Argos 'perfect' no inflate paddling pool is £2.78 if shoppers do one thing
As the mercury rises and school holidays loom, many parents are looking for cost-effective and enjoyable ways to keep their children amused and cool this summer. A garden paddling pool is a popular choice but its setup and dismantling can often prove challenging.
Argos offers a solution with its best-selling Bestway 6ft Fun Odyssey Pool, which requires no inflation and is easy to assemble. Simply unbox, unroll, fill with water, and it's ready for use.
Usually priced at £18, savvy shoppers can get one of the paddling pools for less than £3 by using a money saving website, reports the Manchester Evening News.

With much of the UK sweltering under temperatures up to 30 degrees, many of other retailers are offering deals on paddling pools, outdoor toys and even bargain hot tubs. More than 1,000 shoppers have already splashed out on the Splosh Inflatable Family Swimming Pool this month which measures 2m x 1.5m and currently costs £22.99. Meanwhile, Debenhams has the Intex 4 Seater Paddling Pool on offer for £50. Shoppers who don't want an entire pool set up in the garden perhaps for space or safety reasons can instead pick up a sprinkler splash pad on Amazon for £21.99. Meanwhile anyone looking for a grown up equivalent can currently get a huge £110 off the Lay-Z-Spa Honolulu 6-person hot tub at Argos with it reduced to £440.
The Bestway Fun Odyssey Pool remains one of the best value options even before shoppers take advantage of the TopCashback deal. At its initial £18 price tag it has garnered hundreds of positive reviews. The pool is six feet in diameter making it an ideal size for young children. It takes roughly 15 minutes to fill and can double as a sandpit during chillier months.
Bestway recommends the pool for children aged three and above, and insists on adult supervision during use. The pool also includes a repair kit for any unfortunate punctures.
The pool has earned an impressive average rating of 4.2 out of five from over 200 reviews. A pleased customer shared: "For years we've had these pools. So much better and longer-lasting than the inflatable ones. Kids always love them."
Another buyer commented: "Easy to put up. No pumping required, just roll up to put away. My three-year-old grandchild loved it especially when we put the end of the slide into the water."
A different user remarked: "Perfect pool for the kids," continuing: "Bought this as a replacement to the blow up versions. No more trying find a pump, just unpack and fill to desired depth."
However, one reviewer gave the Bestway 6ft Fun Odyssey Pool a moderate three-star rating, noting: "It's not too bad. You really need a flat surface for it to work well. We have a slight tilt and the water filled up it collected to that side."
Yet another shopper expressed satisfaction with their Argos buy, stating: "Great pool for summer, its so easy to put up as you don't need to inflate it. Quite large, it does have high sides so can be filled up to the level you like which is great. Easy to empty as you can just fold the sides under the water, fab addition to keep the kids entertained over summer."
Bestway has several other pools stocked by Argos which can also be bought using the TopCashback offer. This larger 7ft rectangular inflatable option TopCashback new member bonus.

Dunelm cuts 30% off 'comfortable' £55 sun lounger in flash sale
Dunelm cuts 30% off 'comfortable' £55 sun lounger in flash sale The Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger is, according to shoppers "perfect for relaxing in the garden" And relax... and save money too (Image: Dunelm ) Dunelm has slashed the price of a "very comfortable" sun lounger in its latest sale, offering the Amsterdam Charcoal Lounger at a reduced price of £55.30, down from its usual £79, but only until midnight on Sunday, June 22 according to the company's website. The grey lounger boasts 'breathable' mesh fabric and comes with a detachable pillow. The retailer's website suggests it's perfect for various outdoor activities, but customers particularly praise it as "perfect for relaxing in the garden". For those looking for a more budget-friendly option, Dunelm also offers the Helsinki Lounger at £35, available in four colours. It has a 4.5-star rating, slightly lower than the Amsterdam Lounger's 4.7 stars. In comparison, Argos is selling the new Habitat Cali Metal Sun Lounger in orange for £45, which has received exclusively 5-star reviews to date. READ MORE: Cooling cushions, neck fans and other genius ways to keep cool in a heatwave ALSO: Amazon slashes price of 'massive and brilliant' paddling pool big enough for adults The adjustable Amsterdam lounger has four and five star reviews (Image: Dunelm ) The Amsterdam lounger's notable 30% £23.70 discount and its consistent four and five-star customer feedback make it a standout choice on Dunelm's website, reports the Liverpool Echo. A satisfied customer named Andy comments: "Very comfortable reclining lounger. Well constructed all weather covering is perfect for relaxing in garden Tempted to buy a second one, good value." One satisfied customer says: "Very, very comfortable recliner. This is so comfortable! I bought one of these and the Helsinki, cheaper ones, to compare. The Helsinki is comfortable and good value but this is next level! The padding is very comfortable and it's slightly longer and wider, I'm 5'8" and this is better for me. It folds up easily and is light and easy to store. The locking mechanism allows you to recline (Image: Dunelm ) Buyers will need to keep it out of the rain as the cushion doesn't come off to wash or dry, and one person's feedback added a comment on the locking facility on the lounger, saying: "Tilts back easily but as others have said the locking mechanism doesn't lock, it's no problem if you are on a level surface but if you are on a slight downhill you'll slowly tilt upright!" One purchaser was not worried though, saying, "I've just bought another so we don't fight over this one. It's more than double the price of the Helsinki (when being sold at full price) and you can leave that one out to get wet but I think it's worth it for the comfort." The head rest is a bonus for comfortable sitting but cannot be detached (Image: Dunelm ) Article continues below Another buyer gave the Amsterdam sun lounger four stars, noting one area for improvement: "Fantastic lounger very comfortable and stylish. Love that the armrests are thicker than my last loungers, a lot more comfy and roomy. Relaxing in these is lovely and the material keeps you cool. I dropped my rating by one star due to the fact that these don't recline back enough for my liking, just a few inches more would make them perfect." Alternatively, customers can purchase the Argos Home Folding Metal Zero Gravity Sun Lounger in grey similar to Dunelm's Amsterdam chair is priced £45, and also in a choice of teal or blue too, if bringing a pop of colour to the garden or balcony is a priority. The yellow version is currently reduced to £30.15, find out more here.

