Presidents' Day (Monday, February 20) is one of the best times of the year to save on big purchases, especially on appliances. While you take your three-day weekend, take a look around your home and assess if any upgrades are worthwhile. Retailers like Amazon, Lowe's and Wayfair are offering major discounts on large appliances and small appliances, including vacuums, air fryers, refrigerators and more.
If you're wondering whether now is the best time to buy appliances (or if you should wait until later in the year around Black Friday or Cyber Monday), experts say now is the time to shop. The holiday marks a flurry of foot traffic at the mall and digitally. "Retailers understand that they will lose out if they’re not offering special promotions," says Trae Bodge, smart shopping expert at TrueTrae.com.

Is Presidents' Day a good time to buy appliances?
Yes! Carolyn Forte, the Executive Director of the GH Institute's Home Care & Cleaning Lab, says this is true, especially for larger appliances like a new washer, dryer or dishwasher. Larger appliances are definitely more of a financial investment, so it's savvy to hold off buying until a big savings event like Presidents' Day. Plus, Jessica Petrino, educator and appliance expert at AjMadison, previously told Good Housekeeping, "You might see some extra deals beyond the rebates that retailers offer during the rest of the year."
