Early Memorial Day sales on refrigerators 

Gaining our notice for best fridge design, Samsung’s Bespoke refrigerators knock it out of the park. Customizable with replaceable door panels, you can match your fridge to your dream kitchen palette, rather than being forced to go the other way around. At 29 cubic feet of space, this model can handle family meal planning like it’s nothing. The beverage center makes getting water or other drinks a breeze, but my favorite feature is how easy it is to change the water filter. It’s both attractive and incredibly functional. 

This appliance has 27 cubic feet of food storage available, and it has the added benefit of being made by a brand kitchen enthusiasts know and trust. Highly rated, this model has the fast functionality and elegant aesthetic of the French doors, which allows you to store whatever sheet pans and party platters you might need to put in the fridge. The fingerprint-resistant stainless steel finish both stays cleaner for longer and goes with almost anything. This model usually retails for $3,700, but right now, you can save a whopping $1,000 off the list price.

Not all kitchens need (or can accommodate) large double-door fridges, but this compact model from Frigidaire gives you all the stainless steel style in a little package. At less than $230, it’s a great deal if you’re thinking about adding an extra fridge to your basement lair.

Early Memorial Day sales on washers and dryers

If you’re short on space, it might be worth considering a washer/dryer combo. This ventless LG WashCombo combines your washer and dryer into one machine, saving you time and space. Being able to dry also skips the step of having to haul heavier damp laundry from one vessel to another. This mega-capacity machine offers a 5-cubic-foot barrel to get the big jobs done. It comes in two color options, and you can even add on a pedestal storage drawer (for an extra $299) to gain storage capacity and raise the height of the machine, which may be helpful to those with issues bending too low.

LG’s WashTower Laundry Center is a great washing machine and dryer option for someone with limited space. This stacked set features a 4.5-cubic-foot washer and a 7.4-cubic-foot dryer, and the EnergyStar rating will offer you both economic and ecological peace of mind. With app connectivity, you can track all the info from wash time to maintenance needs right on your phone. 

This set has got a $601 discount from its typical $2,199 price tag, but right now, you can score an extra $150 off during the Buy More, Save More event.

Early Memorial Day sales on ranges

This Frigidaire glass top range offers the easy cleanup of a single surface and a stainless steel finish that matches almost anything (but it also comes in black or white for $50 more). It boasts a potent 3,200-watt EvenTemp element, for reliable temperatures every time. It has a quick 30-minute steam clean function for a simple-to-maintain pristine oven. The extra wide storage drawer should fit baking racks with ease. 

The LG Studio gas range is striking to look at, but it’s more than just a pretty face. Outside of the matte white finish with bronze contrast knobs and overall handsome presence, this gas range offers both air frying and sous vide capabilities thanks to the in-built ProBake convection technology, making it a massively multi-use addition to any home chef’s cooking arsenal.

A range of deals on cooktops and ovens:

Early Memorial Day sales on dishwashers

This LG dishwasher comes equipped to tackle your post-dinner dish load with a third rack to take full advantage of all available space. In addition to that, this model has the technology to spray the dishes from multiple angles to really tackle those stuck-on bits that get missed by traditional dishwashers. 

This KitchenAid PrintShield dishwasher with topside controls has three racks (the third being the FreeFlex rack with rotating jets) so you can wash more items at once, saving time and water. At 44 dBA, it’s quiet for a dishwasher. It comes in two finishes, with one costing slightly more than the other. 

Streak-free savings on dishwashers:

Early Memorial Day sales on microwaves

This over-the-range microwave model packs 1,000 watts of nom-nuking power. Its easy-to-clean finish resists fingerprints and smudges, and the two-speed fan helps to heat food thoroughly. Hovering above your stove, you won’t have to give up counter space for this robust reheater.

This stylish microwave looks great on the counter and works like a charm. It comes in green or white and it’s currently $69 cheaper than the regular price. It’s also just 0.9 cubic foot, making it a good choice for dorm rooms and rentals as well.

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 also anticipating a variety of deals on items such as 4K TVs, home goods like furniture and decor, outdoor tools and more.
