1: You get what you pay for
2: You had a warranty, which expired
3: If you chose not to take out cover for it, that's your problem
4: If you don't have contents insurance or choose not to use it, that's your problem.
5: You get what you pay for.

6: Mine has been working fine and I have had mine 3 years but I don't over use it nor use it on a regular basis.

You don't buy dirt cheap for a *basic* range and expect it to last when you use it day in day out.

Items are cheap, because it's cheaper to replace than repair. 12 months warranty is a standard so you lucked out.

If you want to get the item tested, that's up to you, but why spend £££ when the item only cost a small amount?

Items are cheap for a reason hun!

You can contact trading standards, but I wouldn't expect much, as the warranty is out and there is no guarantee after that period.


Put it another way, I don't buy a 1 KILO bag of 99p frozen grissle infested beef and expect Free range organic Sirloin Scotch Steak!

Contact your local Trading Standards and it is likely they will do the test for you free of charge.

I suggest you just buy a new good quality stand mixer. If you think that doing something about the Argos product and spending money for it, then you should weigh which option will cost you more money. If your warranty expired, then there are no chance of repairing or replacing your stand mixer for free. If you are using your stand mixer everyday, maybe you should decide to get a higher power for stand mixer the next time as this could be one of the reasons why your mixer completely broke. Don't end up spending more money trying to get Argos to replace your product than just buying a new one from a different brand.
