Easily one of the best ice makers to buy right now, the Insignia 26 Pound Portable Icemaker is capable of making up to 26 pounds of ice per day. That’s because it creates ice every 6 to 13 minutes with a choice of two cube size options — .25 ounce and .32 ounce — so you can find the right fit for you. Able to store up to 1.5 pounds of ice at any one time, you’re really not going to run out of supplies any time soon here. A large 2.1-quart water tank recycles any melted ice so you won’t even have to refill it as often as with other ice makers.

Alongside those features is an electronic control panel with indicator lights that make this ice maker super easy to operate. An auto shut-off feature means you won’t have to worry about overflow, plus there’s a removable basket and ice scoop included for easy access to your ice.

With a choice of different colors, including red, mint, and white, you can even make sure the Insignia 26 Pound Portable Icemaker fits your kitchen’s décor, too. Don’t forget — right now, the Insignia 26 Pound Portable Icemaker is down to just $90 saving you $36 on the usual price so this is a great time to snap it up at Best Buy while stocks last.

Imperial stouts available everywhere that are perfect for fall

Sierra Nevada

I get it, you’re not happy that summer and its seemingly endless, sun-drenched days filled with light, crisp, refreshing beer are over. Even begrudgingly, you’ve likely already moved onto fall beer with Oktoberfest, Vienna lagers, pumpkin ales, and maltier, dark brews. But even though you’re not ready to put your board shorts and flip-flops away until next summer, the days are getting shorter and the nights are getting chillier. It’s almost imperial stout season.

As a beer drinker, I also struggle to move on from the lighter, crushable beers of summer and early fall. But I love a well-made imperial stout. This full-bodied, rich, high-alcohol brew is the perfect complement to the colder months ahead. In fact, there’s no beer style I’d rather drink while I sit beside a fall campfire.

The annual list of the World’s 50 Best Bars was just unveiled at a live awards ceremony in Milan. Hong Kong’s Bar Leone retains the No. 1 spot for the second consecutive year. The bar, founded by Italian bartender Lorenzo Antinori in 2023, draws inspiration from Rome’s neighborhood bars, focusing on classic cocktails, Italian influences and approachable hospitality.

Moebius Milano took the No. 2 spot, followed by Alquímico in Cartagena, Bangkok’s Bar Us, and Athens’ Line at No. 5. Mexico City’s Handshake Speakeasy, a former top-ranked bar, placed sixth this year and earned Best Bar in North America honors.

Tired of messy meal prep? Ninja just released the ultimate space-saver

Ninja Prepi

SharkNinja is back with another innovative kitchen launch — the Ninja PREPi. This is a first-of-its-kind system that can prep, store, and serve, all in one compact device. The Ninja PREPi, your shortcut to eating fresh: chef-level prep precision with no skills required, compact and portable design, easily stackable storage – eating the way you want has never been so easy. From dicing to chopping, slicing, and puréeing, its a product that is designed to help make meal prep even easier (and give you back time in the kitchen). I’m pretty excited about this launch, as it seems like one of those products we didn’t know we needed (but soon won’t be able to live without).

“Even a simple meal can feel like a project once you factor in the prep and the cleanup,” said D-J Hageman, VP of Marketing at Ninja. “It can mean knives for chopping, multiple cutting boards, serving bowls, and containers for leftovers. We created Ninja PREPi™ to bring those steps together to make cooking easier for home chefs, with a fresh take on a category that isn’t typically the target of kitchen innovation.”
