How to Get the Best Sale on Dishwashers
Aside from planning when to buy a dishwasher (which we cover below), there are a few other tricks to saving on a new dishwashing machine. At Don’s Appliances, we offer the following dishwasher models on top of our regular selection as a way for shoppers to save even more on the top dishwasher brands we carry.
Scratch and Dent Dishwashers
A great way for bargain shoppers to save hundreds on automatic dish care is by exploring our scratch and dent dishwasher section. This may take a few tries to find the model that works for your needs, but this unique dishwasher clearance selection offers some of the biggest markdowns. In many cases, the dents and scratches are hardly noticeable, and crafty buyers might even be able to DIY the cosmetic damages.
Closeout Dishwashers
Watching for new models of dishwashers to come on the scene is a great time to keep an eye out for dishwasher sales and closeout dishwashers of last year’s models. If you’re not so concerned about acquiring all the latest and best technology from year to year, this is the perfect option for you.
Open Box Dishwashers
Keeping an eye out for open box dishwasher sales is another great way to find discount dishwashers. These are items that have been purchased and opened, but not installed or damaged. We monitor all our open-box appliances to ensure no model placed on the floor is a lemon while offering a considerable discount.
Dishwasher Promotions and Rebates
Tracking each season’s sales is an artform, so for shoppers who are more casual about savings, consider dishwasher promotions and dishwasher rebates. With year-round offers on brands and models, dishwasher promotions and rebates give the everyday shopper a way to save money on top brands, and while the savings might not be as low as scratch and dent, open box, or clearance dishwashers, this open allows shoppers to save on brand-new models.
Dishwasher Financing
Not ready to put some money down on a new dishwasher? No problem! Many appliance dealers, including Don’s Appliances, offer dishwasher finance options with easy monthly payment programs that make owning a new dishwasher more affordable.
