Let me know what one it is. Really surprised if it is 4k at that price. Currys are selling for 90e I think

MiskyBoyy · 28-01-2019 12:24am

The same EAN on Argos.co.uk has no mention of 4k: https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8798723

It’s a glitch/mistake on the listing and I expect it would be a waste of time testing it out, the pic would have bold 4K on it surely

Does anyone know if sales/promos on UK Argos happen before they do in Ireland?

UK have a code for 25% off all Silentnight products (beds, mattresses, etc.) but there's no sign of it on the Irish site yet

More often than not both sites work in tandem when it comes to offers, sales, promos etc. However I have seen times where an item or product could be discounted on one site but not on the other.

Did you get a chance to check the type of firestick it is?

I got the second generation from Amazon for £16.66 on December 12th, the remote is different, hasn't volume buttons.
It's mad that you have to use PW for delivery here, yet they allow sale in Argos?

RossieMan · 29-01-2019 8:13pm

Ye it's the 2nd gen. Picture is wrong and spec sheet is wrong.

Its till 489.99 so you can just use the self service.

Won't let you order using that code- you have to use an alternate- which is @ 1049.99

If you got it for the cheaper price- well done- its a lovely piece of kit.

Remington AIR3D Hair Dryer with Diffuser, was €250, now €90, decent reviews, bit of stock around...

https://www.argos.ie/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10152&catalogId=14551&langId=111&searchTerms=air3d&authToken=

Remington is one of those brands that charge excessively for product to give the impression of a discount. Then you combine that with argos' same format on certain items and you have a ridiculous "was" price of €250 to get suckers to buy in quantity at a more reasonable price of €90. General price of that item is around €125, so whilst the argos price is good, don't be fooled into thinking its a €250 hairdryer

bored_newbie · 14-03-2019 1:19pm

I tried reserving five separate items on the Argos site. It said 'Can be ordered for collection' for all of them.
Four of the five failed to reserve - it just said "The following items were not purchased" and "Out of stock"
Seems the site is malfunctioning a small bit..

Titzon Toast · 16-03-2019 2:42pm

I'm hoping someone can help me here. I brought a broken PS4 controller back to Argos in May 2018. It was in warrenty and they replaced with no trouble.

The replacement controller gave up the ghost last week, it'll charge up but it won't turn on.
I have the receipt they gave me. Am I entitled to have the new controller replaced under warranty now too?

Yep

When you go back don't go into the whole history of the controller, just say you bought it last May and its still under warranty and leave it at that.

That's what I was gonna do but it mentions the return on the receipt. I'm thinking if I don't mention that and they read it, I'll look like I'm trying to pull a fast one or something.

But in my defence, the replacement died within a year.

Thanks for the replies folks.

Ninja edit.

Can I go to any Argos store? Or do I have to go to the one that's on the receipt?

Any store... Should be warranty from date of replacement

I have seen a couch on it that I want to buy.

Thanks in advance.

Redmi Note 5 smartphone for €120 a good deal? According to HUKD it is.

I was only looking at the Redmi Note 7 on AliExpress last night (which is around €200).

that is a decent price. Three want 200 for one and theirs is probably network locked.

It was 189 now 149 if you port. AFAIK the three phone is unlocked.

Still 29 cheaper than three is cheapest I've seen it anywhere.

I think its bargain myself.

Three put virtually no software on their devices. Vodafone are much worse.

:edit: It's "orderable" according to checkargos

In the exact same boat here. For 80 euro but no returns really, is the note 7 better? ha

Suckit · 11-06-2019 2:37pm

There is not a massive difference. Less than a year between them being released.
The 7 has an newer CPU and has edge to edge screen.
The 5 would be a better deal imho, from Argos.

You can compare the spec here and the cameras here. You can also compare the cameras at the bottom of the first link.

deiseindublin · 11-06-2019 4:01pm

Great find, thanks.

Just about to push the trigger on Argos for the Redmi Note 5, and saw the Redmi 6 for same price.

Both seems extremely good value, but which is a better phone?

the Note 5 is better in nearly every way.

Loads of games reduced very little in stock in Dublin though no injustice 2 or hitman on either ps4 or xbone

Henry Ford III · 16-06-2019 12:05pm

Ok my old toaster expired -well it didn't really it just no longer shuts off automatically, so time for a new one.

Very exciting.

I had a look at www.argos.ie (as you do) and noticed that you can pay up to €209.99

That frankly is a tad out of budget so I thought a 2 slice toaster with stainless steel finish and reasonable reviews might work well.

I saw this beauty. It seems to fir the bill and it's cheap as chips.

I was happy and went to buy......

I then went back for a second look and saw this

It looks very similar and is the same price (albeit reduced from a higher original price).

Can anyone shed any light onto what the difference (ignoring the toast in the pic.) is?

robyntmorton · 16-06-2019 12:09pm

Essentially the difference is cosmetic. Do you want a toaster with a shiny exterior, or one with a less high shine, more satin finish?

Also, enjoy the toast!

Ah - didn't notice that. Thank you. I've gone for the shiny option

If you are paying 210 for a toaster there is something wrong with you.
