Even in ye olden days, before the internet and before mobile phones, Argos was the go-to place for bargain electricals, homeware, and toys. It’s still a great place to pick up a few Cyber Monday deals. Plus you can order online to click and collect from a local store, for near-instant gratification, instead of waiting days for a delivery. The best of both worlds. For tech discounts from all UK retailers, have a look at our best Cyber Monday deals page, running until the end of Monday.
Samsung Galaxy A34 5G for £250 (£150 off)
Need a reliable, quality phone that doesn’t cost a fortune? The Galaxy S34 5G is a solid pick at all times, and an even better one with this discount. It is a much hardier phone than most others in this class. Rated at IP67, it’ll shrug off being dropped in a puddle, and Gorilla Glass 5 protection is excellent at the price. The cameras won’t challenge a Galaxy S23’s, but can still crank out pretty images, particularly in good lighting.
Chromecast with Google TV 4K for £40 (£20 off)
One of these dongles can make an older TV feel new. It effectively replaces the set’s entire smart TV system, and will generally feel a lot faster. Unlike early Chromecasts, this one has a full interface and a remote. It’s a bit like a smart TV front-end merged with Android, as you can install apps and games. This is the 4K version. The cheaper HD alternative at £23 may do the trick for second TVs, or if you don’t subscribe to the pricey 4K tiers of streaming services.
Lenovo Legion Slim 5i Gaming Laptop for £1400 (£400 off)
Lenovo’s Legion is one of the best gaming laptop series to head to if you want power, but don’t want your laptop to scream “gamer” at everyone within line of sight. It’s more classy than that. It’s also damn powerful, with a current-generation Nvidia RTX 4070 and the latest-gen Intel CPU. You also get 1TB of storage, double the norm for this series.
LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter Set 75355 for £140 (£70 off)
We can’t resist a good deal on a LEGO set. This one specifically states it’s for adults (18+) though it’s X-Wing, not X-rated. It’s just a gorgeously complex kit that requires near-Jedi levels of concentration. Ironically, Argos also has a deal on the LEGO Star Wars TIE Bomber 75347 for only £40 rated age 9+ which is fine… if you don’t mind the thought of your children going to The Dark Side.
Silentnight Hotel Collection 13.5 tog duvet £24 (£12 off)
This is the price for a single, but whichever size you choose Silentnight’s Hotel Collection is 1/3 off today. The duvet’s 13.5 togs of luxe microfibre is wonderfully warm for winter. Plus it’s machine-washable and even goes in the tumble dryer. Cozy and clean equals a great buy.
Lexibook Cyber Arcade Handheld Console for £19 (up to £16 off)
You can get this portable gamepad in three variants: Spider-Man, Frozen, and Paw Patrol. Each comes with 10 franchised games plus 140 classics. It’s small and basic… but if it keeps a tiny person off your phone then it pays for itself fast. Besides, they might grow up to be an eSports pro.
Dyson V8 Absolute Pet Cordless Vacuum for £27 (£130 off)
Argos’s Cyber Monday deals are flying off its website’s virtual shelves. It’s already sold out of the V15. But the Dyson V8 was the best budget buy according to the WIRED team. Its 40-minute max run time is very respectable for a stick cleaner and this version boasts a de-tangling floorhead that isn’t just for pet owners–it makes light work of vacuuming human hair too.
Flymo EasiLife GO 250 16cm Robot Lawnmower for £425 (£220 off)
Robotic lawnmowers are no longer the preserve of the landed gentry or even dot.com millionaires. At this price, they finally compete with regular mowers, when you consider how much time you’ll save. This model is designed for smaller gardens of up to 250m² (which is still a pretty big garden for us peasants). If you’re lucky enough to have more land, the Flymo EasiLife GO 500 (£460) is also reduced for Cyber Monday and can tackle up to 500m².
Kärcher K5 Power Control Car & Home Pressure Washer for £332 (£83 off)
This premium pressure washer comes with everything you will need to spring clean your home and car. There’s even a rotating patio cleaner and special brushes for car shampooing. Or just get a great deal on the Kärcher K5 (£272) without all mod cons.
Siemens EQ300 Bean-to-Cup Coffee Machine for £320 (£160 off)
This is a bargain for a high-end, bean-to-cup coffee machine. It’s slim at 25cm wide, yet boasts a built-in milk frother, to make popular coffees (including cappuccino, lungo, latte macchiato, espresso) at the touch of a button. What’s more, it cleans itself for the ultimate stress-free cuppa.
Asus Vivobook go 15 OLED Laptop for £299 (£200 off)
If you told us a few years ago we’d see an OLED laptop for £300, back when the upgrade cost for a vanishingly rare laptop OLED might have been £300 alone, well, we’d have taken some convincing. And yet here it is, courtesy of Argos. It’s a full HD OLED screen matched with 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD—enough grunt for some real work. The Intel Core i3-N305 processor is no slouch either, even if is an entry-level chip. This would make a great family PC. It ships with Windows 11 S, a limited version, but you can take off the training wheels easily enough with no tech know-how.
Nintendo Switch OLED Console for £300 (Up to £35 off)
Will a hotter Nintendo Switch OLED deal arrive before Cyber Monday wraps up? Perhaps, but maybe not for this Mario Edition of the console, complete with red Joy-Cons. Argos lets you pick a free game, and it’s not all cheap dross. Metroid Prime Remastered, Bayonetta 3, and Fire Emblem Engage are our top picks in the selection. The white and standard blue/red Switch OLED models are part of this deal too.
