    You can always cancel the reseration and do another one at the lower price.

    Yes, the reason there is hassle about the price sometimes going up is that Argos state that you have to pay the price on the day of purchase not reservation. So if the price comes down then that part of their T&C's works in your favour.



    From HERE Para 4a.

    For products reserved online for store pick up or any other reservation service, the price you pay is the price in store on the day of collection.

    Yes I reserved a camera at a price and it was €30 cheaper at pick up. I got it for the on the day price as seems to be their policy in all stores now

    Does anyone here have this. I'm just a bit worried it's going to be a small one.

    Dimensions are on the page;
    31.5 x 28.7 x 38.4 cm
    Capacity 800 Grams
    Volume Capacity 0.8 litres

    Seems fairly small to me.

    that is the standard size airfryer, which is fairly small capacity. You are best looking at youtube videos to get an idea of size. If mine broke I would get an XL next time, there is also now a XXL which is only a little bigger than the XL.

    Anyone else having trouble when searching the full Argos siteon mobile?
    Tried changing browser but still get a blank page when I try and search for an item, or change the page to list 80 items instead of 20.

    I got 2 emails from Argos UK (Im close to the border - Strabane) during the week. One of them is a monthly voucher they send out for £10 discount and the other was for £5 as part of the Black Friday week. They are for online purchase only but the big advantage is that the items can be held for collection for up to a week and then the "fast track" system allows you to avoid the queues at the tills and go straight to a collection point.

    Anyhow, got myself a fire TV stick for £30 and a 20 pack of Duracell AA batteries for £5. Happy days :)

    Reminds me of bubbles (think it was him) on the old pre-adverts buy & sell forum where he sold someone a new CD burner for 25 quid I think and when the guy got the parcel and opened it there was a lighter in it :D

    Probably better off getting the larger one for a few Euro more. http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/7507207/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CKitchen+and+laundry%7C14418476/c_2/3%7C19780844%7CSmall+kitchen+appliances%7C14418587/c_3/4%7Ccat_14418587%7CFryers%7C14418598.htm

    Prefer a smaller model.. less room to fit in press when not in use (probably 80% of time)! :D

    You'll be surprised, I have the regular Philips Airfryer and also got the XL one on a lightening deal and both of them never leave the n counter top as they're used daily.

    The black Philips ones have been on sale at half price pretty much every year for the past three years.
    I bought two on Cyber Monday last year

    Do Philips do a compact one like the Tower version? I'd like a smaller one as we have a small kitchen but I'd prefer the Philips brand over Tower.

    Those air fryers any good?

    I've no idea about them, are they deep fat fryers?

    Is the compact one linked above big enough for 2?

    Depends if you want to cook a few things at once or just one thing
    2 people here and the regular Philips isn’t big enough for us

    No stock of larger model in Sligo so will give this a shot for a while. Can upgrade later if needs be.

    But what would you cook in them other than chips/sausages/nuggets? I'm just thinking back to my youth and thats all we used the deep fat fryer for.

    What size/particular model would you recommend for a family (2+4)?

    You've all gotten me hooked now :p
