Even though the holiday falls on February 19, Best Buy will likely launch its Presidents' Day sale the week before so that it runs across a full weekend. Also, as we've seen in previous years, the retailer will start its appliances sale before that with massive reductions, bundle savings and free shipping on many items.

Expect to see discounts of up to $2,000 available on a selection of major appliances from the likes of LG, Samsung and GE Profile, as well as low prices for smart TVs, phones, video games and headphones.

If you plan to do a lot of shopping at the retailer, then you may want to sign up for a My Best Buy membership. As a member, you get access to exclusive deals and discounts on select items, as well as a host of other benefits such as free shipping, 24 / 7 tech support and an extended returns period.

When will the Best Buy President's Day sale start?

Best Buy has not announced the start date for its Presidents' Day sale, but based on previous events, we expect that it will get underway on February 16. That means it will start early and run across the Presidents' Day weekend. 

The retailer's huge appliance sale should start even earlier than this, most likely at least a week before the main sale. 

What deals will be in the Best Buy sale?

As a major electronics retailer, you can expect to see a whole host of tech in the Best Buy Presidents' Day sale.

The best offers in this event are in the major appliances category, including refrigerators, ovens, microwaves, washers, dryers and more. Outside of that, TVs, laptops, headphones, video games, wearables, phones and smart home tech will have the biggest savings. 

Just don't expect deals as strong as those we saw during Black Friday. Many could match the record-low prices we saw at the end of last year, but it's unlikely that products will be cheaper during Presidents' Day in categories outside of major appliances.

We've included some of the top deals from last year's Best Buy Presidents' Day sale below to give you an idea of what to expect.
