Channel your inner chef for a fraction of the cost.

If you've ever attempted to make pesto without a food processor, a loaf of bread without a stand mixer, or whipped cream by hand, you know how important kitchen appliances are.

And those who have ever wandered around a Williams Sonoma also know how expensive they can be. Kitchen gadgets are proof that convenience can come with a high price tag. But instead of holding out for a Cyber Monday sale or hoping a loved one gifts you a brand new Vitamix for the holidays, you should head to Costco.

If you're renovating your kitchen and need a new fridge or oven, Costco's got you covered. But did you know that they also sell some of the most popular small kitchen appliances at a fraction of the retail price? That's right, our favorite bulk warehouse has everything from KitchenAid stand mixers to the TikTok-viral Ninja ice cream maker.

Having an arsenal of high quality kitchen tools is what will transform your weeknight dinners into restaurant-quality meals. And, thankfully, they don't cost an arm and a leg. We've rounded up some of the gadgets in our shopping carts that make baking, roasting, blending, and frying a breeze. Here are our favorite small kitchen appliances from Costco that deserve a spot on your kitchen counter.
