When is really the best time to buy new white goods? 

• Washing Machines: August, at the moment 25 out of 50 of the most popular machines have prices lower than the average price. If you wait until the Black Friday sale then you will get a second chance to get a great price. September and October are more expensive than average – so wait if you can. 
• Tumble Dryer: Prices are currently higher than average, with price history showing that December, January, and February are the cheapest month to by a tumble dryer.  
• Fridge Freezers: The best prices are during Black Friday and Boxing Day sales. In August, 17 out of the 50 most popular fridge freezers have prices lower than the average. September and October and the most expensive months and prices are increased up to Black Friday. 
• Fridge: Avoid purchasing a new model in the summer if you are looking to get the best price, as there is a higher than average price and only 10 out of the 50 most popular products have a price lower than average, meaning you will get less choice. December and January are the best months to buy a fridge.  
• Dishwashers: Prices have increased and are currently higher than average, which may be due to high demand and low supply. Only 4 out of 50 of the most popular products have a price lower than average. The same time last year, this was the opposite with very low prices. Extra meals to prepare and cook could be the reason behind the increased demand, in a bid to save time on washing up.  September, October, November and December are great for buying dishwashers – in particular November and December when almost all of the 50 most popular machines have a price lower than average. Avoid purchasing in Spring as price history insights show that costs are high.
