Some of the best Wayfair Way Day bargains this fall are not sofas. Over the sale, which ran Saturday, October 24 through Monday, October 26, Cuisinart cookware, small appliances and knife sets were marked down by as much as 62%, with several pieces at some of their lowest prices of the year.
The calculus for a shopper is simple. The window was three days, the markdowns were deepest on limited-time doorbusters and flash deals, and the kitchen items were the sort that could sell out before the sale closed. Anyone planning holiday hosting, replacing tired pans or starting gift shopping had a reason to move early.
What was on offer
Four Cuisinart products stood out in the listings.
An 11-piece stainless steel cookware set promises even heating, is oven-safe and dishwasher-safe, and works on most cooktops. A 5-speed hand mixer gives fine control for batters and whipped cream, and it is light enough for small kitchens. A 15-piece knife block set pairs stainless steel blades with hollow handles shaped for a balanced grip. An electric can opener with a strong motor and stainless steel housing works at the push of a button.
The retailer behind the sale
Wayfair is a Boston-based online home goods company founded in 2002, offering 14 million items from more than 11,000 suppliers. It runs five branded sites: Wayfair, Joss & Main, AllModern, Birch Lane and Perigold. It began as CSN Stores and rebranded as Wayfair in 2011, after owning more than 200 niche shops. Its first Way Day came on April 25, 2018.
The company is also pushing hard into physical retail. Its fourth large-format store, covering about 140,000 square feet across two floors, opens in Denver at 8298 E. Northfield Blvd. at 9:30 a.m. on November 20. It will carry Wayfair verified items in 19 departments plus areas for free design services. The grand opening runs through November 22, with up to 80% off throughout the store, and the first 100 customers each day get a $50 gift card.
