Don't Buy, Stopped Working After 1 Year, Poor Value for Money

published

Like I notice from the majority of reviews below this fan stopped working after 1 year which where we live equates to 4 months of occasional use over one summer, very poor value almost seems like it is designed to break once the 1 year warranty expires. Took it back to JB Hifi where we bought it from, they indicated it was the most common fan they stock that is returned due to faults. Also of note this fan is designed so you can't clean it. So I have a tower fan that looks brand new that I payed $139 for which will go in the bin. I notice Kambrook gave up replying to customer reviews which shows how little respect they have for their customers.



Purchased for $139.00.

Worked perfectly, until the warranty was up...

Purchased in October 2021 at JB Hi-Fi.

Great until it died just after the 1 year warranty expired

Great until it died just after the 1 year warranty expired

The fan will randomly work on low but only from the powerpoint. None of the buttons work anymore

Pros: good air flow, great height for the bed, remote control
Cons: bright blue LED lights, noise, stopped working properly.

Won't buy another Kambrook

Worse Fan I Have Ever Owned.

published

This fan broke within a couple of months!! Paid $130 for it. Expected much much better! Remote was the first thing to go.. then it stopped isolating and then it would only turn on and off at the power point and not at the power button on the machine. Waste of money!

Very hard to clean

published

The turn table broke very easily. It makes noise while turning. And fan is noisy when you change to strong mode. All the functions are put in don't make any different when it is hot. And it is nearly impossible to clean when it gets dust. I had to take of nearly 20 screws to take it down to clean. And dont forget you still need to put them back again.
Well. The only good thing is it comes with remote.

Looks nice, could be better

published

This is a fan that I thought would be better. It is a little loud, and maybe a bit expensive for what it is. However, I have had it for a year and it still works as well as it did on the first day, so I can't complain about that.

Very poor quality.

published

Bought this fan 2 years ago. Really liked it initially but it is probably made from really cheap parts. At the time of this review, the control panel at the top of the fan has stopped working and it no longer oscillates. If it was cheaper, I would recommend it but at its current retail price, it is not worth the money as it has to be thrown away after 2 years. A friend bought the 90cm model and it experiencing the same problem so it seems to be designed to stop working properly after about a year.

It's good for hot days and sleek and nice looks. But when you want lighter frequency it does not serve the purpose. I like it but won't recommend to the people who want a variety of speed options. The remote functions ambiguously as well . Sometimes it works and other times it doesnt

Lasted 6 months

published

To begin with I was pretty pleased. The fan worked queitly and moved a lot of air. The only minor issue was the bright led display.

However over the last month the fan has developed a loud rattle. Like another person found, it also started loud clicking when oscillating for a few weeks until it stopped oscillating completely.

6 months is nowhere near a good enough lifespan. A very poor quality product in my opinion.

Poor value for money

published

I bought 2 of these 8 weeks ago. One was returned and replaced last week for not oscillating. The second original one is now only oscillating every now and then and when it does it makes a loud clicking noise. The replacement one, 1 week old is now making an annoying rattle when in use.
These fans are in our bedroom and are switched on at night and off in the morning, they are not being abused so therefore the issues must relate to poor quality parts. This is very poor on the part of Kambrook as these are not cheap fans at $125 each.
I could not recommend these to anyone unless you have money and time to waste.

My fan has started shutting itself down about 20 seconds after being started. Usually after hitting oscillate or using a higher fan speed? It’s only two days old out of the box.

No idea but they carry a year warranty so you can take it back to store and exchange it they are required by Australian law to do that

Is it possible to disable the beep when the remote buttons are pressed to operate the fan?
My wife turns it on and off several times each night and the beep wakes me up.

Hi Brian, unfortunately the beep cannot be disabled. Thanks, the Kambrook team.

You can remove the sound chip inside, just unscrew the back (there's a Triangle screw so take care), unscrew the chip from the brackets and find the circular box (it's on the right of the chip facing the back of it) and remove with a good set of pliers carefully.

Yup, as 'BradFace' suggested.
