Here’s a fact that might have flown under your radar: Fall is one of the very best times of the year to upgrade your home appliances. With summer a sweet memory, and the dust having settled on back-to-school season, momentum starts to build for the holidays. Before the festivities start and the guests arrive, autumn is an ideal time to level up your range, fridge, washer/dryer or dishwasher—or all four.

These upgrades will not only boost your holiday entertaining game, they’ll also reduce friction in everyday life. Think state-of-the art ranges that make cooking a pleasure, smart fridges to expedite holiday meal prep, and washers that drain the drudgery from laundry day (well, a good chunk of it, anyway).

Another reason to upgrade? There are plenty of deals to be had this time of year. Leading the way is The Home Depot and its definitive Fall Appliance Savings event, featuring head-turning savings on best-selling appliances. Take a look at some of the offers to consider how a small investment could make a huge difference in the day-to-day functioning of your home. Shop the event now through October 21.

Crushed, cubed, or craft? Those are the ice-making options from this elegant beauty in print-proof stainless steel, perfect for frozen drinks, fancy cocktails, or ice-cold thirst-quenchers. With 28 cubic feet, this fridge is equal to the largest holiday meal needs, and the unit’s Smart ThinQ Technology lets you control key features like temperature settings and ice production from anywhere via your smartphone.

This sleek machine has a large-capacity oven tailor-made for holiday cooking, plus a no-preheat air fryer to whip up wings, fries, and burgers in a flash. Oven cleaning requires just 10 minutes and a bit of water, and the edge-to-edge glass ceramic cooktop surface features an ultraheat element capable of 3,200 watts of power.

You wouldn’t guess that this compact dryer contains 7.4 cubic feet of space, but indeed it does—which means it can handle much more clothing than you would expect, adding up to fewer loads, less time spent, and more energy savings.

The best thing about an air fryer built into your oven—apart from all the deliciously crispy food—is that it frees up valuable countertop real estate. This range also has five burners, a convection oven that cooks food faster and more evenly, and voice-enabled controls that allow you to preheat, monitor, and adjust temperature remotely.

If your laundry setup is in an apartment or other small space, this is the washer-dryer combo for you. It’s got a super compact design, 11 wash cycles, six temperatures, and insulation that promises to dramatically reduce operating noise.
