Kambrook KTA120

I bought a Kambrook Toaster KTA120 model for $21.75. Compared to previous toasters that I bought for $10, I am surprised that the browning control is so bad. For example, if I toast one slice of Raisin bread (at the room temperature) and set the browning control at the minimum range of 1, the bread will come out dark brown.
If I toast 2 slices of normal bread, I have to set at 1.5. Setting at 2 will give us black brown breads.
Ironically, the manual suggests us to set at '3' for the first use.
I suspect that the generating heat is too strong. O...

i wish i had read these reviews first
i loved my original pancake maker which i could make thick fluffy pancakes
with this new model it makes very thin pancakes and will not cook inside
the outside of the maker is very hot as well
why did they change the style "if its not broke-don't fix it"
as the others say---do not buy

This toaster has shown itself to consistently toast bread evenly on both sides, in both toaster slots. With cancel/reheat/defrost buttons, and a TWO YEAR REPLACEMENT WARRANTY (as per its box, not the website), it was a steal at just $29 ! Why would you bother buying a toaster five to ten times this price ? After all, all a toaster does is cook bread. Very highly recommended !

We have the red model which looks quite sleek and relatively minimalist.

We use this to toast a variety of breads (multigrain, wholemeal, bagels) and it does a good job of toasting things evenly. The knob adjusting the toast seems to do its job although it was some simple trial and error to figure out which setting was required for which type of bread.

It rarely burns the bread and is generally consistent with its toast.

It has a good ‘lift’ function to help remove the toast. The crumb tray is handy but there still seems to be an infinite amount of crumbs stuck inside.

Good reliable toaster.

Doesn’t do what a basic toaster should do and that is toast evenly. Surely that’s not much to ask.
Reasonably product in build and well priced at $30 Woolworths. Our Breville toaster of 15 years has begun to toast unevenly- one side hardly toasted. Was hoping for a simple reliable toaster. This is the second toaster I have returned for uneven toasting-the other one was a Sunbeam. Still searching for the ‘apple’ NOT the lemon!

Bought this unit a week ago from Big W for $29. Works perfectly. Looks good. Toasts evenly. For rye bread, we found it needs to be set at about 1.5 out of 5 on the thermostat setting. I guess you would go higher if you were toasting crumpets. Can't fault it in any way!

I bought this toaster mainly on account of the sleek, modern design, and in this respect it hasn’t disappointed. It fits conveniently into a little corner in my kitchen, without taking up too much space. It looks neat and stylish, alongside a similar white coloured Tiffany kettle.

Overall, it works well and does the job of toasting bread, but it does have a few design flaws:

Firstly, the springs have been set too tightly, so that when you use the self-eject button - the one labelled “Cancel” on the far left - (and which I always use as I don’...

bought the toaster from Kmart, OK it was about $30 but it toasts one side light and other side dark. The browning control is erratic. Set it on 3 and if you change it to 4 and then back to 3 it burns the toast. Kambrook was once a reputable name but now they are producing rubbish. Sorry Kambrook but its the truth. Its a shame as toasting is the only issue.

First couple of times it seemed fine but now is toasting the bread a little unevenly.
Not expensive and do like the extra width to toast thicker slices or crumpets.
Easy to clean.

We have used this toaster almost daily for over a year and are very happy with it. Its price was the main reason for buying and it is certainly better than many other more expensive ones. The defrost button takes care of frozen bread and it toasts crumpets equally as well on the highest setting. It is compact and is not out of place sitting on our modern kitchen bench. Would recommend highly.

This toastee caught fire and it wasnt even in use. My 84 year old mum threw it into the sink and turned the tap on. Thank god she turned the piwer off but didnt think to pull the pkug out as she was shocked.
She said flames came out of it. How cam a toaster catch fire.

We have had this toaster some eight months. The good things about it are that it is cheap, and also reliable in the sense that it always 'works'. From there things go downhill. My habit is to toast one piece of raisin bread every morning. Even the lowest setting results in burnt toast. I tried a replacement toaster (same model) with the same result. So now I make toast using my watch to time it! Further, the toaster browns the bread more on one side than the other. Finally, even on one side, the browning is not even: dark at the top and pale at the bottom. Such simple things, you would think would have been picked up in quality control. I wouldn't recommend this model.

I bought this toaster back in June 2017. Compact and convenient. I use it everyday. The only problem I found that if I only wanted to toast one toast, one of the side will get more heat than the other side. So it may turn out a bit overheat or black. So I need to turn down if only wants to toast one.

I recently bought a KTA120 Toaster at Big W. It was similar looking to my previous 2 slice Sunbeam Toaster which I used for more than 15 years. Alas, it quickly became clear that there was no comparison in performance between the two. In order not get an even 'toast' (in opposite to a burnt toast) it is necessary to turn it down almost to the minimum and even then the result is touch and go. I would not recommend this toaster - although it is reasonably cheap - to anyone.

This toaster is good for thick slices of bread, just make sure to turn the settings down or it will burn.
For regular slices, it cooks very uneven and leaves one side almost not done (which can be a good thing sometimes).
It is also difficult to clean, and the resulting crumbs tend to burn.
