When to Find the Best Deals on Home Appliances

The thrill of a new appliance can quickly fade when you see the hefty price tag. But fear not, bargain hunters! There are specific times throughout the year when you can snag amazing deals on all your home appliance needs. From major holidays to the best time to buy appliances off-season, here’s when you’ll find substantial savings. 

The Best Deals on Appliances Are During Holidays

Here's a breakdown of the best times to buy, helping you stretch your budget and score the perfect appliance:

Black Friday Appliance Sales

The undisputed king of sales, Black Friday offers the deepest discounts on a wide range of appliances. Be prepared for crowds and competition, but the savings can be significant. Over the past several years, manufacturers and retailers have started Black Friday deals on appliances and appliance bundles earlier in the year, some running the entire month of November. 

Cyber Monday Appliance Blowouts

Black Friday's online counterpart, Cyber Monday provides another chance to score big on discounted appliances from the comfort of your home. Make sure you do plenty of homework to choose the right model to suit your home, budget, and needs; it’s easy to find a great deal only to find it won’t fit or won’t last.

Memorial Day Appliance Deals

Retailers often offer major appliance sales to kick off the summer season. This is a great time to find deals on refrigerators, washing machines, and grills. We often see some of the best deals on appliances announced in the week leading up to Memorial Day Weekend, so stop by early! 

Father’s Day and Mother’s Day Appliance Sales

Because the holiday comes on the heels of Memorial Day, many Mother’s Day appliance sales offer the same competitive pricing and rebates, although in-store inventory may be lower. Father’s Day sales are similar; those deals 

Fourth of July

Celebrate Independence Day with savings on appliances like dishwashers, microwaves, and small kitchen appliances. While many retailers are closed on the Fourth of July, most holiday appliance deals are available a week or more before or after the holiday. 

Labor Day Weekend Appliance Sales

Another excellent time to find deals on appliances is when stores clear out their inventory for the upcoming fall season. Look out for discounts on ovens, ranges, and air conditioners.

When Is the Best Time of Year to Buy Appliances?

Outside of holiday sales, there are specific times of year when you’ll find aggressive appliance discounts, based on manufacturer and retailer sales cycles. These three periods tend to offer significant savings on past-year models and often include deals on appliance bundles, making it more affordable to upgrade all the appliances in a single room at once. 

Off-Season Buying

  • Fall (September-November)
  • This is the time when manufacturers release new models, leading to significant discounts on last year's models. Additionally, retailers often offer clearance sales to make room for the new inventory.
  • January/February: Similar to fall, the new year brings new models and clearance sales on older models. This is a great time to find deals on ovens, ranges, and refrigerators.
  • End of the Month: Many retailers have quotas to meet at the end of the month, making them more likely to negotiate on price. Don't hesitate to ask for a discount, especially when purchasing multiple appliances.

Appliance Model Clearances

  • Just before new models are released: Retailers often offer steep discounts on older models to clear out inventory. Keep an eye out for announcements about new releases and be prepared to act quickly for the best deals.
  • After new models are released: Once the new models are out, retailers are even more eager to get rid of the older inventory. This can be a great time to find significant discounts on appliances.

Additional Appliance Shopping Tips

Finding a great deal on a home appliance takes a little research and patience, but Max’s makes it easy. We take pride in answering your questions, offering support and service after the sale, and helping you find the information you need to make an informed decision. 

  • Shop around: Compare prices from different retailers to ensure you get the best deal.
  • Look for coupons and rebates: Many manufacturers and retailers offer coupons and rebates on appliances.
  • Consider buying floor models or scratch-and-dent appliances: These appliances are often discounted significantly, and the damage may be minor or nonexistent.
  • Beyond the price tag. Don’t let upfront costs blind you to future expenses. Consider the expected energy use, product warranty information, and whether the retailer charges for the installation or disposal of your old appliance. Those hidden costs may offset upfront savings.
