Best Memorial Day appliance sales 2020

Buying a new dishwasher, laundry machine or refrigerator can be a big decision — but if you want to upgrade your appliance to save on your utility bills or enjoy the features modern appliances offer, it could save you money in the long run and substantially improve your daily chores and routines. And while a new appliance is a large investment, Memorial Day sales, discounts and deals can make your choices easier to navigate.

For some, cooking at home is becoming a regular routine — and we’ve previously shared shopping guides on smart ovens, Instant Pots, air fryers and more that can make family mealtime less chaotic (and sometimes healthier). Below, we’ve uncovered sales on energy-efficient dishwashers and refrigerators that may help cut down on monthly energy bills, as well as some of the best retailers to shop for appliances in the buildup toward Memorial Day Weekend, including standout deals from Amazon, Best Buy, The Home Depot and more.

In the past, consumers visited big box retailers to shop for appliances — both during sale events like Memorial Day and otherwise. This year, it seems that most purchases will take place online given ongoing stay-at-home orders. Check brand and retailer sites to determine the best sales for you. Last year, for instance, JC Penney announced it would no longer sell appliances. This year, the company faces new financial struggles, meaning it might not be the best source from which to buy an appliance, a long-term investment.

Below, we share some of the best Memorial Day sales to shop this year, listed alphabetically. We’ll keep updating this list in the weeks building up to Memorial Day Weekend.

This microwave has 20 cooking power levels in addition to six quick cook settings to easily cook pizza, baked potatoes, popcorn and more.

1. Frigidaire Tall Tub Built-In Dishwasher

This fully-integrated dishwasher allows for eight types of wash cycles for more cleaning options. The wash system adjusts water coverage and pressure throughout the cycle, which makes it both functional and energy-efficient. With a 52-decibel rating, it’s designed to run quietly and won’t interrupt family movie time or days when you’re working from home.

2. Ninja Toaster Oven with Air Fryer

The Ninja Toaster Oven with Air Fryer includes eight cooking functions, as noted in our guide to best smart ovens. Similar to most toaster ovens, it can roast, broil, bake, toast and warm — thanks to the convection function, it can also function as an air fryer.

1. Samsung Gas Range

For those wanting a multi-use appliance that allows for multiple cooking options, the Samsung Gas Range might be a good choice. It includes a flexible cooktop with five burners, a cast iron grate with a removable griddle and a two-shelf oven.

2. Samsung Electric Dryer with SteamSanitize

The Samsung Electric Dryer features SteamSanitize, designed to eliminate 99.9 percent of bacteria and germs during the dry cycle. It’s also Wi-Fi-connected — you can remotely start, schedule and run a cycle from an app on your smartphone. Since it’s fingerprint-resistant, it’s great for those who have kids running around the house.

1. Costway Compact Mini Refrigerator

The Costway Refrigerator is ideal for anyone in temporary housing, a dorm room or in a small apartment. It has a double door design, adjustable glass shelves and an integrated door handle. The refrigerator also includes a separate freezer compartment that can house frozen items.
