[ENDED] Win a washing machine courtesy of Argos! [ENDED]


If you're anything like me, I'm sure you do a lot of washing every week, especially if you have rather mucky children like mine, and you need a decent machine that is up to the job don't you? Well look no further as Argos do a fantastic selection of washing machines, from a great range of manufacturers to suit every budget.

In the meantime, today I am giving you the opportunity to get your hands on a brand new washing machine for free, courtesy of the lovely people at Argos.

Up for grabs is this fantastic Beko WME8227 Black Washing Machine which currently retails at £319.95.

 

It has a large 8kg load capacity so it's perfect for doing all those family washes or for those awkward bulky items like curtains and duvets.  It has got a great energy efficiency rating too (A+) and has numerous programmes and features like start delay, a half load option, child lock and a hand wash cycle.

Here's what to do...

If you would like to win this Beko washing machine all you need to do to enter is leave a comment below telling me why you need this new washing machine.

Please also send a quick email to me at athomewithmrsm@btinternet.com so that I am able to contact the winner.  After the giveaway has ended, your email address will be deleted and will not be used for any other purpose.

The giveaway is one entry per person and is open to UK residents only, sorry! The prize will be sent direct from Argos.

The giveaway will close on Friday 27th May 2011 at 5.00pm and the winner will be chose at random (using the Random Number Generator).

Good luck!

love & kisses
Mrs M x

    I do not feel that I have "sold out" as I was not paid in any way for this post!

  3. Wow, what a great prize! Our washing machine has big bits of rust all over it and is not very pretty looking. This one looks amazing, plus it's black so it would go nicely in our kithcen! :)

  5. My washing machine is breaking! It leaks everytime i use it, i keep calling my dad in to try fix it every week. I use the washing machine 4-6 times a day to get through all the laundry with my family and still struggle to keep up. I use re-useable nappies too. I cannot afford to replace it when this breaks and its worrying me so much as i use it so much! Please please please, i would put it to such good use!

  6. Hello, and thank you so much for this wonderful comp - and well done on such a lovely blog!

    My washing machine is old and as I have four young children and use it everyday, I don't think it will last much longer!

    When I split up from my partner in Aberdeen and moved back down to Newcastle to be nearer my family, I was fortunate enough to be allowed to take the washing machine with me. Thing is - my kitchen is has light wood cupboards and doors with a black pebbled effect bench and tiles. Therefore my current white washer doesn't really match. I love your black washer - it looks very unique and classy and something I could never afford as a single - so yes!!! - I would love to win!!!

    I have emailed you my contact details as requested xxx

    I am already a follower on Twitter and have tweeted xxx @TracyNixon

    I already follow your blog xxx

    I am already a fan on Facebook and have shared your great comp on my wall!


    Many thanks again for the lovely comp xxx

  7. Fantastic Giveaway!
    I need this washing machine as mine is on it's last legs! The handle has been stuck back on with super glue the machine is called super silent but I think it forgot that little detail! When it spins the noise it makes is unbelievable-I'm surprised the neighbours haven't reported me to the noise level council!

    I've emailed you for contact purposes

  8. I think it's a great prize...and thanks for posting it!

    I'd love to win this. My washing machine has been fixed twice in the last 6 months by a great firm...the engineer told me 'not to bother' if it broke again because it's beyond repair, and he's set my spin to a lower speed! I'm on strict instructions not to put too much in either!!!! So you can see I really need a new one;)

  9. Ooh Mrs M are you in cahoots with the big corporations now. Still laughing hysterically at the thought of you having sold out ha ha!!!

  29. My washing machine hasn't been the same since my underwired bra came apart, one of the underwires seems to have stuck in the mechanism somewhere (we still can't find it) and it now seems to limp along instead of spinning.

  47. Great Prize.Desparate for a new washing machine.Mine is on its last legs

    ReplyDelete
  48. It doesn't matter what your name is - I was just intrigued as to why you left an anonymous comment, I rarely receive anonymous comments so I presume you've never commented on anything before.

    Doesn't matter either way, I don't feel like I've sold out as Argos haven't paid me in any way for this competition. I'm sorry you find my blog utter bollocks, but now you've established that, you need not waste any more of your time on it.

    We all have choices in life - you can choose which blogs you read and I can choose what I want to publish on my own site!

