Some of our favorite air fryers, vacuums, and air conditioners are at their lowest prices ever.

Labor Day weekend is here, which means holiday deals are coming in hot. From sneaker deals to fitness deals to luggage deals, there's a good chance that you can find a discount on just about anything on your shopping list over the holiday weekend. While we're excited to shop those new categories, we weren't a bit surprised to find some of the best Labor Day 2022 deals of all in a reliable place: your home.

Any sale season, be it Labor Day or Black Friday, small appliances are some of the most-discounted items across the internet. We were thrilled to find that some of our favorite air fryers, air conditioners, coffee makers, food processors, and robot vacuums are discounted to their lowest prices ever—beating last year's Black Friday deals (truly a feat considering inflation). The Ninja Air Fryer XL and iRobot Roomba i3+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum are both record-low prices right now, and the Whynter air conditioner unit that got us through the heat of summer 2022 is discounted 42% off for $350, a price that's sure to be obliterated when spring rolls around.

Ahead, shop the best small appliance Labor Day sales of 2022. Whether you're decking out your kitchen with the latest cooking gadget or even getting a head start on holiday gift shopping, these deals are too good to miss.

The Ninja Air Fryer XL is one of our favorite air fryers of 2022, and it is the lowest price we've ever seen during Walmart's Labor Day sale (about half the price of Amazon!). It boasts a larger-than-average 5.5-quart capacity, which can cook up to three pounds of food at a time. It has a wide cooking temperature range from 105°F to 400°F, which can be utilized for four different functions: air fry, roast, reheat, or dehydrate. When you're finished, you can pop the non-stick ceramic basket into the dishwasher. If you've never owned an air fryer, this is a great place to start.

Named the most advanced air fryer of 2022 by Men's Health editors, the Breville Smart Oven is actually so much more than that. It has a smart cooking system that uses algorithms to determine the "ideal cooking temperature" for various types of foods and claims to cooks food up to 30% faster thanks to a dual-speed convection fan. It's a one-and-done kitchen gadget with 10 different functions like bake, toast, slow cook, broil, air fry, and specific pre-set modes like bagel and pizza. If you're short on counter space and need one appliance that can do it all, the search ends here.

The Breville Fresh and Furious Blender lives up to it's name. If you're a smoothie person, consider this a more budget-friendly alternative to a Vitamix that can get you juice bar-quality smoothies at home every time. It has settings for both regular smoothies and green smoothies, both of which reviewers claim yield silky smooth results in as fast as one minute. Speaking of reviews, it as a near-perfect 4.7 star-rating on Amazon. It's easy to clean, too, since both the jar and lid are both dishwasher safe.

Bakers, consider this a run, don't walk situation: the never-on-sale KitchenAid Stand Mixer is 18%, or $60, off right now. That may not seem like much compared to the full price, but this is the biggest discount we've seen so far in 2022 (it rarely goes on sale — this was the same price as Black Friday 2021). Whether you've been eyeing one for yourself or are planning ahead for holiday gifting, this Labor Day deal is good to pass up. (Note that this is the KitchenAid Classic Series stand mixer which is slightly smaller than the more popular KitchenAid Artisan Series stand mixer.)

This is not your run-of-the-mill food processor. It's a Men's Health favorite, thanks to a 600 watt motor, 11 processing speeds for precise control, and seven attachment blades for different functions like grating, slicing, and kneading. Plus, it is also a fully-functioning juicer! The machine has an ultra-quiet motor, making it far less noisy than other food processors on the market. Reviewers claim that the Braun motor is more reliable than other brands—some have reported using the machine regularly for 6+ years with no issues so far. You can't go wrong with German engineering.

This unit was named the best overall standing air conditioner of 2022 because of a dual-hose system that helps to pump out cool air quicker and more efficiently. In other words, it's more powerful than many of the other options out there. With a BTU of 14,000 that'll cool down up to 500 square feet, it's a great option for any type of space, whether that's a large room or a small apartment. Bonus: It also works as a heater and dehumidifier (that's three appliances in one!). The heat of summer may be fading, but it'd be a good idea to pick this unit up now before it jumps back up to full price next spring.

Dyson vacuum sales are few and far between. One of their tried and true models, the Dyson Ball Multi-Floor Origin, is currently 37% off for a discount of $165, which is not to be missed because we rarely see Dyson vacuums discounted more than $100 off the original price (even during Black Friday or other major sale holidays). This vacuum cleaner effortlessly steers thanks to Dyson's signature ball axel and glides across different floor types with ease. It works best on carpet and laminate flooring, but it's great for wood floors, too.

Take 27% off the iRobot Roomba i3+, which brings the price to $399.00. This is the lowest price ever recorded for this Roomba model—another deal that's even cheaper than during Black Friday last year. For the robot vacuum fans out there, this deal is particularly noteworthy because it is a self-emptying model, so the vacuum comes with a docking station where it automatically disposes dirt and dust after each cleaning. Roombas with self-emptying stations like this one typically cost $550 and above.

Eufy’s Anker Cordless Handheld Vacuum is an incredibly convenient handheld vacuum that's great for apartment living and cleaning small spaces. It only weighs 1.2 pounds, is roughly the size of a wine bottle, and charges via USB. It has great suction that can easily tackle small messes, comes with a crevice tool and brush tool for cleaning pet hair, and a replaceable filter that can be washed in between cleanings. It's already affordable, and made even moreso by the current 48% off discount at Walmart.

For a simple and solid pot of drip coffee, look no further than Braun's BrewSense Drip coffee maker. Night-before programming, 12-cup capacity, and an automatic mid-brew pause that lets you start pouring before the whole pot is done ticks all the major boxes, making this one of the best drip coffee makers to buy in 2022. It doesn't have too many bells and whistles, but it's easy to use and comes from one of the most durable makers you'll ever buy (remember that Braun food processor?).

Espresso fans out there will know that it's rare to find an espresso machine under $200. This deal from Wayfair's Labor Day sale is great for those who want to learn how to be a barista at home. It has 15 BAR professional-grade pressure so you can make espresso that tastes like what you're used to getting at the coffee shop, and it is self-priming so you don't have to fret over the perfect water ratio. It's even compatible with single-serve espresso pods if you don't want to worry about the technicalities. It also has a milk frother so you can make cappucinos and lattes.

Bodum's electric kettle doubles as a stylish piece of kitchen decor while also being a functional tool for hot water whenever you need it. If you're a fan of pour-over coffee, even better. This kettle has a gooseneck spout so you're easily able to control the speed and consistency of water flow. It's finished with a cork handle and lid knob to protect your hands from the heat. Plus, it's has the Amazon's Choice seal of approval and a 4.7-star rating from nearly 10,000 reviews to back it up.

The Instant Pot Duo Plus is our top-choice Instant Pot for families. It has the ability to cook with both low or high pressure and has 9 preset cooking functions. It can pressure cook, slow cook, rice cook, steam, sauté, and also make cakes, eggs, and yogurt, plus a keep warm function and a sterilize function. Another key feature of the Duo Plus is an upgraded display that's bigger, bluer, and has brighter LED backlighting than other Instant Pots. The long and short of it: this one does it all.

The Cuisinart classic waffle maker makes getting the just-right waffle a simple task, and with consistency. It features five browning settings that are controlled with a sliding lever so you can get your ideal crispness (or lack thereof), and red and green indicator lights so you know when it's done. It also has a relatively slim design and can be balanced on it's side for easy cabinet storage between uses.
