco for more than 50 percent off!
Ninja Foodi 6-in-1 2-Basket Air Fryer
If you know us at all, you know that we love air fryers (we've even written multiple books about them!). And this Ninja air fryer allows you to make entire meals with just one machine. This high capacity appliance can fit entire chickens and big batches of sides at different temperatures.
At Costco, you can buy this air fryer for a mere $170—$80 less than its retail price.
Vitamix FoodCycler
Whether you grow a few herbs on your windowsill or have a flourishing outdoor garden, you probably know how valuable compost can be. Composting your food scraps into ultra-nutritious soil can transform any rookie gardener into a certified green thumb.
This Vitamix FoodCycler churns your green waste into garden-ready compost with just the push of a button. Your kitchen trash will be cut in half, your garden will thrive, and the environment will thank you. And for a $50 discount at Costco, your wallet will thank you too.
Cuisinart 13-Cup Food Processor
Food processors are workhorses in any kitchen. This appliance can whip up fresh pie crusts without the mess, make fresh pesto in seconds, and even grate a mountain of cheese for your next nacho night. If you only have room for one appliance on your countertop, it should be this one.
Still need more convincing? It's 40 percent off at Costco!
Cuckoo Multifunctional Bread Maker
There are few things better than freshly baked bread. We may have had plenty of time to make sourdough from scratch in 2020, but now the process of kneading, rising, and shaping is too time consuming for most people. Unless you have this bread maker.
All you have to do is add in your ingredients, press the button, and let this Cuckoo bread maker do all the work for you. Your sandwiches will never be the same. Get your hands on this appliance for 30 percent off at Costco!
Vitamix E520
Vitamix is like the Ferrari of blenders. This high powered appliance can make the smoothest soups and the creamiest smoothies in a matter of seconds. There's a reason why people wait all year for these blenders to go on sale.
This high-end machine normally goes for a whopping $525. Costco's discount is steep already, but there's also a manufacturer's coupon that makes this blender almost 50 percent off!
Ninja Cold Press Juicer Pro
Drinking fresh pressed juice can become an expensive habit if you pay for it at a store. But if you invest in your own home juicer, you'll end up getting more nutrients and more money in your pocket. And for a steep discount at Costco, there's no better time to start than now.
Capresso Conical Burr Coffee Grinder
Die hard coffee geeks agree that a high quality grinder is essential for bringing out the beans' flavor. The best machines have burrs rather than blades, and this Capresso grinder allows you to customize the grind size for optimal extraction.
Bartesian Premium Cocktail Machine
If you want to enjoy the convenience of a Keurig when it hits five o'clock, you need this appliance. You can fill the reservoirs with your favorite spirits, add pre-made cocktail capsules, and press a button for a custom cocktail. This machine doesn't come cheap, but at Costco you can snag it for $70 off.
Weston 6-Tray Digital Food Dehydrator
Food dehydrators are great tools to have in your arsenal if you want to preserve your favorite fruits and vegetables. Professional chefs around the world rely on these machines, and now you can use them in your own kitchen!
Grab this machine at Costco so you can start making your own apple chips, fruit leather, jerky, and even homemade bouillon powder.
KitchenAid 6 Quart Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer
KitchenAid stand mixers are beloved for their variety of attachments, stunning colors, and their durability. If you're willing to make the hefty investment, these appliances can last for a lifetime. In fact, some people pass down their mixers for generations.
At Costco, you can get your own mixer for $150 off.
iSi Cream Whipper Dispenser
Whipped cream is the ultimate topping for cakes, ice cream, and fresh fruit. But whipping it by hand can be a pain and take a long time. Enter: the iSi. This gadget utilizes carbon dioxide cartridges to instantly whip heavy cream. Just fill the bottle with heavy cream and your desired flavorings, twist on the lid, and press the lever.
This professional-grade tool can cost up to $150, but at Costco you can snag it for just $74.
Cuisinart 4-Quart Deep Fryer
As much as we love using our air fryers, nothing replicates the crispy, crunchy decadence of deep frying. But if you're understandably afraid of filling a pot with oil and risking splatter and potential grease fires, you need a tabletop deep fryer.
For 30 percent off at Costco, you can make the crispiest fried chicken, golden brown french fries, and even homemade donuts.
Crafthouse by Fortessa Glass Smoking Box with Handheld Smoker
Cocktail nerds, this one's for you. Smoking spirits is a luxurious upgrade typically only seen at expensive craft cocktail lounges. But now you can experience the magic at your own home bar. This high-end gadget retails for over $300, but you can get it at a steep discount at Costco.
Frigidaire Ice Maker with Quiet Compressor
If you always forget to refill your ice trays, the most valuable shortcut in the kitchen is an ice maker. This convenient tool isn't just limited to expensive refrigerators anymore. Frigidaire's tabletop ice maker can make nearly 50 pounds of ice in just 24 hours. You can even customize the size of your cubes!
