Ready for an Upgrade? Why Fall Is the Best Time of the Year to Buy Appliances
When buying any major appliance, timing is key — so what is the best time of the year to buy appliances? Whether it’s to replace a washer that’s run its last cycle or part of a major renovation, we all want a good deal on our home appliances, especially since they can cost us a pretty penny. But to find the best bargains, it’s important to be strategic. That means shopping when stores not only want you to, but need you to.
When is the best time of the year to buy appliances?
If you’re shopping for a new appliance, the best time of year to pick one up is right around the corner: fall. There are two major reasons why fall is the best time of the year to buy new appliances — new collections and holidays. Come September and October, brands and manufacturers unveil the latest models of appliances like washers, dryers, and ovens. In order to make room for these items, stores will sell last season’s models at rock-bottom prices. Couple that with seasonal holidays known for savings, like Labor Day, Columbus Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas, and you’ll be swimming in savings.
