10 Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Ninja Deals (October 2026 Sale)

The Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is the one to watch in Amazon’s Prime Big Deal Days sale this October, and it earns the top slot on evidence rather than novelty. It holds a 4.7 rating across more than 59k owner reviews and packs four cooking programs into a 4-quart ceramic basket that goes in the dishwasher. If you are only buying one thing from this list, start there.

Two alternatives suit different households. The Ninja BL660 Blender is the pick for anyone who blends in volume, with a 72-ounce pitcher and two to-go cups, while the Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill delivers real char marks at 500°F indoors for people who want grill flavour year-round. The event itself runs October 6-7, 2026, and most offers need a Prime membership, which a free trial counts as.

Our Top 3 Picks for Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Ninja Deals

Each of these three is a genuinely different appliance rather than a variant of the same box. One cooks with hot air, one chops and whips, one presses food against 500°F metal, and buyers tend to regret stretching for the wrong one of the three more often than they regret the model they picked.

Best Amazon Prime Big Deal Days Ninja Deals Compared (2026)

Read that table as three separate shops. The air fryers and grills compete on capacity and countertop footprint, the blenders compete on motor wattage and control style, and the frozen treat makers compete on how much work you want to do before the first spoonful.

How We Chose

We compared the specifications that actually separate these appliances: capacity, wattage, temperature range, program count, dimensions, weight and warranty terms. Alongside that, we read the volume of owner reviews and ratings attached to each listing. Every figure in this list was checked against the product data on October 2026, and offers change through the event, so treat the buttons as the live reference.

1. Ninja AF101 Air Fryer: Best for First-Time Buyers

Verdict: the least risky first Ninja purchase, and the one most households end up buying a second basket for years later.

What carries it is a plain combination of numbers. A 1550-watt motor and a 105°F to 400°F range cover air fry, roast, reheat and dehydrate, the 4-quart ceramic-coated basket is listed as holding 2 pounds of fries, and both the basket and the crisper plate go in the dishwasher. It replaces a microwave on the counter rather than demanding new space.

For a household of one to three people that sizing is the sweet spot. Weeknight fries, reheated chicken that stays crisp instead of going soft, and a dehydrate mode that turns apples into chips without a second appliance. Several reviews mention a brief plastic smell on the very first run, which fades after a couple of cycles.

Owners do report one consistent trade-off: the basket interior is round even though the outer body is rectangular, so wide flat items like bacon have to be cut in half to lie flat. The handle is fixed to the drawer too, which makes washing the whole thing in one go a little harder than it sounds.

The Ninja Foodi DZ201 DualZone is the step up, and the step up is a second basket and a 450°F ceiling rather than better food. Against the Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill, this one is an air fryer only, with no contact grill plate. If you want grill marks, look past it; if you want fries, chips and reheat, it is hard to argue with.

It runs hotter than some buyers expect, and a good number of them cap cooking temperature at 350°F for delicate items. The listing carries a one-year manufacturer warranty.

2. Ninja BL660 Blender: Best for Big Batches

Owners report thousands of daily smoothies from this one, and the review count reflects that. The 1100-watt motor and Total Crushing blade system handle ice and frozen fruit without chunks, and the 72-ounce pitcher carries a 64-ounce maximum liquid fill for meal prep or a party batch.

The two included 16-ounce to-go cups with spout lids are the quiet hero. You blend directly in the cup, drink from it, and put a lid on the rest, so there is no decanting step and no second pile of glasses to wash. Cleanup is a rinse, a soap drop and a short blend, then the pitcher, cups and blade assembly go on the top rack.

The main thing reviewers grumble about is volume, not performance. There is no sound dampening in the housing, so a frozen-fruit blend is loud in a small kitchen. The stacked blades are also genuinely sharp, which matters if you wash by hand rather than by machine.

Compared with the Ninja BN701 Blender, this is the cheaper and slightly smaller option: 1100 watts against 1400, and no Auto-iQ programs. The BN701 is the better pick if you want the machine to decide the pulse pattern for you; the BL660 is the better pick if you like manual control and want fewer buttons. Against the Ninja Nutri-Plus BN301, the difference is scale, with a 72-ounce pitcher versus three 20-ounce cups.

At 2 litres and BPA-free plastic, this weighs 7.6 pounds and it does not do hot soup the way some higher-watt blenders do. Replacement to-go cups and lids are sold separately.

3. Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill: Best for Char-Grilled Flavour

This is a joint highest-rated appliance on the list at 4.8 stars, and the rating reflects a specific thing: searing. A 1760-watt cyclonic system pushes 500°F air through a 10 by 10 inch PTFE and PFOA-free ceramic-coated grate, and buyers describe genuine grill marks on steaks and burgers without leaving the kitchen or lighting a charcoal bag.

