Will Black Friday be worth it this year?
Last year, due to the pandemic
and subsequent supply crisis, Black Friday was nonexistent.
Most manufacturers skipped it.
Those that promoted during Black Friday
last year didn't have appliances to ship anything.
This year may be different.
In this video, you'll learn the best
brands and individual products to consider.
I'll tell you the companies that will not be promoting and as a bonus, at the end,
I'll tell you the unofficial start of Black Friday.
And as you may have guessed,
it's not the day after Thanksgiving, but way before. You should know,
so you can be first and avoid the possible lines and supply issues.
Let's get started.
Premium brands like Sub-Zero,
Thermador, Bosch, and Miele will not be participating in Black Friday this year.
Mostly because the lead times are 6-15 months.
So you want to order these at the start of your project and not wait around
for a holiday, which could possibly delay your construction.
Beko, JennAir, KitchenAid, Whirlpool, SKS and LG Studio are not participating
for various reasons or perhaps supply issues.
That leaves us with GE, LG and Samsung who will all be promoting this year.
LG and Samsung started Black Friday promotion years ago.
I'd watch these three brands when you do
your appliance shopping. I'll give you some highlights.
We'll provide links to all the best Black Friday deals down below.
The slowdown from the recession has most impacted laundry sales.
Now manufacturers have a glut of it.
LG's popular front loads will once again be $699 for the washer and the dryer each.
They were selling at $949 in the beginning of the year.
Their one piece wash tower $1,699, down from $2,399 early in the year.
GE's best front load with the microvan antimicrobial and 32 load dispenser is now
under $1,000 after being $1,199 at the start of the year.
For refrigerators, the LG 25 cubic foot bottom mount is $400 off at $1,399.
That's a big enough refrigerator for family of
five. GE's counter-depth 19 cubic foot refrigerator is only $1,599.
That's down $400.
LG's massive 30 cubic foot French door
with three ice makers, including one for craft ice, is $2,999, a savings of $800.
The more basic ranges are on sale,
like the LG electric or gas freestanding ranges with convection are now $799.
That gas range has a 20,000 BTU burner.
The Profile five burner gas and electric ranges is now $999.
You have two 18,000 BTU burners on the Profile gas along with a griddle.
I can only find two dishwashers that are worth
while, but both are really popular and quiet under the 44 decibel quietness
standard. LG has steam to help lift off tough stains like casserole dishes and dry
glassware better at $799, that's a $300 savings.
The Profile has the special bottle washers on the top rack designed to spray
the residue out of your sports or baby bottles, as well as a silverware basket
with 40 separate sprays and a unique drying system driving plastics at $999.
It's down $125 for Black Friday.
Black Friday now starts in early November.
We'll be completely rolling out Black Friday by November 4 through
Cyber Monday, which is really Black Friday, November the 28th.
Here's a big tip, if you're in the market for an appliance, buy early.
There may be an excess of inventories and certain models, but you want to avoid
any backorders and potential supply problems, especially with past history.
Wait for the prices to change or call your
salesperson and have him or her call you and then act so you don't have to wait
three to five months for even a simple dishwasher like last year.
Well the recession has hit the appliance
industry, so you can now take advantage of this
Black Friday. You may not have the sheer
quantity of years past, but models on sale are still popular and worth considering.
There'll also probably be store level deals and financing as well.
As always, check reviews to determine the best place to shop in your area.
Moving forward,
I think you'll find the best deals around holidays like in years past.
The next one is President's Day.
