You can tell I'm getting older because the one Prime Day deal I actually want to buy is for a smart kettle

I’ve been covering Prime Day all week, and while I’ve seen plenty of great deals there’s only one I’m actually considering buying for myself: this Ninja Perfect Temperature kettle which is a third-off for in Amazon’s sale (now £67.99).

Urgh, I know right? I’m reading more (non-fiction too), I’m listening to the radio, and now I’m getting excited by a discounted smart kettle. If there was ever a sign that my 30s are fast approaching, it’s this. But this deal is one of the best deals we’ve seen on this kettle all year – it was only £8-cheaper in January – and with its manual temperature controls it’ll be a much more precise and efficient water warmer than the blunt instrument I currently rely on.

So while you keep reading about this deal, or checking out this week’s other best Amazon Prime Day deals, I have a kettle to buy.

Amazon Prime Day deal: Ninja Perfect Temperature Kettle

So why do I want a smart kettle?

Beyond some, perhaps biological, British love for this kitchen staple, I have to admit this smart kettle won’t be used by me to make a traditional cuppa – unless it’s for my partner.

Instead this kettle will be used by me to brew matcha and fruity blends from my favorite tea shop – Brighton’s Bird & Blend if you’re interested – as well as coffee. While fruit tea does want boiling (100°C) water, matcha prefers 80°C, and coffee can land around 90-96°C.

WIth my current dumb kettle I have to try and guess when to stop the boil early to not overheat my matcha, or try and guestimate by adding some cold water into the boiling mixture to balance it out.

With this smart kettle I can always get the perfect temperature between 60-100°C by manually selecting what I want. What’s more it will hold its temperature, so rather than wasting energy boiling the pot every time I want to make someone a hot drink I can have this kettle simply keep the water warm so I can keep the drinks coming.

Yes, okay, it’s not the flashiest reason. But I’ve legitimately been eyeing this kettle up for months, and I’m finally ready to take the plunge on it.

The Ninja Foodi Max is the ultimate air fryer for many and it's now down to a great low price at Amazon. It offers six different functions, including Max Crisp, air frying, roasting, baking, reheating, and dehydrating. With two baskets, you get two independent cooking zones with the option to have them sync or match up, depending on your needs. Its extra large capacity is perfect for family cooking or batch cooking as it gives you plenty of room for a 2kg chicken or 1.4kg of fries in each compartment.

I've got one of those AnySharp knife sharpeners to keep my kitchen knives up to scratch but if you want to go all the way with a convenient knife block with a build-in sharpener then this is a great price for a premium set from Ninja that matches the previous record-low. You'll never suffer from dull knives again with this extremely handy kitchen gadget, with its five-piece set of stainless knives and included paring scissors.

The Ninja Blast Portable Blender is Ninja's best-selling personal-sized blender for smoothies, slushies, and shakes. It comes with a USB-rechargeable base, so you don't need to swap batteries every few months, and a leakproof lid with a carrying handle. Its convenient, grab-and-go design stood out to our reviewer, who gave it four out of five stars. This is the second-best price I've seen for the Ninja Blast after it fell to £31.99 at the end of last year.