The box also covers the rest of the meal. Three interchangeable vessels come with it, a char-grill grate, a 4-quart crisper basket and a 6-quart cooking pot, and the unit runs grill, air fry, roast, bake and dehydrate programs. Frozen steaks and chicken finish char-grilled in under 25 minutes, so thawing is optional rather than essential.

Consider where it will live before you order it. At 20 pounds and 14.9 by 14.9 by 11 inches, this is one of the bulkiest items in the group, and owners mention the hood has to stay open after cooking so the unit can cool quickly. That is a real cost in a small kitchen, not a nitpick.

Set against the Ninja Sizzle GR101, the Sizzle is lighter at 7.8 pounds and swaps a flat-top griddle plate in for pancakes, while the AG301 stays a proper grill with a crisper basket and a cooking pot. Against the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer, the AG301 heats to 500°F and presses food against metal, so sear and char are the reason to choose it.

All three included components are nonstick and dishwasher safe, which is unusual for a contact grill and removes most of the usual cleanup argument. The listing carries a one-year limited warranty, and the grill plate, basket and pot all use PFAS-free and PFOA-free coatings.

4. Ninja Foodi DZ201 DualZone: Best for Two Dishes at Once

Skip it if you only ever cook for one person. The reason to stretch here is the second basket. Each 4-quart zone has its own fan and heater, so you can run chicken wings at 450°F on one side while vegetables roast at 400°F on the other, and Smart Finish is programmed to stop both when they are actually done rather than when the timer says so.

Match Cook does the opposite trick: it copies one basket’s settings to the other so a full 8 quarts cooks evenly. That is the mode for a family batch of fries, and the capacity figure of 8 quarts is listed as up to 4 pounds of fries or wings. Six programs are on board: air fry, air broil, roast, bake, reheat and dehydrate.

Owners treat this as the weeknight workhorse, and the reservations are about room rather than results. At 17.9 pounds and 13.86 by 15.63 by 12.4 inches, it needs more counter width than most people expect, and owners are advised to measure first. A batch of 8 quarts is comfortable for a family of four but gets crowded beyond that.

The gap against the AF101 is a second basket, a 450°F ceiling instead of 400°F and finish times that sync themselves, set against more than twice the countertop footprint. Against the Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill, it gives up contact grilling entirely in exchange for cooking two dishes side by side. Choose on that single question.

Both baskets, both crisper plates and any accessory inserts are top-rack dishwasher safe, though optional racks and extra inserts are sold separately. There is also no audible beep to remind you to shake or turn food mid-cook, so plan on checking the baskets yourself.

5. Ninja BN701 Blender: Best for One-Touch Drinks

The step up from Ninja’s entry blenders is the 1400-watt motor, up from 1000 watts on the original Professional, plus three Auto-iQ programs that pulse, blend and pause on a timed pattern. Owners consistently name those two upgrades as the reason to pay more than the Ninja BL660 Blender costs.

Practical details are good. The pitcher is the same 72 ounces with a 64-ounce maximum liquid fill, and the fill line is clearly marked. The pitcher, lid and stacked blade assembly are all top-rack dishwasher safe.

Where it costs you is height. At 17.5 inches tall and 6.75 by 9 inches across, the BN701 will not fit under a low cabinet the way the BL660 often will, so measure the gap above your counter before deciding. It weighs 8.1 pounds, so it is not a one-handed carry either.

Compared with the BL660, the choice comes down to control style. The BL660 gives you three manual speeds, a pulse and a dedicated single-serve function, and it is smaller. The BN701 gives you a stronger motor and three presets that run themselves. Compared with the Ninja Nutri-Plus BN301, the BN301 wins on footprint and loses on everything else.

Three Auto-iQ programs is a short list, and outside those the manual options are four speeds plus pulse. The BL660 is the lighter and shorter option; this one wins on power and presets.

6. Ninja SLUSHi FS301: Best for Frozen Parties

The SLUSHi’s whole argument is that you do not need ice. RapidChill Technology spins an auger around a cooling cylinder, freezing the liquid evenly around it, so a slush comes out of wine, coffee, soda, juice or chocolate milk without a bag of ice diluting it. The 88-ounce vessel is listed at seven or more servings in a single run.

Five preset programs cover the usual drinks, and a temperature control dial sets the output thicker or thinner. The built-in WhisperChill compressor keeps a finished batch at texture for up to 12 hours, which is the difference between a party gadget and something you use on a Saturday afternoon.

