25 Top-Rated Kitchen Gadgets Our Customers Are Obsessed With 2025

In our testing the Roadie 24 Cooler impressed with insulation that keeps ice frozen for days and the Quicklatch™ system enables easy one-handed access. We also liked the compact design that fits behind car seats and stands standard wine bottles upright, and its 5-year warranty speaks to YETI’s confidence in durability. During our review we noted there’s no drainage valve so melted ice must be tipped out, and the handle can interfere with opening when the cooler is full, though it still earned an 8.5/10.

If you save bacon grease for frying, the Talisman Designs Bacon Grease Strainer is a handy, heat-resistant silicone catcher that withstood up to 500°F (260°C) in our testing and is dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup. We found its compact footprint is great for small counters, but the 1-cup capacity and noticeably slow filtering mean it’s best for light, occasional use rather than large batches. Because the silicone is flexible it can tip if not held steady, which contributed to its practical 6/10 score — safe and tidy, but limited in speed and volume.

If limited hand strength is your concern, the Jar Opener’s stable base pad did reduce effort in our testing and made stubborn lids easier to tackle. We found the metal teeth achieve a strong grip, but they can damage lids and make them unsuitable for reuse, and the overall shape didn’t feel ergonomic for every user. Dishwasher-safe for cleanup, it’s a useful specialized tool during our review but it earned a 6.5/10 because lid damage and comfort issues limit its appeal.

The Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer is compact and user-friendly, and in our testing it handled aftermarket bags well and tucked away easily on a crowded counter. During our review we ran into inconsistent vacuuming that sometimes required multiple attempts, and it lacks a seal-only mode so you can’t just close bags without a full vacuum cycle. With a 2-year warranty and straightforward operation it’s convenient for light sous-vide or storage needs, but reliability issues keep it at a 6/10 in our scoring.

The Evo Oil Sprayer is a reusable metal option that helps replace disposable aerosol cans, and our experience shows it’s durable for regular use. However, during our testing the spray was heavier and more concentrated than aerosols, which isn’t ideal for delicate greasing, and the bottle’s flared shape made thorough cleaning very difficult. Not dishwasher-safe, it’s eco-friendly and long-lasting but earned a 5.5/10 because cleaning and an overly forceful spray pattern limit its practicality.

The MEATER Pro Wireless Meat Thermometer sold itself in our testing with accurate temps, quick charging, and the freedom of a cable-free probe — great for grilling or smoking. We found app connectivity and limited Bluetooth range were frustrating at times, causing occasional disconnections that undermined its otherwise precise readings. Dishwasher-safe and rated for very high heat, it’s a sophisticated tool for serious cooks, but reliability hiccups and the higher price keep it at a measured 7/10 in our review.

Lightweight and collapsible, the L.I.Q Silicone Splatter Guard is a convenient splash shield made from 100% BPA-free, food-grade silicone that fits most 8- and 10-inch pans and folds flat for easy storage. In our testing we liked that it's dishwasher-safe and tolerates high heat (up to 232°C), but some units emitted a strong odor initially and the guard can trap moisture, affecting delicate sauces. With a modest 6/10 score, our experience shows it’s handy for occasional use, though durability concerns make it less suited to heavy daily cooking.

The Anova Culinary Nano Precision Cooker gives reliable sous-vide results with precise temperature control and an intuitive touchscreen that made setup straightforward in our testing. Its compact footprint is great for small kitchens, but we found the non-adjustable clamp didn’t fit every pot securely and the lower wattage means water takes longer to heat — plus it lacks Wi‑Fi for remote monitoring. Scoring a dependable 7/10, this nano model is a friendly, accurate entry-level sous-vide tool if you don’t need advanced connectivity.

For busy mornings the Hamilton Beach Breakfast Sandwich Maker heats up quickly and its nonstick plates make cleanup a breeze, so we found it perfect for grab-and-go breakfasts. During our testing the customizable ingredient sections let us stack eggs, cheese and many fillings, but it only fits round bread and eggs can drip out if overfilled. It lacks an on/off switch, which we marked as a downside, yet it’s still a solid 7.5/10 pick for anyone wanting fast, compact homemade breakfast sandwiches and includes a one-year warranty.

The Ninja Air Fryer & Toaster Oven DT501 is a versatile countertop workhorse with 10 cooking functions — from air fry to whole roast — that in our testing handled a wide range of recipes. We found it cooks many things well, but the air fry mode is significantly louder than competing models and baking can come out uneven unless you rotate trays or adjust settings. The oven’s large footprint and tricky cleanup (not dishwasher-safe) make it less suitable for smaller kitchens, so while it’s flexible we gave it a 6.5/10 in our review.

The Beast Mini Blender Plus packs a surprising 600W motor into a compact, stylish package that looks great on small counters and handled smoothies and light blending jobs well in our testing. We found its small footprint makes it ideal for tiny kitchens, but it struggles to crush ice evenly and plastic ridges trap food—cleaning was a persistent hassle despite parts being dishwasher-safe. Scoring a solid 7.5/10, it’s best for smoothie fans who prioritize design and power over heavy-duty crushing or large batches.

If you’re after a budget-friendly multi-tool, the Open Kitchen Tool combines eight essentials — jar opener, bottle opener, can opener and more — into a lightweight, compact plastic design that’s easy to store and dishwasher-safe. In our testing we found the comfortable non-slip handle helped reduce hand strain during use, but since it’s made entirely of plastic durability is a concern and the jar opener struggles with larger-top jars. Also, while priced at $3.99 the current total with shipping near $28 makes this a less compelling value; it scored 6.5/10 in our review.

