The sale isn't around for long though and is due to end on June 3. But until then, we've pulled together a selection of deals that caught our eye, as well as a few ways to get the select products for even less.
Read on for our favourite deals in the Argos sale.
Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Vacuum Cleaner – £175 (was £250)
Shark's flagship vacuum cleaner features the brand's signature Anti Hair Wrap technology, which removes hair from the brush-roll as it cleans to avoid any tangles. This model also has a 'Flexology' wand, allowing it to bend under furniture.
Argos is knocking 30% off the vacuum cleaner, beating Shark 's price of £247.49. Buyers have rated the Shark 4.6 stars, as one five-star review said: 'Delighted with my cordless vacuum. I have a hairy dog and it's brilliant for just picking up each morning without having to use the plug in vacuum.'
Another said: 'I've had Henry and Dyson, but neither are as good as this. Suction is amazing and the amount of stuff it picks up is incredible. It's lightweight and so easy to charge.'
But this three-star review said: 'Very efficient but had to return as far too heavy for an older lady, not suitable for anyone with weak hands/joints.'
43' LG Smart 4K TV – £161.10 (was £179)
This LG UQ769 Smart TV is already at its 'lowest price ever' at Argos, but is now available with 10% off. It boasts 4K Ultra HD picture quality and LG's immersive sound, plus easy access to streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+ and Freeview Play.
The TV has earned a near-perfect 4.8-star rating, as one buyer said: 'The picture quality is crisp and vibrant, with deep blacks and bright colors that make movies and shows look fantastic. The size is perfect for my bedroom, and the sound is surprisingly good without needing an external speaker.'
Another said: 'Excellent value for money. Picture quality is exceptional for this price.'
However, this review points out a downside: 'Remote is difficult to use and lacks features that I had on my previous LG TV. I am now using my old remote to operate the new TV.'

Google Pixel 8 – £349.50 (was £699)
This SIM-free Google Pixel 8 smartphone boasts a 6.2' OLED display, 50MP camera and up to 72-hour battery life. It's also packed with Google AI features that can fix photos, screen calls and get answers with Google Gemini.
Those seeking a newer model may want to consider the new Pixel 9a, which Amazon offers for £499. But even as a slightly older model, the Pixel 8 achieved an impressive 4.7-star rating, as one glowing review said: 'Great phone and camera. It works flawlessly and takes excellent pictures.'
Another said: 'Bought as an upgrade to my old Samsung and have been very impressed by the speed, responsiveness and usability. If you use Google and like Android, this is a great buy.'
This review was more mixed: 'Warms up when doing basic functions like browsing but otherwise brilliant.'

Apple iPhone 16 – £699 (was £749)
This may not be the biggest price drop in the Argos sale, but it's not often you get £50 off the latest Apple product. The iPhone 16 is part of Apple's latest smartphone series, with this model boasting Apple Intelligence features, 128GB of storage, a 48MP camera and smooth performance powered by Apple's A18 chip.
Amazon shoppers can get it ever so slightly cheaper at £698, or consider the more budget-friendly iPhone 16e (£599). The iPhone 16 has been awarded 4.8-stars from Argos customers, as one said: 'The performance is incredibly smooth – multitasking is a breeze and the overall user experience is fast and responsive. The display is stunning, making everything from streaming to browsing look amazing. Battery life is impressive too.'
Another said: 'Definitely best choice at this price range. Packed with great features, including Apple Intelligence, stunning design, and as close you can get to that compact phone feeling with a premium touch.'
But this less-impressed buyer said: 'The only difference from my iPhone 14 is the addition of a camera button. The location of the button is in an awkward position whereby it's not any easier using it versus how you normally use iPhone cameras.'
iPhone 16 – Buy it here
Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 – £151.20 (was £189)
Samsung says this Galaxy Tab A9 is ideal for 'everyday entertainment and productivity in a portable package' and it's now 20% off. The Android device features an 8.7' screen, split-screen multitasking and a powerful chip for TV streaming or web browsing.
However, shoppers can get the larger Tab A9+ for free by upgrading to a Galaxy S25 with a rival deal at Mobiles.co.uk, where the handset is available for £24.99 per month. But the budget-friendly Tab A9 has racked up a 4.5-star rating, as one reviewer said: 'Excellent small tablet, great size to take away on a holiday, so many functions. Much easier to see than a phone.'
Another said: 'It's priced relatively cheap but it's definitely a mid range tablet, can handle most tasks with ease. It can run all my favourite games and a decent battery too.'
However, shoppers should note the tablet doesn't include a charger, as this buyer said: 'There was no Samsung charger with this. I have always had chargers with previous tablets.'

