There’s a very specific thrill to the Wayfair Way Day sale that hits different when you spend half your time in a professional kitchen and the other half writing about kitchen things like it’s your job. (Because it is.) I have cooked in multimillion-dollar estates and on rusty grills behind Texas barns. I’ve diced shallots for wealthy New Yorkers who think salt is “spicy,” and I’ve tested cookware worth more than my rent. So, when a massive kitchen and appliance sale rolls around? My calendar is cleared and my inner private chef is…frothing.
Way Day, which runs April 26–28, is like Black Friday’s cooler, faster cousin — shorter window, hotter steals. This year, Wayfair went all in on kitchen gear that’ll make your life look like a Nancy Meyers movie and function like a Gordon Ramsay set. Whether you’re in it for the aesthetics or the guts, there’s something here that will make your kitchen (indoors and out) feel like a fever dream of competence and style.
If you’ve ever wanted a pizza oven on your patio table, an espresso machine that basically doubles as European citizenship, or ice that comes in bougie little nuggets instead of basic cubes, this is your moment. Below, I’ve rounded up the best kitchen and appliance deals from Way Day that are chef-tested, editor-approved, and ready to run through your budget in the best way possible.
Nine speeds, a snap-on case for attachments (no more rogue beaters in the drawer), and enough motor power to whip cream or beat batter without sounding like a dying lawnmower. I use this for everything from cakes to mashed potatoes, and the slow-start feature means I no longer end up wearing flour like I lost a food fight. It’s compact, mighty, and weirdly satisfying to use.
Bluetooth connected and faster than the original, the Opal 2.0 pumps out nugget ice that looks and feels like culinary wealth. It has a sleek, modern design with a side tank for extra capacity and an app that lets you schedule ice production. This is the ice of yacht parties and good decisions.
Holds 18 wine bottles and 55 cans, with separate temp zones so your Chablis and your Diet Coke can live in harmony. The LED lighting is sexy, the digital control panel is intuitive, and the stainless steel trim makes it look custom. Essential if your idea of self-care is a chilled white and alone time.
With a 15″ cordierite stone and insane heat retention, this portable oven bakes pizzeria-quality pies with that crispy-leopard-spotted crust we all chase. It’s gas-powered, easy to set up, and ideal for anyone who’s ever been disappointed by takeout. Which is to say: all of us.
A professional-grade workhorse made from solid maple with a juice groove on one side and a flat surface on the other. It’s heavy enough to stay put but not so thick you need help moving it, and it protects your knives better than plastic ever could. There’s a reason this is the board used in actual restaurant kitchens. It’s that guy.
The OG Italian stovetop espresso maker that gives me a reason to romanticize my 6 am existential dread. It brews rich, bold espresso in minutes without any cords or pods, and it’s made of aluminum for even heat distribution. I stan it for its durability, timeless design, and the fact that it’s literally been in use since 1933 and still slays. Makes me feel like a 1950s mistress with secrets.
Slow juicing equals more nutrients and less froth, and this model is shockingly easy to disassemble and clean (unheard of in juicer world). The reverse function prevents clogging, it has separate pulp and juice containers, and it doesn’t scream like a blender at 8 am. I love this for my celery juice era, and I especially appreciate how it doesn’t require a therapist’s salary to own.
Sleek, stainless, and not some clunky plastic nightmare. It gets every last drop of juice with minimal wrist strain, and the ergonomic handles mean you’re not squeezing for dear life. I use it almost daily for salad dressings, cocktails, or a dramatic little finish over roasted veg. It’s dishwasher-safe, doesn’t rust, and doesn’t require any upper-body strength.
This dinnerware is microwave-safe, dishwasher-safe, and somehow manages to be both cottagecore and grown-up. The floral motif is cheerful without veering into grandma territory, and the porcelain is chip-resistant, which is key because I have clumsy houseguests and occasionally throw plates (in a metaphorical sense). It’s the kind of set that makes leftovers feel elegant.
