Clearance Small Kitchen Appliances: Best Bargains for Your Home

Stepping up to the NutriBullet PRO gets you serious blending muscle in a small footprint. During our review, the 900W motor blitzed frozen fruit and fibrous greens, and the included 32 oz and 24 oz cups with to-go lids made batching and portability effortless. Cleanup stays painless since the cups and lids are top-rack dishwasher-safe. It's louder than many countertop models, and with only one speed and a blade gasket that can loosen over time, you'll want to monitor for leaks.

During our review, the Ninja Nutri-Blender Pro’s 1100-watt motor powered through ice and frozen fruit, turning out silky smoothies fast. The two 24 oz to-go cups make single-serve mornings effortless, and the digital controls are straightforward. Do note it runs loud, and a few buyers reported a burning smell or lid/cup warping after dishwasher cycles—hand-washing or top-rack only helps. At $99.99 on clearance, it’s a strong value if you want quick blends without the bulk of a full-size pitcher.

We were impressed by how much power the Magic Bullet NutriBullet NBR-0801 packs into a compact 24 oz, cupholder-friendly design. In our testing, the 600W motor handled frozen fruit and ice for quick smoothies and protein shakes, and the manual, no-frills operation keeps things simple. Cups and lids are dishwasher-safe, which makes daily cleanup easy. It can get noisy, and our experience shows the blade gasket may loosen with wear, with some users reporting long-term durability issues under heavy use.

If you’re tight on counter space, the Keurig K‑Slim’s narrow footprint and 46 oz reservoir make daily brewing easy without constant refills. It pumps out a cup in under two minutes in our testing, and the removable reservoir and drip tray simplify cleaning. Trade-offs: brewing temperature runs on the cooler side, there’s no strength or temperature control, and 12‑oz cups can taste watered down. For the best flavor, stick to 8–10 oz brews—and at $51, it’s a convenient, low-fuss single-serve pick.

During our review, the Crock-Pot Express Crock proved handy for set-and-forget dinners without crowding the counter. The 6-quart capacity is family-friendly, and programmable digital controls make Pressure Cook, Slow Cook, Steam, and Saute modes straightforward; the nonstick inner pot goes in the dishwasher for quick cleanup. Our experience shows slow-cooker results aren't as nuanced as a dedicated slow cooker. Also note a past safety recall on some 6-qt lids - confirm yours is updated - and plan to hand-wash the lid and components.

At this clearance price, the Ninja OL500/OL501 is a steal for anyone wanting one pot to do it all—pressure cook, air fry, steam, sauté, and more. The 6.5-qt ceramic-coated pot and crisp plate are nonstick and dishwasher-safe, and the SmartLid means fewer lid swaps. In our testing, it releases a lot of steam and the air-fry fan is on the louder side; slow-cook performance can be inconsistent. Still, the touch controls are intuitive, and its versatility can replace several single-use appliances.

For a do-it-all cooker at a clearance price, the Instant Pot Duo Plus shines. In our testing, the easy-seal lid and quick steam-release button made pressure cooking feel safer, while the 6-quart stainless steel pot handled family meals and the sous vide and yogurt modes expanded weeknight options. The 1000W digital controls cover Pressure Cook, Slow Cook, Steam, and Saute, and cleanup is a breeze with dishwasher-safe parts. Just note the top of the lid gets very hot, and it offers fewer presets than higher-end models.

During our review, the Instant Pot Duo 6-quart proved a weeknight workhorse, handling pressure cook, slow cook, steam, and sauté in one countertop unit. The stainless-steel inner pot is durable and browns nicely, though it’s heavier than nonstick alternatives. Our experience shows the steam release can be hot, so follow safe venting practices and use a long utensil or towel. With an intuitive touch panel and dishwasher-safe parts, cleanup is easy—and at $66.50 on clearance, it’s an excellent value for families and meal-preppers.

