How these numbers are calculated
Appliances here are the in-stock major appliances at Best Buy (refrigerators, washers and dryers, dishwashers, ranges, ovens, cooktops, microwaves, freezers and range hoods), not counting parts and accessories. We record each one's price from Best Buy's product data every day and keep every change.
We use the 4,198 appliances that already had a price in November 2025. For each month, a product's price is the last price recorded on or before the end of that month, and the index is 100 times the median of (that month's price ÷ its first-month price).
The Black Friday comparison uses the last price we recorded on November 28, 2025 for each product we were already tracking then and that is still in stock. The two lists include appliances priced $200 or more whose price hasn't changed more than 8 times in 90 days, at most two per brand or product family. Price drops count cuts of 10–50% from a price held for at least 3 days; "lowest price" products have at least 90 days of history and are 10–50% below their highest recorded price.
