Black Friday comes but once a year – and can be a real blessing not only for snapping up Christmas bargains but for saving money on essential household appliances. If you’ve had your eye on a new washing machine, the days leading up to Black Friday – which this year lands on 27 November 2020 and continues all the way to Cyber Monday on 30 November 2020 – could be the perfect time to invest in white goods.

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a washer and dryer?
If you’re in need of one, then yes – you’re in luck, as most major retailers offer generous discounts on electrical appliances including washing machines and tumble dryers during this pre-Christmas sales period. Whether the washing machine’s just packed up or you’re renovating your laundry room, spend the next few days deciding what model and features you want, then be practical and compare deals on those models. Obviously, don’t buy something you wouldn’t have wanted to buy if you were shopping in September or January.

Best Black Friday washing machine deals 2020
So far, AO.com is leading the pack – but expect great bargains from Amazon, Currys, John Lewis and Argos among others as we get closer to Black Friday. Don’t forget that John Lewis will price match discounts offered by other retailers at the time of buying, and Currys and AO.com will refund you the difference if the price of a product on their website drops between now and Black Friday weekend, so there’s minimal risk to buying now on those sites.
Plus, Amazon will give Prime customers extra discounts and access to ‘lightning deals’ 30 minutes before they go public, so if you’re a Prime customer – or taking advantage of a free trial of Prime – you can snap up a special offer before other shoppers spot it.
At John Lewis, the washing machine discounts have already started with a huge £130 off the Siemens WM14T470GB 9kg load machine, from £629 down to £499. With a two-year guarantee included, this washing machine reduces washing time by up to 65 percent and its iQdrive motor allows the machine to perform quietly, quickly and economically while delivering impressive results.

Back at AO.com, the Samsung AutoDose WW80T534DAN Wifi Connected 8Kg washing machine is a good bet for slightly smaller households with its 8kg capacity and AutoDose system which analyses just how much detergent is needed – as well as connecting to your phone. Currently on sale at a modest £71 discount (£449 down from £520) we feel like the price might still drop further… and of course with AO, even if you buy now, any extra discount between now and 30 November will be locked in.

Are appliances cheaper on Black Friday?
Yes – in fact, every year this is one of the categories which sees the biggest cut in prices.