  49. My washing machine is a temperamental thing, sometimes it doesn't even add any water!! It far from economical as it will only wash 1 towel or a few items of clothes at a time, otherwise it doesn't clean them, so all I seem to be doing is washing clothes at the moment.......please help!!

    I follow you through google connect and facebook, plus I have sent you an email! :D

    My machine has been broken for six months and I haven't been able to save for a new one. Going to the laundrette is a nightmare, as is handwashing things! Make my year...

  51. id love to win as i have a son with ADHD and other learning and develpomental problems and this would come in very handy as he creates a lot of washing , and our old one is very ancient now lol would be a life saver to win x

  52. I NEED to win this washing machine because I have 3 kids (2 of which are teenagers!) but I cannot do any washing at the moment because everytime I put a load in, I go in to the kitchen about 10 minutes later and the whole kitchen floor/hallway is completely flooded :( Unfortunately I cant afford to get it fixed or to buy a new one, so to win this competition would be just the thing I need! x

    ReplyDelete
  53. Ours is absolutely on it's last legs - I half expect each wash to be it's last! Fabulous giveaway xx

  54. Just ignore the haters, they haven't anything better to do. Fab prize and I would love it because my washing machine only works on one cycle and the seal has gone all mouldy and manky! Urgh!

    Dated and Rusty is not the way I want it to look.
    The drum is old and the cycles always shake.
    The seal is tatty and the clothes sometimes shred.
    Its about time that my washing machine gets laid to rest.
    As Argos proove they have the best.
    I would love a new machine or nice and pristine.
    For all my family and friends to admire.

  59. Thank you for another great competition, I keep my fingers krossed every time I enter, but never won, hope this time it will be my happy day. I need a new washing machine as I am expecting a baby and we need to replace our old washing machine as it started making funny noises and not rising propperly.

    i would love to win this stylish machine because my friend who is a single mother has now been without hers for 3weeks, she has had what could be the worst year ever with family illness and accidents and has carried on with a strength from somewhere, i try to support her the best i can but sometimes practical things are needed, this would make a monumentous difference to her life x

  61. Because I'm down to my last pair of socks.

    ReplyDelete
  62. Aww I'd love this washing machine. My current one is dying a very slow and painful (for us) death. 50% of the time it seems to have taken to travelling across the room when it's on a spin and then in the other 50% of the time it simply conks out and doesn't work for days on end which results tipping the machine to investigate any potential problems (not much fun in a house full of girls and who don't have a notion about it). Very frustrating when you live in a house with a very messy 6 year old who seems to attract dirt to every single bit of clothing she owns, so a new machine would go down brilliantly!

  64. Its hard to admit, its a sad day I fear
    My trusty old washer is too old its clear
    No longer bright whites blowing on the washing line
    A new washer is needed Beko(I hope) will suit me just fine

  65. This looks so stylish and modern. I would really love this and we are very much in need of a new washing machine.

  66. Ours is soooooo loud, when on spin, it sounds like a plane is taking off!!!

    ReplyDelete
  67. As much as I love our washing machine,
    It eats my socks and doesn't clean,
    If I win the Beko in shiny black,
    My poor ol Hotpoint would get the sack!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Great thing to do, ignore the troll.
    My machine seems to be reluctant to work properly, I've spent more time inside it fixing faults than ironing clean clothes for the past year, currently it's cold washes only which doesn't clean well. To put mucky clothes in a machine and have them come out clean and fresh would be ace, especially now I have a new way to really dirty them..an allotment, that's gonna challenge this piece of junk I think :)

    ReplyDelete
  69. I would love this washing machine as cant afford to buy one and have to wash clothes by hand

    ReplyDelete
  70. I share a washing machine with 3 other housemates and goodness knows how many housemates before me have used it over the years but it's looking a bit sorry for itself now. I'm a volunteer in the Royal Navy reserves and so always have a load of muddy kit to wash. They say everyone loves a girl in uniform but mines starting to look a bit like i've washed it in the local docks! If we could have a new machine so I look shipshape in time for Armed Forces Day i'd be one happy (and fresher smelling!) matelot :)

  71. Gosh I'd love this! My sicky newborn is creating a lot of extra washing and our 9 year old washing machine is struggling to cope and often protests by refusing to turn on!

