Yes, Argos really does sell pretty much everything, and kitchen appliances are certainly no exception.
No matter what type of appliance you want to install in your kitchen, you should find that Argos can supply pretty much anything you need. But does that make it the ideal place to go to online? Let’s find out.
How do I locate their website?
Their website address is very easy to remember – it is www.argos.co.uk.
How can I see all the kitchen appliances they sell?
Okay – look for those blue bars that run the width of the website near the top of the page. You’ll see all the departments listed in these blue bars, and near the left there is one called kitchen and laundry.
If you click on that link you will see that you arrive on a page where all the different types of kitchen appliances are listed for you to look at. Next to each one you will see a number – this is the amount of appliances they have in each section.
The link you will need to go straight to this main page for the kitchen section is http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Browse/ID71/12108409/c_1/1|category_root|Kitchen+and+laundry|12108409.htm.
Do they have a lot of kitchen appliances to offer?
Oh yes they do – and they are all very nicely laid out on the site. You will also see the familiar brand logos of a lot of kitchen appliance manufacturers underneath all the departments as they are listed; this enables you to see what is available from a particular one if you have a preference.
They have fridges and freezers, cooking appliances, dishwashers, microwaves and much more besides. No matter what you want, you should be able to find something here that will appeal to you.
Is there a lot of useful information on their site?
There certainly is, and it’s very easy to get to it as well. Let’s say you want to look at their cookers for example. Very well, then click on the cookers link and then select which type of cooker you want from the next page. You’ll see choices such as built in models, dual fuel packages and so on. You can even choose your brand if you wish.
Once you get to the right section for you, you will see a big list of results for all the relevant appliances that meet your requirements. You will see a price, a small picture, a label which states that it is internet only if that applies, and also whether it is available for home delivery. With the vast majority of big kitchen appliances, home delivery is the only way to get hold of these items.
Once you are looking at a specific item, you can click on a button to see a larger picture of it. The quality of this isn’t brilliant though: it won’t reveal the detail on the dials of an oven for example.
It gets better marks for the information though! The details panel reveals all the best parts and facts about the oven, and these are presented in a bullet pointed format. You’ll usually see a link to a relevant buying guide too, should you need more advice on what to buy.
Don’t miss the reviews tab either – it gives you a chance to read what other people thought of the item, having bought it already for themselves. Some might have only one or two reviews, but they are still worth reading.
How easy is it to order my new kitchen appliances online?
Very easy indeed – you can do it literally at the click of a button. There is a green buy or reserve button on every product page, and clicking that takes you into your trolley page. This is great because it gives you the chance to select what service you want. As mentioned previously, you will probably find that you can only choose home delivery, as well as possibly a credit offer.
A screen will pop up asking you if you are registered with the site – but you don’t need to register in order to actually buy anything. So if you want to complete your order without doing that, then just go ahead and complete it!
In conclusion
As you can see, Argos has a huge range of appliances for all kinds of needs and budgets. From the most basic kitchen appliances to the more modern ones with all the mod cons, you will be sure to find just what you need with Argos.