These dishes are the gold standard for oven-to-table realness. They retain heat like a clingy ex and distribute it evenly, which means perfect lasagnas, gratins, and even cobblers. The porcelain enamel glaze resists scratches and stains, and the three sizes are perfect for big-batch hosting or solo girl dinners that “accidentally” last four days.
Uniform grind size, customizable settings, and a large bean hopper that doesn’t require constant refilling. This burr grinder doesn’t overheat the beans, so your coffee retains its full flavor profile. It also holds enough grounds for a whole pot, which is ideal for mornings when you need to caffeinate your way out of an existential crisis.
This set heats evenly, doesn’t warp under high temps, and the ceramic nonstick is PFAS-free and shockingly easy to clean. I’ve seared steak, simmered sauces, and even done a test scramble without butter — and it passed. It’s oven-safe up to 500°F and induction-compatible, which is code for “you’ll never outgrow this set.”
This isn’t just a juicer. It’s an assertion of taste. With a whisper-quiet motor and auto-start/stop operation, it makes freshly squeezed orange juice feel like foreplay. The die-cast aluminum body and chrome accents make it sexy enough to live on your counter permanently, and the anti-drip spout means no sticky countertops. It’s expensive-looking because it is.
Thick glass, vertical ridges, and a satisfying hand feel — these highballs feel like something Don Draper would cheers with, except you’re drinking ginger beer because you’re on your third cleanse. Dishwasher safe, stackable, and aesthetically pleasing as hell. I have no notes, only thirst.
This outdoor stove isn’t playing. It’s got 225,000 BTUs of power, three independent burners, and side shelves that fold down when you need more space to yell at your mise en place. The windscreen keeps flames steady even on breezy nights, and I’ve done everything on it from crawfish boils to wok-fried rice with zero regrets and many compliments.
These stemware glasses are designed to complement a wide variety of wines (red, white, rosé), and the shape actually enhances the aroma and flavor. They’re thin enough to feel fancy, but durable enough to survive my dishwasher and a few clumsy exes. The best part? They look way pricier than they are.
This is the machine I recommend to anyone who wants barista-level espresso at home but refuses to remortgage their kitchen. It has a 15-bar pump, a built-in frother, and a slim profile that doesn’t dominate your counter. The espresso it makes is rich and layered, and the process makes you feel like someone who reads Italian newspapers for fun.
Don’t let the compact size and pretty color fool you — this 24,000 BTU grill gets hot fast, retains heat like a boss, and has cast iron grates that deliver killer sear marks. The built-in thermometer and cabinet storage are clutch, and it wheels easily from your patio to your photo shoot, because we all know you’re gonna want to flex it on Instagram.
Each knife is specifically designed for different textures — soft brie, crumbly blue, hard cheddar — and they’re all forged from stainless steel with ergonomic handles. This set makes you look like a cheeseboard savant even when all you’ve got is a Trader Joe’s block and a dream.
These knives are sharp out of the box and stay that way with proper care. You get everything — chef’s knife, bread knife, utility knife, and steak knives — all housed in a sleek block that doesn’t scream “starter kitchen.” Triple-riveted handles make them sturdy AF, and the price point is honestly rude for how well they perform.
Elegant and a little extra, these coupés are ideal for champagne, cocktails, or the kind of petty gossip that deserves its own glassware. The angled bowl makes them stand out, and they’re dishwasher safe so you’re not sobbing over hand-washing stemware the morning after.
I use these for flour, sugar, oats, and pretentious snacks like goji berries. The borosilicate glass is thick and heat-resistant, the lids seal tight, and they stack like a dream. Bonus: they make your pantry look like it belongs to a woman who drinks lemon water at dawn and owns multiple sports bras.
This 28.7 cu. ft. fridge is a cavernous, stainless steel showpiece. Fingerprint-resistant, Wi-Fi enabled, and designed with customizable drawers and humidity-controlled crisper bins, it’s for people who think fridge organization is an art form (it is). It even has built-in water filtration and door alarms. Obsessed.
