    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!"

    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

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

    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!

    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 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

    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.

    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!
