Between traveling and backyard barbecues, chances are your Memorial Day weekend plans include fun, relaxation, and enjoying what feels like the start of summer. But along with all the Memorial Day fun are all the long weekend sales. It’s the perfect time to save money on home upgrades, especially home appliances. Memorial Day appliance sales offer some of the best discounts of the year on large and small appliances, from air conditioners and refrigerators to vacuums and blenders.

Home appliances are notoriously expensive, with rare and small sales going on throughout the year. However, Memorial Day weekend is around the time that retailers start clearing out past inventory for newer lines and collections, which means major discounts for savvy shoppers. The sales also align perfectly with home improvement season ramping up, as well as the time of the year when people move the most and likely need to invest in home appliances.

Whether you’re shopping for large or small essentials, these are the Memorial Day appliance sales to shop and save you big for major home upgrades. 

Large appliances

Large appliances are integral parts of a home that make daily necessities like cooking and cleaning possible and significantly easier. The downside? They’re expensive. Having to pay full price for a large appliance will easily set you back hundreds of dollars, if not thousands. That’s why Memorial Day appliance sales are worth taking a look at if you’re in need of an upgrade.

This Memorial Day weekend, we’re seeing sales on major home appliances, including washer/dryer combos, smart refrigerators, and more. There are even more possible savings, with retailers offering extra discounts if you bundle and buy sets of large appliances as opposed to just one. This comes in handy if you like sticking with one brand or line and want to do a big overhaul of your main appliances.

It’s also a great time to buy an air conditioner. We spotted deals on portable air conditioners and window air conditioners, some of which are multifunctional and have smart features. It’s ideal to get them locked in before summer, when demand and prices tend to increase.

Small appliances

Major home appliances tend to take center stage when it comes to Memorial Day appliance sales, but don’t forget the smaller home essentials. Small home appliances, such as coffee makers to slow cookers, are seeing big price drops this weekend, too, which can make cooking easier and save you money by making coffee at home rather than spending it on a Dunkin or Starbucks run. 

There are also Memorial Day savings on cleaning and other home items, like vacuums, popular upholstery cleaners, and fans, giving you solid discounts on everyday must-haves. Even though Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer, people are still in spring cleaning mode, making these deals even more enticing.

Why you should buy appliances during Memorial Day Weekend

Retailers may offer some price cuts throughout the year on home appliances, but Memorial Day weekend offers some of the best discounts of the year. With the markdowns on old inventory, shoppers will likely see bigger savings on major appliances — like refrigerators, ranges, washers, dryers, and air conditioners — than usual. There are also Memorial Day sales on small appliances, such as fans, upholstery cleaners, air fryers, and more.
