    The previous chat thread #1 is closed due to some weirdness going on with the code etc so we'll continue it here.


    I know this is 'chat' thread but can we keep it strictly to the items posted in the Argos Bargains thread for everyone's benefit.

    Thanks

    Thorntons classic collection is €2.56 in Argos. May be short-dated best before end of july according to HDUK, I ordered a couple from Stephens green branch.
    Order for collection in my local store. That's usually a very good indicator that you're wasting your time going through the rigmarole

    Bosch double oven.

    Very good value- however note:

    "•Suitable for use with LPG (liquified petroleum gas)"!!!!

    I.e. there is an electric grill- but the two ovens are gas (at least that's my interpretation).

    Quite remarkable value though (I recently spent over double this on a Samsung).

    Edit: Reading the reviews- not entirely sure what the hell the comment about LPG is- looks like its a standard electrical oven after all..........

    Bosch double oven.

    Nearly went for this but the oven is just slightly too wide. Good deal.

    Just why would you want another oven in your home cinema room?

    So this probably won't work as a replacement for a conventional electric oven?

    Great to see BA doing what it's intended for.I was tempted to order one when I spotted it but I'd have to rejig the kitchen to fit it in.Nice to see my posting it here helped somebody out rather than seeing bargains being stuck up on adverts or donedeal within the hour of them appearing on this forum.
    If anybody spots a great deal on a single oven I'd appreciate it.

    When did you order it? I ordered over the phone schedule for delivery for Wednesday. So far no cancellation call.

    What was the reason for cancellation, no stock, wrong price or something else?

    Their policy is if its already been dispatched they will let it go for the price and if it hasn't they'll cancel it

    They offered me the oven for 699 and 10% off it or another oven , If your is due tomorrow i'd say you'll get it , would be with a courier by now

    They offered me the oven for 699 and 10% off it or another oven too. I had spotted it on pricescanner and ordered it as my oven broke last week. I'm very annoyed that I can't get the one bargain I flipping well need

    Mine was delivered earlier, I just noticed that I might have ordered a different version that you, what version of the oven did you order? HBM43B250B or HBM13B251B I ordered the 2nd link HBM13B251B that's the fan oven. Maybe you all ordered from the 1st link.

    Delighted with the Argos bargains over the last few weeks when they came out I was looking around for a bargain for a while, got the Delonghi coffee machine, Lenovo table and now the oven, saved over €1000 on the 3 items. Now I just need a gas hob 5 rings. :)
