Macy's end-of-summer sale is big — save up to 70% on Clarks, Cuisinart and more

Bring some life to your kitchen this summer with these pastel-colored blades. The Cuisinart set comes with an 8-inch chef's knife, an 8-inch slicing knife, a 7-inch santoku knife, a 5.5-inch serrated utility knife, a 3.5-inch paring knife and blade guards to protect them (and your fingers).

"These knives are so pretty!" said a buyer. "They are also very sharp. I liked them so well that I bought an additional set for a gift."

Good luck finding another air fryer for under $40 — much less one that's $22. This baby has circular heat technology and a stainless steel nonstick pan and crisping tray for oil-free frying. It's ideal for two to three people and can fit in the smallest of kitchens. 

"I absolutely love this air fryer. It is so easy to operate and clean," said a reviewer. "Food tastes amazing too. It's very lightweight and the size is perfect for leaving on the counter. It comes with a booklet with recipes as well. Food cooks amazingly fast, I would say in half the time."

Save space on your counter with this nifty 2-in-1 appliance, which is nice and compact, yet roomy enough to fit six slices of bread or a 12-inch pizza. Now you'll be able to enjoy your favorite crispy foods with little to no oil, and without having to wait for your big oven to preheat. Oh, and the sleek stainless steel design isn't too shabby, either. 

"Having the air fryer and the toaster oven in one appliance is handy," wrote an impressed buyer. "The air fryer isn’t as loud as our previous air fryer. And the cleanup for this air fryer is easier. It’s a good-looking unit ... All in all, this appliance works well."

Our senior home editor Lisa Schweitzer recently tested chef's knives and chose this one from Global as her favorite. It's not too heavy and not too light, and it slices through almost everything as if your food is as soft as Marshmallow Fluff. This Japanese-style knife tends to be lighter than Western knives — it has straight, thinner and sometimes sharper blades.

"The knife felt balanced in my hand, was easy to maneuver and the blade was remarkably sharp. It was a pleasure to use and while not a traditional-looking knife, it has a modern steel design that I love," said Schweitzer, a French Culinary Institute graduate. 

Yes, the Ninja hype is real. Whether you're looking for a powerful food processor or want a blender that makes smoothies with ease, this countertop gadget is worth the splurge. You get so much with this kitchen system: A 72-ounce pitcher, 8-cup food processor and two 16-ounce single-serve cups you can take on the go.

"Best small appliance ever," raved a home cook. "I use the Ninja for everything. Smoothies, chopping, grating, mincing, pureeing, mixology, crushed ice, kneading, mixing, whipping. You name it! It is a must-have in every kitchen."

This gorgeous Le Creuset Dutch oven can cook a healthy 6.75 quarts (that's six to seven servings) and you can use the iconic cookware to braise, bake, sear, roast and more. Made with the brand's famous enameled cast iron, the piece is resistant to staining, chipping and cracking, and it's dishwasher-safe. 

"Le Creuset may be expensive, but take it from experience, nothing compares to the quality and beauty of Le Creuset," said a loyal fan. "I have many pieces and the round-wide Dutch oven is special. I love the width because I can brown more food at one time without crowding, and overall it gives me a wide-open view of what's going on inside."

If your guest room needs refreshing, try adding a new comforter to the bed. This soft and cozy pick is down to just $25 (from $130!), which means you can totally afford to grab one for your own bedroom, too. It's also reversible so you can easily flip it over to change the look of your room.

"This is exactly what I was looking for — it is lightweight but still keeps me warm in cold temperatures," wrote a shopper.

One of the best deals we found at Macy's this weekend? This 1400 thread count sheet set that's nearly 80% off. Choose from 11 colors and patterns — everything from white and gray to sky blue and yellow in all bed sizes. Our advice? Buy a set for now while the price is low, plus a spare to keep in your linen closet.

One shopper called them "super luxurious," adding that they are the "nicest sheets I've ever owned." Another noted how well they fit on a thick mattress. If you really want to invest in better shut-eye, check out the best bed sheets of 2024.

Did you know experts recommend replacing your bed pillows every one to two years? Well, now you do. And if you're way past that 24-month mark, we suggest adding this down-filled design to your cart. It's best suited for stomach sleepers and is available in three firmness levels in standard and king sizes.

Shoppers have lots of positive things to say about these pillows. One wrote, "If you are looking for a great pillow to get a good night’s sleep, look no further. These down pillows are so luxurious — you feel like you're sleeping at a fancy hotel."

It's time to upgrade your towels! Score these extra-fluffy, absorbent faves while they're 30% off. The top-selling set includes two bath towels, two hand towels and two washcloths. 

"The best towels I've ever bought," said one five-star fan. "I just replaced my old set (same brand) that we had been using daily for seven years. The material is very absorbent and soft. The first couple washes you will get a lot of lint in your dryer screen, so don't be alarmed."

