This latest side-by-side refrigerator by Hisense is a bestseller for good reason. Its spacious 670-litre capacity is ideal for families.

The fridge’s Super Freeze function rapidly lowers the temperature and freezes food faster than usual, helping it retain its natural taste, texture and nutrient value. You can use the touch control panel on the door for accurate temperature control. The fridge has a five-star Energy Star rating, thanks to its modern inverter compressor, which offers a quiet, energy-efficient operation. It also comes with a stylish water dispenser, which has a brushed matte surface that blends into your contemporary aesthetic.

Bonus: Buy with zero per cent installments and pay Dh145.75 for 12 months with select banks.

2. Best Air Fryer Deal: Ninja Foodi Dual Zone Digital Air Fryer 

Pros

  • Choose from six cooking functions
  • Large capacity
  • Two cooking zones
  • Easy clean-up

Cons

  • Takes up significant counter space

Ever since air fryers first launched, they’ve become a staple in most people’s kitchens. But if you’re looking for a large capacity air fryer that can feed your entire household, as well as perform when you’re hosting parties, Ninja Foodi is the way to go. With 7.6 litres of space, this appliance can cook up to six portions in one go. There are two independent cooking zones here, so you can use it to cook two different kinds of foods simultaneously. Each basket allows you to adjust its own separate timer, temperature and function. There’s also a Match setting, that automatically calibrates both baskets to the same settings so you can double the amount of food you’re making, in the same amount of time. Choose from six cooking functions - Max Crisp, Air Fry, Roast, Bake, Reheat, and Dehydrate. Washing up is easy, thanks to non-stick, dishwasher-safe parts. However, do note that since this is a big appliance, it’s going to take up considerable space on your countertop.

Pros

You can check out its Combination cooking modes, which combine microwave, grill and convection features to cook food thoroughly, while browning or crisping its exterior, as you prefer. You can even recreate freshly baked breads in this appliance! There’s room enough to fit a 316mm-wide dish that’s big enough to feed the entire family and a user-friendly dial offers simple and intuitive control. Some reviewers comment, however, that the air fryer function is not up to the mark.

Bonus: Buy with zero per cent installments and pay Dh49.92 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: The manufacturer provides one-year warranty. Amazon offers one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh24.50, and two-year extended warranty for Dh49.

This coffee maker is quite light at 2.4kg, fitting in the smallest spaces with a slim 12cm-wide profile. Your delivery arrives with 14 capsules inside the box, ready for a trial brewing. Buyers mostly pick it up for their office space and busy work corners, where they're prepared to sacrifice the taste of fresh grounds for pods to save time.

Pros

  • Compact appliance
  • Powerful blending function
  • Plenty of accessories
  • Dishwasher-safe

Cons

  • Low-speed setting is still quite aggressive

Every home needs a reliable blender, and you’ll be hard-pressed to find one as good as NutriBullet.

With 1,000 watts of power, you can blend virtually any fruit, vegetable or nut in this appliance. There’s an extra-large Tritan pitcher that’s strong and durable enough to handle both cold and hot liquids – so it’s easy to blend soups in this appliance. All the pitchers and cups are bisophenol-A or BPA-free and dishwasher-safe. Choose from three speeds and a pulse function, as well as an extract program that delivers great nutrient extraction every time. So, whether you’re making a smoothie, soup, or something else, this is the set you need. Some reviewers do mention that the low-speed setting is still quite aggressive, so you’ll have to be careful when blending.

6. Best Robot Vacuum Deal: roborock S7 Max Ultra 

Pros

  • Strong suction power
  • Washes and dries its mop
  • Useful app
  • Good navigation system
  • Two kinds of battery recharging capabilities

Cons

  • Small obstacle detection isn’t always accurate

At 45 per cent off, the roborock S7 Max Ultra is a fantastic wet and dry robot vacuum cleaner you can take home from this year’s White Friday Sale; it will provide week after week of hands-off cleaning. This high-end hybrid can do it all – it can vacuum and mop, self-empty its dust bin, wash its mopping cloth and refill its water tank so it’s always ready to go. With 5,500Pa suction, a LiDAR navigation system, and reactive obstacle avoidance technology that allows it to plan the most efficient cleaning routes, the device can move around your home confidently, even in the dark. Reviewers like that the mop has two charging speeds – if it runs out of battery mid-session, it returns to base and charges 30 per cent faster, so it can resume cleaning. And during off-peak hours, it returns to full charge. Its 2.5-litre dust bag only needs to be cleaned out once every seven weeks; it also has an independent three litre water tank. However, reviewers caution that you’ll have to make sure your earbuds, and other small knick-knacks are safely out of its way, since it doesn’t reliably detect smaller items.

Bonus: Buy with zero per cent installments and pay Dh183.25 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: Amazon offers one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh87.50, and two-year extended warranty for Dh124.60.

7. Best Cordless Vacuum Deal: Dyson Gen5 Detect 

Pros

  • Powerful suction
  • Cordless
  • Useful laser headlight
  • Excellent battery life

Cons

  • Slightly heavy

It’s always a good idea to save up for a Dyson device. The Gen5 Detect is a whopping 37 per cent off this year, so rush to snag this deal! The brand calls this its most powerful Hepa (high efficiency particulate air filter) cordless vacuum – its power-dense motor spins at 135,000rpm, so you’re never short of suction power. Reviewers love the LCD screen here, which features a piezo sensor that counts and sizes particles 15,000 times a second and automatically increases power when needed. Switch seamlessly between three power modes – Boost, Eco and Auto – and enjoy up to 70 minutes of run time. The Hepa filter and optic roller are washable, and you can transform this vacuum cleaner into a handheld one with just a click. On the downside, you might find this appliance to be slightly heavy for a cordless, at 3.5kg.

Bonus: Buy with zero per cent installments and pay Dh184.17 for 12 months with select banks.

Warranty: Amazon offers one-year extended warranty by Salama Care for Dh91.70, and two-year extended warranty for Dh130.20.

There’s also a Hygiene Steam function, which improves the cleaning quality of your wash without pre-treatments, and removes 99.9 per cent of bacteria and allergens. You can even troubleshoot the machine by using your smartphone. Apart from these functions, the washer uses digital inverter technology for quieter, more powerful performance that consumes less energy than a universal motor.

Don’t let poor air quality affect your home’s interiors. Levoit’s Core 300S Smart Air Purifier features an efficient three-stage filter system to ensure you’re breathing easy.

The third filter is made from activated carbon and absorbs unpleasant odours and the smell of smoke. Suitable for room sizes up to 40 square metres, the Core 300S is ideal for living rooms or bedrooms. It can purify rooms twice in one hour, and you can control it via Google Assistant, the companion app, or right from the appliance itself.
