The rise of beautiful budget cookware, like the Pioneer Woman’s Walmart collection, has elevated pretty and affordable appliances to a public pedestal. Gone are the days when paying half your mortgage on a sleek toaster was the norm. With collections like Drew Barrymore’s Beautiful brand, even penny pinchers can create their dream kitchen.

But for those of us with tiny kitchens, finding glamorous and space-saving kitchenware is still a substantial challenge. That’s why I’m so excited about Bella Kitchen Appliances’ newest launch, which promises to be a “first-of-its-kind kitchenware system that saves up to 50% more space.”

Bella’s newest collection comes from the minds behind the ever-popular Beautiful by Drew line at Walmart. We’re already big fans of budget-friendly Beautiful by Drew appliances. In fact, this sleek and affordable brand makes our favorite toaster and some of the prettiest cookware we’ve tried (just take a look at our Hero Pan review).

The new Bella kitchen appliances are smaller than the average kitchen appliance, with some offering additional space-saving features like a “fold-and-store” construction. Despite the slimmer profiles and shrunken-down sizes, they’re still functional enough for everyday use.

Bella’s newest collection includes a stackable cookware set, four-quart air fryer, ultra-slim two-slice toaster, folding griddle, flip and store blender, waffle maker, espresso machine , foldable warming tray and two-in-one coffee maker. Each of the nine pieces offers the perfect balance between space-saving and sleek. They also come in several stylish colors, including neutral “oat milk,” baby pink “blossom,” rich purple “plum,” and a pleasant blue shade called “surf.”

Featuring a PFAS-free ceramic nonstick coating and gorgeous matte finish, this four-quart air fryer measures just over eight inches wide. Its longer basket means that it can fit more than comparable air fryers, and the quick digital controls make it easy to air fry, bake, roast, broil, reheat or dehydrate dinners in minutes. Plus, it’s similar in style to the Beautiful by Drew air fryer, which won us over as the best air fryer on a budget in our tests. The best part? It’s completely budget friendly at under $50!

Sure, this mini griddle is adorable with its little handle and fluted details. But it’s also a kitchen workhorse, boasting two individually controlled ceramic temperature zones that reach up to 400ºF. A dishwasher-safe drip tray catches any dribbles, and we love that it folds in half when we’re finished cooking for easy storage. At only 5.5 inches wide once folded, it’s easy to stash away in a cupboard.

This two-slice slim toaster is one of my favorite Bella kitchen appliances, and not just because it reminds me of the editor-loved Beautiful toaster. Thanks to its ultra-slim profile (taking under four inches of room), it slides into the teeniest cracks and crevices of the kitchen. The secret is its single extra-long slot rather than the typical side-by-side slots. This not only gives it a long-yet-slender appearance, but also ensures that it fits big slices of sourdough. But the biggest win? It’s available for only $20. Score!

Shop on Amazon

Bella kitchen appliances are available on Amazon, Target and at Macy’s. Prices range from $20 to $80, making each pick a budget-friendly (and eye-friendly) option for home cooks.
