Epic Ninja Black Friday sale live at Amazon — 5 early deals I’d add to my cart now

Weekend brunch just got an upgrade. This vertical waffle maker has five shade settings so everyone gets their waffle exactly how they like it, plus a specialty setting for high-sugar batters like brownies (yes, really). The precision-pour cup takes the guesswork out of measuring, and audible alerts mean no more burnt disasters. Pair it with the Ninja CREAMi for the ultimate breakfast-dessert combo.

This single-serve brewer works with both K-Cup pods and coffee grounds, so you're not stuck with one system. Choose from 4 brew styles including a specialty setting for coffeehouse-style lattes and cappuccinos. The built-in frother handles hot or cold milk and folds away when not in use. With a 56 oz. removable reservoir, you're not constantly refilling, which is especially helpful when you're making multiple cups.

Save $20 on this classic, space-saving air fryer that delivers crispy results with up to 75% less fat. The 5-quart capacity fits 4 lbs of fries or 5 lbs of wings, and it goes from frozen to crispy in minutes. And the nonstick basket cleans up easily, an added bonus for when you're tired from hosting.

If your oven is already spoken for during the holidays, this 8-in-1 multi-cooker is your new best friend. You can sear proteins and sauté vegetables directly in the pot, then pop the whole thing in the oven (it's safe up to 500°F) for a crispy finish. The 8.5-quart capacity is massive and it replaces 14 cooking tools, which means less clutter and more counter space.

At $90 off, this is the biggest saving in the roundup, and for good reason. The 1500-watt motor crushes ice to snow in seconds, which means frozen drinks without any chunky bits. The 8-cup food processor tackles everything from chopping vegetables to mixing up dough in 30 seconds. Plus, you get two to-go cups for when you need to take your smoothie and run.