Owners report two learning curves. The first is that sugar-free recipes will not slush on their own; you need a recommended sugar substitute for the texture to set properly. The second is patience, since a run takes anywhere from 15 to 60 minutes depending on the ingredients, the volume and how warm the liquid starts.

Set it against the Ninja CREAMi NC299 and the split is clean: the SLUSHi does drinks and slush with a compressor and no pre-freeze, while the CREAMi does dense frozen desserts and requires 24 hours of freezing first. If you want cocktails, this is the one. If you want something that scoops like gelato, the CREAMi wins that comparison.

It weighs 24 pounds, which makes it the heaviest item in this roundup and a permanent counter decision rather than a seasonal one. The vessel, lid and drip tray are dishwasher safe, and the vessel lifts out for cleaning.

7. Ninja CREAMi NC299: Best for Ice Cream

The CREAMi is the lowest-rated product here at 4.5 stars, and the reason is mostly the noise and the waiting rather than the results. What it does well is texture. An 800-watt dual-drive motor base and Creamify Technology shave a frozen pint into a dense, smooth result that owners compare favourably to a gelato counter.

Seven one-touch programs cover ice cream, gelato, sorbet, milkshakes, smoothie bowls, lite ice cream and a Mix-In pass that folds chips or fruit through the batch evenly. A Re-spin function gives a softer finish. The practical draw is control: you decide the sugar, the dairy and the protein in every pint.

The catch is scheduling. The base has to sit in a freezer for a full 24 hours before you process anything, and it is loud enough during the cycle that it is not a late-night job. Plan a freeze on a Saturday and eat it on the Sunday, rather than expecting a same-evening dessert.

The Ninja SLUSHi FS301 wins on speed and the CREAMi wins on control. Neither machine dominates: the CREAMi makes dessert with no compressor and no ice, while the SLUSHi makes drinks with no 24-hour pre-freeze. Set against the Ninja Waffle Maker Pro, the CREAMi is the more involved commitment and the more rewarding one after the first few batches.

The 16-ounce pint, storage lid and Creamerizer paddle are all top-rack dishwasher safe, and the unit carries a one-year limited warranty. Only one pint is included, extra pints cost extra, and it will not accept NC100, NC200, NC500 or NC700 series containers.

8. Ninja Nutri-Plus BN301: Best for Small Kitchens

The smallest way into a Ninja kitchen, and the lowest-rated among the blenders here at 4.6 stars, but it is the only one of the four that fits in a 4.7 by 4.7 inch square. At 13.8 inches tall and 5.3 pounds, it is the pick for a dorm room, a studio flat or a counter that already has a microwave on it.

Three 20-ounce cups come in the box with two spout lids and a storage lid, so a Sunday batch of smoothies is already portioned and drinkable straight from the cup. Pro Extractor blades break down ice and whole fruit and vegetables, and a manual pulse gives you hands-on control over texture when nuts or seeds are involved.

Where you feel the saving is power. 900 peak watts is well under the 1100 watts of the Ninja BL660 Blender and the 1400 watts of the Ninja BN701, and there are no presets, so frozen fruit takes more manual pulsing. Twenty ounces is also a personal-size vessel, not a family one.

Space is the whole argument here. Against the Ninja BL660, this is a clear win on footprint and a clear loss on batch size and power. If your smoothies are single glasses and your counter is the constraint, it is the right answer; if you meal prep for a week, it is not.

The cups, lids and blade assembly are all top-rack dishwasher safe. Expect to run it in short pulses for ice, and expect to wash the blade assembly with care.

9. Ninja Sizzle GR101: Best for Breakfasts and Burgers

Owners rate this one at 4.6 stars across more than 3,800 ratings, and the reason is a plate that changes. A 14-inch ribbed nonstick grill plate and a 14-inch flat-top griddle plate swap in and out, so the same 1450-watt base handles a Saturday stack of pancakes and a Tuesday night batch of burgers and fajitas.

Heating is the quiet strength. Edge-to-edge construction avoids the hot and cold patches that leave half a pancake burnt, and the 500°F ceiling gives you a proper sear on the grill plate. The perforated mesh lid catches splatter and controls smoke, and it detaches for the dishwasher along with the plates.

The trade-off owners name most often is plate size. At 14 inches, these plates handle about half a dozen burgers or pancakes, which fits a family of four to six comfortably but not a large gathering. There is a larger version of this appliance, and this is not it. The plates and lid also have to come off and be washed separately rather than wiped in place.

