Even for the most stir-crazy, the past year has undoubtedly changed people’s relationship to the home. More than just a place to hang your hat, it’s somewhere you can—and should—make your own sanctuary with just a few simple upgrades. Prime Day is a great day to take advantage of all the things that can make your space and your kitchen even better, especially now that life is returning to semi-normalcy. Now that everybody can have friends coming through their front doors again, what better way to celebrate than by hosting a dinner party and showing off some new stuff? Whether you’re looking to cook up the most delicious meals with a sous vide machine or to luxuriate in some excellent bath towels, these are the home and kitchen deals worth snatching up today.

Read our review of the best dish rack.

Doing the dishes doesn’t have to give you dish-dain. With a good dish rack, you can keep your cutlery and cute cups organized and chip-free. Our top pick, the KitchenAid Full Size Dish Rack, is big enough to hold dishes for a family of four, sturdy enough to keep them safely inside, and sleek enough to sit on your kitchen counter. It was briefly out of stock over Prime Day earlier, so you may wanna rack up this deal before it’s gone again.

Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000
Deal price: $470; street price: $640
Read our review of the best bidet toilet seat or washlet.

Bulk buying toilet paper is so 2020. A bidet is not only a more luxurious experience for your rear end, it’s also better for the environment, eliminating paper waste. The Bio Bidet Bliss BB-2000 has myriad features, including a massage, an auto wash, and something called a bubble infusion. While we found this bidet to be too pricey during our tests and research, now’s a good time to snag it for over 25% off. So let this do some booty work—your backside will thank you.

Deal price: $105; street price: $140
Read our review of the best ebook reader.

Arthur taught us from a young age—reading is cool! If your bookshelves have begun to bust with books, an Amazon Kindle Paperwhite Ebook can keep your shelves from overflowing. Choose from 8 or 32 GB storage options to keep your fiction (or nonfiction) faves. Amazon has a catalogue of books to buy, or you can borrow from your local library a la Arthur. Prime Day tends to be the best time to scoop one of these up, so you don’t wanna miss this opportunity.

Read our review of the best water flossers.

Flossing isn’t just a 2016 dance craze—it’s something your dentist desperately wants you to do more. That little spool of minty fresh floss is likely hogging precious counter space in your bathroom that could house a water flosser. The Waterpik Aquarius Water Flosser is our top pick, and not only did it make our mouths feel the cleanest during testing, it also allows you to customize your experience with different pressures. We haven’t seen a deal on this since Black Friday, so this is a good opportunity to heighten your dental hygiene.

Deal price: $700; street price: $800
Read our review of the best pellet grill.

If you’re serious about making slow-smoked barbecue at home, it may be time to invest in a pellet grill. The Traeger Pro 575 is a well-built electricity-powered smoker that’ll let you make barbecue with a lot less guesswork and babysitting than more traditional methods require. The particularly fuel-efficient Traeger is convenient for those who want perfectly tender barbecue every time.

Utopia Bedding Comforter Duvet Insert (King)
Deal price: $30; street price: $45
Read our review of the best comforter.

If you’re not down with down in your bedding, a down alternative may be your best option. Our also-great pick, the Utopia Bedding Comforter Duvet Insert, may not be as luxurious as some of our other comforter picks, but we found it to be breathable, lofty, and more cost-efficient than other options during our testing and research. At $30, this is the lowest price we’ve seen for this already affordable duvet insert.

Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520
Deal price: $80; street price: $100
Read our review of the best sunrise alarm clock.

Whether you’re a morning person or not, alarms are often obnoxious. Instead of waking you up with an annoying ringtone, the Philips SmartSleep Wake-Up Light HF3520 can help you get out of bed by simulating a sunrise right in your room. The light starts off as a low, red glow and grows over time into a much brighter, white light. This alarm clock also comes with a backup alarm sound and a backup power source just in case. This 20%-off deal is the best we’ve yet seen on the SmartSleep Wake-Up Light.

Deal price: $20; street price: $25
Read our review of the best grill tools and accessories.

