In June 2018 i purchased the following heater from KOGAN - Kogan 1500W Portable Electric Panel Heater, $89.00, Product No. 6MAMQHUR.
It works very well and i'm very happy with it. I went looking this year to buy another but KOGAN no longer stock this model so i opted for the model i am now reporting on. Its a classy looking white glass panel heater - no fan, no noise, just what i wanted.
The model concerned is KAHTP15WHTA and when i received it there were 2 problems.
1: Excessive off-gassing (really toxic smell) so much so i took it outside for...
Read more 90 mins at full heat to burn-off. That helped but it still hasn't completely gone. 2. The LED display panel wasn't centrally located in the white glass panel and i couldn't read clearly the VERY strange icons to tell you what the unit was doing. I'm 'handy' so i removed the glass panel and relocated it to be located over the internal LED display. Its all working as it should now but i did report back into KOGAN. To their credit they responded quickly apologising and offered me a replacement heater at no cost. That's great customer service. I asked if the earlier model still available ... alas it isn't so i took KOGAN up on the offer. The replacement unit arrive 4 days later but i'm afraid i have to report further issues with this new replacement. Toxic smell still there (although appeared to be no-where as bad as the first) The other fault was that all functions on the glass touch panel on the heater didn't work. 2 were unresponsive. The remote control worked perfectly. I (handy boy) dismantled this unit and found the 2 spring loaded glass sensors just need a bit more length so i slightly stretched the springs,. Now working as it should. I cannot, after the examples above, recommend this heater to you readers. Look elsewhere.
4th June 2022. An update on the 1500w heater.
The main illuminated ON toggle switch is mounted on the RHS and is out of view in normal operation. It would be extremely easy to forget to turn off the ...
Questions & Answers
Ross (from Kogan) thank you for responding. But what do you suggest? You have already sent me a replacement heater at no expense to me (which didn't work as it should) so do we keep banging away until one turns up that works.
The heater looks real flash Ross... but unfortunately they do not perform anywhere near as well as last seasons model. Most of the heat is transmitted out the back with the glass appearing to act as a heat deflector.
Can we work something out here. My wife refuses to turn on the heater because of the shocking smell. This is a real problem for Kogan. I understand the elements are always protected at time of manufacture but you need to test what they are using. What chemicals? They normally burn off after 1-2hrs use. Not this model.
Cheers
