When to buy a washing machine at the best price
Updated : July 2026
On large appliances, the timing of the purchase matters a lot: the same washing machine can cost over €150 more or less depending on the period. Here's when to buy it best.
The best periods
- June: often the year's lowest price on large appliances, before summer sales.
- Autumn (October–November): clearance as new models arrive, then Black Friday.
- Winter sales (January): good discounts on end-of-line models.
The rule that saves
Target an end-of-generation model: when a new one arrives, the old — often nearly identical — drops. On a washing machine, yearly changes are minor: buying the "old" model is almost always the right call.
Don't trust the "was" price
Check the model's real history and compare several stores: the gap between retailers often exceeds the advertised "discount".
