1. Look for Holiday Sales

What’s the best time of year to purchase a washer and dryer? Major holidays are a prime time to snag washer dryer set deals.

Retailers often run significant promotions during Black Friday, Memorial Day, and Labor Day, offering steep discounts to attract shoppers.

Black Friday washer deals offer some of the year’s lowest prices. Meanwhile, the month of April and washer and dryer Memorial Day sale events in May are great times to find a washer on sale.

Labor Day sales focus on clearing out older models to make way for new stock, making them great opportunities to save big.

2. Take Advantage of Clearance Sales

When do washer dryers go on sale?

Clearance sales are another excellent way to save on washers and dryers. These sales typically occur when retailers need to make room for newer models.

You’ll often find them at the end of the year or end of the season, with discounts reaching up to 40% or more.

In addition, showroom floor models are frequently sold at reduced prices. These units may have minor cosmetic imperfections but still function perfectly, offering significant savings.

At Arizona Appliance & Home, we recommend checking our clearance section both in-store and online for unbeatable deals on high-quality appliances.

3. Shop During New Model Rollouts

Right after a new model is released is an excellent time to shop.

New models typically released in September and October. To make room for incoming stock, retailers often discount older models, giving savvy shoppers an opportunity to score premium appliances at reduced prices.

Keep an eye out for these seasonal price drops, and don’t hesitate to ask about upcoming releases.

At Arizona Appliance, we’re happy to help you navigate these transitions and find the best deals.

4. Consider Online Shopping and Flash Sales

With the rise of online shopping, the best time to buy washer and dryer is no longer limited to holidays and new model rollouts.

There is an online world of opportunities for finding discounts on washers and dryers. Exclusive online deals and flash sales can provide significant savings, often for a limited time only.

Signing up for retailer newsletters ensures you’ll be the first to know about special promotions and time-sensitive washer and dryer clearance sales.

Additionally, comparing prices across multiple retailers can help you pinpoint the best value so you can snag discount washers and dryers when they’re available.

With our user-friendly website, Arizona Appliance makes it easy to browse, compare, and secure deals on top-quality washers and dryers—all from the comfort of your home.

5. Leverage Financing and Bundle Deals

Financing options can make high-ticket purchases more manageable by spreading out payments over time.

And sometimes you need a new washer and dryer ASAP because yours are broken; you don’t always have the luxury of waiting for a sale on washer and dryer sets.

At Arizona Appliance, we offer flexible financing plans to help you bring home the appliances you need without breaking the bank.

Buying a washer and dryer set together is another way to maximize savings. Many retailers, including Arizona Appliance, offer bundle deals on laundry pairs that reduce the overall cost and may include perks like free delivery or installation services.

When you bundle your appliances, you also ensure that both machines match in style and performance, creating a cohesive look for your laundry room.

⭐Featured LG Washer Dryer Review:

"I bought this washing machine to replace my previous LG washing machine that was ~15 years old but still working. The Consumer Reports review for this washing machine and the LG deal was too good to say no. Anyways, I’m extremely happy with this upgrade! It’s quieter, more efficient by adjusting time based off load size, also love how the machine updates my LG app and Alexa. No more constantly checking on progress or leaving clothes in the washing machine (mold!!!). Highly recommend."

GE White Front Load Laundry Pair

Shop GE White Front Load Laundry Pair

This compact GE washer and dryer set is perfect for small spaces like apartments or laundry closets.

The washer is easy to install and offers 14 convenient cycles. And the dryer is also easy to install, thanks to its ventless condenser design.

We love the sensor dry technology and the Extended Tumble setting, which keeps your clothes from getting wrinkled when you’re not ready to empty your load.

⭐Featured GE Washer Dryer Review:

"This is my 2nd of this exact washer (the 1st was damaged in a flood). Perfect for my tiny home. Works as well as any full-sized washer I've ever used. No louder than any other washer. I've seen other reviewers complaining about the load size. This is NOT a full-sized washer; one cannot expect to cram a full-sized load into it and have a good result! Definitely worth the money."

⭐Featured Amana Washer Dryer Review:

"My old Maytag dryer didn't want to work properly anymore so I was out looking for a new one when I came across this Amana. It's slim line features & basic operations sold me. I have used it about 10 times now and am happy as a lark. It is so quiet & I believe it is cost affecting. I am now sold on Amana products."

Whirlpool White Laundry Pair

Whirlpool is known for its reliability, and that’s no exception with this laundry pair.

The spacious washer features a 2-in-1 removable agitator, a built-in water faucet, and a smooth stainless steel basket along with options for presoaking, deep water washing, and quick washing.

⭐Featured Whirlpool Washer Dryer Review:

"Purchased this to replace our older one that had a leak. Very happy with it. The capacity is good, and the removable center agitator makes putting in bulky items possible. Cleans better than our previous one, which had no agitator. The faucet function is a delight, makes for easy rinsing of the soap from the cup or soaking for stain removal. Very quiet unit as well, not like some that sound like a jet engine. Would have preferred a more detailed control console, showing current stage and maybe timing, but that's a ‘nice to have."
