Anyone been to this event previously?

Renovating our kitchen at the moment & need an oven & fridge freezer, but wondering will there be sufficient stock or is it a zombie-invasion-style scramble to get your paws on a limited number of appliances.

I was at it about 4 years ago... it was fairly amicable at that time, I don't know if it still is.. people were going for pillows, duvets, covers, suitcases etc rather than appliances.. no harm in having a look if you're near by.. get there early and join the queue

Any of this sort of stuff now majority of people have decided to go the US route and become complete a**holes....

I wouldn't go near it

Its a pity people don't want the stuff on internet and instead of copying it take a step above it......wishful thinking

Went to the last one of these. A couple of good deals if you need the items - some class of Dyson Hoover, Nespresso Machine and a couple of other bits and pieces. The vast majority was soft furnishings you wouldn't put into your worst enemies house

Creamy Goodness

yup some good deals if you need certain items, got a zwilling 6 piece knife block there last year, some nice bath towels and duvet sets. the furniture didn't look great but if you were looking for decent enough non-ilea furniture for rental property then it might be of use.

Unless you want to fit out a new house this weekend.. it's not worth a least half an hour queuing to pay and another 20 mins to get out of the car park

Skerries

just driving by it earlier and we were held up in traffic for half an hour because of it even with guards assisting, so I can't imagine what is like inside

heavywater

It was very busy. From memory -

Miele C1 for €99
Dyson V6 Absolute for €269
Kenwood KMix €249
Beats €79
Max Benjamin travel set (3 mini candles) €17

Zwilling knife blocks were there but I don't have any recall of price.

Lots of pillows, duvets, bed linen.

Beds between €600 - €1000

Got in early and out relatively quickly. Queue for the till was about 15 - 20 minutes but seemed to get worse as I queued.

CFC007

I was tempted to buy one of the Rest Assured beds but don't think it was ever the highly inflated price that they had advertised.

Yamanoto

The oven I was after was there, but was the same price it's been on their website for the past 3 months.

A quick Google of another couple of small​ appliances I saw confirmed that the sale pricing was distinctly underwhelming. Got the impression a lot of folks were buying just for the sake of not walking out of the place empty handed.

owenbutt

For anyone who missed out, this is what it was like. Absolute madness. I was there well ahead of the queue and 15 minutes before it even opened with two kids and it did not feel worth the wait as I was sure to walk out with something I would never use.

OREGATO

We went to the previous ones in the old location and they were just as bad. Queuing for 25/30 minutes. Wasn't worth it unless you were buying a big item such as a bed or a sofa.

They even posted up apologies on the Saturday evening on their FB page to apologise:

"Due to the high volume of people attending the Arnotts warehouse sale today there were regrettably long delays both at cash desks and leaving the car park.
Arnotts regrets these delays and wishes to express sincere apologies to customers who were impacted.
We would like to advise any customer thinking of attending on Sunday (open between 10 am & 5pm) while we have taken additional measures to prevent this reoccurring, delays may be expected particularly between 12pm and 3pm. There are unbelievable offers at Up to 70% Off, with those you will not be disappointed!"

Bandana boy

Was there at the weekend
Prices on linen and the like was pretty good but the electronics prices were not sales prices at all
I have a need for a new washing machine at the end of the summer so have been researching , have decided on a Bosch model.
Thought i would spin up and see if there was any value I would hang on to it for a few months.
The model I am looking for is pretty much universally available at 379 ,DID powercity etc
Arnotts had it at 499 reduced to 399 !

Googled the TV'S while there and no reduction from the other big players in the market and you have a far easier experience than navigating that carpark and queue.

That said did pick up a new Duvet and some towels at good prices.

Sale will be happening again in November according to one staff member

Skerries

the thing with Arnotts I've found is that it is very expensive whereas the sales only make it very dear

Username2011

Contact Arnotts, they'll be able to give you the correct answer...The last few years they've been in May and October/November, but there is no guarantee they will be this year!

Why do people dig up old threads

Because they probably searched ' arnotts warehouse sale. Could be wrong🀔

Creamy Goodness

Does it make a difference? Its either add to one already open that will appear first on the forum
Or start a new one with the same subject line that will appear first on the forum

The_Conductor

The actual link that they'll use for the warehouse sale
(The last one was in November- and if they're every 6 months or so- we're due one in April.)

It's on this weekend at the National Show Centre, Stockhole Lane, Cloghran, Swords, Co. Dublin

It was there earlier looking for some bed linen and towels

What a crock of sh!t. If you were any way consumer savvy, the prices for equivalent are the same, and cheaper elsewhere. Had a look at the electricals (TV and washing machines), and prices are cheaper in DID, Power City and the likes. Sofas on display were dreadful and over priced compared to Frank McGowens, DFS, Diamond Living etc. Don't be fooled by the big 70% OFF signs everywhere

Needless to say, I dropped my empty basket back at the door and left empty handed

polydactyl

I drove right in and parked and strolled right in at 11. Got better quality duvet abx pillows for my money than I otherwise would it nothing else really jumped out at me. Was half considering going back tomorrow with OH to check out a mattress but those pics have put me off.

baldbear

Queing for stuff you could buy online is a nightmare to me.

Sheep Shagger

Is the Dyson stuff really 40% off?

N.96

If anyone was there/ is there would you mind telling me the price of Kenwood mixers?

I'm looking to get a Kenwood KMix (in red if possible) but live quite far and rely on public transport so only want to make the trip if it'll be worth my while!

Yea this thing seems to be overhyped tripe every time they run it. Arnotts are dearer for furniture, electrical and household stuff. Their discounts just brings them into line with others.
I find Harry Corry decent value all the year round.

It is only reduced from €1349 in Telfords, though, si its a bigger save in Arnotts !!

road_high

If these were "genuine Warehouse Sale" you'd imagine it would be a very infrequent thing rather than yearly or more?

Bandana boy

Electronics in Arnotts Are always a complete rip off , these are only ever worth it for nice towels and duvets !

Does anyone know what the Dyson handhelds are reduced to at the Warehouse Sale?

I think a lot of folks end up buying just to justify the fact they've made an effort to get out there.

I'd be fairly confident the vast majority of stock they're looking to offload can be had a better prices elsewhere.

Always buy Dyson direct from Dyson. They give you fantastic guarantees. We recently got two older Dysons made 'as new' for free.

How did you get them made as new?

Using parcel motel or address pal I got a brand new Dyson (factory refurbished) for much cheaper. Apparently they are unopened returns but Dyson calls then refurbs to not piss off retailers. My V7 had all the stickers on it. Completely unused.

The v10 is 450eur. In other words its the exact same price as everywhere else. As was the V8. All marked as 'on sale'.

The "sale" is a complete con! Apart from some furniture the value was rubbish. Youll find it cheaper online and at the same prices as DID or other similar stores.

We called for an engineer, we had a machine that was just within its 5 year guarantee. Discovered the problem was a screw had fallen out. He fixed that, tightened up all the seals, checked everything on it and threw an eye over a much older machine we had too. No charge. He may not have been supposed to look at the older one for us, but he did.

The site says there is a 90 euro charge for machines out of warranty, though even that would be good value. It is free for within warranty machines.

Mountjoy Mugger

Gone from Arnotts to Dyson thread in one sweeping movement.

The V8 is the only product they have on sale. The V10 they clearly tell you is the same price however you get an extra nozel.

Like Black Friday on Amazon. Couple of good deals, lots of stuff available for same price in store, some stuff with barely any reduction. But if you hype it up enough, people go mad.
