At a Glance
- Best Buy Outlet sale cuts up to 50% on clearance, open-box and refurbished tech
- Event ends Monday, January 19
- Discounts reach 60% on major appliances
- Why it matters: High-end gadgets drop to budget prices without waiting for holidays
Shoppers eyeing premium electronics can skip the sticker shock this week. Best Buy Outlet is running a limited-time sale that knocks as much as half off retail prices on smartwatches, appliances and other gear.
What’s on Sale
The promotion spans nearly every category in the outlet section:
- Clearance items – brand-new and end-of-stock products
- Open-box – customer returns in tested, resellable condition
- Refurbished – restored to factory specs
Discounts climb as high as 60% for major appliances, while most tech lands closer to 50% off original prices.
How to Shop the Outlet
Inventory updates in real time; popular items sell out fast. Daniel J. Whitman reported that stock is “currently at its lowest” because the event has been running for several days.
Steps to secure a deal:
- Visit Best Buy’s website
- Filter by local pickup or free-shipping eligibility
- Check the condition notes (clearance, open-box, refurbished)
- Complete checkout before Monday’s deadline
## Warranty and Return Details
- Clearance products keep the full manufacturer warranty
- Open-box and refurbished warranties vary by item; read the fine print
- Every outlet purchase is covered by Best Buy’s 15-day return policy, regardless of condition

Why This Sale Stands Out
Most consumers wait for Black Friday or post-holiday clearances to score premium tech at steep markdowns. Best Buy’s mid-January outlet event delivers similar savings without the crowds or limited holiday windows. For anyone who passed on a smartwatch after balking at the regular price, the current cuts bring many models under the $100 mark.
News Of Losangeles‘s commerce team highlights that outlet stock moves quickly; waiting even a day can mean losing the item in your cart. Local pickup options eliminate shipping fees, and the 15-day return window gives buyers a safety net if the product doesn’t meet expectations.

Key Takeaways
- Up to 50% off electronics and 60% off appliances through Monday, January 19
- Mix of clearance, open-box and refurbished inventory
- Manufacturer warranties apply to clearance; other conditions vary
- 15-day return policy covers every outlet purchase
- Stock is low and items sell out rapidly-check availability immediately
