Argos has kicked off its bank holiday sale by slashing the price of thousands of products. The retailer's Big Red Event is now in full swing and we've spotted price drops on top brands like Apple, Samsung, Shark and more, with some reduced by up to 50%.

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.'
Google Pixel 8 – Buy it here
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.'

Samsung Galaxy SmartTag reduced from £35 to £13

Amazon is offering the Bluetooth tracker that's the 'perfect travel companion' Bluetooth trackers are a must-have travel companion, letting users keep an eye on exactly where their luggage, handbag and even their keys are. Amazon has slashed the price of the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2, offering a fabulous 62% discount in time for shoppers heading off on their summer holidays. The gadget usually costs £34.99 and can now be purchased from the online giant for £13.20. This is the cheapest price around, with the SmartTag2 costing £20.40 when bought directly from Samsung, while Argos is selling it for £23.99. The tracker can be popped inside a handbag or clipped on to a suitcase, allowing travellers to follow their belongings via the app. It's worth noting, however, that the gadget is only compatible with Samsung Galaxy devices. The SmartTag2 offers up to 500 days of battery, with the handy Power Saving mode extending its lifespan by up to 40%. The device is built to withstand dust and water, making it a robust travel companion. If travellers cannot find their belongings, the tracker's Search Nearby feature provides intuitive step-by-step instructions via Compass View. There's also the Ring Your Tag function that makes the gadget audibly signal its whereabouts to help locate it quickly. If the item still cannot be located, fear not, as the SmartTag2 has a convenient Lost Mode. When this is activated, the Near Field Communication displays its owner's registered contact information on the smartphone of whoever finds it. The Apple AirTag is a similar tracking device for iPhone users. Amazon is currently offering a single tracker on sale for £28, while a four-pack costs £92. Currys is selling the CHIPOLO Bluetooth Item Finder on sale for £11.99. This gadget is compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones. Over 7,300 Amazon shoppers have reviewed the Samsung Galaxy SmartTag2 to date, awarding it an overall score of 4.3 out of five. One impressed buyer wrote: "Outstanding simple piece of tech, effective and does exactly what it says on the tin… I use these on my keys, in my wallet and even in my car. Easy to locate using the app and an absolute lifesaver in the early morning panics of 'where are the keys?' "Helps add peace of mind for security and is very small to hide. Also helps locate where you left your car when parking. Overall, this is a fantastic piece of kit." Unfortunately one buyer was disappointed with the tracker, as they didn't realise it was only compatible with Samsung devices. They explained: "Never read anywhere this was only good for Galaxy phones. Unfortunately I bought it a few months ago in advance of a holiday, so I only just found it won't work with my Google Pixel phone even though it operates on Android." Someone else, however, is thrilled with the SmartTag2. They commented: "Perfect little tracker to keep an eye on belongings. I have one in my vehicle and also use one on my cat's collar. Battery life is also quite surprising. Location history etc. Fairly accurate, too."

Samsung fans snapping up £9 SmartTag 2 thanks to TopCashback deal

Summer is finally here, and many Brits will soon be flying away on holiday to enjoy the sun, sea, and relaxation elsewhere. However, things get lost whether or not that luggage or personal items - the good news is that shoppers can pick up Samsung's Bluetooth SmartTag 2 for as little as £9. Argos is selling the SmartTag 2 for £23.99 on its website - but buyers can use TopCashback to get an extra £15 off the price when they sign up to the website with a new account. The Samsung SmartTag 2 is perfect for tracking luggage, valuables or even your car for shoppers who are worried about thieves or are prone to misplacing things.

With Power Saving Mode throwing in an additional 40%, travellers can trust the SmartTag2 for dependable location services. However, there is one catch - these trackers are exclusively compatible with Samsung phones, which is a vital point to bear in mind. Apple aficionados needn't feel left out; they have options such as the Tile Mate, priced at £20, or they could go for the Apple AirTag, which comes in at £28. But how do shoppers grab this deal? Well, signing up for TopCashback will net them a free £15 on top of the cashback they get from Argos. Here's a rundown of how to get the deal: Grab the Samsung SmartTag2 Bluetooth tracker for £9 from Argos Begin by signing up as a new member via this TopCashback link.

Sit tight; cashback will track and pop up in your TopCashback account within seven working days of the transaction. For new members of TCB and new Argos customers, they'll pay £8.69 after cashback and for new members of TCB and existing Argos customers: £8.79 after cashback. The SmartTag2 has been garnering some serious praise from users, with glowing reviews coming in. A pleased customer shared their experience: "I was dubious at first, being solely reliant on Bluetooth and locked into the Samsung ecosystem, but it has worked well and stood up to the tests of frequent global air travel." They went on to add: "Now have multiple tags for all my luggage and carry-on when travelling for work and have been able to track my bags without any issue even when my bags have landed up in a different location to me." Another satisfied traveller recommended: "If you're a Samsung Galaxy owner, I would highly recommend it. Small, compact, robust, with great battery life."
