As we've seen, Best Buy doesn't shake things up too much when it comes to its Memorial Day sale.

Best Buy Memorial Day sale: key information

If you've got any burning questions about the Best Buy Memorial Day sale in 2024, we've got the answers for you along with all the most up-to-date information.

When will the Best Buy Memorial Day sale start?

Best Buy hasn't confirmed when it will launch its Memorial Day sale in 2024 yet. However, based on events in previous years, we expect it will launch a few days before the holiday to run across the full weekend with a start date on or around May 24. The retailer's appliances sale will likely start earlier than that, too, from around May 17.

Best Buy Memorial Day sale: deals to expect

The Memorial Day sales always feature massive discounts on major appliances and we're confident that Best Buy will take the lead with this for another year. 

Be prepared for flat discounts of up to $2,000 on refrigerators, dishwashers, and washing machines from brands like Samsung, LG, Whirlpool, and more. Plus, there will be extra savings on bundle deals and useful extras such as free installation and delivery on select products.

Outside of that, we expect to see lots of great tech bargains. Best Buy's Memorial Day sale should also feature some of the best TV deals we've seen so far this year as the retailer looks to shift stock of last-generation models. This is your chance to score a bargain on budget HD sets, large-screen 4K TVs and high-end OLED displays.

Then, amongst all of that, there should be impressive discounts on laptops, headphones, smartwatches, tablets, air fryers, robot vacuums, games consoles, coffee makers and more.

Insignia 65-inch F30 4K Smart TV: was $549.99 now $349.99 at Best Buy
Insignia is a solid name when it comes to budget TVs and this is an excellent price for a large set from the manufacturer. It covers the basics, with support for high-quality 4K images, voice controls and Fire TV built-in so you have easy access to all the major streaming apps. Sure, it lacks premium features that you find on pricier sets from Samsung and LG, but it's a smart pick if you need a straightforward and affordable TV.

Image

Lenovo IdeaPad 3i: was $629.99 now $429.99 at Best Buy
Here's a terrific value laptop for work or your everyday needs. Performance is solid thanks to the Intel i5 processor and 8GB of RAM, so it can comfortably handle web browsing, video calls, sending emails, productivity apps and streaming. Plus, it also has a large and speedy 512GB SSD that gives you fast boot times and ensures you have loads of storage for files and applications. A handy 15.6-inch touchscreen, reasonable 12-hour battery life and multiple ports round off a great value laptop.

AirPods Pro (2nd Generation): was $249.99 now $199.99 at Best Buy
In case you've missed it in the past, here's another chance to get the second-generation AirPods Pro for their lowest price ever. Apple's newest premium earbuds come with sought-after improvements to audio quality, noise-cancellation and battery life. In our AirPods Pro 2 review, we found these upgrades truly help them compete with other high-end buds making them worth the upgrade or investment.

Image

Echo Show 8: was $129.99 now $74.99 at Best Buy
Best Buy has dropped this handy smart screen to within $5 of its cheapest-ever price. The larger Echo Show 8 smart display features an 8-inch screen that you can use to make calls, watch movies, check the weather, and control compatible smart home devices through full Alexa support. This deal is on the latest generation model, making it an even better bargain, though there is a chance it'll be slightly cheaper in July for Prime Day.

Bella Pro Series 4.2-qt. Air Fryer: was $59.99 now $39.99 at Best Buy
Not on the air fryer craze yet? This cheap and cheerful one at Best Buy will give you the chance to try out the cooking revelation for less. The timer is simple to set, the capacity is large enough to cook meals for four to six people and dishwasher-safe components mean it's easy to clean for reuse time and time again.

Image

LG C2 65-inch OLED TV: was $1,699.99 now $1,599.99 at Best Buy
Based on our testing, the LG C2 OLED is one of the best TVs you can buy today thanks to the high-tech screen that produces superior images with rich colours and vivid lighting. It offers a smooth gaming experience on current-gen consoles, too, thanks to HDMI 2.1 and 120Hz support. Of course, it comes packed with all the usual smart TV features and streaming apps as well.

Image

Sony LinkBuds S: was $199.99 now $129.99 at Best Buy
A return to the lowest price ever for the excellent mid-range Sony LinkBuds S. These more affordable buds come with a handful of premium features that are usually found in more expensive options, such as active noise cancelation. As we found in our Sony LinkBuds S review, they're also light, compact and comfortable, making them great for multiple uses.

MacBook Air M1 (2020): was $999.99 now $799.99 at Best Buy
The Apple MacBook Air from 2020 with its revolutionary M1 chip is still one of the best laptops ever made, even though it's a few years old now. We awarded the device 4.5 stars out of five in our MacBook Air M1 review and still rate it highly to this day. Apple's premium laptop is fast, responsive, beautifully designed and has a long-lasting battery life. That's why you should definitely consider this deal that brings the device down to its lowest-ever price.

Image

Ring Video Doorbell (Wireless): was $99.99 now $69.99 at Best Buy
If your home doesn't have existing wiring, or you'd prefer the convenience of a wireless setup, then you can pick up this version of the Ring Video Doorbell. It's now $30 off, which is $10 away from the record-low price we saw over Black Friday last November. Even still, it's still a good offer for some useful smart home tech that can monitor your door and respond to visitors.

Image

Keurig K-Duo Coffee Maker: was $189.99 now $154.99 at Best Buy
This do-it-all coffee maker from Keurig allows you to use grounds to brew larger pots of your favorite fast juice or pods to make single-serve portions in no time. Good for those who may be working from home one day and then just need a single shot to take on the go the next day. It's a good price for an appliance that offers so much flexibility, too, and has useful features like a timer and a removable water tank.

Image

Apple Watch SE: was $249 now $219 at Best Buy
A very short-lived voucher at Amazon dropped the price of the latest Apple Watch SE by an extra $20, but this is the next best offer we've seen on the popular smartwatch. While the Apple Watch SE lacks all the bells and whistles found on the Apple Watch 8, it still packs a fast processor, excellent battery life, and all the most-wanted health and fitness features.

Image

Dyson V7: was $399.99 now $249.99 at Best Buy
Best Buy has a healthy $150 saving on the vacuum that we awarded four stars out of five in our Dyson V7 review. It's an affordable, lightweight and versatile option that has no issues sucking up hair, dirt and even pebbles around the house or in the car. The only major downside is that the run time is a little underwhelming at around 30 minutes so it's likely a better buy for a smaller home.

Image

Acer Chromebook Spin 311: was $249 now $169 at Best Buy
This is a terrific low price for a versatile little Chromebook for light use. In our Acer Chromebook Spin 311 review, we said the 360-degree design, build quality and touchscreen all impressed - to the point where it claimed a spot on our best Chromebook list. The fact you can get a laptop with all these handy features for under $200 is a bargain.

Image

Sony Bravia A90J 55-inch 4K OLED TV: was $1,399.99 now $999.99 at Best Buy
An OLED TV for $1,000 or less is always a sweet spot to aim for, making this deal on the fantastic Sony Bravia A90J well worth highlighting. It's an older model now but still holds up as a stellar OLED display - one that originally received full marks in our Sony A90J review. Get it if you want a more affordable option that's still in the realm of high-end display technology with exquisite picture quality, decent sound and HDMI 2.1 support for smooth gaming performance on PS5 and Xbox Series X.
