Best blender deal

If there's one thing home chefs know (other than how to whip up a stellar meal in a pinch), it's that building up your home kitchen arsenal can get expensive fast.

That's why taking advantage of sales like Prime Day is key to scoring that air fryer, KitchenAid mixer, or Vitamix without your bank account taking a huge hit.

To make your life even easier, we've rounded up the best Prime Day kitchen deals on day two of the sale.

There's no getting around it: Vitamixes are expensive. However, they're also built to last for years and years, and this 5200 model can more than cover all your blending needs. The 64-ounce container can handle small and large batches alike, and the 10 variable speeds can get you exactly the blend texture you need. You'll also receive the included tamper (which really does beat stopping and starting your blender so you can shake the container and pray for an even blend). Only Prime members will have access to this rare, significant markdown.

The eternal struggle of picking the right air fryer size is that you want one that can actually fit a meal's worth of food without it being so large that you lose 90% of your counter space. With this countertop oven, Ninja had a stroke of genius in allowing you to flip it up and out of the way when it's not in use. And you still have enough room to fit a 13-inch pizza, plus the functionality of eight different cook options.

Genesis Products Inc. has been in the countertop business for a long time among other products but the recent acquisition of the Solid Surface Division of Native Hardwoods raises the bar in that product space for the Goshen, Ind.-based RV supplier.

Genesis, celebrating its 20th year in business, has long been known in the RV industry for its trend-setting interiors using high-performance laminates and lightweight materials and this acquisition bolsters that reputation.

John Wenger

President and CEO Jon Wenger said the company started out producing thermofoil-pressed countertops and moved into solid surface a couple of years ago.

Weve been building that program, Wenger told RVBusiness, so Native is following that continued path to make sure were one of the premier countertop providers to the industry.

Genesis is currently in expansion mode with the construction of Plant 10 at its Goshen campus beginning this past March, where solid surface eventually will become the primary product.

Adding in the Native brings on some more experience. Theyve been doing it for 25 years theyre pretty much the luxury provider in the industry, he said. Just from a product, engineering and manufacturing standpoint it brings that talent and experience into our team and gives us some additional capacity, customer base and product knowledge as well. Its a great add-on as we continue to grow our countertop offerings and products.

For now, the newly-acquired solid surface production will remain at the Native facility in Elkhart, Ind. But equipment and team members will move to the new Plant 10, scheduled for completion around the end of December.

Countertops constitute roughly 10% of Genesis business, Wenger said, so yes, definitely a significant product offering for us.

OEMs are welcoming the move, he added, as Genesis continues to invest in that part of its business.

There hasnt been a ton of choices for great solid surface providers. Its been relatively consolidated, so I think OEMs are happy to have us to continue to expand our offerings, to make sure they have choices, he said.

Wenger characterized the acquisition process as smooth and positive.

Ed (Jim Edmundson) and the team over at Native were awesome. Great guys. We really enjoyed working with them, just a first-rate team over there and a really great experience working with them, he said.

Business overall for Genesis in these post-pandemic times is stable, Wenger said.A lot of those challenges have gone. Its a little bit feast or famine, where obviously things were pretty hectic for the last couple of years, and now as the industry adjusts and normalizes, we are figuring out what the new normal might be.

He said Genesis is adjusting production, just as OEMs and dealers are adjusting their inventory levels and production rates.

But overall, things are steady and were certainly just figuring out what the new normal is going to be, Wenger said.

When it comes to computers, printers, chargers for smartphones and their accessories, the word "wireless" does not immediately come to mind. I have more wires behind my computer desk than National Geographic has pictures.

Kitchen appliances that get moved on and off countertops also have cords. You know more about cord management if you've ever tripped over one while moving a small appliance from countertop to storage space.

Many device chargers don't stay at home when you go on vacation. They travel as well, and find ways to tangle themselves.

Wire twists, like those found on bread bags, help. But used often enough, they'll break or are easily lost. Plastic zip ties are fine for one-time use, but can't be done and undone.

There is a colorful and elegant alternative to all this: the reusable magnetic silicone cable tie.

READ MORE FROM GADGET DADDY:

The specific brand we'll look at today is the Smart & Cool, available from Amazon.com (20 pack, $21; a 30 pack, $26 both with free shipping for Prime members). They are about 7 inches long, and can be stretched nearly double that.

