Argos glitch. Order a Steamworks Steam Mop Steam Cleaner and receive a VAX S87-T2.

08072011

As per the forum below it is also working here @ Argos.ie instore.

if you order the steamworks mop at Argos, you actually get given the Vax S87-T2, I was unsure this was national or just something at one particular store. Well as I was given this at the Romford branch, so Im assuming its national. I took it home and tested it out, and its rather good. I think its a pretty good price for a Vax, you get one mop head and a 400 ml water tank

Edit: The Vax was previously on sale at 49.99 at Sainsburys (original price 100.00)

32.99 euros

Might not be an error. Its possible that this is an integration from the old catalogue, happens quite often. If an item has certain spec and not going to be in the new catalogue but there is going to be one that has the almost exact same, it is sold as that product until all stock is gone.

Ahh I see quite possibly,although the power of the Vax is 1500w and the Argos Steamworks one is only 900w, much more power for the same money

Thanks but can't see any mention of free vax.

It supposed to be a glitch of some sort, so you won't see a Vax until picking up your order apparently. I hope so anyway, as I have one reserved and will be picking it up either tomorrow or on Monday. If it's not a Vax I am just going to return it, but according to dozens of people you order this but they give you a Vax instead, so fingers crossed. Great find OP, thanks!

collegeme

Ah sorry didn't read it properly. I thought the vax came free. Thanks

Cocoon

I picked one up this evening and can confirm that a Vax is what I received.

No worries. That's what I thought initially too lol. It's a great bargain though, as the Vax retails around €100 when not on offer, so at €32.99 it's a steal

It comes out clearly marked as a Vax in a colour printed box, well packaged in a relatively small box and not heavy at all.

ncur

Hmm, already have one, but gosh darn it what have I gone and done but reserved one. Note to self, stop reading Bargain Alerts! Thanks op

08072011

No its not heavy at all,I managed to carry it and push a pram, and I was rushing before it was spotted

pissed

None in stock near me but it can be ordered in for me. I wonder would they still supply the Vax model.

Cats.Whiskers

possible stupid question alert !

I like many others have mostly laminate flooring, I read that these are not recommended for laminate flooring. The people who have bought them already - what are you cleaning/steaming with this gaget.

Thanks in advance.

08072011

It says on box suitable for laminate flooring,see link below laminate flooring is mentioned in the thread

Got Vax also. Have to say there doesn't seem to be much steam coming out of it and the pad seems to come off after a while mopping.

Not that it's me doing the mopping.

Edit: water container wasn't connected properly! Fine now.
