Best deals in the March sales revealed by Which?

Are you after a new laptop, television or fridge freezer? We’ve seen some big discounts on tech, home electricals and kitchen appliances in the March sales, so now could be a good time to buy. 

Our experts track prices throughout the year, not just when the sales are on. That means we’re able to cut through retailers’ spin to bring you only the deals we consider to be genuinely good value. 

All of the deals in this round-up are on products we've rigorously tested. Our lab tests are objective and reflect how products are used in real life, so you can trust the accuracy of our reviews.

However, even though these products scored well in our tests, the best way to see if something is right for you is to read our reviews before you buy.

Emma The Original mattress

undefined
  • Foam
  • Double
  • Medium firm
  • We like:We don't like:

    The Emma Original – one of the most popular mattresses on the Which? website – is still discounted by 50% on Emma's own site. You can also get an extra 5% off by signing up to Emma emails and texts. 

    There's no doubt this is a good price for this foam mattress, but we've seen it on offer at this price before and it's been on offer plenty of times throughout the year, so there's no need to make a rushed purchase.

    Emma Original is made up of a 18.5cm foam core, with an additional 3cm layer of memory foam and a 2cm layer of ordinary foam.

    Best washing machine deal

    Bosch WAJ28008GB (typical price - £449)

    Bosch WAJ28008GB
  • Freestanding
  • Medium capacity
  • White
  • We like:We don't like:

    This freestanding washing machine has all the regular cotton, synthetic, delicate, wool, silk and dark washes you'd expect to see.

    It doesn’t have a rapid wash, but you can always use the Speed Perfect button to reduce the duration of your program choice.

    Best vacuum cleaner deal

    Dyson V8 Animal (typical price - £399)

    Dyson V8 Animal
  • Cordless and bagless
  • 0.6-litre dust capacity
  • 2.6kg
  • We like:We don't like:

    Dyson says this vacuum cleaner uses 'whole machine filtration' to capture allergens and expel air that's 'cleaner than the air you breathe'. However, like most cordless cleaners it has a small dust capacity (0.6 litres), which means you’ll need to use that dust-ejecting button pretty frequently. 

    The V8 is designed for homes with pets and it comes with a motorised turbo combi floorhead, a mini turbo brush and a crevice and upholstery tool.

    Best fridge freezer deal

    Hisense RB440N4WWF fridge freezer (original price - £599)

    HISENSE RB440N4WWF fridge freezer
  • Freestanding
  • Frost-free freezer
  • White
  • We like: We don't like:

    This freestanding fridge freezer has frost-free technology, so you shouldn't have to battle with ice. It's a good choice if you prefer fresh food to frozen, as it’s mostly fridge space.

    Its capacity of 173 litres means it can pack in around nine bags of shopping.  

    Best TV deal

    LG 55QNED816QA (typical price - £799)

    undefined
  • 55-inch, 4K TV
  • QNED display - Quantum Dot NanoCell Plus LCD 
  • Supports HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG HDR formats
  • We like: We don't like:

    This mid-range 55-inch 4K TV makes use of LG's QNED technology, which lights an LCD screen with mini LEDs.

     The remote is intuitive to use, and it has a decent range of gamer-centric features, such as built-in cloud gaming services and support for AMD FreeSync Premium. 

    This TV released at £1,149, but before these sales you could find it for around £799. 

    See our round-up of the around this month.

    Best laptop deal

    Asus Zenbook 14X (typical price - £999)

    Asus Zenbook 14X
  • 14-inch screen
  • Intel i5 processor
  • 512GB SSD
  • We like:We don't like:

    This reasonably portable Asus laptop performs everyday tasks brilliantly and comes with a good variety of ports, including two thunderbolt compliant USB-C ports.

    Its OLED screen is a bit of a disappointment. Text is readable and contrast is good, but in our tests we found it was overpowered by green and red hues.

    Best broadband deal

    NOW Fab Fibre broadband-only

  • Speed averages 36Mbps
  • £21/month for 12 months
  • £5 upfront cost, total cost £257
  • We like: We don't like:

    This is an excellent deal, especially since you're only tied down to a contract for 12 months, so are free to shop around again after a year.

    Best mobile phone deal

    Apple iPhone 13 Mini (original price - £679)

    undefinedundefined
  • 5.4-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display
  • 5G compatibility
  • IP68 certified waterproofing
  • We like:We don’t like:

    The iPhone 13 Mini was released in September 2021 and is seeing a decent discount for the first time. It's worth considering if you're happy to have a smaller screen (5.4 inches). Otherwise, you get a lot of the same premium specifications as the iPhone 13. The cameras are the same with sensor-shift image stabilisation and cinematic mode, as well as sought-after photographic styles.

  • USB-C charging
  • Runs the Android operating system
  • We like: We don't like:

    It comes with a small 32GB hard drive that you can expand if you add a micro-SD card. A quick charge of 30 minutes will give you under two hours of battery life.

    Bose Sport Earbuds (typical price - £149)

    Bose Sport Earbuds
  • Truly wireless, in-ear headphones
  • Three different sizes of Bose's ‘StayHear Max’ eartips
  • Waterproof
  • We like:We don't like:

    Truly wireless in-ear headphones, these are aimed at sports and exercise enthusiasts, and are compatible with Bluetooth devices including those running Apple iOS and Android.

    Their IPX4 rating for water resistance means they won’t be bothered by sweat or if you get caught in a shower of rain, but they’re not fully waterproof – so not suitable for use during aquatic sports where they would get very wet or fully immersed in water.

    March sale shopping tips 

    Check the Which? website 

    As well as telling you which products are best and which are lacking, we’ve also put together a list of the best and worst shops. 

    We’ve quizzed thousands of Which? members on their experiences of shopping in some of the country’s best-known stores and websites, as well as with lesser-known brands. 

    Watch out for sneaky tricks

    Some retailers use underhand tactics to pressure you into making a purchase. 

    These include anchor pricing (when products are on sale more often than they aren’t), pressure selling (‘30 people are viewing this right now!’) and dubious claims about the ‘before’ price of a product. 

    Research customer reviews

    It’s always a good idea to read reviews before you buy a product, but not all reviews are trustworthy. 

    Some sellers incentivise people to post fake positive reviews to drown out genuine negative ones. If you’re in any doubt, check out our expert guide on how to spot a fake review. 

    Returning goods

    The regulations give you a 14-day window to return a non-faulty product, which begins on the day you receive your goods. Many retailers will give you longer than this, but it is always best to check before you buy.
