When is the best time to buy appliances?
The best times to snag savings on appliances are the major patriotic holidays (Presidents Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day and such) along with Black Friday. Some appliances may also be available at steep discounts during Cyber Monday. Memorial Day is competitive and companies are motivated to sell at deep discounts before the start of summer for those who can’t wait that long.
When is Memorial Day 2024?
On the last Monday of May each year, we celebrate Memorial Day, a holiday that honors US military service members who have died in service of their country. That means this year’s Memorial Day lands on Monday, May 27.
What are the best Memorial Day sales?
As is the case with other major holiday-based shopping events, Memorial Day sales are usually fairly wide-ranging, covering top brands and retailers. Appliances and mattresses tend to see the largest discounts, making it a great time to invest in those big-ticket items for the home. Following the trends of previous years, we’re seeing a variety of deals on items such as 4K TVs, home goods like furniture and decor, outdoor tools and more.
How does CNET select the best Memorial Day Appliance deals?
Our team of expert shoppers and deal-hunters has spent years helping buyers understand which major sales and deals are legitimately good and which are more routine. That includes Black Friday, Prime Day, Memorial Day and countless other shopping events. We’ve gotten very good at weeding out scams and superficial deals on appliances of every kind, so you see only the best offers on appliances.
At CNET we look for real discounts, quality reviews and remaining sale time when choosing a deal to show you.
-
Real discounts mean exactly that. We look at the price history for that product to make sure no manufacturers are inflating prices to make the discount seem more substantial than it is.
-
Quality reviews are important for any product, but especially for deeply discounted items. An appliance is a big investment, and if you don’t get enough mileage out of it, well of course the discount wasn’t really worthwhile.
-
Remaining sale time is a huge part of our vetting process. If a deal seems like it’ll be around for only a short while or will be available only for remaining stock, we’ll let you know up front so you don’t come back to the deal later only to be disappointed.