Backyard parties and barbecues don’t have to be all about the meat—a good grilled vegetable can be the star of any meal if cooked well. The Cave Tools Vegetable Grill Basket, our runner-up grill baskets pick, performed nearly identically to our top pick during testing. The only downside is its narrower frame, but that may be better for people with smaller grills. We haven’t seen a deal on the Cave Tools Vegetable Grill Basket in two years—save yourself $5 now, and you can serve yourself something yummy soon.

Blueair Blue Pure 311 Auto Air Purifer
Deal price: $168; street price: $240
Read our review of the best air purifier.

Air purifiers tend to be a hot topic among Wirecutter staffers and shoppers alike. Be they for clearing the air of viral particles or keeping your home clear of allergens, air purifiers are quickly becoming a staple in home health and comfort. The Blueair Blue Pure 211+ is great for larger, open rooms, while the Blueair Blue Pure 311 is perfect for smaller spaces. Both clear the air of smoke and other pollutants and are quiet while doing so. And the 211+ and the 311 are more than just efficient—they’re aesthetically pleasing, too. There hasn’t been a price drop on the 211+ since November, and both machines have higher running costs over the long term, so now is a great time to save up front.

OXO Brew 8 Cup Coffee Maker
Deal price: $145; street price: $170
Read our review of the best drip coffee maker.

A cup of coffee can make or break your morning. The OXO Brew 8 Cup Coffee Maker is a more compact cousin to our top pick that brewed excellent coffee in our tests. It lacks an auto-brew function, but the interface is simple and intuitive, making it easy to hop out of bed, press a button or two, and let the machine work its magic. The deal price of $145 shows up at checkout, so hit “Add to cart.”

Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry Food Storage Container (16-Cup)
Deal price: $12; street price: $20
Read our review of the best dry food storage containers.

For anyone looking to bring some order to their kitchen, the sturdy Rubbermaid Brilliance Pantry Food Storage Containers are exactly what you’re seeking. A good set of dry food storage containers will not only keep your ingredients fresh longer but will also make your cupboards and counters tidy (I nabbed these myself this morning). The Rubbermaid containers are best in class: In our tests, they held up through multiple drop tests and trips to the dishwasher—plus, the lids are watertight, and the containers have a narrow design that lets them stack efficiently in kitchen cabinets.

Stasher Reusable Silicone Bag Multi-Pack

If you’re still using zip-top plastic bags to save your leftovers, it’s time to modernize. Stasher Reusable Silicone Bags are perfect for keeping dried herbs in the freezer, housing raw almonds, or just bringing your lunch to work. The Stasher Bags are silicone, which means they’re a great choice if you’re looking to minimize your environmental footprint and reduce plastic waste. Plus, they seal securely, and they’re durable, dishwasher and freezer safe, and easier to clean than others we tested. Just avoid storing liquids in them—the silicone can retain flavors.

Toshiba ML2-EM25PAE Microwave (Black Stainless Steel)
Deal price: $80; street price: $90
Read our review of the best microwave.

Most microwaves are pretty much the same, but if your countertops are tight on space, the Toshiba ML2-EM25PAE Microwave in black stainless steel is both good-looking and extremely compact. It has a door handle—surprisingly, this was a feature that many other microwaves we tested didn’t offer—which makes it easier to open than push-button microwaves. The best feature is that this microwave can be muted, which is excellent for heating up late-night cravings without waking up the rest of the house. It doesn’t offer a sensor for auto-heating modes, but it does heat food quickly and pretty evenly.

If you’re having people over for the first time in months, you’ll probably want to impress them with the food. How about an immersion circulator that heats the water and maintains the temperature evenly? Our favorite sous vide circulator, the Anova Precision Cooker Nano isn’t simply extremely accurate—it’s also relatively small, and it’s suited to work within a huge range of containers (there are some other sous vide machines that require their own vessel). Plus, it’s quiet, and its intuitive touchscreen interface is user-friendly—you can use a Bluetooth connection to set and control the cooker from your phone, or you can use the controls on the machine instead. If you’re looking to perfectly poach an egg or make shockingly moist chicken breast, look no further.

Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Hub and Controller
Deal price: $17; street price: $30
Read our review of the best smart garage-door opener controller.

A smart garage-door opener controller is a confusing term for “a small device that connects to your garage-door opener and allows you to open and close your garage door from anywhere.” The Chamberlain MyQ Smart Garage Hub and Controller, available at a low price today, features a small, sleek design—especially compared with other smart garage-door opener controllers we tested—that’s super easy to install and the simplest to configure and use via Bluetooth. It allows you to open your garage door for deliveries, close it from the road if you’ve forgotten, or let in a friend who’s picking something up. It’s also compatible with most garage door openers, and it has an integrated camera for more security.

EufyCam 2 Pro Wireless Security Camera (2-Pack)
Deal price: $245; street price: $350
Read our review of the best outdoor security camera.

An outdoor security camera gives you peace of mind if you’re away from home. For an added layer of security, you should pick a good one. The EufyCam 2 Pro is a great system for anyone who wants a low-maintenance wireless option—it has the best rechargeable battery of all the cordless options we tested (we think it should last around four to six months with regular use), and though it can’t identify action as effectively as some of the other cameras we tested, it does deliver a startlingly good image, as well as HomeKit support and a variety of options for storing footage.

Instant Pot Duo Nova 6-Quart Pressure Cooker
Deal price: $60; street price: $100
Read our review of the best electric pressure cooker.

If you don’t absolutely love toiling over a stove in preparation for dinner—or if you’d rather just set and forget a machine until it’s time to eat—the Instant Pot Duo Nova 6-Quart Pressure Cooker is ready to become your new favorite cooking tool. It’s great for long and slow cooking, but it’s also versatile enough to pressure-cook, sauté, and steam. This model is a variant of Wirecutter’s top-rated electric pressure cooker (the Instant Pot Duo), with a few added bells and whistles, such as a slightly more streamlined interface, a larger LCD screen, and a lid that seals automatically when closed. The 6-quart model should be good for a party or a family (or both).

It’s finally summertime. Invite people over for dinner on the back patio if you have one, and be sure to leave the Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Outdoor Plug outside (just because you can). The weatherproof Kasa smart outlet allows you to turn on your patio lights or outdoor electronics from your phone (you can automate the scheduling, too), and it’s built to survive the elements—everything from blistering summer heat to snowstorms. You can control each of the two outlets available on the plug independently via the app or Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa, too.

ThermoWorks Thermapen Mk4 Meat Thermometer
Deal price: $74; street price: $105
Read our review of the best meat thermometers.

The ThermoWorks Thermapen Mk4 Meat Thermometer is a godsend if you’re ever worried about serving your family or friends undercooked meat and you care deeply about speed, or if you have a cooking project that demands to-the-degree accuracy. This instant-read meat thermometer is our upgrade pick, and it’s favored by professionals who need precision. Totally buttonless and completely automatic, the thermometer powers on when you pull out the probe, and its backlight and rotating screen are motion-activated, too. The thermometer’s especially long probe means that not only are you saving your fingers from getting too close to the heat, but the temperature reading is coming from deep within the heart of your food, too.

USA Pan Aluminized Steel 9x2 Inch Round Layer Cake Pan
Deal price: $11; street price: $15
Read our review of the best cake pans.

Few baking disasters are worse than turning out a cake layer that won’t … turn out. You should always grease and flour your cake pans, but a good pan will help ease some of the sticking, too. The USA Pan Aluminized Steel 9x2 Inch Round Layer Cake Pan produces a golden crust, doesn’t stick, and is easy to clean—it has a slightly corrugated bottom that gives it an edge against the nonstick competition, as it creates less surface for your cakes to stick to. Plus, it’s durable—and because it’s pretty inexpensive, especially at this deal price, buying more than one (which you should of course be doing for layer cakes) won’t break the bank.