Weighing it against the Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill, the Sizzle is 7.8 pounds against 20 and swaps a griddle plate in where the AG301 offers a crisper basket and a 6-quart pot. Pick the AG301 for char and frozen-to-grilled cooking, and the Sizzle for flat-top breakfasts and a lighter footprint.

Worth knowing: the grill plate is ribbed and the griddle plate is flat, so bacon will not crisp the way it does on a ribbed surface. You can cook hood up for concentrated heat or hood down to melt cheese on top, and the unit carries a one-year warranty.

10. Ninja Waffle Maker Pro: Best for Weekend Brunch

One appliance, one reason: Belgian waffles on a Sunday. The vertical design is the differentiator, since it spreads batter evenly through the whole plate instead of relying on gravity alone, and it takes less counter depth than a traditional horizontal maker at 7.72 by 6.57 by 11.9 inches.

Five shade settings run from soft and fluffy to properly crisp, which mostly matters because waffle batter changes with the day. A specialty setting handles high-sugar mixes like brownie or cake batter, which burn before they brown on a normal setting. An audible beep and an indicator light end the guesswork, and the included precision-pour cup measures and pours without overfilling.

Two drawbacks get repeated by owners. The outer edge of the pour spout is exposed metal, and it is exactly where fingers go when you tip the batter in. And a thick batter does not always reach the bottom corners, so the outer inch of a waffle can be paler than the rest.

There is no blender or grill on this list that competes with it, so the real comparison is a drip coffee machine and a toaster. The Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill’s cooking pot and the Ninja Sizzle GR101’s griddle plate both cover pancakes and eggs in one session, which is a different kind of weekend morning.

Counting the reviews matters here: more than 3,500 owners have rated the listing, and seasoning the plates before first use plus tongs at the turn make the waffle release cleanly. The aluminium body is PFAS-free and PFOA-free, and the listing carries a one-year limited warranty.

How to Choose Ninja Kitchen Appliances During Prime Big Deal Days

Size the basket or pitcher to the people you cook for

A 4-quart air fryer basket suits one to three people, and the Ninja AF101 Air Fryer is built around that. Once you are feeding four or more regularly, move up to two 4-quart zones, which is what the Ninja Foodi DZ201 DualZone offers. For blenders, 20-ounce cups are single servings, a 72-ounce pitcher is a family batch, and the difference decides everything else.

Decide between hot-air cooking and contact heat

Air fryers circulate 105°F to 450°F around food and need no oil beyond a spray. Contact grills and griddles press food against metal at up to 500°F, which is faster and gives sear marks, and the Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill and Ninja Sizzle GR101 both work that way. Ask whether you want fries and reheating, or grill marks and pancakes.

Pick manual control or presets

Manual blenders like the Ninja BL660 Blender give you three speeds, a pulse and total say-so. Auto-iQ models like the Ninja BN701 Blender run three timed programs that blend, pause and pulse on their own. Presets suit a household that wants the same green drink every morning; manual suits anyone adjusting texture as they go.

Check counter depth and ceiling clearance before you order

Dimensions matter more than price on this list. The Ninja Nutri-Plus BN301 has a 4.7 inch square footprint, while the Ninja Foodi AG301 Grill is 14.9 inches square and 20 pounds, and the Ninja BN701 Blender stands 17.5 inches tall. Measure the gap under your cabinets and the width of the counter before choosing, not after.

Choose the frozen treat machine by output

The Ninja CREAMi NC299 makes one 16-ounce pint at a time after a 24-hour base freeze, and it is the choice for frozen desserts with full control over sugar and dairy. The Ninja SLUSHi FS301 makes seven or more servings of slush in an 88-ounce vessel with no pre-freeze and no added ice. Desserts or drinks, one batch or a crowd, is the whole decision.

How to Shop Ninja Kitchen Appliance Deals During the Sale

Check the model number on the listing rather than the marketing name, because Ninja reuses family names across generations: an AF101 and an AG301 are different appliances that both read as air fryers in a search result. Confirm the basket or pitcher capacity and the wattage match what this article lists, read what is in the box, and note whether the seller and shipper are Amazon or a third party. Most offers need a Prime membership, and the prices on these listings change through the event.

• Match the model number on the listing to the model number in this article before you buy
• Measure counter width and cabinet clearance for anything over 14 inches
• Check that the basket, pitcher or plates you want are included, not sold as accessories
• Decide between new and Amazon Warehouse based on the warranty terms, not just the listing
• Read the capacity figure for the number of people you actually cook for
• Confirm the seller and shipper before checking out, especially on a marketplace listing
