As someone who’s been dealt several tiny kitchens over the years, I’ve had to be selective when it comes to small appliances. However, try as I might to cut them out, there are a few that every kitchen just has to have. In my case (and I’m sure many others), my coffee machine is something I’ve never been able to part with. The same goes for my blender; I can’t imagine not having the option to make a smoothie. I also recently added a toaster oven that’s quickly moved up on my essentials list.

Whether you have space to spare or want an appliance that’ll save you money in the long run, I scoured Walmart’s sale section to find all of the best deals on items like toaster ovens, espresso machines, and even an ice cream maker. (Yep, I’m talking about the mega-viral Ninja CREAMi. You’ll save so much cash not having to buy pints from the store!) These prices are hard to beat, so if you’re in the market for an upgrade, look no further.

After exploding in popularity this summer, Ninja’s ice cream maker has been flying off shelves, and I totally understand why, considering one of our editors swears by it. “I can prepare any of my favorite flavors ahead of time, store them in the freezer, and pop them out whenever an ice cream craving hits,” says Commerce Editor Britt. “It makes refreshing ice cream in under five minutes, which is so much better than my old-fashioned ice cream maker!”

At $230 less than usual, Bluebow’s espresso machine is a major steal. It’s equipped with a 20-bar high-pressure pump, which will produce the best possible brew, and it comes with a hot steam wand for the perfect froth. No more trips to the coffee shop are necessary!

Toaster ovens like this one will make your weeknight meals so much easier — especially when it has six functions. Instead of having to crowd multiple appliances on your counter like an air fryer, toaster, and even a microwave, this gadget grills, air-fries, bakes, roasts, toasts, and dehydrates.

Nespresso’s machine takes all of the guesswork out of making a cup of coffee, thanks to its capsule technology. At virtually the press of a button, you’ll have a beverage that could’ve come from your favorite coffee shop.

If you have yet to hop on the air fryer train, what are you waiting for? Ninja’s version is particularly great, with the ability to crisp and heat frozen foods and leftovers to perfection. Once you experience the results for yourself, you’ll never go back.

Fall baking season is almost upon us, so it’s time to get all of your gear in order. This stand mixer can hold up to 6.5 quarts, which you can stir at any of its 10 speeds. You don’t even have to limit yourself to just baking, either — mashed potatoes, scrambled eggs, and pasta are all fair game.

Unlike many appliances that aren’t exactly stylish, Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful kitchen line will actually enhance the aesthetic of your kitchen.

Another coffee maker that’ll give you a stellar cup without the hassle is Keurig’s K-Express brewer. Its slim, 6.5-inch-wide design will fit in a compact space, and after placing the pod inside, your cup will be ready to go in moments.

Smoothies, meal prep, salsas — blenders are an essential appliance. Hamilton Beach’s Wave Crusher has powerful blades and a 700-watt motor that handles ice and frozen ingredients with ease. The drip-free pour spout keeps things mess-free, to boot!

Why waste time chopping when you can just use a food processor instead? This 4.8-starred gadget also slices, shreds, mixes, and purées, and takes up minimal space in your cabinet when it isn’t in use (although you’ll probably use it daily).