They come in 10 bright neon colors (rose red, red, orange, yellow, light blue, blue, purple, gray, green and black). The magnets on each end are enrobed in silicone and are about three-eights of an inch across about the size of a shirt button.

They are powerful little magnets. They need to be pried apart, and they try to grab on to the nearest metal object. Sometimes, that's a good thing for holding up a cable to the underside of a metal desk, for instance.

They're called cable ties, but the uses for them are varied. They can be used as a money clip. They can hold together a bundle of pens and pencils. They can keep things rolled up that are supposed to be rolled up.

Instead of hooks for a shower curtain, substitute these for a pop of color. Toss the plastic clip from the bread bag and use a magnetic tie instead. Use them for refrigerator magnets.

There you have it. A cable tie that's colorful, versatile, elegant and useful at home or away.

And as you noticed, they're very attractive.

Cats are not as forgiving as dogs. Is there any way to prevent them from being uploaded to sites that you dont want?

Every owner of a cat knows that the animal only needs a couple of days to become the Houses owner. He will do what he wants and he will get on where he wants, no matter what that puny human tells him.

So the kitty will put his butt on the counter where you prepare food, he will drink water from your glasses, or he will get into the bathtub to play with the stopper. Do not forget that they step on the litter box and lick each other continuouslyincluding their private parts, so they are not very hygienic. How can you prevent it from climbing where it shouldnt?

A cat usually doesnt learn anything through yelling or threats, and even less if you try to talk to him and explain it to him. The best solution is let him learn it for himself.

There are people who wet the cat with water when it is in a place that it should not be, since the water repels them. But normally the cat will not associate that action with him being in the wrong place. He will simply think that you want to annoy him.

luckily there is tricks for cats not to climb on kitchen counters.

First, you have to try to guess why he does it. Maybe he just uses it to look out a window. In that case, put a chair or something for him so he can look through it, or if you dont want, directly lower the blind or put up a curtain.

Cats dont like sticky surfaces, so one trick is put double-sided tape, or adhesive paper, on the edges of the countertop. Its legs will stick and it will go away. If you dont like the idea because its not very aesthetic, you can try foil a little wrinkled, that makes noise when stepped on it, and the reflections scare them.

Another solution is put sandpaper on the countertop. The rough touch on the legs they do not like at all. Hopefully you will only have to do it for a few days, until the habit breaks.

Another very different kind of trick is resort to odours. Cats dont like strong citrus or mint scents, for example. so you can buy essential oils of lemon, orange, peppermint, lavender, or citronella, which are not toxic. Mix them with a little water, and with a spray spray the countertop, the bathtub, the pot of silver that is eatenor where you dont want it to go.

Youll keep the kitty away from those places, and your house will also smell great.

A rental cabin straight out of The Hobbit complete with a map of Middle Earth is the latest addition to June Farms, the luxury agri-tourism resort that Matt Baumgartner has developed over the past five years.

Along with a tree house, creating a Hobbit house was the most frequent suggestion, he said, so he listened. Contractors burrowed and drilled their way into a rocky hillside in the farms forest and dug out a rounded, underground cabin with black walnut countertops, radiant heating, flickering yard lamps and manicured gardens out front.

The Hobbit house will rent for $275 a night weekdays or $295 on weekends.

Ameris Construction has started building Edison Midtown Phase II, a 60-unit multifamily development at 3131 N. Central Ave., Phoenix.

The development will complete the project, which includes the existing Edison Midtown Phase I, which opened in 2018 and is sold out, according to a release announcing the recent second-phase groundbreaking.

Its a great time to build a new construction, multifamily for-sale product, Dale Regehr of Tannin Developments stated in the release. There is very little of this type of inventory in the market at the present time.

The condominiums will consist of one-bedroom, two-bedroom and two-bedroom plus den units. The condos feature ceilings up to 11 feet, hard-surface flooring throughout, kitchens with stainless steel appliances and quartz countertops.

Twenty of the 60 condominiums in Phase II have been sold, according to the release.

The builder estimates the project will be completed in 2023.

We are thrilled to be able to complete a project thats been on pause for nearly six years now. This will be the only for-sale product in downtown Phoenix at the time of completion - which is a big deal in todays real estate market, said Chris Jones, Ameris Construction president and partner.