For Ninja Foodi users, this 5‑qt NanoCeramic inner pot is a practical spare that lets you prep rice in one pot while a sauce waits in the other. The PTFE- and PFOA‑free nonstick coating releases food easily, but our experience shows it lasts longer with silicone or wooden utensils and gentle hand-washing. It’s not dishwasher-safe, and some owners report warping or fit issues that trigger “add pot” errors on certain units—double-check compatibility. At $26.99, it’s a convenient, budget-friendly upgrade for batch cooking.

We found the BLACK+DECKER Crisp ’N Bake handy as a space-saving second oven, with room for six slices or a 12-inch pizza—perfect for weeknights. The included air fry basket and accessories expand your options, and the 1500W heater gets up to temp quickly. Dial controls are simple, though some users report the actual temperature running off from the set point, so an oven thermometer or time tweaks help. For $99.99, it’s a versatile toaster oven that can handle air fry, bake, and toast without crowding your counter.

Value seekers will appreciate how much the Cuisinart Air Fryer Toaster Oven can do for the price. In our testing, the 1800W heating delivered fast preheats and crispy air-fried snacks, and the 18 qt interior handled toast, nuggets, and small sheet-pan meals without hogging counter space. Digital controls are straightforward, and select accessories are dishwasher-safe for easier cleanup. Be aware it runs hot and can overcook if unattended, and our experience shows long-term durability and control reliability can be hit-or-miss.

This compact 0.7 cu ft BLACK+DECKER microwave fits tight counters, dorms, and offices, and the child lock adds peace of mind. The touch controls are straightforward, and at 700W it warms leftovers and mugs, though it’s slower and less even than higher-watt models in our experience. We need to flag reports of units failing early and multiple accounts of sparking or fires—use with caution and don’t run it unattended. If the $79.99 price is the draw, keep packaging and receipts handy and plan for simple, low-demand reheating.

For family-sized cooking, the Cosori Pro II’s 5.8-quart basket handled family portions and even a whole chicken in our testing. Smart control via the VeSync app plus Alexa/Google Assistant makes preheating and monitoring effortless, while the 1700W heater crisps quickly—just watch closely to avoid overcooking. Some users report wear on the basket handle and hardware over time, and dishwasher use has damaged baskets for a few, so hand-washing is safer. At $79, it’s a feature-packed air fryer with speedy, digital convenience.

For singles, students, or small kitchens, the Rise by Dash 2‑quart air fryer keeps the footprint and price low while handling quick snacks and sides. The 1000W heater and analog dials are easy to use but less precise and a bit slower, so expect to shake the basket and add minutes for crisp results. Some reviewers report uneven cooking on larger loads. On the plus side, the removable nonstick basket is dishwasher-safe, making cleanup painless—and at $49.99, it’s a solid starter air fryer.

For quick chops and small-batch prep, Black & Decker's 1.5-Cup One-Touch Chopper is a tidy helper. In our testing, the touch-control, one-touch operation made short work of garlic, onions, and herbs, and the removable parts popped into the dishwasher when we were done. The compact 1.5-cup bowl stores easily in small kitchens. Just know the 150W motor struggles with tougher ingredients, and the lid/locking mechanism can feel flimsy if handled roughly, so treat it gently for longer life.

The Cuisinart Mini Prep Plus is a countertop saver that excels at small jobs—think pesto, salsa, chopped nuts, or breadcrumbs. Its 3‑cup bowl and reversible stainless-steel blade switch between chop and grind, and most parts are dishwasher-safe for quick cleanup. With a 250W motor, it’s not meant for extended run times; during our review, we avoided continuous use to prevent strain or odors. It can be fussy about blade and lid alignment, but at $47.95, it’s a handy, affordable prep companion.

If eggs are a weekly staple, the Dash Rapid Egg Cooker makes meal prep painless. During our review, it steamed up to seven eggs at once with simple manual controls, and the included trays and accessories nest inside the unit for truly compact storage. Cleanup is straightforward since the non-electric parts are dishwasher-safe. Over time, our experience shows those parts can discolor or develop residue, so plan on occasional descaling or a deeper scrub to keep it looking fresh.
