Looking for new kitchen utensils? If you're reading this article and your kitchen gadget, big or small, broke, you might want to replace that bad boy sooner rather than later. But if you can take it and wait for the best time of year to buy them, I recommend you do so.
I love to get a bargain and check websites for deals every time I shop (look, I'm not going to buy these heels at full price , period). Instead of making a quick purchase, taking the time to wait and find a good discount is a great way to save money in the long run. You know, so you have extra money to buy these heels.
I've been looking for insider tips on why this is important, what times of the year are the best gadgets to buy, and top tips for snagging a bargain. So yes, here is everything you need to know.
Scroll down and get ready for a series of calendar reminders...
Why is it important to choose the right time to buy equipment?
Okay, you may be wondering why this is so important. All the questions here are good questions folks. "Manufacturers and retailers advertise different appliances at different times of the year based on usage patterns," said Justin Reinke, vice president of marketing at Beko Home Appliances USA . "That way, consumers can save significantly by planning their device purchases in that time frame." It makes sense, doesn't it?
The best time of year to buy small kitchen appliances
Typically, cooking and food preparation are associated with the Christmas season. "That's why retailers will probably advertise ovens and stoves in October and November," says Reinke.
The same applies to small kitchen appliances. "For fryers , toasters, kettles and blenders in particular, Black Friday is hard to beat for the best deals when manufacturers and retailers are more willing to slash prices," he adds. "With most Black Friday sales now starting well before the Friday after Thanksgiving, some of the best deals on small appliances can be found as early as November or even before Halloween." Keep going and you'll win the save game.
Reinke also says small appliances are mostly focused on Amazon Prime Day , which became a two-day event in July. "If it doesn't work out in July or November, look for discounts around President's Day, Memorial Day , July 4th and the Labor Day holiday, although these deals probably won't be as big as Black Friday or Prime." . These two dates are very important for the purchase, JS.
When it comes to "healthy energy" gadgets like blenders and deep fryers , Reinke recommends looking around in January, when manufacturers and online retailers are entering the "New Year, New You" market. I'm absolutely guilty of being a part of that crowd every year, so it makes perfect sense to me.

The best time of year to buy cleaning equipment
Traditionally, laundry washing equipment is advertised in late summer and early fall, with a focus on Labor Day before school starts cleaning laundry. Luckily, you don't just have a window of a few months these days. phew "Most cleaning appliances (such as vacuum cleaners , mops and steam cleaners ) are currently at their peak in popularity in April, after tax rebates in the United States, and in July, September and November due to the Fourth of July, Labor Day and Black Day Friday sales," says Reinke. Watch out for these dates for retailers with great deals.

Top tips for purchasing equipment
As you read this and look at your kitchen, do you think about how nice a shiny new appliance would look in it? In addition to choosing the right season, there are other important factors to consider. Here are Reike's expert tips:
- Use the manufacturers' websites to find out which products are right for you and your individual needs. For example, if you use a lot of dishes, a larger dishwasher might be right for you.
- Check home media websites as they often have holiday specific promotions. At Real Homes we cover all major holidays. So keep an eye on our website during times like Prime Day and Black Friday for a rundown of the best deals.
- Visit your local independent home appliance retailer who can help you with expertise in home appliances that you are unlikely to find in a large brick-and-mortar store. You should plan on buying independent ideas even if you don't intend to buy. Most shoppers are surprised at what they can learn and how much they can save at a specialty retailer.
- Consider buying an open or floorstanding model for larger devices. You can usually get a much lower price and avoid supply chain congestion by buying off-the-shelf equipment. FYI, open box devices are devices that someone else bought and returned and are selling at a discount.
You now have all the information you need to close a deal and research any additional information you may need before making a purchase. Your bank balance will thank you for following this advice, trust me.
