Does anyone have one of these and could give me an opinion. I've got one reserved but would like to know if it's any good before committing to purchase.

As Homebase is Argos I suspect they will sell out at the same time. Thanks for the info.

Seems a good deal, as is this one which is an Argos return.

I've bought from this company 3 times now and am 100% satisfied, their stuff is simply what someone has returned to Argos and usually due to poor packaging it's not re-stocked, so sold on to this company.

In this case there's only a £17 difference and given that the Phillips was £100, I'd go for it (if I hadn't bought a 10" Wharfedale one last week from the same site for £62 !!)
