Argos VC9630

Advantages: Cheap but good value for money
Disadvantages: Can't think of one

...Having just broken my Prima glass kettle (which I loved) which is a completely different story, my hunt was on for a new kettle. The Cookworks range are pretty cheap in price and I've seen their products in Asda and Argos and am sure they are stocked in loads of other places too. I decided that I would like the old fashioned, traditional style of kettle but being just after Christmas, there was a strick budget to adhere to. I chose the Cookworks Chrome Cordless Kettle which I bought from Argos at #16.99 (sorry the pound sign isn't working!). It is described as 'traditional' in the Argos catalogue and is obviously chrome as mentioned. The handle is black, heavy duty plastic mould as all kettles and it has a black base to rest on. What else is there to say? It is great value for money, quick to boil and when compared to the more... Read review

Advantages: Nice Jacket Potatoes With Melted Cheese:P
Disadvantages: None

...I as faced with the daunting task of buying a microwave. All of the choices out there, all fo the brand names and everything else just confused me. So I picked up the good old argos book and had a browse for microwaves. I managed to find this microwave that argos was having a sale on and marked it 'best buy' and I managed to get this for £119.99 The microwave itself has some very usefull buttons such as TURBO REHEAT, that delivers 1000watts of power to reheat something. Also, you get the lovely auto cook buttons, that automatically cook jacket potatoes, fish, chicken etc. Also a nice reheat button, for reheating chinese, indian meals, (curry.) What more could you want from a Microwave?... Read review

Advantages: Gives a Recipe Book
Disadvantages: Motor is only 15 Watts too weak

...I bought this Magimix 1.1 liter ice cream maker for £45 from argos and was very dissapointed. They also sell a 1.5 liter version for more, but not at argos. I started off with making the chocolate chip ice-cream, the blades are plastic so could easily snap, and when the ice cream thing trys to turn, it can't so it just goes back and forwards back and forwards etc. It is too weak. If that doesn't happen, the chocolate chips get stuck, stopping the bladed from turning. All it is good for is freezing juice, and putting the thing in the freezer and turning it on, what you arn't suppose to do, and making slush puppy, even that it can't do too well. This product is a rip off and whatever you do do not buy it. It also takes 12 hours to freeze the ice cream, so thats another con.... Read review