Our experience shows the Spatty & Spatty Daddy set is a clever tool that can recover up to 25% more product from jars and bottles, helping cut waste and save money. We found the two sizes—6 and 12 inches—cover most container depths and are made from flexible, food-safe plastic that’s dishwasher-safe, though they’re not heat-resistant for cooking use. Some users in our testing reported the small Spatty’s handle felt short and occasional delivery errors left buyers missing a piece, but overall it scored a dependable 8/10 for reducing waste.

If you’re short on space or traveling, the Zyliss Easy Pull Food Processor is compact and lightweight — our testing shows it packs easily into small kitchens. We found the manual pull mechanism works fine for quick chopping but requires physical effort that may tire some users, and the blades are extremely sharp so handle carefully when cleaning — though parts are dishwasher-safe. Given its portability and a generous 5-year warranty it’s useful for travel or light prep, but our review rates it a practical 6/10 because manual operation limits everyday convenience.

In our testing the Fullstar Vegetable Chopper made quick work of potatoes, carrots and other veggies — the sharp blades and soft-grip TPU handle give you control and speed for everyday prep. We found it generally delivers clean chops fast, which helps meal prep, but the fine dicer blade can be tricky to clean and results vary with very soft or very hard produce. Scoring 8/10 in our review, it’s a time-saver for everyday kitchens, but inspect tight blade areas after use and use the dishwasher to ease cleaning.

For big batches the Custom 14 Cup Food Processor is a workhorse — its generous 14-cup capacity and 720-watt motor handled dough and large prep tasks with surprising quietness during our testing. We found the metal construction and 3-year warranty reassuring for heavy use, and cleanup is easy since many parts are dishwasher-safe, but the unit’s weight makes it less portable and the single power setting limits fine control while the rear feed tube can feel awkward. Scoring an impressive 8.5/10, it’s a top pick for cooks who value power and capacity.

The Red Cast Iron Tortilla Press uses recycled cast iron and a striking red enamel finish that resists rust while brightening a small kitchen. In our testing it’s compact and fine for occasional batches, but it only makes 4-inch tortillas and the lay-flat design means you must watch your knuckles. It’s not dishwasher-safe and, while useful for small jobs, it earned a 7/10 because it’s best suited for lighter use rather than heavy daily pressing.

For serious bakers, the KitchenAid Bowl-Lift Stand Mixer earned a top score in our testing — a solid 9/10 — thanks to its metal construction, quiet motor, and reliable performance that made doughs and batters effortless. We found it very sturdy and easy to clean (many attachments are dishwasher-safe), and its one-year warranty reflects KitchenAid’s confidence. During our review the heavier weight and stiff bowl attachment were the trade-offs: it’s less portable and takes space to store, and the premium quality comes with a higher price tag.

The Whisk Wiper PRO cuts down on batter mess and waste — our experience shows it cleans a whisk efficiently and keeps bowls tidier during mixing. That said, we found it only fits specific KitchenAid stand mixer models and can be fiddly to attach or remove, which reduces everyday convenience. Made of plastic and not dishwasher-safe, it’s a simple but niche gadget that scored 6.5/10 in our review: great for the right setup, but compatibility and attachment quirks hold it back.

The Baker’s Dusting Wand is a compact stainless-steel tool that delivered even, light dusting in our testing and proved sturdy for regular baking tasks. We found the twist-open mechanism simple to use and dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup, but its small capacity and shorter handle make it less comfortable or efficient for large batches. During our review it scored 6.5/10: excellent for precision dusting and durability, but not ideal when you need to cover larger quantities or prefer a longer reach.

The Barista Express pairs an integrated conical burr grinder with 16 grind settings, and in our testing it pulled consistently rich espresso shots for home baristas. We found the steam wand disappoints—taking up to a minute to heat and aerate milk—so steaming lattes can feel slow for multiple drinks. At about $552.96 with a one-year warranty, our experience rates it a practical 7/10: great for integrated grinding and solid espresso, but the slow wand and limited micro-adjustments keep it from being top-tier.

The 40 oz Travel Tumbler is built for on-the-go days: we found the ergonomic handle and car cup-holder compatibility make it convenient for commuting and long drives. During our review it was handy for large pours, but it didn’t keep drinks as cold as expected in hot conditions and it’s not intended for hot beverages, which limits versatility. Backed by a lifetime limited warranty, the tumbler scored 5.5/10 in our testing: great for volume and comfort but don’t buy it if long cold retention in heat is your top priority.

The OXO Brew Coffee Grinder impressed us with 15 grind settings and micro adjustments that delivered consistent medium-to-coarse results in our testing, while its UV-blocking hopper helps preserve bean freshness. During our review we noted the grinder is fairly loud and the grounds container doesn’t lock securely, which can lead to spills, plus the unit’s height may not fit under low cabinets. Overall it’s a capable grinder with thoughtful features and a 2-year warranty, earning a practical 7.5/10 for value and control despite some design limits.

The Ember Mug 2 is a premium pick if you want precise temperature control — in our testing it kept drinks warm for up to 1.5 hours on battery, which is fantastic for slow sippers. We found the ceramic build feels high-end, but the hand-wash-only care and $149.95 price make it a luxury rather than everyday mug. It scored 7/10 in our review: excellent for maintaining temperature and comfort, but the upkeep and cost are notable trade-offs.

The Tovolo Diamond Ice Molds make cocktails and iced coffee look instantly elevated with large, slow-melting diamond-shaped cubes that keep drinks from watering down quickly — a small presentation win we appreciated during our testing. Stackable silicone trays with snug lids save freezer space and cut spills, but we found ice can be stubborn to pop out without warm water and the fill line is hard to see, which led to accidental overfills. Scoring 6.5/10, they’re great for special occasions but add a little patience to your routine.