Apple MacBook Air M1 Laptop for £800 (£200 off)
This laptop was released in 2020. While that may seem an awful long time ago, the M1 MacBooks still hold up beautifully today. Apple still sells this very model for a grand over at the Apple Store too. While we often see MacBooks selling below that price online, it’s typically around the £860 mark, not as low as £800. Even Apple’s refurbished models cost £50 more at £850.
Jabra Elite 8 Active True Wireless Earbuds for £130 (£70 off)
We at WIRED declared these our best overall earbuds for working out “way more comfortable and more secure and sound better than pretty much any other workout headphones I've tested”. With IP68 waterproofing, decent noise canceling, and great sound, the Jabras are a top buy at this price.
Bosch Series 4 Flexxo Cordless Vacuum for £125 (£125 off)
This half-price deal is the best Flexxo price we can find anywhere. It’s a versatile, cordless stick vacuum cleaner with a motorized brush floorhead to lift dirt and a pop-out handheld vac in the middle. So it’ll clean the car, furniture, and hard-to-reach spots as well as floors.
Pico 4 VR Headset for £260 (£90 off)
Meta has sold a crapload of Quest 2 headsets (below) this week. Its arch nemesis, the Pico 4, has finally hit back with a discount. It’s a bit pricier than the Quest deals, and you don’t get a £50 voucher as part of the package. However, this headset does have some of the key optical improvements seen in the Quest 3. It uses pancake lenses and has one display per eye, meaning fewer wasted pixels. You also get three games as part of the bundle: Arizona Sunshine 2, Green Hell VR, and Warplanes.
Doro 10.4 Inch Tablet (32GB) for £190 (£110 off)
Some sites bill this ten-inch Android tablet as “for seniors” but really it’s just easy to use. So it’s good for anyone who appreciates large icons, a bright display, and clear speakers. It also works well for children, if you’d like to avoid the walled garden of an Amazon Fire tablet.
Toshiba Fire 50 Inch Smart TV for £299 (£80 off)
This is a great price on a 50-inch TV, the 50GQ5D52DB to be precise, with Amazon Fire built-in, with apps including Netflix, Prime Video, and Disney+ plus, of course, Alexa voice control. Add an aerial and you get Freeview channels too. All on a crisp 4K, UHD, QLED screen with integrated Dolby Atmos sound.
Meta Quest 2 128GB VR headset for £200 (£100 off)
If you’re planning to hook your headset up to a PC, there’s really no need to plump for the much-pricier Meta Quest 3. Its greater power only comes into its own when used solo. The resolution of this headset is still up there at 1920×1832 pixels per eye (in theory; horizontal resolution ends up a bit lower as there’s a single panel, not one per eye), and today it costs less than half the price of its successor. The price comes up as £250, but follow instructions further down the page to claim a £50 Argos eGift Card, effectively bringing the price down to £200.
LEGO Pixar 'Up' House Set 43217 for £30 (£20 off)
Something in our eye is making this LEGO kit extremely hard to build. Channel your existential angst into the mindful making of this model, which comes complete with Carl and Russell minifigures, Dug, even a squirrel. Aimed at age 9+ but Carl (78) showed us that there is no upper age limit on adventure. The same is true for LEGO.
Ninja Foodi Max Dual-Zone Air Fryer AF400UK for £149 (£100 off)
If you want an air fryer, go large or go home. Its two drawers can be used independently or synchronized to make family dinners easy. And you’ll appreciate the extra 9.5-litre cooking capacity on Christmas day. This is the kitchen gadget everyone wants in 2023. Ninja received plaudits in our WIRED air fryer group test, although it was the Ninja Speedi that took our top award. Argos also sells the Ninja Speedi for £138 (£102 off).
Xbox Series X 1TB Console for £370 With Free Game (£110+ off)
At £110 off the RRP, this was already a good price, but what sets this Cyber Monday deal apart is the free game bundle offer. Be sure to scroll down the Argos product page and click on the Special Offer, to select from the shortlist of £20 games. You can also get a good deal on extra controllers.
Black + Decker 1.5AH Cordless Twin Pack for £67 (£43 off)
A top deal for DIY enthusiasts… and the less enthusiastic. The pack includes a cordless drill, an electric screwdriver, two 18V batteries, and a soft carry case. Put up those shelves and build that flatpack without delay–click and collect means you can make light work of jobs around the house even sooner.
Baylis and Harding Advent Calendar for £22.50 (£22.50 off)
It’s never too late to hype up seasonal excitement. And while children expect 25 (yes, not 24 but 25) days of swag from their advent calendars, a dozen is plenty for grown-ups. Plus this gift will come as a delightful surprise in mid-December.
Oral-B iO Series 3 Electric Toothbrush Duo Pack for £95 (£25 off)
Today’s the day to buy the electric toothbrush of your dreams–never pay full price for one. In fact, buy two with the duo pack aimed at couples who don’t want to share (or who clean their teeth together, ew!). Unlike some twin packs, this less-than-half-RRP duo pack comes with a handy travel case. It’s £25 off recent prices.
Cookworks WK8290QEH Kettle for £12 (£8 off)
Cyber Monday is here for bargains big and small. WIRED's reviewers have tested many kettles but, frankly, if you're not too fussed about your cuppa, they all boil water. So grab an Argos own-brand bargain for your home or office, in black or white. There’s also a matching Cookworks T3207VE toaster for £12 (£8 off).