Planning to jet-set this summer? Then you need a luggage upgrade. This foursome includes a full-size hard-shell suitcase, carry-on suitcase, travel tote and matching toiletry kit. Choose from 10 colors, including this fresh lilac shade.

"My favorite feature is in the large and carry-on suitcase; it's the little zipper area in between the two halves!" remarked a buyer. "Finally, a place to put my small things that I don't want to be able to access quickly. One side of each suitcase zips shut completely and the other side has the buckle straps. The littlest bag is perfect for my makeup."

Pet hair is no match for this 9-pound vacuum. It can clean hardwood floors, tiles and carpet, and it even converts into a handheld.

"Love this vacuum!" said one five-star fan. "We have two homes and have this vacuum in both! Very easy to use and great suction." (Yahoo staffers weigh in here with their favorite vacuums of all time.)

It's pretty standard to travel with one piece of checked luggage and one carry-on spinner (plus your purse or other personal item), so if you're looking for a basic two-piece set, we recommend this fan-favorite due by Delsey, created exclusively for Macy's.

The chic set maneuvers easily and quietly — use it to smoothly navigate those cobblestone streets on your next European vacation. Inside are plenty of pockets, dividers and straps to hold everything in place. And the polycarbonate/ABS blend combines the best of both worlds: it's both durable and lightweight. It comes in glossy bronze and black. 

Sure, buying a summer dress in the middle of August is a hard sell, but consider this — this throw-on-and-go tie-waist pink number can be worn with sandals now and then with ankle boots and a denim jacket come autumn.

If pink feels a little too sweet for your taste, there are other colors available like a preppy blue and white striped version and a sunny yellow floral take.

Can't get into the cropped-everything trend? Hear hear! If you prefer plenty of coverage, then grab this simple, versatile cardigan while it's on super sale at Macy's. The light gray color is neutral and will look good with just about everything in your closet.

Even better, the lightweight material makes this piece perfect for year-round wear. It'll keep you warm during the summer when the AC is blasting and you can also layer it under your coat in the winter for extra insulation.

The perfect black work pants? Found! Available in sizes 0-18 in three different lengths, these trousers are a must-have for anyone who needs to get a bit dressy for the office. 

Many shoppers who've purchased these pants say they are comfortable and fit well. "I purchased these on a whim. I was thrilled when I tried these on and they actually accommodated my bigger behind and thighs. And they don’t need to be hemmed," one person wrote.

Skinny and wide-leg jeans may come in and out of fashion, but no one can deny the timeless appeal of the bootcut silhouette. It has a leg-lengthening effect and the slightly flared hem looks so good with lots of different shoes.

For a limited time, tons of Levi's jeans are 30% off at Macy's including this classic mid-rise bootcut style. It's available in nine washes in sizes 2-18, and yes, all variations are currently marked down.

For nearly 200 years, Clarks has been producing shoes that prioritize comfort and these slip-on-and-go sandals are no exception. This sporty flip-flop fits the bill with a squishy insole that offers support, plus a rubber outsole for traction.

The current price — less than $30, to be exact — is a total steal, especially given this shoe has been dubbed "the best sandal" by one enthusiastic reviewer at Macy's.

Give the person who created these cute wedge sandals a medal! The chunky sole is not too high, so you can walk comfortably and the velcro strap in the back allows for a perfect fit. Plus, you can throw them in the washing machine.

"They’re perfect. So comfortable. I can wear them all day and night. I both three pairs," one Clarks convert wrote. Another commented, "These shoes are like walking on air!"

Take this Michael Kors tote on your end-of-summer travels (even if it's just a shopping trip in town). It has a zipper closure at the top to keep your belongings safely inside and sturdy leather handles that can hold all your essentials. 

"This bag is super cute!" gushed a fan. "It's a large tote and can fit a lot of stuff. It's great for everyday use." Added another: "This tote is awesome. A wonderful travel bag."

A good leather shoulder bag is a must in your fashion arsenal, no matter the season. You can fit everything you need into this classic Coach — sunglasses, wallet, phone, keys and water bottle — thanks to the interior compartments. The gold accents of the magnetic snap closure, zipper and adjustable strap only add to this bag's classy appeal. Oh, and it's 50% off! 

"This purse will last due to excellent construction," raved one buyer. "The purse is beautifully made. An outer zip pocket for car keys; the three inner pockets hold everything I need. One zippered and two magnetic pockets. Very easy to find everything."

Sure, these cool Nike kicks were designed with avid runners in mind, but you don't actually have to run in them. Anyone who spends a lot of time on their feet will appreciate the feel-good foam insole and the airy knit upper.

One happy stepper noted, "These shoes are comfortable, light, breathable and very supportive. They helped relieve knee and lower leg/foot/ankle pain."