Shark's 'impressive' cordless vacuum automatically empties itself now £200 off Shark's PowerDetect cordless vacuum cleaner automatically empties and charges itself after every clean, with users saying it's 'so much better than Dyson'. 'This gets up so much dirt and the auto-empty is so satisfying to watch' Shark has cut £200 off a vacuum cleaner that can automatically empty itself in a mega price drop. The Shark PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner has been reduced from £549.99 to £349.99. This 37% discount is also available at Amazon, where the same model costs £349. Shark touts its PowerDetect as a 'powerful, intelligent, deep-cleaning' vacuum cleaner, equipped with two brush rolls and multiple sensors that automatically enhance its cleaning power for optimal performance. It can also detect edges, corners and different floor types, and will increase suction when necessary. But the standout feature of this model is the Auto-Empty Base, which automatically empties and charges the vacuum while it's docked, so it's always ready to go. READ MORE: Virgin Media is handing customers free iPads right now - but be quick READ MORE: 'Brilliant' Clarkson's Farm book narrated by Jeremy Clarkson is free in Father's Day deal The base is said to hold enough dirt and debris to last 45 days, so the vacuum needs emptying less frequently than an a standard model, while Anti-Odour Technology protects against bad odours. Unlike many competing vacuums, this model collects dirt when pulled backwards as well as forwards, while the Anti Hair Wrap Plus feature removes hair from the brush-roll as it cleans. This makes it perfect for homes with pets, along with the included motorised pet tool that can be used to remove hair from upholstery. The Shark boasts a powerful battery capable of running for 70 minutes, with the charge level displayed on an LED screen that also includes the 'Dirt Detection' feature, reports the Express. Shark PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Vacuum Cleaner £549.99 £349.99 Shark Get the deal here Product Description Shark shoppers can save £200 on the PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner Shark's deal matches the price of Dyson's V11 Advanced, which the brand says is the most powerful V11 and currently comes with a free 'Floor Dok' worth £100. But for those looking for a more affordable vacuum cleaner, Amazon will knock £50 off the Smoture Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with a coupon on the product page, taking the price from £169.99 to £119.99. But the Shark PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner has been earning praise from customers, securing a 4.4-star rating 247 customers – 205 of which left four or five-star reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Great vacuum for all your needs. "We've had three Shark's, this one is fantastic. No worries about emptying, just pop it on its stand and it's all done. Great pick up to, just vacuum away. No need to change setting when going from carpets to solid floor and vice versa. Plenty of tools for other cleaning too." The Shark vacuum has a 'Flexology' wand to clean underneath furniture Another said: "I have dogs and this is so much better than Dyson, which I had to spend hours pulling bits of dog out of it to make it work. This gets up so much more dirt and dust and the auto-empty is so satisfying to watch." Article continues below This buyer was less-impressed, saying: "Works fine, picks up everything but it gets blocked very quickly and you need to put it onto stand to empty more than we would like." But this five-star review said: "Better than my Dyson. The vacuum seems well made and has much better suction than my Dyson, it vacuums to the edges and definitely does a better deeper clean. Having three dogs we need a vacuum that can cope with all the hair. The anti hair wrap function works really well. Battery life is really impressive and allows me to clean our four bedroom house in one go."
