When is the best time to buy a new dryer?
Dryers, like washing machines, are best purchased during the months of January, September, and October. Our data shows that during those months manufacturers tend to roll out their new machines, which in turn causes retailers to discount their current inventory. While that may sound like you're missing out on the new models, in reality you'll be getting a better deal because unlike consumer gadgets, which can evolve rapidly over a year, larger appliances like dryers generally don’t undergo dramatic changes over the span of a year.
Can you find dryer deals anytime of the year?
Dryer deals don't occur every day, but fortunately there are enough major holidays that should you should be able to find good deals throughout the year. Outside of Thanksgiving and Black Friday, you'll also find excellent deals on Memorial Day, Independence Day, and Labor Day.
