I test appliances, and these are the 5 Prime Day kitchen deals worth buying — from $29.16

1. Aeropress Original Coffee Press | Was $39.95, now $29.16 (save $10.79)
Melissa (Real Homes' global editor-in-chief) and I are both *very* proud owners of the Aeropress Original Coffee Press. Seeing as commuting into the office takes at least an hour for both of us, it's nice to have a portable coffee maker for that pre-office perk. 

Buy it if:
If you're always on the go, but all of those pricey cups of coffee are making a dent in your bank balance.

Don't buy if:
You enjoy the process of making coffee at home and drinking it from your favorite cup. But, outside of the house, you're a Princess who'd prefer to pay someone for the service.

2. ZeroWater 12-Cup Ready-Pour 5-Stage Water Filter Pitcher | Was $39.99, now $31.49 (save $8.50)
There's no point hoping for filter-perfect glasslike skin if you're not doing the fundamentals and hydrating properly. I found this filter was the perfect way to hit my water targets. It comes with a TDS meter to check the total dissolved solids in your water — trust me when I say your H2O will taste a hella lot better than it does straight from the faucet.

Buy if: You're looking more raisin than grape rn.

Don't buy if: You're not prepared to invest in filters when they need replacing. You'll know because the jug starts smelling a bit fishy. Gross, but at least I told you prior.

3. COSORI Air Fryer Pro LE 5-Q | Was $99.99, now $75.93 (save $24.06)
Confession — I have two small air fryers on the go at the mo. This and the Ninja AF101 I've listed. This one is super chic and unlike most models, comes in a modern matte gray color, making it ideal for contemporary kitchens.

Buy it if: Visually, you want a sleek design (hello, tempered glass display) ergonomically-angled display for easy reading. If you're that guy or girl that cooks late at night, this 55-decibel air fryer won't wake up your roomies either if you're making a portion of midnight fries.

Don't buy it if: You've got your heart set on one of the big, more recognizable names and can make do with a 4-quart'er (see Ninja recommendation below).

4. Ninja AF101 air fryer | Was $129.99, now $99.99 (save $30)
Sure, it might not have drawers like the DualZone but if you want an awesome air fryer for a small apartment — go for this branded beauty! I concur with the reviews that say it's "easy to clean," "easy to use," mentions. It's currently under $100, so run — don't walk!

Buy it if: You want an attractive-looking air fryer with a high-gloss finish with a clear and simple-to-use display. 

Don't buy if: Your heart is set on a two-drawer air fryer, or you need a larger capacity appliance to feed a large family.

5. Ninja SF301 Speedi Rapid Cooker & Air Fryer | Was $199.99, now $129.99 (save $70) 
Your girl loves an air-frying appliance, OK. Except this one does sooo much more, in as little as 15 minutes. For example, it's possible to make creamy chicken alfredo pasta without using a pan — at all. Yup, you can literally dump the pasta and other ingredients straight in, with a shelf for approx four chicken breasts and it'll cook everything together and save on washing up.

Buy it if:
You have ample kitchen counter space to house this, but not enough room for lots of separate pots of pans.

Don't buy it if:
It looks like it's going to be too big for your worktop (it's chunky!).
