Home Depot 4th of July Sale 2020: Appliances, grills, tools, and more

The 4th of July falls on the weekend this year (unlike last year, when it fell in the middle of the week), prompting many retailers to start running their early sales all week long, and some longer than that. Home Depot is no exception, and the sale includes deals on a range of items including appliances, tools, grills, and smart home tech.

The sale is traditionally one of Home Depot’s better ones and is a great time to save on some home essentials that you would likely pay close to full price for otherwise. Summer’s also a great time to do some remodeling, and if you’re in the market for new appliances, there are a few special buys that we’d like to bring your attention to. Special Buys are a great opportunity to replace several of your aging appliances at once and save quite a bit of money.

Here are some of the better deals we’ve spotted in this year’s sale.

We find the best way to buy appliances through Home Depot is to purchase them when the retailer offers them as part of a “Special Buy,” where the more appliances you buy, the more money you save. In many cases, you’ll end up saving 30% to 50%, if not even more. However, there are a few other deals across the site for individual appliances in case you’re not ready to upgrade all of your appliances at once.

  • LG 4-Piece Stainless Steel Appliance Package — $1,748 after Special Buy discount, was $3,646
  • Refrigerators — up to 40% off
  • Ranges — up to 35% off
  • Dishwashers — up to 40% off
  • Washers — up to 40% off
  • Dryers — up to 40% off

Home Depot 4th of July grill deals

As you might expect, the deals on grills and grilling accessories aren’t as great as the ones on appliances because we’re basically in the middle of the grilling season. Still, after a fair bit of searching, we were able to find some solid deals — so if your grill is on its last leg, there’s plenty of time to get a new one at a decent price.

  • Coleman RoadTrip 285 Portable Grill — $220, was $250
  • Royal Gourmet 3-Burner Gas and Charcoal Combo Grill — $360, was $430
  • Royal Gourmet 8-Burner Propane Gas Grill — $390, was $460
  • Lifesmart Pellet Grill and Meat Smoker — $449, was $678
  • Vision Grills Kamado Ceramic Charcoal Grill — $622, was $699
  • Weber Genesis II E-310 3-Burner Propane Gas Grill — $699, was $749

Home Depot 4th of July smart home deals

The smart home “revolution” wasn’t as revolutionary as some claimed it would be, but there are still some great applications for this technology when it comes to things like home security and climate control. Smart speakers like the Google Home Mini are also hugely popular (and are a great way to take control of your wider smart home ecosystem with simple voice commands), and the Home Depot 4th of July sale has some nice smart home deals and bundles that can save you up to 50%.

  • Google Home Mini Smart Speaker — $29, was $49
  • Honeywell T5 Smart Thermostat — $79, was $109
  • Lenovo Smart Display with Google Assistant — $100, was $200
  • Defender Guard Bullet Outdoor Wireless Security Camera (2-Pack) — $140, was $190
  • Google Nest Smart Thermostat — $199, was $249
  • Google Nest Smart Thermostat + Nest Smart Hub — $279, was $339

Home Depot 4th of July tool deals

We understand that you might not necessarily be thinking about anything work or chore related — many of us are trying to just enjoy our vacation time. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t get ready for when you do. Home Depot is a home improvement store, so it’s no surprise that a lot of tools go on sale during its 4th of July sale. Here are some of the best deals we found.

  • Dewalt Atomic 20-Volt Max Cordless Drill Kit — $99, was $159
  • Ryobi 18-Volt One+ Cordless 6-Tool Combo Kit — $199, was $299

Walmart may have won the 4th of July sales with this 50-inch TV deal
The onn. 50-inch 4K Roku TV hangs on a wall.

If you're not familiar with onn., it's a company that specializes in budget TVs, often in the 4k range, so they're a great option if you want to upgrade your home theater setup without breaking the bank. In fact, there's even this 4th of July deal from Walmart that discounts a 50-inch onn. 4K TV down to just $198 instead of $238, allowing you to grab a 4k TV for less than $200.

Why you should buy the onn. 50-inch 4K TV
There's a lot to like about the 50-inch onn. TV besides the price, and while 4k has become somewhat commonplace nowadays, it's still nice to see on a budget TV. Similarly, while you won't get something like HDR10+, you still get HDR10 and its excellent contrast ratio and brightness. The image fidelity is also impressive for a budget TV, so you can watch all your content and play games without worrying about getting a sub-par TV. Another thing you don't often see on budget TVs is Dolby Audio, and even though that will work for most folks, we encourage you to check out some of these soundbar deals instead; they're just as cheap and will offer much better sound.