  74. oh yes please, whilst our's isn't on it's last legs it isn't a spring chicken either (15yr WM63 Hotpoint), so rather than wait for the commentators curse I would swap it straight away if won (my kitchen is black, so you can imagine how thrilled I'd be) thanx

  86. Hi
    Would love to win this machine as me and son had to move 200 miles away from our home town and leave our few possessions behind...we've finally found an old roof to make our home for the short term, but we have no furniture; no white goods other than a small fridge and a hob with a broken oven.
    A washing machine will make our time here in this unknown area a little more bearable, and my son and i will be able to spend a bit more time together learning our new surroundings rather than mum, ie, me, being stuck over the bath every morning washing our clothes and bedding by hand. (Nearest laundrette = over two miles away)
    Totally unglamourous, totally time-consuming, totally damaged my hands and knuckles!
    Thanks
    Bee

  87. Hey :)

    Our reason is this:
    Ours is quite a few years old now, and I'm always worried it's going to leak again!
    It's leaked several times and our not-so-old flooring has suffered a bit as water has gone underneath it :(

    Plus our kitchen units have also SWELLED due to the water when it's leaked :(

    I dread to pull out the washing machine to see the damage behind it :(

    Sooner or later, I'm going to need to buy new flooring and new units :( So far, they're ok and nothing too bad, but I'm sure it will start to get mouldy or something??

    Plus, the washing machine door doesn't close properly, and you have to push it hard and hold it there until the machine 'clicks' on and locks the door.

    I'll email you my email address.
    Thank you for this.

    PS. IGNORE the bad comment!!!!!

  88. I withdraw my entry please. I've emailed you why :)
    Good Luck everyone!!!!!!

  89. I would love this washing machine. Apart from ours being yonks old we bought it well before we had any thoughts of kids. Now we have a 2 year old (well nearly) and we are constantly having to do washes multiple times as ours hasn't got a CHILD LOCK on it. We would absolutely love one with a child lock and this one does.

  90. I really need a new washing machine.
    For ages ive been finding little holes in my clothes and my kids clothes..
    I have just realised that its the washing machine that has been doing it..
    One of my bras came apart in it and the wire had wripped out the seal around the door..
    i now need a new washing machine, new tops new bra and some new kids clothes... grrrrr

    ReplyDelete
  91. Fab prize!
    I done a load of washing and one of the items was a bra. Don't know how but one of the wires from the cup of the bra came out and has now lodged itself inside the drum some where.
    Can't see it but I now have the most irratating noise every time the machine is on. I think it has caught something on the back of the drum as it has slightly bent! Arrrrgghhh!
    How nice would it be to wash clothes silently!

    ReplyDelete
  92. Well, my washing machine leaks all over the floor (I have to put down towels) when I use it and I've not got any money to replace it so looks like hand washing for me for the foreseeable future. To win this would really save my hands.

  96. I would LOVE a new washing machine because our's has something a bit loose (maybe a screw loose like the operator) inside and when it spins, it not only makes a horrendous noise but it walks across the kitchen which, while amusing at the start, is now annoying....

  97. I'd love to win a washing machine as my old one is totally shafted! It leaves grubby black marks on my whites.

I'm considering prostitution.......LOL, save me from myself!!!!! hahaha

  98. Hey Mrs M!

  105. Hi
    My washing machine has had its days and is comming to the end of its life.It sounds as if it is going to take off when it spins.Can't imagine having no washing machine with 3 children and a messy "other half".This would be my dream win.
    Good luck all.

  107. Wow this would be amazing gift for my family.

    Our machine broke down last year and we haven't been able to afford another one (doesn't help that our fridge seems like it's going to break soon! Oh my days) so we either hand clean our clothes or go to the laundramatte to get our clothes cleaned since them, this would help so much and make our lives easier!

  108. Great prize, like so many other people have stated this is something everyone who has an old washing machine needs...including me.
    The little one is going through a bed wetting stage at the moment, so washing bedding has become almost a daily chore.
    My old machine is just about coping, not sure if it will take the strain much longer...this Beko WME8227 might just be the ticket.

  109. I'd love to win this not for myself but to give to my daughter. She's coming out of a refuge in a couple of months wheres shes been with her children to escape her violent partner. She starting a whole new life and literally will have to start from scratch. This would be a dream come true for her.

