Where to buy Candice King's kitchen appliances

We tracked down Candice King's kitchen appliances and they're pretty easy to snag online. In her video, she first shows off her Haden Heritage retro microwave available from Amazon. Just about everyone needs a microwave in their kitchen and this stylish option is a great pick. It has a large capacity and is easy to use with a pull-door handle. 

Candice also has a matching Haden Heritage retro toaster available from Amazon. This two-slice toaster is equally as attractive and even has a self-centering function to keep bread in the perfect toasting position. 

And of course, what would an easy dinner be without the Instant Pot Pro Crisp (also available on Amazon)? It's not a surprise Candice has this beloved appliance in her kitchen considering it has over 2k reviews on Amazon.
