Argos is selling handy garden gadget with five-star reviews and it’s 62% cheaper than the Bosch version
IT’S time to get outside and give your garden a little bit of TLC as the weather heats up.
Argos is flogging a handy garden gadget with five star reviews and is far cheaper than the Bosch version.
For just £28, the Challenge 400W Hedge Trimmer is ideal for small to medium-sized hedges.
Weighing just 2.5kg, the piece of kit is easy to use and packs a punch.
The dual-action blades can cut through branches up to 16mm thick and have a 41cm cutting length.
The trimmer is not cordless, but comes with a six-metre power cable.
To give you peace of mind, there is a one-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
The tool has received glowing reviews on Argos’ website.
One customer wrote: “A little sceptical as it was cheap, but we took the leap and smiles all around.
“Easy to assemble, not too heavy to use and no arm ache.”
Another echoed: “Great hedge trimmer for what we needed very cheap works well, easy reservation and collection system.”
A third wrote: “Purchased a corded hedge trimmer at a very reasonable price.
“Well worth the money has done an excellent job in a matter of minutes. Highly recommended.”
Argos is also selling the Bosch 45cm Corded Hedge Trimmer but it’s £75, making the Challenge the ideal choice for gardening on a budget.

You can also pick up the Flymo Hover Vac 250 Lawnmower for £59.99 from Lidl.
Designed for small gardens, this electric mower has a powerful 1400W motor that allows it to “float on a cushion of air, making it highly manoeuvrable”.

Double check prices
It’s important to ALWAYS compare prices to make sure you really are bagging a bargain.
Websites like Pricespy allow you to compare prices of products from over 3,000 shops, so it makes most sense to shop around before committing to one store.
If you’re in an Argos branch you could do it on your mobile phone before you buy the item.
Check out discounts BEFORE you shop
Head over to the Argos Voucher Codes page to check if there are discounts or deals on what you want to buy – before you shop.
Check whenever you shop, as Argos refreshes their deals regularly.
There’s a sale all year round
Yes guys, there is always a clearance sale.
The Argos website has a clearance section, where you can get deals and discounts on everything from toys to TVs and laptops.
For example, a digital microscope that retails for £109.99 is now just £34.99, a saving of £75.
Argos also offers regular discounts, such as £10 off your next shop when you spend over £100.
That means if you’re planning on buying two items worth £100 or more each, it could be worth buying in two separate transactions to get additional savings.
There’s a dedicated ‘spare parts’ section
There’s nothing more frustrating than losing your remote control or breaking the cutlery basket in your dishwasher but did you know that Argos has a dedicated spare parts section on its website where you can get a new one.
You can also buy spare parts and cables for your gardening tools, oven, vacuum cleaner, power tools and more.