Amazon slashes price of 'massive and brilliant' paddling pool big enough for adults
The hunt for the ultimate summer bargain is on, as shoppers are snapping up a self-erecting paddling pool that has been hailed as "a heatwave saviour." The Intex Easy Set Up 10 Foot Pool has seen its price slashed by 20%, with the new £42.99 price tag significantly lower than the original £53. Ideal for both kids and adults, this 10ft wide by 30 inches deep round pool is perfect for keeping the whole family entertained through the warmer months. Thanks to its three-layer reinforced material construction, it's promoted as puncture-proof and robust, ready to handle a full season of fun. Featuring a 'fill and rise' system, the above-ground pool simply expands as water is added after inflating the top ring. For money-saving tips, sign up to our Money newsletter here With its straightforward setup, those sweltering at home could be taking the plunge by tomorrow if they take advantage of next-day delivery options available to Amazon Prime subscribers. Inflating a paddling pool often feels like a daunting task, however, Amazon claims that it only takes about five minutes to inflate the ring, and filling the pool with water can be done in 40 minutes, reports Nottinghamshire Live. Alongside the pool itself, buyers receive a filter pump, protective cover and even a repair patch kit for any tears. Although designed for children six years and older, the pool is also a breeze to drain and fold away when the summer sun sets. If you're eager to make a splash without waiting for delivery, Argos has the Funsicle Round Frame 10ft Pool available for £150. While it's a bit pricier, this pool boasts a sturdy snap-in frame, making it an ideal semi-permanent addition to any garden and can accommodate up to five people. For those with larger outdoor spaces, the Large Bestway Framed Pool is a steal, reduced from £159 to just £64.99. It's available in three sizes so you can choose how big you want it. Amazon's Intex 10 Foot Pool is proving popular, with a glowing 4.3 out of five stars from over 36,000 reviews. A pleased customer shared: "This is a fantastic pool, massive and brilliant. Price wise I think this is really good value compared to paddling pools, because it is so much better and I feel sure it will be reusable for years." Another satisfied purchaser remarked: "It's an instant fun pool. I know it sounds simple, but it was fantastic on a hot day, and my teenagers spent hours sitting in it, sipping drinks and chatting." A third pleased customer shared their satisfaction with the product, saying: "We got tired of having to replace the children's garden pool every few years because of both punctures and unattractive discolouration of the plastic. These Intex pools seemed of much stronger, durable design." Yet, not all feedback was glowing, as one buyer left a two-star review, voicing their issues: "The top is constantly deflating, within 2 weeks the top is deformed and sometimes the top is flipped over and the water spills, so I have to rush to lift it up." Nonetheless, the Intex pool has largely been met with approval. One particularly thrilled reviewer gave a five-star rating, stating: "I bought this as a replacement for our family holiday to Spain. (Thanks Covid-19) If you're drunk enough, and the sun is hot enough, it's like being on holiday. As pools go, this one is nothing short of fantastic. Get one."