  115. it would be great to win, my washing machine does work, well work is being a bit liberal. Firstly the door its lost a hinge so you have to sort of prop it shut, after mastering the door shutting you have to stand next to the thing holding in a button while moving the programe around. Just because one day it decided it didn't like being a washing machine anymore!

  117. What a great prize! I need this washing machine as I have had mine for 7 years now and it is starting to sound a bit iffy when washing a load- if it breaks I may be reduced to shaving my cats to make some clothes to wear whilst I hand-wash everything ;-P xx

  118. God how I need a new washing machine! Thanks for the great blog!

  120. We have a 20 month toddler and Iam a tradesman (but unfortunately I cant fix washing machines)so our washing machine is used atleast twice a day and is on its last legs! The tumble dryer part of it no longer works and its only a matter of time before the washing machine stops working too. My partner and I would love to win this fancy new machine.

  121. We are in the process of moving home and all of our kitchen/laundry machines are built into the units of our flat so we are having to buy everything we need as and when we can afford it. Winning this would be a huge help, especially with the amount of washing our 2 year old produces

  122. We're a family of 5, witha 4yr old with a severe speech & language disorder {he cant speak :( }, we dont have a washing machine & are trying hard to save for one, we do all our washing in the bath by hand, so a washing machine would be a great help & then we could use the savings to buy a tumble dryer.

  123. My son saves up his washing to do once a week and then is always determined to get it all in, in one go. I know that my machine will give up the ghost before long, but there's no telling him. Men!! It looks as though the machine in your giveaway has a large capacity so that would be ideal for us.

  124. My washer is on it's last legs ( like me lol!). We inherited it when we moved in to this house. It's only a 5kg load and the poor thing has to cope with the washing from 4 scruffy folk ( well 3 plus me!)and is rusty and smelly and it's time to send it to "washer heaven". My kichen is black and white so the new Beko washer would look just dandy in it!

  136. I would love this washing machine, as ours is a hand me down from when me and my partner moved in together 5 years ago. I now have a 14month old, who loves to get dirty, and the machine we have now is really on its last legs, taking 2 hours to do a quick wash! We dont have any spare cash to put-a-side so this would be great!

  137. I deserve to win this washing machine, because mine was 2nd hand over 6 years ago, it has broken so many times that by watching the repair man I have taught myself how to fix it! the repair costs would have bought a new machine twice over by now.

  153. When I bought my last new washing machine, I fell for an expensive but useless guarantee. I bought the machine because it could do a full wash in 25 minutes, which I thought was awesome both for the environment and for my energy bills. Unfortunately, all the electronic gadgetry meant that when it needed repair, nobody knew how to fix it, and the "extended guarantee" would cost me £55 an hour for labour! So when it began its games on Christmas Eve (don't they always?!) I just couldn't afford or justify fixing it.

    I managed to buy a second hand one to tide me over, but this one takes two and a half environment-crunching hours to perform one wash. It sounds like a jet engine taking off, it doesn't rinse properly, it won't do a 95c wash, the parts are only obtainable vie Fred Flintstone and I just can't manage a new one (although the Beko is a very affordable price, I have to say!)

  154. There once was a girl called Dawn,
    Who was feeling rather forlorn,
    She had no machine,
    To keep her clothes clean,
    So she washed them by hand when they'd been worn!

    I'm saving for a washing machine in my new house, at the moment everything is done by hand or dropped round to my mum's so she can help me out. A new washing machine would be amazing and would mean that my poor mum isn't having to do laundry for her 30 year old daughter anymore. Thanks.

Hi, big competition- so many with so many needy stories-- still - will share mine... i am now, since two years disabled- so i Have to do my laundry at home- the machine i have is 2nd hand, and nearly everytime i use it - during the spin - it bangs and bangs and bangs- The last time i did a wash- i had to stand in front of it- and put all my weight on top of it- to try and press it down, to minimalize the banging... each time i use it- it might be the last time it works!

Not just yuck but inconvenient too.

    I would love a new washing machine as my current one came from freecycle, and its done mighty fine for the last 3 years, But the power of a potty training toddlers washing seems to be draining it of the will to carry on and it now stops mid cycle and refuses to open!

    This is seriously a pain as said potty training toddler also has eczema and is sensitive to washing powder meaning a thorough rinse is a must to prevent a flare up!
